Nightmare scenario!!!
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today…
Michael Moore said just a few repubs should change to dem and back Jeffries – that would be a curve ball – Jeffries would be Speaker.
There is a section of the parties that Look identical, no matter what their color, blue or red war mongers, greedy inhumane individuals
Republicans, the Trump generation act like a whole bunch of nuts. And it comes to the point where even Trump can get bited if he acts a little bit less MAGAs' rabie.
This is very very disturbing in the age human race have to unite in defeating Russian aggression. The Republican, the next generation don't know and don't care. Me&me& me first and only.
…Sigh….
Meanwhile, Independents like me are watching the GOP's public display of impotence.
Please, continue. 😁
Speaker..Huuummm….Lets see….How about …….GOWDY …Not Ice T, Not Ice Cube or a flavor…But Ice Cold Trey Gowdy….
Guy has unfortunate mustache
And the lesson still won't sink in with National republicans.
The Speaker is supposed to be a fair announcer for the whole game, not a paid off referee
OH Gerrymandering has defied a voter Constitutional amendment for a decade.
The idea of a presiding officer being a partisan hack is ridiculous. They should always do it like this and like they do in the UK, where the speaker is more of a judge-like figure who fairly enforces the rules and not just a party leader.
Brilliant move.
Hopefully ohio will Change its ways
Where is Joe? Taking a long deserve break.
Ohio back at it again with the crazy news headlines
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
I’ve been saying all day that this is what has to happen in the House.
Moderate Repubs are finally realizing that these extremist yahoos are F'ing up the party
Could this insanity actually force bipartisanship!;
Not Ohio
Check out Pennsylvania too. A Republican nominated a Democrat.
It’s very plausible that Hakeem J. Could become the speaker if 6 moderates from the republican side cross over. Honestly, this is what needs to happen to break the deadlock in congress.
Moderates rise!
McCarthy is done. The Republican establishment is done. This is great news. Time for new, younger Republican leadership. The days of the Bush and Cheney republicans are over. Time to get back to basics. We are tired of inflation. Tired of being taxed to death. Tired of being thrown under the bus by so called “Republican elite”. We are tired of being railroaded on every single bill by democrat lunatic extremists!!
Seems the dems are a little more willing to work with those across the aisle for the greater good of the american people.
It's refreshing to see the politicians doing the job we hired them to do, working together to find a fair solution for both sides.
We just need to elect adults to the room. Gaetz, MTG, Boebert, and so many others, are embarrassing our country. They traded the Constitution for Red hat.
No Sh*t, Americans are independent and don't want party politics dictating individual representatives actions.
Independent's are the now majority of what is the constitution. It is a breathing life unto our life of all. Change us forward.
Who's smarter, chuck Todd or a rock?
We’re right in the midst of a political shift.
If the Republican party ever wants to see my vote again, they need to move away, far far away from the name calling, corporate profiteering, liars and school yard bullies that they've become. Instead of trying to empower themselves by blocking anything dems present to them. Perhaps they should be more concerned with passing bills and legislation that benefit the majority of the citizens of the United States. The majority are NOT the ultra rich or the let use impose our religious convictions on others, so called Christians. First off, anyone running for a government position, should have to undergo a security clearance. I'm sick of these questionable (understatement of the year) people aquiring high positions in our government.
Interesting!! Bipartisanship is a great step
I like Jim jordan.
GOP biggest weakness; themselves. The GOP moderates can gain DEM support, but not their nut-ball maga etc.
Another Redcoat traitor.
Democrats should pick a moderate republican in the house
Elect Hareem Jeffries!!
Get the eff out of here. Timing much?
Dems literally had to hold these clowns hands and teach them how to govern correctly. Lol. Yay!
Brilliant
I HOPE THE DEMS AREN'T SO STUPID AS TO TRUST THEM!!!!
The precedent is set. House reps need to take note. This is what AOC was alluding too. Republicans need Democrats to vote for a Republican speaker, but they are not mature enough to look at that alternative outcome to get a Republican speaker.
Ohio just rose 400% in my esteem
