russia couldn't meddle in presidential election this time, but it has a good job disabling goverment by GOP gang.
Reinstatement Nancy Pelosi
This will be a long term problem. A majority of Republicans seem to be angry rebels without a cause. They should have certified the 2020 election – dumb that most of them did not. Frightening how low the quality of leadership is in this group.
Seriously Liz Cheney would make a fine speaker.
If any Reps had any backbone they'd work with Dems, elect Jeffries and move on.
This is what happens when there are too many uniparty members.
Patrick McHenry is the answer. The question still isn't clear.
Who cares about a speaker overpaid crap, abolish the post.
Who tf watches NBC
Republicans must now admit that Trump's claims of massive fraud in the 2020 election had merit, but only because the Cheseboro and Powell confessions of guilt irrefutably exposes the conspiracy to defraud the Joint Session of Congress with fake elector slates as perpetrated by the Trump campaign, Georgia Republican Party and the RNC in up to seven battleground states.
All these war monger potential speakers want to send my tax money outside of the country while transportation infrastructure crumbles here. It has to 🛑. 🤬🤬🤬
Matt Gaetz's only goal was to cripple the US government by any means possible …. and he did.
The majority of the House Republicans do not want a functional government.
It is past time for the Republican Party EXPEL their anarchists.
People, the news pushes for corporate owned politicians. They smear anyone who isn’t corporately owned as far right. Get with the program. They don’t care about you or this county. They care about corporate profits.
The 'jackal caucus' the 'ugly eight' whatever you call these treasonous jackholes, they are also the PRO Putin caucus and they will never be on board with aid to Ukraine…
Speaker of the House MUST uphold the Constitution and the U.S. Laws, the Republicans have blatantly violated their oath of office. America can not ignore this violation, those who were involved in planning the attempted coup must be held accountable, removed from office and prosecuted. The sooner the GOP cleans out the MAGAs and dumps Donald, the better for America. No election denier should be allowed to run for the Speaker position. Republicans have been allowed to blatantly disregard their oath of office for far too long. They obviously don't take the oath to the Constitution seriously. Trump treated the Constitution like a used piece of toilet paper and his seditious GOP sitting in the House and the Senate followed his lead and silently allowed him and the seditious members to disregard everything America stood for. They need to be voted OUT!!
Is it not obvious that Trump is instituting all this trouble. Trump wants the government to shut down, to stop social security, this is what he wants and is trying to wreck havoc from the back seat??????????????? Get it??????????Trump dosent want the republicans to work with democrats. And Trump didn't want McCarthy, you see, and look what happened. Unfortunately there is poison with Trump involved. Understand??? Get it?????
We don’t need a temporary anything. They need to do their jobs.
There are only 83 Republicans in the House who backed our Democracy, Constitution and Country on Jan 6th. 147 republicans in the House refused to honor their oaths to our Country and ignored us American voters. Worthless, anti-American and anti-Democracy politician should not be a Speaker. They should resign, return the taxpayers’ money and get off the American Voters’ payroll
THESE PEOPLE PRETENDING TO BE CONGRESS ARE IMPOSTEROUS ALL ORCHESTRATING A MILITARY REGIME TAKEOVER. MY GUESS IS PETREAS THE FORMER GENERAL BUT THAT DOESN'T MUCH USE GENERAL WITH HIS NAME.
Selfish politicians in the House GOP. They are not there to serve the American people.
Republicans can't even run a popularity contest. A democrat has won the last three times.
Republicans are drawing this out so the government shuts down which will decimate millions of average Citizens and our Service Men and Women.
No aid for anything except the southern border!
I wish some of these reporters would ask these Republicans house members if they would ever vote for Democratic speaker…. Then maybe the light might click on that if they keep trying to blowup the Federal government. As well as blaming Democrats for all the ill's of the world. They might see why the Democrats are letting them make fools of themselves.
I think at some point here the Democrats need to pick a moderate and just get this done.
There is a good number of reasons to do that and I don't have the time, or and patience to lay that all out. 😁
😂🎉😅
Thing is, a government shutdown is exactly what Republicans want. Hence, no urgency…until the shutdown has gone on for up to two months.
The wishes of the 8 Patriots needs to be respected if we truly want a new speaker.
Republicans are clowns!!
Where are they coming up with these people? I recognize the black guy who was caught by AOC falsifying evidence That's about it He'd make a great Republican nominee for the speakership..,😂
No one is watching 😮
He's wrong Democrats are not that crazy about funding for Israel. Biden better remember we don't like indiscriminate killing of Palestinians
NBC news you seem to follow the NYTs lead, whats your take on the NYTs now walking back on a their false report about the hospital bombing on Gaza? Simliar report from your affiliate msnbc. Most non partisan news outlets are reporting on this sickening NYTs report, are you allowed to report on this?
He's wrong Democrats are not that crazy about funding for Israel. Biden better remember we don't like indiscriminate killing of Palestinians
Trump2020: I lost the presidency
Trump2021: I lost the senate
Trump2022: I lost the Red Wave
Trump2023: I lost the speakership
Trump2024: see 2020 again
FREE PALESTINE
Of course they're not going to get elected. It's NOT what they're up to. It's ALL about throwing Monkey Wrenches into the works.They have NINE pigs wearing lipstick ready to parade in the pageant. They're yankin' it. THEY DON'T SHOW UP TO DO WORK.They show up to play with each other… If you can still vote for these losers, get checked for parasites. Especially the ones that invade the brain. 💎💎BE %100 AMERICAN! GET REAL. BE REAL. VOTE BLUE! 💎💎
Kevin McCarthy is positioning to become the compromise candidate!!! He has become the master of managing chaos, according to his thinking????
There is only one way out of this mess. The GOP must elect a Speaker of the House who best embodies the party's values. Three names immediately come to mind: George Santos, Anthony Devolder, and Kitara Rivache.
I want Trump as speaker.. mainly because I’m slow and he speaks at a 4th grade level.
This sure looks like a deliberate attempt to paralyze the entire government…shouldn't there be some sort of fail-safe mechanism in our Constitution for this kind of situation?
