It sounds like he's hoping that four times is a charm. Are there any five-leaf clovers?


After 4 leafs, you have to start pulling off arms and legs.

When I started this thread, I never expected the issue to last this long. I underestimated the amount of dumbassery in congress.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Whatever you want to say about Nancy Pelosi, she knew how to keep all the shit in the diaper.

That's...actually fair.

Oh, and if you give anyone any credit for intelligence whatsoever, prior to their actual demonstration of same, you're already likely underestimating their stupidity.

It kind of makes you wonder who the 90 complete and total cowards are, doesn't it?

Evidently, it also makes a few Republicans wonder who the cowards are:

If the GOP eventually admits they need Dem help in electing a speaker, anyone who voted no on the first two bills in the list are DOA.

Makes Emmer look like a moderate. IDK if he is or isn't, but if he is, the far right will never vote for him.

Not sure if you understand….. if the Dems coalesce on ANY Republican candidate that candidate will only need a HANDFUL of Republicans to vote for him/her! They could ignore the far right wackos. I am NOT saying the Democrats are smart enough to realize this….. (And the Dems could block any recall effort if they want to as well).

I hate that I agree with Chris Christie, but he basically said he doesn’t care who is speaker, he just wants one. B

Er… it only takes 5 republicans to vote for Jeffries and this is all over.

Balls in the GOP’s court!
