Will be interesting to see if he has the votes. I want a functional government, but I hope he can’t get the votes cause fuck him and his David Duke loving ass.

The House recessed again as Scalise struggled to secure the votes. They are meeting behind closed doors again

(Or a few of you can join us behind Jefferies. We can save everyone's ass.) I’m so tired at going after Fulcher and Simpson (my reps)for this very thing. The dems didn’t do this shit. Y’all go back to your glass house and find a mirror. I got an email from fulcher stating his support for gym sock and almost threw my phone

At no point have any of these Speaker candidates approached Democrats or even tried to work with them on anything. They don't owe the GOP a bail out from their embarrassment.

All it would take is 5 Republicans to vote for Hakeem Jeffries so if they really wanted to get a Speaker in asap, it could be done.

So we're back to square one with the GQP Speaker. I really don't want Jordan to hold the gavel.

According to this article Gym socks is trying to get traction on Scalise’s exorbitant restaurant spending habits. Maybe that was the undoing. www.newsweek.com/steve-scalise-500k-steak-house-speaker-jim-jordan-1834093My fav part of the article: "Of course this new Scalise scandal might not go anywhere, given that the Republican House has too many overlapping and cascading scandals for them all to fit into the news headlines.“

The infighting would be funny if we didn't have a looming government shutdown.

This is what happens when your party nominates people who have no interest in governing

Austin Scott has thrown his hat in the ring for Speaker. And Aaron Rupar's comment has killed me.

This is such a mess. I hear McCarthy is backing Jordan now. It's already been over a week. No business as usual can occur until someone is elected to the position. I'm really worried about their ability to pass any sort of budget or CR next month.
