Jim Jordan fails again to win speaker gavel in second vote, getting less support than first try
The latest news and updates on the House speaker race as Jim Jordan continues trying to secure the votes. Democrats have nominated Hakeem Jeffries.
You're viewing a single thread.
I think the democrats should nominate Trump, so the house GOP can tear itself apart deciding whether to vote for or against him.
Or offer to vote in a compromise candidate, then immediately file a motion to vacate the second he's been elected, and have the GOP vote against their candidate again.
this shit ain't a game mate.
But maybe it is to silly people
Correct. It's a farce.
Yeah, but what do you think happens if Trump gets nominated? It only takes 5 people to join the Dems to have actually got Trump as speaker, mind you.
Then we'd be back to a world beyond satire, if we ever fully left it.
I find it's important to have a sense of humor about these kinds of things. Stuff like resurgent fascism, a looming climate crisis, worsening inequality, or the increasing likelihood of nuclear war are a bit too much otherwise.
