House Speaker Vote Live 2nd Thread

[DB]

I don't mean to be an bleep but hey, we've been beat over the head with obnoxious hearings for 2 years now, aren't we ready for some or our own?

How about investigating the stuff the media missed about J6? Twitter files? Transgender stuff? Hunter Biden? Epstein? Etc. etc. We have a majority and really not much else to do, so this just seemed completely pointless to me.

When is the last time Republicans investigated something that was clearly a crime and got any actual results? 40 years? They don't have the courage to actually do something about the Transgender stuff. Epstein? Really? Both parties buried that because both parties have major exposures to it. Hunter Biden? Romney and others are deeply involved in the same corruption.

Can someone tell me why it's so horrifying and devastating for Congress to take a few days to debate and negotiate over who should be third in line to the presidency and rule the House?

Aren't debates of this kind called "democracy," as rare as it now is for Congress to do this?

The $1.7b omnibus bill Congress just passed was 4,000 pages. Nobody who voted read it all. This is how it works: Leaders put together huge bills and order members to vote YES.

This is a fundamentally broken and anti-democratic system. Let's have a few days to shine light on it.

   Did Gaetz just vote for McCarthy after saying in his Jim Jordan nomination speech that he would vote for Jordan?

They didn't sell out, they got what they wanted from a deal.

If they got terms they had demanded, then they didn't "sell out" they got what the considered fair consideration for their vote.  That's how voting in a legislative chamber works; horse-trading and sausage-making - not for weak stomaches.

It seems momentum has shifted….looks like the collective IQ of the GOP goes up and the number of morons is down closer to single digits. If sanity reigns this fiasco doesn’t survive the weekend….enough damage has been done to conservatism already by these 22 schmucks.

[corbe]

   Luna just switched to McCarthy.

Before making that strong of a claim, don't you think we need to hear the details of the deal first?

I'm hopeful, but skeptical until.....

Republican members are walking out of the chamber in droves as Gaetz bashes Kevin McCarthy

I'm rather surprised no one was throwing chairs.

The details are in the vote.

McCarthy is such a smug bastard.

For some, even here on this board, it’s not about anything other than personal vendetta. They are blind to the fact of real and meaningful concessions having been made.

Concessions are fine. Just make sure you have it in writing. McCarthy is slimy.

Nancy Pelosi agrees with you.

Which you say as you moralize like you just kicked the Pope out of his office.
