House Speaker to be elected today, pray for Donalds, Palmer, or Johnson (leader, elections)

I doubt a Speaker will be elected today and that is fine with me.

All the Freedom Caucus is trying to do is return to pre-covid level spending.

Covid was a pandemic that called for extreme spending measures (some say)...like wartime spending.

It was not meant to be the new normal, which has become the case.

Don't cave Conservatives...make the big spenders stop....save America.

If its not Johnson, or another Freedom Caucus member, I agree....I'm fine with never seating a Speaker unless its a Conservative that will reverse spending...burn it all down now...what comes later is worse...anarchy & financial collapse.

He might not have to agree publicly. Dems have leverage because the Crazy 8s will not hesitate to exercise the motion to vacate. It may become a weekly thing.

I like him too. He is very well spoken and an outsider, which means he has not been corrupted yet, and he speaks his own mind. But the masses want an establishment clone who is a uni-party Washington establishment toady who will gleefully run up our debt and side with the warmongers from both sides of the isle.

Pass on Emmer. Just another election denier.
