Lol, what a clown show.

Incompetence is ruling court.

This is the party that wants to present it's case to the people that they should be in charge?

Might as well elect sea mokeys to represent you in Congress.

What the actual eff is going on?
McHenry was their best option but they wanted to neuter him so he said no thanks. It's gonna be months before they hire a speaker. It's gonna take a near mutiny in the party before the make a move. The party is being held hostage by the party. Bozo would be proud.

Conservatives have all the momentum, & they need to keep it going, and not relent.

I prefer Donalds.
WHOOSH...the sound of Emmer flushing $2 Trillion more dollars down the toilet.

Next round of candidates appears to be

Byron Donalds FL-19
Chuck Fleishmann TN-03
Mark Green TN-07
Kevin Hern OK-01
Mike Johnson LA-04
Roger Williams TX-25


Hern, Donalds and Johnson ran the last round with Johnson being the runner up to Emmer in the final round of voting

Well that didn’t last long. Emmer already dropped out. I’m sure he’s already received too many death threats for his liking. When it comes to the speakership, the fascist message is loud and clear: Non riggers need not apply!

It seems like they can’t get 217 for someone Trump likes (Jim Jordan) and they can’t get 217 for someone Trump doesn’t like (Tom Emmer). So where does that leave them?

Everything Trump touches dies…

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) dismissed his colleagues’ criticism that Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) is not conservative enough, saying that was “absurd.”

“He’s a super conservative member,” Diaz-Balart said. “And if that was the case for them, how come he got the votes from this conference just nine months ago to be the whip? A little consistency, frankly, would be helpful these days.”

Extremists? Is an "extremist" one who would be loyal to their oath of office, and reject legislation which does not advance the general welfare of the United States and her citizens? What exactly is an "extremist"? What are the characteristics of an "extremist"?
