Both boebert and Marjory Greene are nuts.
But i wouldnt mind seeing them in some girl-girl action

You should probably get out more often.

Looks and attraction are obviously subjective, but...really? You think MTG looks good? Blegghhh. She's like a combo of an uglier Minnie Driver and...a horse.

And a bag wouldn't suffice, unless it's soundproof. I can't stand to listen to either of those imbeciles.

Okay so the one isn't awful looking, but MTG? I find it odd that MAGA purports to hate trans people yet supports a rep that looks like a man.

I’m with the Jedi, Margie Green looks decent.

Update on my conservative friends Facebook.
HIS deplorable followers are now citing a news max post where members of Republican caucus are okay if Jeffries as speaker.
The Deplorable’s are having a meltdown.

Maybe they are starting to realize that their party only holds power as obstructionists, and by appointing a Democrat Speaker they could continue their obstructionist ways even though they technically hold a majority in the House. Their supporters don't know how Congress works anyways and will assume that if the House can't get anything done, it's the Speaker of the House's fault and thus pin it on the Democratic party. The minority party.

Who am I kidding. This is probably just all too high level and too chess-like for these folks when they can only comprehend checkers, at best.

The tears from all this is like teahadist bone broth...salty, simmered and delicious.

The discussion in the other topic about lowering the threshold to just a plurality, they apparently actually is some discussion about it on the house floor.

Marjorie Taylor Greene looks more like former defensive end Kevin Greene

so if jeffries did win, what do the dems gain? cause normally the speaker position is held by the majority party and sets the legislative agenda, right?

Signs you probably need to find an AA meeting.

No way. Not with your dick and someone else pushing.

I mean if that is your thing, then I guess.

It doesn't make sense.

Yep, Democrats have no incentive to help Republicans out of their mess. Best to let Republicans flap in the wind generated by their own ineptitude.

If some "moderate" republicans (moderate in quotes because let's face it - there are no true moderate Republicans any more) want to cross the aisle and give Democrats some substantial concessions in order for a speaker to be installed, then the offer could potentially be considered.

I would think Jeffries could offer something along the lines of committee chairmanships to 6 R's willing to vote for him.

Looks to me like McCarthy is going to have to withdraw his name. He is not going to get the votes of the hold out voters in my opinion. My guess from watching the news is Scalize will be up next.

Kevin hands Jeff some papers to read from? some papers that dems have agreed to before hand?

you can't trust a single republican. Any agreement you make with them they will just ignore and do their own thing anyway. Fuck them all to hell. They are abject scum and simply refuse to do things that humans want or need.

Is this the second time you've posted a fake picture of some stripper that you claim is Boebert that is clearly not Boebert? why the fuck do you keep doing this and littering threads with your pervert nonsense?

Repubs: It's all about power
self interest > party > country

Let's see which repubs wants to shave off years of hard political work and be committee chair now

 

[zinfamous]

The problem is that one can't cut a deal with Republicans because they can't be trusted to keep it.

republicans sit one tick below Putin on the trustability scale.

you can trust Putin to do what Putin does, you can predict it, republicans not so much.

 

[MrSquished]

The thing to keep in mind is McCarthy is a really shitty person. That isn't shitty enough for 10% of his colleagues in the house, and others are probably begrudgingly voting for him too.
