The word “chuse” is spelled correctly. It’s just a very old form of choose. Oughta inform thyself prior to critiquing.

Yeah, because I was being entirely serious...

Looks like the 3rd time was the charm (for the American people with Jordan losing again).

 

[Pens1566]

Still never got anything passed on the house floor.

Fucking loser.

Count?

 

[Dave_5k]

103 Jeffries - 98 Jordan - 17 others

Jordan lost 2 more votes vs. yesterday, so far, and we're only up to the "K"'s (alphabetical vote)

Edit: up to 19 republican defectors now (5 was the limit before Jordan lost the vote), expect 24+ Republican votes against Jordan, continuing his backwards trend

 

[K1052]

Maybe Jordan should try more threats and intimidation. Working out well so far for him.

 

[dullard]

The number voting for other candidates is higher again.

• 1st vote: 20
• 2nd vote: 22
• 3rd vote: 24 and counting

 

[eelw]

The change is moving towards pro tempore. Currently 6 votes for him.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Jeffries 210 atm.

 

[Stokely]

Two Democrats were absent today, all those there voted Jeffries.

Popehat (on threads) had a great quote:
"More and more Republicans turning their back on Jim Jordan like he’s a sexually assaulted college student."

Sadly, the rubes that elect people like Gaetz think this is all fine, "drying up the swamp" you betcha.

What a basket of deplorables …

What a basket of deplorables …

That's a giant fucking basket mang.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Aaaand he managed to get fewer votes than round two which was fewer votes than round one.

 

[brycejones]

Faking Democrats making Jordan look bad by not supporting him. It’s so unfair

Good to see they've moved on to the "Well, if their skirts weren't so short" line of reasoning.

Makes perfect sense. It isn't the mafia's fault they are beating you up and destroying your business. It is your fault because you didn't pay them a protection fee.

Threats of violence and intimidation have become the norm of political speech for MAGA. Fascists all the way now. Better start ordering up a bunch of brown shirts.

 

[eelw]

Lol next clown up next week

 

[Pens1566]

Adjourning for the weekend is smart.

Gives Boebert plenty of time to give handys to the entire caucus to win over votes for her bid as speaker.

Jim Jordon no longer running for speaker says MSNBC chyron.
