I don't know how else to explain this simple math yet everyone here is blaming the Republican party when it was ALL of the Democrat votes that made this happen. This is clearly the fault of the Democrats who sided with someone like Matt Gaetz, whom you all mock, yet your party sided with him. If Democrats didn't want chaos, they wouldn't have sided with 8 Republicans. The math or common sense couldn't be any clearer.
This message board is nothing but an echo chamber for the left.
It is maga that took 15 tries to elect a speaker in January...ensuring him to be the weakest speaker in history as he had to concede everything to get the job, including a rule where only ONE member of congress could call a vote to vacate his speakership.
Shockingly the same maga Republican who demanded that rule is the one who invoked it, which has lead us to the current chaos you are blaming on.....the Democrats somehow. lol.
Why in the fucking world do you think Democrats would even consider voting for a maga Republican for speaker? In what universe would that make sense? Beyond foolish thinking here.
Maga created this mess. It is not the Democrats responsibility to bail them out of political jail. They own it. It is fun watching magas twist and turn themselves into pretzels with these excuses though.
In asking Democrats to support their opponents to elect a House Speaker, do you admit this is literally the most pathetic excuse of governance that the Republican party has ever presented, and a consequence of its own selfishness, incompetence, and inability to lead? Do you admit your side is struggling to decide who gets the keys to the clown car?
They voted political arsonists into office and are now crying that the other side is letting them burn it down.
Pathetic is right.
The cult has a firm grasp.

Republicans called for a vote to oust a speaker. That speaker broke deals with the democrats talked trash on national TV and press about them, couldn't keep his own party in line and was ineffective at his job and was proven untrustworthy. Of course they would vote to remove him. That isn't siding with MAGA, far from it. Taking a stand to try to reach a middle ground is more like it. But the GOP doesn't seem to want to meet in the middle anymore, more or less they want to yank things to the right and call it winning even though a majority of citizens don't share the views that the elected Rs are pushing for. I disagree with your belief that leaving an untrustworthy backstabbing finger pointer at the helm of the house would have been better for the country.JB16057 said:
I blame both Rs and Ds but it wouldn't be fair to not admit that all D's sided with the extreme MAGA and here we now are.static111 said:
You are expecting the Dems to save a back stabber that has proved he can't be trusted and will waffle to the extreme of his party? Imagine if this was reversed, the Rs would have a field day and not one would vote for a Dem speaker. I don't like either of the parties, but blaming Dems for a situation that was created by republicans and their very specific rules change to appease the far right of their party is absurd. Perhaps if the Republicans nominated a centrist capable of actually making deals rather than advancing extreme right wing ideology the dems would step up to the plate with support. Based on today's GOP that is just not likely to happen. I'm not sure where you get your talking points from but as an outside observer it is pretty clear that the republicans held a cherry bomb with a closed fist, lit it and let it blow up and are trying to blame democrats for letting them have matches.JB16057 said:

It is maga that took 15 tries to elect a speaker in January...ensuring him to be the weakest speaker in history as he had to concede everything to get the job, including a rule where only ONE member of congress could call a vote to vacate his speakership.
Shockingly the same maga Republican who demanded that rule is the one who invoked it, which has lead us to the current chaos you are blaming on.....the Democrats somehow. lol.
Why in the fucking world do you think Democrats would even consider voting for a maga Republican for speaker? In what universe would that make sense? Beyond foolish thinking here.
Maga created this mess. It is not the Democrats responsibility to bail them out of political jail. They own it. It is fun watching magas twist and turn themselves into pretzels with these excuses though.
In asking Democrats to support their opponents to elect a House Speaker, do you admit this is literally the most pathetic excuse of governance that the Republican party has ever presented, and a consequence of its own selfishness, incompetence, and inability to lead? Do you admit your side is struggling to decide who gets the keys to the clown car?
They voted political arsonists into office and are now crying that the other side is letting them burn it down.
Pathetic is right.

His points are reasonable, rational, and 100% accurate.JB16057 said:
You make some good points and I appreciate you being fair and nice.static111 said:
Republicans called for a vote to oust a speaker. That speaker broke deals with the democrats talked trash on national TV and press about them, couldn't keep his own party in line and was ineffective at his job and was proven untrustworthy. Of course they would vote to remove him. That isn't siding with MAGA, far from it. Taking a stand to try to reach a middle ground is more like it. But the GOP doesn't seem to want to meet in the middle anymore, more or less they want to yank things to the right and call it winning even though a majority of citizens don't share the views that the elected Rs are pushing for. I disagree with your belief that leaving an untrustworthy backstabbing finger pointer at the helm of the house would have been better for the country.JB16057 said:
I blame both Rs and Ds but it wouldn't be fair to not admit that all D's sided with the extreme MAGA and here we now are.static111 said:
You are expecting the Dems to save a back stabber that has proved he can't be trusted and will waffle to the extreme of his party? Imagine if this was reversed, the Rs would have a field day and not one would vote for a Dem speaker. I don't like either of the parties, but blaming Dems for a situation that was created by republicans and their very specific rules change to appease the far right of their party is absurd. Perhaps if the Republicans nominated a centrist capable of actually making deals rather than advancing extreme right wing ideology the dems would step up to the plate with support. Based on today's GOP that is just not likely to happen. I'm not sure where you get your talking points from but as an outside observer it is pretty clear that the republicans held a cherry bomb with a closed fist, lit it and let it blow up and are trying to blame democrats for letting them have matches.JB16057 said:

All the dems’ fault:
There’s little expectation that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) can be elected speaker on a third ballot, so the big question if he seeks one is whether he wins more or fewer votes than he did on Wednesday — and, if it’s fewer, how many Republicans who supported him in the first two rounds drop off.
One notable Republican who won’t be backing Jordan: Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), a moderate and the co-chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, one of House Republicans’ “five families.” Fitzpatrick voted for Jordan in both of the first two rounds even as several other moderates refused to do so, but he said Thursday afternoon that he’d switched his allegiance to Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick T. McHenry (R-N.C.) after Jordan backed a plan to empower McHenry temporarily.
“I’d be voting for McHenry today,” Fitzpatrick told reporters. “And if it comes to a vote, that’s who I’m backing.”

It’s all the dems’ fault Gym can’t lead and is known as a “legislative terrorist’ among his own. Bahahahahahahaha! Ol Rushbo is spinning in his grave! Double Bahahahahahahaha! And blaming dems from his perch in hell.
There are few things Congress loves more than a short-term solution to a long-term problem — something to help it forestall difficult decisions and paper over divisions in hopes that, at some later date, these problems will magically disappear.
House Republicans can’t even agree upon trying that right now.
Thursday brought one of the most embarrassing episodes yet in the GOP’s arduous 16-day quest to find someone — anyone — who can get the votes to be House speaker. With the realization that that might not be possible at this juncture apparently setting in, Republicans set about forging a temporary fix that seemed potentially agreeable to much of the House: giving acting speaker pro tempore Patrick T. McHenry (R-N.C.) more power to conduct vital business while everyone figured out a longer-term solution.
GOP speaker-nominee Jim Jordan even endorsed the plan, apparently believing that time could heal the wounds suffered by his sputtering speaker bid and give him another shot later on.
Then the party summarily rejected Jordan’s leadership — again.
Jordan announced Thursday afternoon that the plan was no longer in the works.
“We made the pitch to members on the resolution, as a way to lower the temperature and get back to work,” Jordan said. “We decided that wasn’t where we’re going to go.”

McCarthy broke his promise to Biden on the deal they cut. Why would the D's support him? McCarthy also blamed the D's for the clean bill that passed the House. You expect the GOP to hold McCarthy accountable, but not the D's? This can't be your argument.JB16057 said:

100% of Democrats voted to kick McCarthy out. 4% of Republicans voted to kick him out.
I don't know how else to explain this simple math yet everyone here is blaming the Republican party when it was ALL of the Democrat votes that made this happen. This is clearly the fault of the Democrats who sided with someone like Matt Gaetz, whom you all mock, yet your party sided with him. If Democrats didn't want chaos, they wouldn't have sided with 8 Republicans. The math or common sense couldn't be any clearer.
This message board is nothing but an echo chamber for the left.
It is maga that took 15 tries to elect a speaker in January...ensuring him to be the weakest speaker in history as he had to concede everything to get the job, including a rule where only ONE member of congress could call a vote to vacate his speakership.
Shockingly the same maga Republican who demanded that rule is the one who invoked it, which has lead us to the current chaos you are blaming on.....the Democrats somehow. lol.
Why in the fucking world do you think Democrats would even consider voting for a maga Republican for speaker? In what universe would that make sense? Beyond foolish thinking here.
Maga created this mess. It is not the Democrats responsibility to bail them out of political jail. They own it. It is fun watching magas twist and turn themselves into pretzels with these excuses though.0 -

Despite other peoples beliefs around here talking down to people and brow beating them has never changed a single mind. Unfortunately I have been just as guilty of it as others in the past and am only recently trying to work on it. Don't worry all I have to do is say I think Hillary was a terrible candidate and Russia had nothing to do with her not being elected and I will be way more unpopular than you are currently.JB16057 said:
You make some good points and I appreciate you being fair and nice.static111 said:
Republicans called for a vote to oust a speaker. That speaker broke deals with the democrats talked trash on national TV and press about them, couldn't keep his own party in line and was ineffective at his job and was proven untrustworthy. Of course they would vote to remove him. That isn't siding with MAGA, far from it. Taking a stand to try to reach a middle ground is more like it. But the GOP doesn't seem to want to meet in the middle anymore, more or less they want to yank things to the right and call it winning even though a majority of citizens don't share the views that the elected Rs are pushing for. I disagree with your belief that leaving an untrustworthy backstabbing finger pointer at the helm of the house would have been better for the country.JB16057 said:
I blame both Rs and Ds but it wouldn't be fair to not admit that all D's sided with the extreme MAGA and here we now are.static111 said:
You are expecting the Dems to save a back stabber that has proved he can't be trusted and will waffle to the extreme of his party? Imagine if this was reversed, the Rs would have a field day and not one would vote for a Dem speaker. I don't like either of the parties, but blaming Dems for a situation that was created by republicans and their very specific rules change to appease the far right of their party is absurd. Perhaps if the Republicans nominated a centrist capable of actually making deals rather than advancing extreme right wing ideology the dems would step up to the plate with support. Based on today's GOP that is just not likely to happen. I'm not sure where you get your talking points from but as an outside observer it is pretty clear that the republicans held a cherry bomb with a closed fist, lit it and let it blow up and are trying to blame democrats for letting them have matches.JB16057 said:
