Civil War Within The GOP

Getting rid of McCarthy was great cos it was so entertaining getting him in in the first place.

Republicans cannot govern.

Can we talk about how by shutting down the House like this, and in effect, all of Congress, Republicans have taken away our representation in the federal government? They have disenfranchised every single one of us.

They've just shown that for a 3rd time this morning, Jim Jordan lost another bid for speaker, losing 25 Republicans this time and surpassing his previous losses of 20 and then 22.

If he runs again, he'll lose by even more. What a clownish loser party. Legit dangerous.

Wait, so...he lost 2 votes, bolsters and says I'm gonna go talk to the people that didn't vote for me... And then instead lost 3 more votes? He's such a natural leader and should totally be speaker. When is he going to start doing the Trump-style hand-talking that Desantis mimicked?

20 Republicans voted against him in round 1

22 Republicans voted against him in round 2

25 Republicans voted against him in round 3

If he tries for a 4th time, he'll probably lose by more then 25. As you said, "natural leader" material.

It's quite hilarious to see happen.

I have a theory that Robtard is 5'5 tall. I don't know why, he just comes across that way to me. srug

5'9" according to my doctor's visits

I used to be 187.2 cm. I have shrunk and am now 185.8... age is a shit.

The super genericly named Mike Johnson is a fu#king theocratic Right-wing extremist. Hopefully this causes Republicans to suffer big time in elections next year.

He's a Christian Extremist who takes his own interpretations of the bible at a literal level. eg He and his wife think homosexuality is the same as incest and bestiality.

One thing we've seen over and over about Christian extremist, if you make it your job to hate and shit on gay people, there's a 99.999~% change you're a self-loathing closeted Rightwing homosexual.

I hope one his his secret boytoys comes out with the text, pics etc to expose him.

It's not always the case that they're hiding something. But we can hope that he is.

So apparently this Mike Johnson is super shady. Fucker doesn't have a bank account despite making $200,000/year and his supposedly black son seems to be non existent.

Wtf is going on with these fucking Republicans?

Maybe he just has a tiny penis and his wife is a miserable *****, but both know they couldn't do any better so try to distract their short comings by hating on a different group that may or may not be happier than them.

Russian's already paid for his 2016 campaign through a Texas company, they've probably been paying for him ever since. So it's to better hide all that money being funneled to him from Russian interests.

The Black son thing is odd. Cool if he adopted a teenager, but there's no record of the adoption process happening on file and then *poof*, the guy disappears

Donald Trump is taking a victory lap in the wake of Saturday's vote for Republican Party of Florida Chair.

"We won a big Chairmanship in Florida over the DeSantis Reps, but actually, it's a win for ALL. That's the way we want it. Christian will be a great Chairman!"

Christian Ziegler, a close ally of Donald Trump, faced and defeated Leon County GOP Chair Evan Power, a Ron DeSantis ally, prevailing in a vote of 126–100 at the annual meeting held in Orlando.

If DeSantis thinks he can beat Trump, he has another thing coming. He does not even have majority support of his own party in his own state.

Christian Ziegler, Florida's GOP chairman and husband of Sarasota County School Board member and Moms of Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, is under criminal investigation after a woman filed a complaint with the Sarasota Police Department accusing the longtime Republican official of raping her, according to a heavily-redacted police report.

The complaint was filed on October 4th, and the sexual battery occurred inside the woman's home in Sarasota, according to the report. Among the few words that went unredacted in the report are "rape" and "sexual battery."

The woman, according to sources close to the investigation, stated that she and both Zieglers had been involved in a longstanding consensual three-way sexual relationship prior to the incident. The incident under investigation by Sarasota police occurred when Christian Ziegler and the woman were alone at the woman's house, without Bridget Ziegler present, the sources conveyed.

Multiple GOP sources with knowledge of the investigation confirmed the sexual battery investigation, and said the probe also involves allegations of illegally taping sex acts.

The allegations are sure to reverberate across Florida's political landscape, throwing the Florida GOP into turmoil at a time when the party is gearing up for the 2024 election.

Sexual predator praising another sexual predator.

Surely there are enough reasonable Republicans in Congress to get 3 out 4 votes for a Ukraine bill? The real problem is that the speaker of the house can block any bill from even being voted on. That rule needs to change.
