  Dems should just tailgate hard until this is over with. I'd bring a grill, some brats, a barrel ir two and just savor the whole experience.
context: The "jeers" were partially just asking them to take her words off record for being unprofessional and outside of regular decorum. But there are no established rules right now because they dont have a speaker. >
  
  It was weird watching live. They are in total disarray and can't pick a leader. And this clown comes out and gives a 15 min speech attacking democrats and acting like an asshole. >
  
  Yeah. She seems pretty vile >
  
  Claims Democrats just want to divide the house and then claims the Democrats are drinking alcohol on the floor.
  Claims the House is not in order after making a comment that she knew would be out of decorum and elicit this type of response.
  What a loser. >
  
  
  claims the Democrats are drinking alcohol on the floor.
  
  So by the laws of conservative projection, the Republicans are definitely drinking alcohol on the floor. >
  
  Yeah, pretty much >
  
  I would be, this is prime drinking game territory >
  
  Everytime someone says mcarthy, take a shot? >
  
  You want Alcohol Poisoning? >
  
  I would if I were Kevin McCarthy... >
  
  Do the people giving speeches for McCarthy know that they are supposed to talk about....McCarthy? >
  
  I mean, they're not even pro-McCarthy speeches. I laughed when that one dude started with, "Why should I vote for Kevin McCarthy?" and then rattled of a bunch of reasons why he shouldn't. >
  
  Are any republicans actually pro McCarthy? >
  
  No, but they have to carry him to term. >
  
  Don't worry, the Republican body has ways of shutting that whole thing down >
  
  I guess we'll find out after five more votes. >
  
  past the sixth vote, it's got rights. >
  
  It's just a clump of votes, it has no rights. >
  
  
  If only!" Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, adding that "If Dems took a shot every time McCarthy lost a Republican, we’d all be unconscious by now." >
  
  AOC is the Queen of clapback. >
  
  And John Fetterman is the King >
  
  Worst case scenario he just pops a GOP head like a grape with those Rock Biter hands. >
  
  They look like big, strong hands. Don’t they? >
  
  I always thought that's what they were. >
  
  Well get your shit sorted so everyone can go home then. >
  
  Only mistake was not bringing popcorn. >
  
  Funny you should say that... >
  
  Ted Lieu is the man! >
  
  That’s the the kind of weak, pointless, poorly timed joke a humorless person makes when they’re ~5 drinks in. >
  
  Lol yeah, and if it's one thing they're good at, it's projecting.  Whoever is doing the pointing is most likely the one doing whatever it is he/she is accusing someone else of doing. >
  
  "They want us divided" says the representative that voted to overthrow the government in 2021. >
  
  I wondered how long until they blamed the dems for this. >
  
  They started out blaming the democrats, this is just more of the goat and pony show trump brought to our systems. >
  
  Newt Gingrich brought this. >
  
  Newt and Pat Robertson. Demonizing instead of just disagreeing. >
  
  
  Rep. Kat Cammack accused her Democratic colleagues of bringing popcorn, blankets, and alcohol to the House floor.
  
  Well, she's right about the popcorn! Ted Lieu tweeted this pic on his way to the House floor ~~this~~yesterday morning. >
  
  Hell, if I was a Democratic representative, I'd be drinking cold sake in a thermos. I might even take a little nap and tell the person next to me to "wake me up" when it's time to vote again. >
  
  Hold on hold on hold on. COLD sake. I didn’t know people actually like not warm sake. >
  
  Let me change your life forever, my friend. Just like fine wine, Ginjo(fine) and Daiginjo(very fine) saké is usually best served chilled. Very good saké tastes like bright melon, citrus zest, and all sorts of lovely fruity aromas and flavors. Even better paired with seafood! >
  
  Stopped at a place in Japan and got their most expensive sake and their house sake. They put the cup in a ashtray looking wooden box, poured the sake in the cup until it overflowed into the box, absolutely beautiful presentation.
  They both tasted like rubbing alcohol to me. >
  
  I haven’t had a sake that doesn’t taste like rubbing alcohol. Other person must’ve been drinking soju or something lol >
  
  Maybe shochu, but soju is pretty much all atrocious. The newer fancy stuff can be alright but the old fashioned Andong soju was so gnarly I immediately puked on a full stomach while stone sober. Truly heinous. 
  Of course I kept the bottle to use as a gag drink with friends. >
  
  Nice joke, considering the ringleader of the 20 "rebels" who are holding up our democracy at the moment is an overgrown frat boy who has multiple DUI's (and who knows how many others he got away with). >
  
  
  Shortly after Gaetz's case was referred to state attorney Steve Meadows, Gaetz's driving license was reinstated. Though Florida law requires a year's suspension when a driver refuses a breathalyzer test, Gaetz's suspension was less than a year long. His refusal also did not lead to a criminal prosecution, during which it could have been used against him. A field officer for the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles declared there was no evidence that Gaetz refused a breathalyzer test, despite the arresting police officer having documented it in an affidavit and the arrest report and Gaetz's own attorney also having documented it. Gaetz's attorney also claimed that an unnamed witness who knew Gaetz "observed no indication of impairment". The charges against Gaetz were dismissed.
  
  Membership has its privileges. >
  
  They bought these people off for a bribe worth a case of beer and a box of popsicles. 
  Maybe that fla. field officer was given an underage bonus to keep quiet. >
  
  Dems are not the ones who need to figure anything out. They’re stuck there because of GOP incompetency. I’d be drinking too >
  
  I don't know about the representatives but I try to take a drink every time it gets to five votes for the MAGAdittohead candidate.
  Just kidding, listening to people say names over and over again just reminds me of the boring books of the Bible. That said, popcorn and beer are almost a necessity when you read about this shit show.
  Elect clowns, expect a circus. I'm just glad that the Democratic party is United even though I recognize that the bargaining on the right is likely to do damage to our legislative ability. >
  
  
  the boring books of the Bible
  you mean like 
  The Serpent of Rehoboam? The Well of Zohassadar? The Bridal Feast of Beth Chadruharazzeb? >
  
  And this dude begat that guy. 
  And that guy begat another guy. 
  And another guy begat this other dude. 
  And this other dude begat that one dude. 
  And that one dude begat many sons and daughters and lived to be a million fucking years old >
  
  Skip a bit, brother. >
  
  But do mention the feasts with fruit bats and breakfast cereals >
  
  "Democrats SLAMMED for watching barn burn." >
  
  Breathalyze her.  Every accusation is a confession >
  
  GOP is the name, projection  is the game >
  
  Gaslight. Obstruct. Project. >
  
  Because gop always accuses others of the things theyre doing
  I now know this woman is a raging booze bag >
  
  After 6 votes for speaker not only has McCarthy - the only GOP member with any chance of winning - not mustered enough votes amongst his party, he is still missing the same number of votes as he was on the first vote. Meanwhile the Dems have all 100% voted for Jefferies all six times. >
  
  Objection! He has LESS votes then the first one >
  
  Fewer >
  
  Minuser >
  
  Un-more than >
  
  Yet the Democrats have a unified vote and the Republicans are in chaos. I think the GOP just wants a drink real bad. >
  
  You know how the conservatives are always railing about early voting and how we need to "make elections one day again."  Well.....electing a speaker used to be one day, too. >
  
  FUCK FOX NEWS
  We need to stop rewarding fox news for clickbait headlines.  They still hate democracy, and you if you don't vote republican. >
  
  This is Reddit. Most of the people don’t open the article anyway. >
  
  This is why I always bring a Rum Ham. >
  
  God dammit! Eating our drinks?! You are a genius!! >
  
  They didn't have a problem with confederate flags at The Capitol but they have a problem with Dems drinking booze in the House? >
  
  Well considering every accusation is a confession with these people, someone needs to take her car keys from her >
  
  You know her car floor is just littered with empty tia mari and blackberry brandy nips. Lol >
  
  White Claw cans >
  
  I mean they need something to wash down the popcorn! >
  
  I wanted a drink after listening to her. >
  
  Dems didn't nominate kegger Kavanaugh! >
  
  It has been said that our party appears to be drinking, but I say that your party appears to be drunk >
  
  She got the Fox News spot for it so it was worth it.
  Because that's all that matters to these people, even the so called serious Republicans. >
  
  Hey, look at the car crash! >
  
  oh, folks are looking at a car crash all right. >
  
  That was a completely ridiculous accusation >
  
  It fit along with her statement that fentanyl was killing people because of Biden’s open border policies. >
  
  Hey at least they are drinking there instead of doing it while driving around with a 17 year old… coughMatt Gaetzcough >
  
  Congress should try mandatory drinking for a little. Let's just see what happens >
  
  Parliment is Congresss with a two drink minimum >
  
  Just the House of Commons. The House of Lords only allows sherry and, on special occasions, a gin and tonic. >
  
  Well that’s some pathetic projection. Good job fox. Talk about anything except your failing speaker >
  
  To be fair, I bring out the cocktails, too, while watching a good drama slap fest. >
  
  AOC was a bartender right? If I was there I'd be hitting her up for advice about which spirits pair well with schadenfreude. >
  
  And the fact that I'm cheering them on horrifies me. >
  
  Everyone was expecting a shitshow when Republicans took over and that'll probably be true no matter who comes up on top. It's just nice that Republicans, for once, get to experience the same grandstanding assholery that grinds government to a halt every time the Democrats were in charge for the past decade or so.
  Bet Kevin is wishing that he had worked with the Jan 6 Commission and gotten a few unnamed colleagues thrown out of Congress. >
  
  But they don't want the government to work. This is proof of the GOP's foundational statement, "Government doesn't work, elect us and we'll prove it."
  Nothing will change until we start enforcing basic education standards in the south (and Indiana). >
  
  
  basic education in the south (and Indiana)
  
  Why did you say “the south” twice? >
  
  Just trying to respect that Mason-Dixon divide. >
  
  I spent 14 years of my life in South Dearborn County, IN. I assure you, The Mason-Dixon Line is very much a state of mind in a lot of those Towns-That-Progress-Forgot. >
  
  Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., quipped on Twitter that she wished she could be drinking. "If only!" Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, adding that "If Dems took a shot every time McCarthy lost a Republican, we’d all be unconscious by now." >
  
  Their Republicans are childish. >
  
  From the party that defied the last Speaker and insisted on their right to bring firearms into the chamber. >
  
  A mental disorder that affects a significant portion of our country and poses a threat to both our personal and national security has crippled the United States House of Representatives. No one is talking about it. >
  
  Guns are ok in the chamber but not booze? These turds. >
  
  Best Part is they totally can because there's no rules in place for the House. >
  
  “I’ll start by blaming the Democrats for wanting to see us divided…..THEY wanted this to happen…..And NOW they’re being unreasonably disrespectful to me for blaming them during this institutional procedure…..” .  
  This stuff is hilarious and horrifying. I’m intrigued watching it from Australia (sometimes referred to as Austria)- juxtapose this with what happened almost to the day 2 years ago when a lot more than popcorn and blankets were bought into the capital building during a routine procedure, by a Republican mob, and then she proceeded to vote for the insurrectionists, against the people’s vote.
  This video is like watching a sledger get outraged when they get sledged back. A footballer collapsing on the ground holding their leg after kicking the other player. 
  American politics has become a spectator sport. >
  
  Unlike storming the capital to kill congresspeople, drinking booze ain't illegal even if they were >
  
  This coming from the party that brought treason to the house floor. >
  
  If there's anything the GOP is really good at being transparent about -and pretending otherwise-, it's projection. 
  I'm willing to bet on one of the things tucked away in her purse* while she was up there, wagging her fingers. >
  
  The whole time she was speaking I kept asking, ”Is that what she thinks smiling is supposed to look like?” It seemed like it was a foreign concept and very uncomfortable for her. >
  
  Many Republican politicians have a primary residence in the Uncanny Valley. >
  
  AOC as fierce as ever - “If Dems took a shot every time McCarthy lost a Republican, we’d all be unconscious by now." >
  
  So the Republican Party can't get their shit together because it's made up of freaks, cowards, and losers, and somehow the Democrats are the bad ones? Modern Repubs really are a bunch of whiny crybabies. >
  
  Foxnews is not a reliable news source. Their own tv personalities have said in court that no reasonable person would believe what they do is news. >
  
  About the only thing the GOP are capable of doing anymore is attacking other people while they fail. 
  I’ve never seen a more useless collection of immature, vindictive, and incompetent people in my entire life. >
  
  LMAO at AOC basically tweeting "I wish we had booze" in response >
  
  Everything is a joke to these fuckups. >
  
  but they're never funny >
  
  It is ALWAYS projection with the GOP.  This is the same lady that wanted to go on a hunger strike. >
  
  What snowflakes. GOP, fuck your feelings. >
  
  Republicans ladies and gentlemen, the nobody wants to work anymore party 🥴. >
  
  What really got me about that witch Cammack is that she impatiently told the Clerk of the House, “The House is in disorder,” to get her to gavel the session. And she used the same tone of voice she no doubt uses when demanding a manager do something about a waiter who served her steak medium instead of well done. >
  
  Boebert for speaker! Go scorched earth and let the GOP burn. Arguably the dumbest person in congress, Boebert will never shut up, she hardly does as it is. Unleash her. The GOP will have to rally behind the abhorrent stuff she says or more likely keep a distance. The infighting will be glorious. Nothing will get done in the House, but at this rate I doubt anything will get done, not anything substantial, and certainly not anything on the Dems agenda. So aside from the title Speaker Boebert and handing her a megaphone of a platform, what’s to lose? /s >
  
  I’ll be honest, I will have more respect for the Democrat who brought popcorn and alcohol to this shit show. Let’s be real. Being forced to sit and watch the GOP throw hissy fits at each other? While you have to sit there and literally do nothing? I would be sitting back drinking and watching YouTube with my headphones on till they stop throwing their tantrum. >
  
  If this allegation were true, it would just make me love the Democrats even more. As long as Republicans can’t get their motor running, a nice cocktail sounds pretty perfect. >
  
  Can you imagine the crack of opening a can right in the middle of a republican speech? I can >
  
  I am sure her home has wine, popcorn and blankets in a moments reach. Don’t throw stones Kat.
