  My guy gonna set a record of most L’s
context: Chaotic, selfish and incapable of leadership.....this really sums it up. >
  
  i don't know about incapable. because that implies intention, but failing.
  they don't want to lead. they choose to disrupt, to be chaotic evil, to do whatever they're after (it's honestly indecipherable what these clowns want) but one thing is for sure: they're not there to govern. >
  
  I dunno. I think they started as being unwilling to lead. But after years of eschewing policy making for political theatre, corruption, rewarding the stupidest and most loyal members of the Party and punishing the smartest, they’re largely left with nuts like Greene and Bobert running the show. So now they’re staring off the edge of a historical/demographic cliff, and they’re too dumb or “in deep” to do anything about it. >
  
  How old is this? There’s been more than 11 votes by now. >
  
  It also says 'adjourn till Friday afternoon', which... it's already Friday evening. Definitely seems old. >
  
  And I think they’re not coming back til like 10pm eastern (although I may have my time zones mixed up) 😂 >
  
  Maybe? Not sure, I don't think I've seen anything on when they return, but I haven't seen anything on them doing so yet. Think it's around 9 PM there now though. >
  
  This feels more like r/leopardsatemyface every day it happens. >
  
  Way outdated. 13 failed votes, then adjourned until tonight at 10:00 pm EDT. Vox claims that Gaetz and others say they got what they wanted and think that there'll be a Speaker as of vote 14, but we'll see. >
  
  Makes sense that Matt gaetz would lose interest at 14 >
  
  Fucking brutal. >
  
  McCarthy will trade democracy for the title of speaker, his only fight now is how much power he will wield at the end. >
  
  “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump, swear to God..." >
  
  Funny how quickly these articles are outdated. >
  
  Well, when you're clinging to old axioms and misinterpreted bullshit, you might be susceptible to disingenuous malarkey and continue to believe that Republucans can govern in a civil fashion, regardless of what the clear fucking evidence being drawn before your eyes tells you. >
  
  It’s all in the rules.   The clerk is actually the presiding officer till members-elect elect the speaker and folks get sworn in. >
  
  “Incapable of leadership” is a massive understatement. >
  
  On the money Rep. Jayapal…and this is what is keeping awake at night >
  
  How ‘bout counter productive, self destructive, kamikaze clown show. >
  
  Sure! Just turn on CNN to watch it live. >
  
  “Everyone knows this was all a bunch of Antifa pretending to be Republicans who snuck into Congress to make us look bad!”
  -Republicans in a week, probably >
  
  The obstructionist party of no is obstructing themselves. Seems fitting >
  
  A kindergarten class has their shit together better than republicans do. >
  
  Cons are a lesser McCarthy. >
  
  I almost wish I hadnt tuned in. I got to see mccarthy lose again in real time though, so I got that going for me >
  
  lol, and now it starts again. and they're actually enthusiastic.
  holly fuck these people are weirder than me. >
  
  Yeah, the encores are very out of place >
  
  In short, the perfect representatives for their base. >
  
  Overheard this afternoon:
  "You know: the fact that they can't decide on a Speaker of the House is a good thing.
  Those additional IRS agents can't be installed. 
  Can't send billions of dollars to the Ukraine."
  I may have found one of those folks who believes Drumpf was playing 4D chess.
  Talk about a FauxNews Rationalization >
  
  dems be like people matter, republicans be like property matters >
  
  This it what happens when you vote in radicals not willing to compromise within itself, let alone work across the aisle. America has truly voted in some of the worst of the worst into the GOP and it shows. The dysfunction, the tantrums, the churlish behaviour, it’s a joke. Here’s hoping the republicans split and the country can progressively move forward for all. >
  
  I would like to see Jayapal and the Progressive caucus be a little more "chaotic and selfish". >
  
  Progressive legislation can’t be passed if government is dysfunctional and more focused on power struggles than good policy >
  
  Fourteen!
  We're at fourteen!
  Lmao! >
  
  So sick of commondreams headlines, and by the way, this is really old.. they're going to do the 14th vote in a bit over an hour >
  
  It's almost like they're recycling or headlines, replacing "democrat" with "republican".  At least they're more accurate now, but still too sassy to be taken seriously. >
  
  It’s come down to Gaetz! >
  
  Why is the motion to adjourn split Democrats vs Republicans?  Anyone know what the strategy is? >
  
  A clueless take on what this is about. >
  
  
  incapable of leadership
  
  They’re not incapable, but they are chaotic and selfish. It’s just that they want there to be chaos and disruption, it’s how they thrive, it’s how they gain popularity, by making a huge mess, shoving it on the people, and then blaming the people on the left for it. >
  
  This is why you don’t dance with the devil. The MAGA leadership have now turn inward onto the GOP and have kneecapped them. If I was them I would nuke the minority MAGA and take the lose. There is no winning here even if McCarthy is elected. >
  
  That strangely describes Jayapal herself just as accurately… >
  
  They had the presidency, senate and house when dick stain was President and got zero done. What exactly do people think they’ll get done with one legislative body other than eat each others faces off for the next two years. Get fucked, GOP. >
  
  McCarthy officially applied for name change to Dikk Sukkir.
