    Aside from the content, I want to take a moment to appreciate how this has such an informative title!:-)

      No doubt. Succinct and accurate with little flair.

          Here, I’ll fix it:

          Oh no! Jim Jordan loses the Speaker vote for a third time! You won’t believe how many hold outs there were!

            Sums up internet articles in 2023, 95% of which could be less than a paragraph, but need to fluff it up to 6 pages to inlay some ads and get those juicy organic clicks

            Tune in at 11 to find out how! … to access our video on the subject, which points to another webpage, which again links to a video, that again goes to a different story, hey this all seems familiar somehow…? :-P

            It’s our own damn fault I suppose, for engaging with it and thus not just allowing but outright making/encouraging it to happen.:-(

            Not that that excuses them for doing it though:-(.

    The idea of Jordan being speaker was one of the stupidest and most offensive ideas they’ve come up with recently, so it’s nice that it isn’t working out.

    I read somewhere that a group of 55 republicans who plan to make sure he gets less votes every round. To rub in how much they don’t want him.

    They’re doing it on purpose. There was a report a few days ago that outlined a plan to do exactly this. It will continue to get worse for him.

      What I don’t get is if we know about this plan, surely gymbo must know as well. So why not just call it quits? Does he like to be humiliated? Is this some sort of fetish for him?

        Having just sat through a week of committee meetings where all the parties knew a tender was going to fail, yet we all continued with the meeting like everything wasn’t already decided… humans are a silly species.

    Those numbers are going in the wrong direction, guy. I think you should bow out. But I hope you’re dumb enough to keep going.

    Repubs are the greatest impediment to progress. Dems are the second greatest.

      Then again, maybe if he keeps going he will unite everyone behind the banner of “Not Gym Jordan,” which is a great service he’s able to provide us.

      What progress would be happening if they did name a speaker?

    If this was ‘House of Cards’

    Dems would offer Blue state GOPs who voted for Jeffries easy wins in November. The ten or so voted he’d need would be offset by loses in other states.

      I don’t know if that’s a good idea honestly. First, they’d be giving up winnable seats in the future. Second, it’d be Democrats in charge of a republican controlled house. Sure, they could put up things they want for a vote, but stupid people would now think they’re responsible for the nothing that gets done. Letting Republicans tear each other apart is probably better politically without major concessions.

        True story. After the 2016 election, there was a panel discussion with the creators of House of Cards, Scandal, The West Wing, and all the other US political TV shows. All the participants said the same thing; if they’d had a character denigrate American POWs the way Trump did in real life, the networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be treated like a pariah on the show. We’re already beyond anything fictional TV could allow.
