    an Election Denier and an Extreme Christian Fundamentalist.

    Wow, that’s like their entire base, all wrapped up in one person.

      What a coincidence!

      They were refusing to vote for Jim Jordan because he is an election denier and they ended up voting in an election denier with all the fascist trimmings!

      Sounds like a pretty solid pick for the speaker when you put it that way. It’s exactly what the Republican party embodies now.

      Well, it’s starting to look that way. They’ve reached the point of trying to overthrow our democratic institutions. The only thing left for them to do is openly advocate for the execution of political rivals.

      The ® is a hint. No one sincerely concerned with the wellbeing of the nation would be willing to have that next to their name in this day and age.

      Totally accurate. He has murdered Jews by the millions and invaded other nations without cause.

            What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I’ve ever heard. At no point in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having to read it.

        I mean, America has litteraly killed millions of Muslims in the middle east and invaded Iraq without any actual evidence of WMD’s.

        Say what you will, but American politicans of various leanings have more or less supported mass slaughter of civilians because their brown and they won’t face any serious consequences for those actions.

        People get butthurt about the constant use of the word " Nazi " but replace the word " Jew " with " Muslims " in the current American media sphere and you can see how the similarity between those advocating for the " final solution " don’t sound all that diffrent then this lot really.

      GOP “moderates” caved again. They never fail to fall in line, eventually. They were desperate to end the embarrassing failed speaker votes, easily worn down and “fooled” (gasp!) by an unknown candidate. Only the people who voted these clowns into the House are more disappointing.

    I’m calling it, next election if Biden wins he’ll actually try to stop the vote from going through. He can’t actually stop it, but he’ll 100% make some sort of speech about how the country is ruined.

    Even McCarthy voted for him because this was the plan all along. I guess 1930s Germany is too far in the past to remember.
