So how many votes are we bidding on to make this happen? One? Five? Fifteen?
No kidding? Wow, I honestly did not expect it. I suppose this will be a very interesting week, especially when it comes to the rule change portion. This is so interesting.
Steve Scalise voted to overturn the 2020 election.
Well in a closed door with a simple majority. This is NOT a full house vote
Ah, Walmart brand David Duke.
neat.
They had over 200 people to pick from, (more technically) and that’s what they’re going with.
So, just so we’re 100% clear…the Republican choice for Speaker is a man who actually said “I’m David Duke without the baggage”.
It’s officially The American Republican Racist Party, ladies and gentlemen
If Steve Scalise becomes speaker, it’ll be a real home run for him and the rest of the GOP.
GOP knows how fucked the last round was. They’ll wait until things go as planned before bringing it to the floor. Gaetz is struggling and knows he’s fucked if he doesn’t play ball this time. He will drag the others along. Scalise wins. GOP still far right fascist loonies.
Trump loses again….
If the crazies are supporting this, we should be even more worried about Scalise’s corruption that we previously were. He is also a Seditious Conspirator, like Gym Jordan.
He’s going to be worse than McCarthy.
The guy who once described himself as “David Duke without the baggage”
It’s not like there is a single moderate Republican in the house anyway. This was always going to be a shitshow outcome.
What a joke. Good luck, bud.
Unfortunately the people he hates and actively works to take away rights from, saved his life when he was shot in 2017 at the GOP softball practice.
David Duke wasn’t available, I presume.
This is hell
“Steve Scalise just spoke but took no questions and didn’t address whether he had the votes ton the House floor to win the speakership. He laid out the priorities for his party — passing spending bills and securing the border — and said the conflict in Israel illustrated the need for border security.” Okay so the new stance of the gop is that the mexico border is the same as Gaza. Good luck with that.
Well at least he’s not in Russia’s pocket, so we can expect less fights over Ukraine. Can’t expect much from GOP, at best it’s evil domestic policy and reasonable foreign policy.
David Duke “without the baggage.”
He doesn’t even have the guaranteed votes on the floor, none of them do.
a very bad man
“I’m David Duke without the baggage.”
The republican party fails to surprise me yet again.
How many mooch’s will he last?
He looks like a character from the 90’s show, Dinosaurs.
>House Majority Leader Steve Scalise has won the GOP’s nod to become the next speaker, completing a decade-long climb up the ranks of Republican leadership.
>
>But it remains unclear whether he can muster the votes needed to win the speakership on the floor, given the Republicans’ tiny margin of control and the deep rifts in the GOP conference.
Well, I guess that’s something.
Half expected the Republican conference to nominate Putin as their next Speaker given how much the Republicans admire and kowtow – as much, if not more – to Putin’s wishes, and agenda as they do to their own Putin-loving, aspiring dictator, Trump.
He still hasnt won yet , though right? Just got majority of unofficial vote in GOP conference?
Scary, he would be 2nd in line to succeed the president. Almost as scary as the prospect of Trump winning the presidency again
Didn’t this guy declare himself “David Duke but without the baggage”?
So the kinder gentler racist asshole.
The choices are great. A self described White nationalist, who and I will quote” I am David Duke without the baggage”, or a failed wrestling coach who oversaw the sexual abuse of his athletes.
Add that to the rapist, racist, and fraudster ring leader and we get MAGA.
So Trump’s nominee for House Speaker loses, even in an election where the only voters are Trump sycophants in Trump’s party, and the opponent once described himself as “David Duke, but without the baggage.”?
Sweet.
When did he – or someone endorsed by him – last win an election?
It’s official; racism is now the official platform of the Republican “party”
Yikes.
He seems like the perfect choice for republicans. He’s a part of the old guard, but he’s also enough of a dick to pass muster with the maga crowd.
So they picked the Klansman over the guy who covered up for pedophiles?
Only the best people…..
I find it disturbing that 99 of them voted for Jordan.
Dems should vote for Kinzinger and see if they can get some Repubs to go along.
So he’s gonna be the next speaker of the republiklans?
This guy went to a David Duke conference 21 years ago when he was in his late 30s. He was, and still is, an enthusiastic racist. This is who the “moderate” wing of the Republican party just voted for.
And the shitshow continues…
I’ve never liked him. He’s a right wing toad and nut bag.
Seems about reich.
Good job, regressives
Just barely better than Jordan, but the bar couldn’t possibly be set any lower. The fact that Trump endorsed Jordan and Jordan won’t get the gavel is at least one small bit of good news. Also, this guy is pro Ukraine
So the Republicans went with “David Duke without the baggage” over the Ohio pedo protector. Tough choice.
The only difference between the MAGA republicans and others is the method not the goals.
