It’s the GOP billionaire bootlickers effect. They’re so used to being told exactly what to do by fascist money that they have no idea how to think for themselves – or if they’re even allowed to.
Are they just looking for buzzwords in their titles lately?
>“I definitely think this on the verge of really hurting Republicans’ reputation in terms of our ability to run the House of Representatives and to govern,” he said.
for me that ship sailed long long ago
Well, what do you expect when you have been ignoring the multiple obvious warning signs that have been happening for decades? These clusterfucks have had multiple opportunities to have the GOP ship change course, but they have always chosen the worst option. They deserve all the ‘horror’ they are getting.
Look! Over there! As those senators do nothing about their Tuberville problem. The whole GQP congress is a mess, it’s not just the House.
Senator Elitism being “horrified” by what the House rabble are doing is very cliche.
Tuberville is actively damaging national security and Mitch is glitching out on camera, you got Alito and Thomas on the take with a spouse that participated in an insurrection. The problem is the GOP.
GOP Senators: Psh. We don’t need anything like a Speaker, we’ve got a Tuberville.
I honestly wonder how republicans are justifying this in their heads? Or do they finally see the far right holding the country hostage?
The obi-wan “you have done that to yourself” meme is appropriate here.
What happens when you deliberately assemble a coalition of self-interested cynics whose snowflake world views have only hatred for “the other side” is common, and they eventually gain power?
I think we are seeing the answer unfold in front of us. Why this is surprising I don’t understand.
They need to step in and DO SOMETHING about it. Stop talking shit. GOP leaderships needs to step up. If they can’t, then it’s time for GASP, bipartisanship. Unthinkable but for real; these asshats need to get some work done.
We’ve done absolutely nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!
lol “flummoxed”
No Speaker of the House
No Army Chief
No Chief of Naval Ops
No Head of the Air Force
No Commander of the Fifth Fleet
No one in more than 300 military roles
No Ambassador to Israel, Lebanon, Oman or Kuwait
No State Dept Coordinator for Counter-terrorism

Putin could have sent 100 teams of assassins and they couldn’t have accomplished what Republicans have done.
They should be horrified at the rock bottom barrel the GOP party has fallen to. It’s a circus clown show
The longest time without a House Speaker is for 18 days back in 1971. Going for the record people?
The Republicons are the greatest threat to American democracy in modern times.
Ya know its almost as though Putins paying them to destroy the country.
Senators??!! How about the American public? How horrified are we?
A flabergastic bamboozling, if you will.
This may be the beginning of a third party. Hopefully, we can get our country working again when the adults split and join with dems to pass common sense legislation.
Ah is anyone really surprised at the entire elected circus we now have in DC ?
They misspelled “unsurprised”.
Their only hope is a another celebrity to save them
A knock down fight between Kevin Sorbo and Scott Baio for speaker is coming!
I mean, the Senate GOP’s got a whole “Weekend at Bernie’s” thing going, soo….
In 2016, Lindsey Graham wrote, “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it.” I’m really enjoying this season of Republicans: season 3 , even bought some popcorn.
For the past decade at least, and probably longer, Republican behavior in the House and much of the Senate has been purely performative – that is to say doing things that they know are not going to result in passed legislation but simply things to rile up their base and try to paint the Democrats into a corner or damage them politically.
I’m a person with broadly Conservative leanings on a lot of things but whatever the GOP has degenerated into it’s guiding principle now is purely reaction. They have no realistic vision or plan and now have reached the ludicrous position where the blame the Democratic Party for not propping up their own Speaker dumped due to the irresponsibility of their own far right caucus.
Lincoln remarked before the Civil War that the Democratic Party had simply adopted a “rule or ruin” approach to government. That’s where the Republicans are today but it’s a logical progression of their 40+ years campaign to portray government as some kind of “other” or “enemy” of the people.
Well in this nation “We the people” are the government and most faults in government have their origins in efforts to discourage or hamper people’s ability to participate in government and thus they stop believing in their power to effect change which is the GOP goal in a nutshell.
If the GOP wants to make the government the enemy of the American people then they’re only making the American people an enemy of themselves.
Muahaha
How can they be so stupid and incompetent. It’s like some searched high and low throughout the country for the stupidest bastards they could find and somehow they all have a job in congress. Literally children could do your job better. Most of their jobs are done by unpaid interns who get “experience” and that’s it. Such a fucking joke.
At their age, they are entitled to use the word “flummoxed.”
I think they are more horrified that a small group of Christian Neo-Fascists are trying to install one of their own as the Speaker of the entire party.
