Seems completely normal and a totally healthy way to govern our country.
Lloth certainly approves.

There was apparently cursing, shouting, and praying. One hell of a meeting. Still happening it seems.
House GOP meeting gets heated — one member swears at Gaetz, others rail against Jordan
From CNN’s Melanie Zanona
A closed-door meeting of the House GOP Conference turned heated today, multiple sources tell CNN, a further sign of chaos as Republicans struggle to elect a speaker.
At one point, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who led the effort to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker, was told to sit down by McCarthy but refused. Illinois Rep Mike Bost then “got all emotional and ugly and was cussing him” and “telling him it’s all his fault,” one member said.
Other lawmakers, including some who support Jim Jordan’s speakership bid, slammed the Ohio Republican for backing an expected resolution to empower interim Speaker Patrick McHenry, calling him “self-serving.” Some members encouraged him to drop out of the race.
There was also an emotional and heated discussion over the death threats that some GOP lawmakers who oppose Jordan for speaker have faced.
Exiting the meeting, Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher said he was “going to the chapel to pray the rosary.”
“Temperatures are really high in there,” a deflated-looking Gallagher said.
Gaetz is a moron
I’m still waiting for Republicans to tell me what serious policy proposals they’re fighting over. This appears to be solely based on the personalities and political motivations of the individuals involved.
We need the C-SPAN cameras.
This is their own fault and not one and stopped to think how they got here. The Republican party cannot function as a fair right haven anymore. They need to kick the extremists out and stop peddling nonsensical culture war bullshit.
> Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene said the temporary solution is not the way to go.
> “We should all be able to find a path in that room right there, and that requires putting the egos down,”
… she said without a hint of irony.
PaRty of laW and ORdeR
Cons in disarray. You love to see it.

>Rep Troy Nehls suggested that Donald Trump be brought in for 100 days to lead the GOP in the House.
what an asshole
I heard my inner voice say “good, gooood” like Emperor Palpatine
McCarthy on Fox later today: “iT’s ThE dEmOcRaTs FaUlT”
But just remember, folks, all of this is the fault of the Democrats.
Gaetz held himself back from putting his hands on McCarthy when he realized that the former Speaker of the House was not a drunk sixteen year-old girl.
Somewhere in Ohio and Florida, a number of constituents have the burning taste of shit on their tongues but have to say that it’s ice cream to them because they think it’s going to annoy a liberal. Good job, geniuses. Good job.
> Mr Gaetz told reporters on Thursday that he didn’t support the suggestion that Mr McHenry receive temporary powers to reopen the House.
> “I’m against ‘Speaker Light.’ I’m against Bud Light. I believe it is a constitutional desecration to not elect a Speaker of the House. We need to stay here until we elect a Speaker,” Mr Gaetz told the press.
You are the reason that your party doesn’t have speaker right now. Sucks to suck I guess.
Republicans can’t govern themselves.
If you vote for clowns, you get a circus.
What a bunch of juvenile narcissistic piles of worthless crap.
“Almost” lunged is code for “nothing happened but I get scared easily”. These are some fragile-ass folks.
Nothing funnier than watching two dudes who’ve never been in a fist fight in their life try to intimidate each other 😆
Just do it! Beat each other and see who’s got who’s back. 😂
The kraken lady pleaded guilty today too. Very amusing day for us normies. Lol
1980 GOP: “Government is the problem. Vote for us to tear it down.”
2023 GOP: Why can’t we manage to govern?
> Rep Troy Nehls suggested that Donald Trump be brought in for 100 days to lead the GOP in the House.
Absolute fucking clowns. What a disgraceful spectacle.
McCarthy will have his sound bite ready for the evening news:
“If the Democrats had voted for Jordan I would not have yelled at Gaetz. As usual the Democrats caused this. They hate America.”
Republicans:
– won’t vote in a speaker
– won’t confirm military promotions
– won’t confirm justices
– won’t vote on budget
– **won’t do their jobs**
