Can members of Congress be extradited?
only Democrats
Eddie Murphey films are a terrible precedent for congressional asperations.
Speaker of the House selection is going well.
I know this will settle down shortly and Republicans will get on with the business of ruining everything but while it lasts I’m enjoying the show.
Why am I not surprised?
They’ve shown many times that they don’t play well with others.
Oh man, some of those tweets are sweet.
CRENSHAW: “It’s a shame. It makes us look foolish. If I didn’t know any better, it’s like the Democrats paid these people off… Let’s make it look like the Republicans can’t govern and don’t deserve any gavels whatsoever. That’s what it makes it look like.”
He’s sooooo close to getting the point.
Oh, and when he talks about “those people”, he means “people like Boebert and Gaetz who oppose McCarthy”. Yeah, those two are definitely Democrats. Sure.
In the first ballot, Hakeem Jeffries got more votes than McCarthy did.
Is it possible that Hakeem could win???
Not unless some Republicans vote for him.
It could happen!
Some Democrat needs to introduce the RESPONSIBLE ADULT Act. When asked what that’s an acronym for, they should just respond, “It’s not an acronym, it’s what we actually want in Congress.”
Mostly because I can’t come up with a good backronym.
I’m not going to take on the RESPONSIBLE part, but ADULT could be America Deserves Unflappable Leadership Today.
I’ve got it! REPublican SPONsored Speaker Is Bloody Likely to Explode America Deserves Unflappable Leadership Today Act.
Teamwork! If only the Republicans knew how to pull that off.
I’ll IM you with papers for our trademark collaboration.
There have been three Speaker votes today, and on the third, one of the guys who voted for McCarthy on the first two ballots voted against him, saying he doesn’t have the votes.
“They’re a pesky bunch!” said Col. Potter to Hawkeye.
Perhaps they could coalesce around a conservative Republican with a solid voting record on their issues; Liz Cheney!
A county in MI has been taken over by MAGA. Good idea hire the loser of the House Election, fire the health director, get rid of the Diversity, Equity, and inclusion Department. Oh, and change the county motto from: “Where You Belong” to “Where Freedom Rings” because of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Department. 'Cause you know not everyone belongs.
