For the first time in a Century a speaker hasn't been chosen on the first day. What is even funnier is that even though the Republicans hold the Majority, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, leader of the House Democrats got 212 votes,more than any other Republican candidate and only 6 votes shy of taking the Speakers position.

Watching the Republicans imploding and infighting is absolutely beautiful!!!

The funny part is nobody had to pay them off. They are foolish and don’t deserve the gavels. It’s not just a look.

We need another (EVEN BIGGER) Jan. 6th. Clean out that building of all those worthless POS. Dems and Repubs. BOTH. They are all worthless.

Supposedly Boebert wants a key position on the Finance committee even though both parties reserve prime slots like that for reps with more terms, who have proven themselves in other jobs and have actually moved legislation.

I'm trying to round up the troops. We might have to bite the bullet and support a candidate that isn't openly insane.

The important fact is the GOP now controls congress and the Dems are looking in, out of power. Once the dust settles, and it will, since this is all nothing new as it has all happened before, Republicans will be setting the agenda.
