Probably ought to nominate someone who doesn't want the job. All the ones that I've ever seen that do want the job are corrupt. Doesn't mean they were not effective but someone who is willing to take this kind of humiliation in order to get the job has no principles at all beyond naked ambition
And that gets us people you don't want near power. Witness Jan 6.
I am having a difficult time as I imagine the next two years with any of these bozos "running" things

Lemon Boy has to be loving this----the ultimate grid lock in DCThe House, paralyzed and leaderless, is scheduled to return at noon on Thursday. Until a speaker is chosen, it is essentially a useless entity.

Now that's a rich response sandman. The same thing how you discount hunter Biden and think that's nothing to talk about.
OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

With no unified agenda or clear leadership, Republicans (rinos) face the prospect that the anti-establishment fervor that has powered the party in recent years could now devour it.

Sorry.. just always figured that “to the victors go the spoils” .. how the world goes ‘round..
Hunter Biden is no different than Trumps kids.. all involved is businesses that they really shouldn’t be..
Todays “news” involves the vilification of opponents, more so in right wing reporting.. Hunter Biden is “chum” for right wing entertainers.. he will always get people excited. But in reality The Biden kids haven’t done anything worse than the Trump kids..
And vote #7 appears to be the same as the previous 6.
How long until the Republican leaders decide enough and go with a viable candidate?

mccarthy keeps giving more concessions to this bunch of children and seems unable to see that he is pissing into the wind---the more he gives the more they demand----have you no pride, no limits?
It surely does give clear insights to how he might "manage" if he ever did get the chair-----he reminds me of a Slinky toy
Added in edit:
I was just thinking about how maccarthy and his tormentors are acting here and relating that to chickens. Chickens can be brutal---even murderous. If a chicken gets picked at and starts to bleed it is all over unless they get rescued and isolated. The rest of the chickens literally will pick the "bleeder" to death.
At this point, the mental midgets have drawn blood on mccarthey---someone needs to pull him out of the pen before he is picked to death.
