119th congress: must be at least 75 to chair a committee!

You're getting there. Now say it with me: Dems are Old. Republicans are Evil and Old.

See the difference?

Joe sees nothing and is blinded by his pet issue. Roe is no more and he still jizzes daily at the thought of all the working class women in red states who've been forced to give birth ever since. He then prays to St. Augustine afterward for forgiveness.
 
Rules package for the House Speaker position were unveiled. They have done away with the "any single member may motion to remove the speaker," (which was the law of the land until Dems changed it briefly in 2019 to dissuade single ousting, but was brought back by Kevin McCarthy in 2023 and bit him in the ass)

This time it's proposed that a single member can motion for vacating the speaker position, but only if it's co-sponsored by eight other representatives.

Oh, and it can only be brought to the floor *if all nine co-sponsors are members of the majority party.* No minority party can participate in ousting a speaker.

More than a dozen GOP holdouts see this as a pathetic powergrab by a tenuous speaker.

If the election of speaker drags on like McCarthy's did in 2023, there runs the risk of Congress not being able to certify Trump's election, let alone be seated to partake in any actual lawmaking.

Whatever they can do to fuck over the middle class and get Elon his tax cut they're going to do. Whatever it takes.

He's my Congressman. He's a very nice man and he's the poster child for being a loyal backbencher. Not a whit of creativity or a new thought in 30 years.

All he had going for him was he was running against the Fasc.

I'm sure he is very nice...lots of people at the home are.

I'm sure he has lots of thoughts and prayers for all the babies being left in dumpsters in Texas because he hates women so much!

Trump endorsed Johnson a while ago...I don't they're still be much of a fight.
 
Little Mikey says he has the votes.

House milled around a bit waiting for a few straglers. Vote total today will be 433. Rep. Gaetz filed an official letter to confirm he will not be fulfilling his re-election and the seat is vacant. Democratic Representative from Georgia Hank Johnson is not present.

From the WaPo live blog:
If Georgia Democrat Hank Johnson does not show up during the roll call vote for speaker, the majority support needed to win on the first ballot will be 217 votes, one extra vote to spare for the speaker, down from the 218 needed if all 434 were present.

Mikey can have two hold outs at max.


Would be absolutely hilarious if three R's voted for Jeffries.

No surprise third nominations on the first vote.
 
Just delaying the inevitable. Seeing liberals and media types on Bluesky act like this is some sort of victory or bad sign for Trump is the height of Cope. It means nothing.

It is the first time it's happened in back to back Congresses though so...yay?
 
Welp, they never gaveled to end the session, and two Representatives changed their vote to Johnson, so he gets elected on the first go. 218-215-1

They will pass what Trump tells them to pass. They aren't standing up to him. If there is a civil war it won't be in the House even over the debt ceiling.

Best we can hope for is The Senate and his actual flunkies. The House is lost they bent a knee. Trump ended their revolt in line 20 minutes.

Hell I don't even trust the Dems to stand up to him. Some already are waffling (hi John Fetterman) and i think Hakeem Jeffries is rather worthless.

Most of the Op Eds recently are Dems patting themselves on the back for willing to be even more bipartisan.

The war is over. The Republicans won. We should be the same as Hungary in short order.
 
I don’t think any Democratic poster on here wants bipartisanship with Trump and his party of lackeys. F*ck them. But they’ll get their tax cuts through because they easily pass budget reconciliation rules. Confirm their judges in the Senate. Our resistance is, and will likely stay worse, than last time, and Trump will be more efficient at being awful. We all knew the stakes.
