Why is Hakeem Jeffries not House Speaker?

[RhodyPatriot]

Remember folks, Republicans barely eeked away winning the House.

They scraped by their teeth.

This is after predicting something called a "Red Wave"

And this is what they do w/their inkling of power.

What a cluster fudge. America won't forget.

And the Democrats better not allow America to forget.

Hey dumbfuck, here's what happened:

The MAGA contingent issued demands to McCarthy.

McCarthy, after a 4 day stand off, is now about to give them everything they wanted. Which shows you why this "chaos" was actually a rational well thought out plan.

MAGA is now ascendant in the House of Reps, and McCarthy will get his Speakership.

Now back to your stupid Fake News about "chaos" and "disarray".

I know it looks like that to you when you're used to the Party that marches in lockstep like the mindless Nazis they are.

You mad bro? He mad.

Yup, he mad!

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Well, it is odanny after all.

Thanks for the reminder.

I'm old and forget which equally insufferable creature this one used to be.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

It'll be over very soon dipshit, and it will all make sense.

Well, I guess not to you.

In the same way that feeding rats makes sense maybe.

 

[Missourian]

Only in the usual way. Republicans dragging us through the thickets aimlessly yet again. Not sure where they’re going or where they’ll come out.

Be honest my dude. When MAGA Republicans win...you lose.

And when they use #forcethevote to do it...that's gotta sting.

The same reason you're not intelligent: some things just aren't meant to be.

There is no scenario after 14 votes where you ‘win’.
No one slogs through such a shitshow and comes out a winner.
The simple fact that you see this as some sort of victory only highlights how bad you’ve lost.

Simply clueless.

Here Are the Concessions Kevin McCarthy Reportedly Made to the Freedom Caucus for Speaker Votes

Kevin McCarthy reportedly made numerous concessions to the Freedom Caucus, which most of the holdouts belong to.

Whatever you say.

Dude, us getting everything we wanted and reforming the House so it will be utterly unrecognizable from Witch Pelosi's reign is like a total loss haha

 

[Papageorgio]

He got 217 Democratic votes, while McCarthy only got 203 votes. This charade, now into the 8th vote, should be ended immediately, and Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) should be elected Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Take a civics lesson and get back to us.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Whatever you say.

You can’t change reality ‘my guy’.
No matter how bad you want it to be.

Winning is coming out of the first vote as speaker without making further concessions.

You’re the once in a century destructive storm.

The losers that your ancestors had the sense not to be.

"McCarthy lost his eleventh round of voting Thursday evening. Yet if the concessions he has made so far ultimately help him end the impasse, they stand to radically reshape the next Congress, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The concessions include changing the House rules to empower every lawmaker to call for a vote to oust the Speaker at any time; giving the House Freedom Caucus, of which most of the holdouts are members, four seats on the powerful House Rules Committee; and appointing some of the chamber’s most conservative lawmakers as chairs to a handful of subcommittees. The Washington Post also reported that McCarthy agreed to allow floor votes on a border security bill and a measure that would institute term limits on House members."

What helps one end and impasse is not the same as what makes one a good speaker, dope.

Giving up the very tools that make a good speaker leaves one powerless.

Overthrowing a speaker is less important than finding common ground to govern on.

I know it looks like that to you when you're used to the Party that marches in lockstep like the mindless Nazis they are.

The ironic part? The progressive caucus and the black caucus are probably fuming right about now. They could have gotten these types of concessions from Nancy too.

A bunch of, "white racists," showed them how the game is actually played, and their caucuses are probably a little larger.

Overthrowing a speaker is less important than finding common ground to govern on.

But it isn't more important than laying down the ground rules of how the House will operate.

If the rules favor the party elites, and the speaker having control, then big money interests, global corporations, and lobbyists can set the agenda, rather than the various stake holders and the state constituencies which put the reps. there in the first place.

What the Dems ‘could have gotten’ is not a substitute for what you didn’t get.

You’re still a loser. The losers of the century.

I have proven on this forum several times, that the guy they are all voting for, is corrupt, he has sold out, he doesn't need any power.

Neither did Nancy, she has destroyed this nation.

This was posted by a former nominee for the Green Party and member of the DNC congressional black caucus. If she can see the bullshit, why can't you?

My guess is you’re feeling powerless right about now.

It will get worse.
