Nope, they just changed their minds. Gym is going for a 3rd bite at the Speaker apple.

I wish the best luck to Skeletor Dexter.

Fails again. The GOP is a CF

My theory: it's all a ploy by members of the party who don't want Congress to authorize more foreign aid. If we don't have a speaker then they don't have to vote against it.

Interesting theory. I think it's more that the members that aren't voting for ol' Gym shorts Jordan want to have a chance at getting elected again. That's the case with Chavez-DeRemer at least, I imagine.

A few more vote against him each time. His number is getting smaller rather then bigger. Wonder how many times he will try and see his tactics are failing.

With even fewer votes than the last two times. Love it. This guy's an absolute piece of s***.

Sounds like maybe it's time for the president to authorize emergency spending some other way..

Gym has dropped out, no longer running for Speaker.

 

[twobullz]

Looks like in the last vote he only received 86 votes with 112 republicans voting to move on to someone else.

I predict that a few of those 9 Republicans that sit in Biden districts (Like Lori Chavez-Dehremer) are going to make a sweet deal with the Dems.

Let the pork flow!

Well so much for that. Emmer is out!

I would argue that by my (very little) understanding of Jesus, he was all about helping the marginalized groups, which the LGBTQ+ community is. I don't think Jesus stopped him. The false prophets did.

It's like a very bad joke that goes on endlessly.

Tried to overturn 2020 presidential election by saying state legislatures could cast electoral college votes for whoever they want regardless of who got most votes.

 

[crandc]

He was legal counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, a hate group organized to overturn and block all civil rights for LGBTQ people. They are behind the cases where Extreme Court ruled OK to discriminate against queers if Jesus. Also behind cases seeking coerced Christian prayer in public schools and forcing taxpayers to find private Christian schools. Unsurprising they oppose all birth control and outlawing all abortion no exceptions.
