Hit the showers Gym Shorts …
Time for coalition, jokes over.
Jim Jordan is a traitor. If he or the Orange guy gets elected this country is lost.
The GOP is beyond help… Jim & Donald need to go…
Poor Beavis π€£π€£π€£π€£
Reasonable people are doing what's necessary to prevent the extreme from becoming speaker.
(Or should that be "Sane people are doing what's necessary to prevent the insane from becoming speaker"?)
He lost three more votes since yesterday. Maybe he shouldn't have harassed and threatened the wives of those Republicans who didn't vote for him the first time around. Nobody likes a bully and a COWARD.
MAGA ALWAYS LOSING
Gym Jordan does worse than McCarthy
There has got to be 6 Republicans not planning on running again and they should vote for Jeffries just to get back to work!
I wonder if the election of the speaker would be quicker if they had secret ballot so knowing knew how everyone voted.
Anyone for a third failed vote.π
I feel like Viola Davis in The Help looking at these republicans "Ain't you tired?!" πππ
GYM Jordan did not even break 200 this time.
The question is: will he try to lose more in a third round ??
We are watching the death of the Republican Party. The people will not be kind to a party that can not govern during these tumultuous times.
Does anybody realize how dangerous it would be if jordan won the speaker? 2 people away from president? I fear for president Bidens safety
Wait why is CBS using 2000s trap beats for their music? πππππ
Jordan lacks the skills….it is as simple as that.
Jim the groomer
Vote NO
Just asked all those kids
How many voting sessions do they need?
Congratulations to Hakeem Jeffries on his win again today.
Commiserations to the USA on the continued pestilence that is the Republican Party.
π
No worries. The clown car derby will continue while the nation laughs at them all.
The republicans have yet to learn: the Speaker of the House speaks for the American people, not their own fragile egos.
Moderates don't want a Trump puppet, shocker
This Republican mess is making Trump look weak.
awesome… thanks for the coverage…
Pick someone else or put Kevin back in. We DO NOT WANT JIM JORDAN!!
Who would have thought that Trump, Gaetz and Jordan could have ruined the Republican party? Besides Lindsey Graham and me?
None but the MAGA Extremists like him. They have a common enemy in American values and the Rule of Law.
How about today's news
The only job Jim Jordan is suited for is prison wrestling coach. The Orange Ba'al can do his pretend tough guy routine and throw a chair at him. Well, scoot a chair toward him.
Jeffries is the only sane choice..
Decent and patriotic Americans abhor the very idea of Gym Jordan as House Speaker.
The only thing Jim Jordan can win is a 5+ year prison term for being the #1 accomplice to Traitor Trump's big election lies.
Jim Jordan needs to step out of the way; he brings too much baggage from the Trump business along with him, and is a voice for division not unity. Surely, somewhere there must be a voice that can work toward a more united approach to the interests of the people. His ego needs to take a rest and step aside.
We on 6th Vote Yet?π
In Russia they sit on a Couch, eating Popcorn and laughing about the rotten Democracy of the USA. Lawrow and Putin are laughing cheer each other and say we made a great Job supporting Trump.
Of course, Jordan will be lost for sure as he does not has experience being house speaker who present for whole American.
I am upset whom who suggested him be house speaker. if Americas have no choice then putting Kevin McCarthy back his job better than Mr Trump's attacking dog Jordan.
Yay!!πππ
help them humiliate him more
