#NBCNews #House #Speaker
The six or seven Republicans that cross the aisle to welcome Jefferies will actually be saving their party.
15 Republicans would actually have to change their vote for McCarthy to get the speaker position. It won’t happen.
Jim jordan is who we want
Spoken like a traitor
@the last emperor <- groomer
The Dems may actually be waiting upon the correct Repub to vote for should a swing vote be needed, and with some Dem deals vs Freedom Caucus deals.
If Garland/Smith would just walk in with bracelets for all of those “members” who aided and abetted a Domestic TERRORIST attack on the Capitol and who have VIOLATED their Oaths of Office wherein they promised to defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies–foreign and DOMESTIC, we could have a different vote.
If this is the kind of drama we’ll have to put up with the next two years from the GOP, we’re screwed.
Or we can just accept the democrats stocking together and agreeing on everything just to screw us ? Great
They can’t spend any money this way.
Island banks celebrate new years for a week there bribery checks won’t clear till then.
They need to keep this up for two years. They can’t waste our tax dollars foolishly if they aren’t in session. Drunk Nancy spent over five million dollars that our grandkids haven’t earned yet
They can’t even decide who will lead them!! Wow we are in trouble y’all
That’s unsettling
The late Muhammad Ali changed boxing duration to 12 rounds only… Friday will be round 12…still no winner???
We go to the score cards.
Keep up the good fight Kevin! You’re quickly reaching your goal of beating trump at being a loser!
I think you are wrong! The Repukelican Party is united in attempting to END DEMOCRACY. They are all Fascists, and some of them are active MAGA-Q Domestic Terrorists who should have been arrested already . . . and may Yet face indictment. A lot of them have also VIOLATED their Oaths of Office. They don’t represent anyone but themselves. They are Liars, Thieves and Back-Stabbing Dweebs who need to be tarred, feathered and run out on a rail . . . Let’s send them to Putin, who is, afterall, their hero right now.
🙏‼️
God, please deny McCarthy the speaker seat…. #amen
It’s in the GOP’s hands, and dispute the people they invite to speak at their fundraisers, the GOP hasn’t had anything to do with God in a long time!
@no Way this is my prayer “God, please deny McCarthy the speaker seat… #amen”. Nothing to do with the GOP’s involvement with God…. Thx tho.
What the heck is “an extreme conservative”? Wasn’t that what a Republican supposed to be in the olden days?
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD
I have a great idea for how to lift the debt ceiling.
DO NOT LIFT THE DEBT CEILING. If you run out of money, cut back on foreign aid.
You can’t run out of money with a FIAT money supply
Military spending is the largest contributor to the national debt, nimwit.
The republican problem: Mccarthy doesn’t have enough votes, and no other republican has as much votes as mccarthy.
If they can’t vote they can’t make stupid laws.
Gopty Dumpty
69th times the charm
Political politics report doing some reported reporting of the reports of reported reporting
Most people don’t get a second chance so why 11 for this trash?
Since McCarthy has given up all the power that the Speaker of the House once had, exactly why does he still want the job? He has already made it into the history books. Time for 6 brave republicans to vote for Hakeem Jeffries. After all, some 20 republicans have already claimed they are OK with the first African-American Speaker of the House.
Well I think 🤔 6 of them moderate Republicans should cross over and vote 🗳️ for Jefferies and make history right on January 6 and show the American people they’re for them .. and mash the orange 🍊 man party mega party ..
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result.
Good job Lauren 👏
WTF is this stupid, brute force method of wearing people down to try to get votes. Nominate someone else you fools. This isn’t worth $17.50 an hour, lets alone 175k a year salary.
*Dan Crenshaw for Speaker*
🤢🤮
This is sad none of them should get a paycheck till something is done.They all fighting over the keys to the stock market
So this is considered chaos, but our elections that takes weeks to find a winner is ok?
Sandy is so slow.
Ha! time for this RINO to just give up already
Hold Strong 20!!!!
Either Jim Jordan or Scalise should become House Speaker 2023
Jim “Shorts” Jordan is unfit to be men’s restroom attendant, let alone Speaker! 🚾
DRBloomquist is a groomer.
@PrimRoseD I do use Groom N Clean. Better than Brylcream, which stinks.
Zelensky is crying and you’re laughing?
Well we tried, time to throw the whole the whole house in the trash. 🤷🏻♂️
Mr. Potato Head for House Speaker.🥔
“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed….and
we will deserve it.”
Lindsey Graham May 3, 2016
I for one am glad they don’t all unquestionably agree on absolutely everything. They are fighting for their constituents and not just voting blindly because they are paid by big industry.
When everyone just votes and agrees without question, that is how we end up 31+ trillion in debt with a destroyed economy and getting worse.
I am happy to see we finally don’t have sheep running around that building.
You need to learn more about what you are talking about. Living with your attitude is never good.
🤣🤣🤣
This is what happens after a terrible speaker. They’re just being cautious not to put a rino up there.
they welcomed the tin foil hat kooks in with open arms, and now american politics is more of a joke than ever before
The democrats don’t want to see a working house either.
Deflecting per usual thats your team bro. Take care of it.
….this is 100% the republican’s fault.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
McCarthy will only win if he offers his car, house, and literally pay for votes.
There is going to be fireworks tomorrow… 😐
Stupidity: Doing the same thing again & again expecting a different outcome
If picking a leader is so simple Democrats…….Let Trump do it…..Ah…….not so simple now huh? This guy is dumb
2:32 This is the Trump effect!
I’ve never expected much from the GOP,
and they’ve never let me down.
somehow this is the dems fault
Jim jordan for speaker
Goku Son For speaker!
Those MAGA crazies must be expelled as soon as a speaker is finalized. They’re a clear, present and absolute danger.
At this point, McCarthy wife won’t even let him speak in his own house too..
T he Democrats want to get down to business for the American people. And the republicans can’t do business with each other. Why are these GOP fools in office.?
Failure, thy name is McCarthy .
Just shut the govt down already. All their gonna do is open the borders, give more money to Ukraine, and audit conservatives.
I find it funny Dems giggle about this whole thing. Liberal hive mindset forces them to be compliant with their masters. Good little Libs. So narrow minded, they find disagreement among peers as abnormal, how dare you not act like mind numb robots like (insert preferred pronoun) nature intended .
It’s better than a socialist government with democrats
Clearly not.
Laughing at you Americans from another country, it’s my understanding that the definition bad leadership and of insanity is to repeat the same thing over and over again but expect a different result.
Yep, that just about sums you nutcases up.
And you geniuses have got Nukes.
You guys keep crying about the GOP being cautious about putting more RINOs in power, it’s not like the Democrat leader is currently dumping billions of untraceable dollars into a war we have no business in while we simultaneously have record-highs in inflation going on for over a year or anything…
Never change, sheep…actually, I wish you’d change so the country would improve and we wouldn’t vote in trash like Biden. Either that or move out of the country like you all cried about doing when Trump won in 2016…
Wouldn’t it be sweet to see 6 Republicans agree to switch their vote to Jeffries? That would immediately end the gridlock and give the handful of stubborn spoilers what they deserve. It is unlikely to happen, but that would sober some people up real quick and shut up the ones with the fattest mouths.
If they could vote anonymously, I bet this would have already happened.
Hahaha. that’s no way an option. it’s like fascism to ANTIFA
Maybe next week, based on working a deal, and based on a SECRET ballot maybe ? It would have to be 6 Dems who are near the ends of their careers because others would probably not be willing to take a chance. Elections are every 2 years of course.
Obviously the Democrats want McCarthy….lol Otherwise they wouldn’t cover this at all
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they put Zelenskiy for speaker
He be the best Speaker, but he has his own troubles to deal with. 🤷🏻♂️
@Luis Reyes He can’t be a leader because he’s an American pawn to begin with.
You are Fake news
TOO BAD DEMOCRUDS!!! YOU DONT GET YOUR DARLING RINO MCCARTHY!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕
🤪🤪🤪🤪what🤨🤨🤨
If Kevin drops out, how can the GOP be saved or even become popular again?
It can start with De-Trumpification of the overall party. 😡
I think that ship has already sailed.
Ok. So does that mean we don’t have to have government anymore? Because, quite frankly, I’m over it. 😁
Trump was hired to decay the GOP with the GQP from within, and it worked. GOPers should switch to Independent. Keep the republic, not the republican party.
Maybe an Independent should be speaker of the House.
A bunch of babbling fools running the Washington circus
LMAO! This is the GOP governing: chaos, division, incompetence. I’m sure their donors are loving this, wonder when they’ll start pulling their leashes.
I fear if this isn’t resolved soon, the MAGAchuds will simply install George Santos as Speaker.
And he’s no better than Jim “Shorts” Jordan. 🤦🏻♂️
He goes to margo lamo every night and begs to the behemoth, please please make them all vote for me.
If McCarthy doesn’t get the speakership, his entire political career will be a joke, and with every vote he loses, the punchline keeps getting bigger and bigger.
One round should have been enough….get back to work!!!!
This is the biggest difference between parties, the Dems work together, the republicans always fight between themselves…
How long can this hold up the function of govt ? By Gaetz nominating Trump he has opened up the possibility of a Speaker of the House not being an elected member of Congress. What happens if the Democrats nominate an idependant non elected person? And then back that person with the help of 10 Republicans?? 10 Republicans who say present but do not actually vote?
Please go back to school.
Republicans are tired of the swamp. There are far too many corrupt politicians in Washington — Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, McCarthy… America deserves better. 🇺🇸
Congress can no longer perform basic functions. There needs to be an entire overhaul. The American people need to fire every single one of them.
ENTIRE OVERHAUL can be conducted by the NEW, MODERN Forward Party!!
↖️ btw Take a look @ my handle, look @ About, follow links …. U can also see FP videos if ya click Liked & Playlist. LET’S GO INDEPENDENTS !! …
So let me get this straight, Mccarthy lost and threw a hissy fit like a 12yr old girl?
😂😂😂 Crazy crooked fools!
Let’s go round again 😂
Describing the looney deplorables as “extreme conservatives” is the height of ignorance – there’s nothing “conservative” about them. They are about as radical as it gets – far from respecting and preserving institutions, they’re all about tearing them down!
I’ve watched a train wreck, and even been in a helicopter crash. Nether of those were anywhere close to the level of chaos the Republicans are showing to be a feature in their party.
The Democrats should make them stay until the Republicans give up and vote not present!
How many rounds of voting are there?
They should just retire time for some new blood and more progressive governing body!!!Tukeys do more in a day then these old white” boraguards !!”🤣😅😆😃😀😉🙃🙂😉😎
THIS IS THE CORRUPTION OF CONGRESS ON FULL DISPLAY ITS CUZ THEY ALL ARE DEMANDING COMMITTEE SEATS THAT’S WHY THEY WONT VOTE 🤣 THIS IS CORRUPTION OF CONGRESS…ALSO NBC IS PROPAGANDA
? Republicans are fighting republicans. That’s why this is a **** show.
Republicans dealing with Republicans…..What could go wrong.👎👎
At this point McCarthy will have zero power or influence as speaker. Pick someone else.
Yes I love it when our government fails I love seeing the government SHOOK and in FEAR
Can someone explain why it’s legally possible to not get the vote 11 times in a row? Surely there’s a better way.
I feel like the Republicans should have tried switching out McCarthy after three or four rounds of voting at the most. This is ridiculous because it means none of the Congress is doing its job they are being paid to do.
i cant believe im cheering on gaetz and boebert
i hope they can keep this up for 2 years
on the the 11th try with the long nay vote to adjourn by democraps, It looks like the Democrats are playing the republican holdouts for suckers if they think they are draining the swamp.
it was a democrap congress majority that pushed the 1.7 trillion bill thru with members of congress that were voted out of office.
instead of messing around file a criminal complaint in court for being decieved concerning a congressional bill & lack of time to review it
thru ommission .
thats draining the swamp.
The senate had no problem adding over 1000 changes to the bill that representatives were left in the dark about the senate candyland changes to get it appeoved in the senate.
thats part of the ommission to decieve.
Basically the Senate Majority leader embezzeled the taxpayer for money the government doesnt have for favors.
Basically the Senate Majority leader embezzeled the taxpayer for money the government doesnt have for favors while denying parts of the Country representation in congress
trying to legitimize the procedure.
*New day new problem God help us*
*The world is heading towards depression because of the economic destruction from the pandemic, the govt make the rules then blithely break the rules, the rich are hardly affected by the economic problems. It is always the poor who takes the hit. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✅*
yes, Albert Santos is the best. He is the only one I can leave my investment with and think less about it, he is my money maker. I just received $13,000 of my investment last month. I am very happy because he is leading me to financial freedom.
To be honest I invested as low as $1,000 because I was skeptical initially. Receiving my profit gave me more confidence to reinvest higher.
I’m glad to see Mr. Albert mentioned here, my spouse recommended him to me after investing $10,000 and he has really helped us financially in times of COVID -19 lockdown here in Australia
I have never seen any of his clients complain of lost….I think he is just too perfect
Believe me he’s the best when it comes to Cryptocurrency trading, your profit is assured.💯
Pelosi was a democrat right? So it should be 50/50. Its democratic led atm, but still would be a rep in turn for house speaker.
Remember God loves you♥️!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏🙏.
He is coming back soon😊♥️……..
Good. ! They whole congress is useless Just print more Dollar$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$”””
Just quit
Disband the house. Clearly America doesn’t need it just like us in the UK don’t need the house of lords.
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I could recommend you professional support. The strategies designed to address your unique long-term benefits and financial dreams to come into reality.
The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert trader just like Mr Adam Walter, I got recommended to him and since then my financial life has been a success.
I’m a long term investor I’m from Australia 🇦🇺. I withdrew my profits of over £56,000 during the covid-19 pandemic.
Long term investment is the best now.I’m also a proud beneficiary! I Invested $9,500 in March I started investing last year with Mr Adam Walter and I top up my trade with $500 every two weeks. Now, I’m having over $147,000 on my dashboard. Toping up your trade is really important.
I think a good T/A like Walter will pay off more random You-tube videos,a lot of YouTube don’t actually care if you loose money,they just want more views and traffic 🚦.
Thank you for this. Will definitely reach out to him now. Thanks again
mccarthy reminds me of the school dweeb trying to date the prom queen. not going to happen
Have you watched any of these votes live yet? Talk about boring and a waste of time! It’s nothing short of a social hour, with many not even there or they’re walking around and standing talking to somebody. Is this what we pay for in our Government? Apparently so. Many will say the Senate and House work hard for the public. I strongly disagree.
They get to vote 11. Times people only get to vote 1. Time ??????
