In my defense - it was just a chuckle and not a guffaw. I'm saving up my guffaws for a special occasion. Like next year before the election - Biden dies of old age. I know, I know. That's bad. What can I do? I'm naughty.
first time in american history
this shit rules
I'm sure the Dems got huge concessions in exchange for this. Very strategic and good brains over there. No way they'd just freely help boot the guy that caved so that someone even farther right would be in power. Surely not. No way. Not this time.
Very strategic and good brains over there.
Hakeem Jeffries is 53 that means epic cases of the dems grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory are going to happen in the house for decades. And he'll be highly effective at punching left if not kneecapping the left.
Surely the Democratic party isn't still running the same play they did in 2016 and hoping to boost their numbers by pushing the Republicans further right, right
The funniest outcome would be to elect 
as speaker since they don’t technically have to be a representative
"My first act as speaker is to make John Fetterman wear pants. He must wear pants. Pants are important. Pants—"
"Mr. President... I mean Mr. Speaker.... Um... Mr. Preseaker - John Fetterman is a senator. The rules of the senate are different."
"I don't care. Gotta wear pants. Knees protruding. Disrespectful. And - 'Mr. Preseaker' - I like that. Everybody heretofore gotta call me that. Until - of course - will the presidency for the third time..."
Smirks as he picks up the gavel and says “I got a bigger one at home”
"A big guy in a suit came up to me. Big, strong and powerful. You could see the big muscles under his suit. Big! Very big. Like a body builder. He has tears in his eyes and he is crying and he says 'Mr. President Trump, sir - I want you to be the Speaker of the House. Please, please, please.' So - I dunno. Maybe I'll be the speaker. Maybe. And we can impeach Crooked Biden finally."
That would own. More free airtime for him to keep pumping up his numbers and be a big ol' catty queen.
So you're telling me this right wing nutbar wasn't nuts enough?
Mr speaker, your fired sir
So…what does this mean.
New ghoul, same as the old ghoul.
Well currently I think it means "no ghoul".
Ah. Of course. Why would things be different.
Idk but funny
He will probably eventually get voted back in just like before.
That would only make this funnier
Lmao.
lol
Live by the four vote house majority margin.
Die by the four vote house majority margin.
I gotta wonder if the Dems were savvy enough to line up five Republicans to break ranks and elect a "moderate" House Speaker or if they're just going to laugh as McCarthy's ass hits the pavement, kick back, and watch the country burn.
Amerika has lost its speaker, thus americans aren't allowed to speak anymore (including the internet)
Hahahahah another triumph for liberal institutions
Lol lmao
