It's all very hilarious until you realize that the MAGAts have shut down the government, and intend to keep it shut down, then, not so funny

There is a simple solution - talk to democrats and make a compromise.

They can't do that. And that's not a political thing. They literally can't do that. Until a speaker is elected the House is closed (except for speaker votes). If the funding period ends with out a speaker, then the government shutdowns regardless of what either party wants. Since Republicans hold a majority, there is very little the Democrats can contribute.

Dems are also voting on Speaker. Repubs need to work with Dems to elect a Speaker.

Remember that Redditor who made the "join us" memes every time someone dropped out of the 2020 Dem primary? They need to do that for the GOP House speaker nominees.

What an honour!

(This jokes funnier if you imagine the above is said by Zoidberg, also, why not Zoidberg for speaker?)
