Fascism will come to this country, not by force, but wrapped in the flag and holding a bible.
What a coincidence!
They were refusing to vote for Jim Jordan because he is an election denier and they ended up voting in an election denier with all the fascist trimmings!
Sounds like a pretty solid pick for the speaker when you put it that way. It's exactly what the Republican party embodies now.
Just gonna say it, he’s basically a Nazi. Is that accurate?
He has a Christian fundamentalist podcast with his wife. Yea. I'd say so.
The (R) is a hint. No one sincerely concerned with the wellbeing of the nation would be willing to have that next to their name in this day and age.
Seems accurate
This is who they were holding out for? Even the ones that wouldn't vote for Gym Jordan voted for this guy? Fuckin hell.
GOP "moderates" caved again. They never fail to fall in line, eventually. They were desperate to end the embarrassing failed speaker votes, easily worn down and "fooled" (gasp!) by an unknown candidate. Only the people who voted these clowns into the House are more disappointing.
I'm calling it, next election if Biden wins he'll actually try to stop the vote from going through. He can't actually stop it, but he'll 100% make some sort of speech about how the country is ruined.
AKA a republican. I'd be surprised if he were anything else.
Even McCarthy voted for him because this was the plan all along. I guess 1930s Germany is too far in the past to remember.
Well...
I am sure this will lead to a very productive legislature session.
Ah great, a raging homophobe that has been part of multiple hate groups. This is a good outlook for the future!
Well he's got the politician frump face down.
"Welp, I tried to accomplish something, but I blame my colleagues across the aisle. I'm a good politician, now pay me your tax money while I listen to my actual lobbyist constituents."
What the Republican Party has become is truly amazing.
Bet he has a cp dungeon...
Does he look exactly like Julia Louis-Dreyfus to anybody else, or is it just me?
My God, Selina Meyer will stop at nothing
