I don't see Republicans voting for a Dem Speaker, the Dems would have to settle for a compromise Republican who will accommodate some of their asks.

Isn't that the whole point of RICO though? Carrot-and-stick the little guys to get the big guys.

The party is too factional to compensate for four seats of wiggle room. Could just yo-yo between institutional moderates and hard right for all eternity.

he was afraid to unwind!

I don't want to get too excited but we seem to be snowballing.

GOP conference is currently ranked choice voting through all the candidates for speaker designee

those toddler Halloween vibes

it's great to think about it but not so much when it's 4am and you've been asleep for two hours

you see, it's the Democrats' fault for voting for their own leader instead of someone who openly considers them the enemy and refused to entertain compromise.

ANYWAYS based solely on this one video that wormed into my recommendations that I've since watched 20 times, this person is the best youtuber of all time:

man if i had a dollar for every internet content creator i learned about only because of internet content creator drama imposed on me against my will, i'd certainly have more dollars that's for sure

I think I've clicked on the wrong thread and I will see myself out

I don't really remember for me, was the middle of three and then there was a divorce and later on a bonus kid. But there is a dramatic toddler here who has been waking up in the middle of the night and sobs "daddy? daddy where are you? daddy I need you where are you?" Never a cry for mommy.

McCarthy would have had to resign like five times over

GOP conferencing at 1pm est to vote on whether Jordan should remain their nominee.

The eight anti-McCarthy Republicans are offering censure or even expulsion from the conference for the moderate holdouts to vote Jordan. Jeffries is doing a presser on conditions for a bipartisan agreement.

oh god i just turned it on and he's already down 23 votes with just less than 100 votes to go

the absences are all Republicans?

happy birthday @Gaz!

There are two rank systems. The one we traditionally think of as ranks with the colors is actually "member groups" and the one you're speaking about is the actual "rank" system. It's what luuv set up on the previous software that kinda of laid dormant when we first upgraded to IPB several years back. Haven't figured out what to do with it yet.

but also this is the best place to shitpost obviously
