Alternate title: “GOP’s Jim Jordan fails again on vote for House speaker as Democrats watch with amusement”
No one reasonable is watching with amusement as it is bad for the entire country. Unless you hate the US. Do you hate the US?
I’m getting major “why do you hate freedom?” vibes from this comment.
That’s your fault. I openly acknowledge the numerous atrocities the US has fomented around the world in the last 100 years. But when the alternatives are Russia and China you have to be reasonable about your choices. Having no leadership in the largest economic government in the world only benefits those who deal in chaos. Trust me, you don’t want chaos.
I didn’t realize it was my fault personally. I’ve got a LOT of apologies to make!
Oh, and thanks for the reminder that government chaos is a bad thing. I always forget that.
I might? What's it to you?
Given how they're acting, it is pretty clear the Republicans do.
Yes
You're getting downvoted by people who don't understand what this means for the US right now, or by people who aren't fans of the US and think your last comment is indicative of US imperialist thinking. Some see this petty in-fighting as the downfall of the horrible GOP, which could be good in the long term. But for today it means that no legislative work can be done, which includes a long term budget agreement. We are currently plodding along under a temporary budget agreement that expires Nov 17. If a speaker doesn't get elected, then a vote on a budget can't be held; which means there will be a government shutdown. Millions of federal employees will be furloughed without pay until the GOP decides to actually fucking work at their fucking job.
