The big brain move here is to elect Donald Trump as the new Speaker and impeach their way to the oval office.

Dusting off that 2020 boomer chud lore, huh?

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

That would be absolutely nuts!

You shut your mouth!

Please God let this happen. No House Rep can dare vote no to Trump.

Genuinely curious to see who they find as a replacement. GOP House Speaker is an absolutely thankless gig and I can't imagine anyone with a lick of sense is lining up for the position.

Patrick McHenry is speaker pro tempore until someone pushes for an election of speaker

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

But they literally can't do anything but vote for speakers until a speaker is elected by majority vote.

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Actually not true until a speaker election is called for because there is a speaker pro tempore

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

as long as he doesn't shake hands with the speaker anti tempore and cause a massive explosion, things should be fine

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Bring in Kevin Sorbo. I want more opportunities to mock him.

[-] Bobby_DROP_TABLES@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

Is Gaetz still getting investigated for pedo shit or did that sort of just fall off?

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

It just sorta fell off

Who could have possibly anticipated that?

The mad lad actually did it. Lmfao.

[-] YouKnowIt@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

So what're the dems hoping to get out of this? Besides yet another way to do nothing I mean

[-] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

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. Obviously that was bad, so they would never do that again right

[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

It is a pretty funny bit to plead for 'respectable' republicans and then help the right fringe of the republicans depose someone for compromising.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
