Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), who chairs the Armed Services Committee, told reporters Thursday after a closed-door House GOP meeting that he wants Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to tell Republicans what concessions they’ll have to make for Democrats to help them elect a speaker—underscoring the chaotic race to find a new House leader as Republican options grow short to overcome an intraparty impasse.

    This is the natural result of the moderates and traditional republicans associating with lunatics, it’s finally coming back to bite them as they realize just how insane the people they associate with are.

    I hope this is enough of a wake up call for the handful of remaining sane republicans to either:

    A: switch over to Democrat where things are sane or B: Vote to boot out the MAGA idiots that are holding them back, restoring the republican party back to just being GOP (but sane about it), and not full blown “vaccines cause autism” MAGA

    What I find interesting is that the USA doesnt seem to have an emergency clause that if a House Speaker cannot be elected that it force triggers an election of the house, because if the party cant agree on who should lead them, it inherently outta trigger a dissolvement of that party and a re-election to reform them again.

    Canada has “Vote of Non-Confidence” as a system, where if our Parliament ever fails to pass a vote, the whole thing dissolves and a whole ass new election fires off, as it indicates a fracturing within the party and that our government is not stable, which forces everyone to re-think their votes and try again.
