Talks of a possible bipartisan solution to the House Speaker standoff that has created chaos in the Republican caucus are underway, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday.

“There are informal conversations that have been underway. When we get back to Washington tomorrow, it’s important to begin to formalize those discussions,” the New York Democrat said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

When asked what House Democrats might be asking for a deal with House Republicans, Jeffries said his caucus wants “to ensure that votes are taken on bills that have substantial Democratic support and substantial Republican support so that the extremists aren’t able to dictate the agenda.”

    The difference being Hillary actually did something wrong. Was it overblown? Definitely. The difference is there is absolutely zero proof of Biden doing anything wrong and watching witnesses Republicans call up basically tell them the same makes them look incredibly fucking stupid. The finger pointing in this case is a detriment.

    Also Trump wasn’t facing 91 indictments in 2016 and his kids are just as fucking stupid as Hunter so pot calling the kettle black

      Hillary actually did something wrong

      Kind of. I think that’s giving them too much credit. The precedent was set with W and many, many others before her.

      I do agree that we should have put a stop to it, but to act like Hillary should have been the first one prosecuted is absurd.

      When you’re on a highway going 72 in a 65, are you doing something wrong? Until it’s understood that the law will be enforced and you’re not just following standard practice, I’d argue that you’re not the one doing wrong.

        Conservatives who believe this wouldn’t have voted for him if this didn’t happen anyway.

        On the other side 91 indictments is also an incredibly potent tool for getting out the vote
