Who would want to put themselves forward as speaker of the house right now?

Republicans seem obsessed with ousting their own members rather than getting on with the job of passing bills.

Passing bills to do what?

IMO, the malicious bomb throwers have grown too numerous and too powerful for anyone in the Republican party to even keep the lights on.

The good news is that Democrats and some Republicans are trying, and that there are actually some issues, like Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine which cut across party lines.

@independentone I would love to see a more stable middle rest with less bloodshed, and less Netanyahu and right wing zealots in charge on Israel for that matter, but cutting off all US support for Israel seems like an awfully big move.

It might even be the right one, but I'd want lots of people exploring the ramifications before making it.

Even Newt Gingrich is disgusted with them.

@beckyromero I saw that. It's like we're living in a dystopian novel sometimes.

They have no desire to govern. They are obstructionists.

Just let a D have the gavel. The Rs are acting like acting like children to impress trump. Get a few Rs with connected brain cells to do anything other than shut down Congress to vote with the Ds.

It is also a delaying tactic because now they have to find and put a new one in place before anything else can be done

We the people don't need a speaker in a Republic like this. We get what they have planned.

They're going to keep kicking out moderate Republicans until all that's left is MAGA cultists.
