Democrats should start broadcasting the amount of taxpayer money that is being used to feed the Republican party while they can't figure this shit out.

Pizza bill alone could fund Ukraine, am I right?

If we can keep this going for a few months, maybe the Pubs will just all die of heart attacks and this problem will solve itself

Pretty sure half the party is extending this just for the free pizza.

You know Santos has a backpack or two lined with foil, and is going to town. Just like I used to do my friends used to do at pizza buffets back in the poor college days.

Where did this "flash" thing come from?  I know it goes back to at least the newsreels about WW2, but does anyone know the origin?  I guess I could literally google it right this second, but it's more fun to get bullshit answers from surly.

Why does CNN keep interviewing the choad from Georgia who keeps blaming Dems for this? Stop interviewing him or at least push back Manu!

The most popular huh

[Pato del Muerto 53,607]

Yeah the delta between public and secret ballot voting is very telling. 
 

the very best case for the Rs is that most or all of them know who is against Jordan but must vote for him on the floor for electoral reasons, and they’re all understanding of it because politic’n 
 

the more likely case is that there’s 80 of them using the 20 as human shields.

It's like a Yogi Berra quip. He's so popular nobody will vote him.

He's super popular with people who don't know him and have to "work" with him.

They already tried the stand-on-the-box thing and people just mocked him.

There could not be a more perfect encapsulation of the utterly broken-brained nature of the GQP.  The "most popular Republican in Congress"....did not get popular support.  He's Schroedinger's Fuckhead: both overwhelmingly popular yet unable to win votes at the same time.

It's not that he lost the secret vote, it's that it was so much more of a beating.  194-25 ---> 112-86.
