Welcome To Day 1 Of The GOP Majority...Hakeem Jeffries WINS!!! LOL
- Thread starter RayGravesGhost
- Start date
So how's the Cologne Kaepernick workout going?
Has ray ray figured out why Jeffries hasn't been sworn in yet as Speaker? He thinks he won 3 days ago! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Day 4 of ray ray wondering 'Why we are doing this? Yahoo told me Jeffries won this on Tuesday' is underway 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
So on Day 4, after 10 times he was nominated and lost, the dem finally found someone else to nominate Jeffries to lose, of course it is Clyburn 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Serious question, is this the most Speaker votes that a dem has ever lost?
Is Jeffries officially the biggest loser ever for his party?

Speaker election to enter 12th ballot, the most since before Civil War
BY CAROLINE LINTON
UPDATED ON: JANUARY 5, 2023 / 7:48 PM / CBS NEWS
The race for House speaker race remains undecided as Republican leader Kevin McCarthy continued to fail to win a majority in the first 11 rounds of voting, and now as it is set to enter a 12th round, it will have gone to more rounds than any other time since before the Civil War.
According to the House of Representatives, there have been 127 speaker elections since 1789. In the modern era, a nominee needs a majority of the House members voting — 218 if all 435 are present — to become speaker. Members of Congress cannot be sworn in until there's a speaker.
Prior to this week's votes, 14 speaker elections required multiple ballots, with 13 of those occurring before the Civil War. The only time in the post-Civil War era was in 1923, when it took nine tries.
Six of those 14 elections were decided on the second or third ballot, but others took more than that — with the longest election finally ending after nearly two months and 133 ballots.

Civil War? So the last time a dem lost this much, the slaves were freed?

Yep that was the first time white supremacist policies were openly challenged in this country's history
How reminiscent that's what is in question today 😎

BTW all trolling aside, it's pretty shitty that the dems are letting a BLACK man go down in history as the biggest loser in the House since at least the Civil War. They knew all along that no dem could win, but they made the CHOICE to put the BLACK MAN out there to get loss after loss after loss.
Bitter racists to the end. SMDH
Maybe they will step in and stop this. Let's hope so.

malone feels warm & safe now that he's in his racist make believe world.... 🤣
What happened to the maga support of Donald for speaker?
Or was that just another racist GOP Uncle Tom prop like Herschel Walker & Tim Scott?

Accusations of republican on republican crime by one of their own...
This is what the republican party resorts to get a leader...doxxing, threats of violence, lying, etc.
Pretty much maga being maga

Wow, they just sent him out there to lose again.
This is a teachable moment: Notice what the pubs did: They nominated a black man, let him have multiple chances to win the vote, then pulled him.
Because they weren't trying to embarrass the black man. What the dems are doing now is sending a message.
And the racists in their party hear it loud and clear. Jeffries will go down in history as one of the biggest losers ever in politics.
This is exactly why I will never support this party.
Looks like the racist Hi Akeem Jefffferrriiieesss lost a vote.
No need to...
The "holdouts" have pretty much taken everything off of McCarthy's corpse...
