With this 20 being of the "burn it down" mindset, I'm not looking for much in the way of the production of meaningful legislation.

Again, let's be realistic.

ALMOST ANYTHING passed by the GOP majority in the house will NOT be passed in the senate.

Your idea of "meaningful legislation" is likely quite different than mine, despite similar motivations.

I'm not speaking to "the type of person he is".

I'm speaking to what I believe is a repudiation of MAGA, or at the very least no fear in going-up against radical MAGA or fearing Trump's wrath.

I just need to see the concrete steps. I dont see any actual repudiation of maga.
 
Donald is nominated, again, the BIG 20 isn't rolling over, not giving an inch, not even an olive branch.

That's the spirit !!!
I was very disappointed when Bobblehead was narrowly re-elected, but it's nice to see her contributing to GOP disunity.

Hope Kevin McCarthy likes the underside of the bus, cause that's where Boebert just threw him!

Bernie respects the Constitution and the democratic electoral process. That puts him miles ahead of Jordan and most Republicans.

I like that they nominate someone, puff them up and forget about them 24 hours later.

GOP loyalty on display.
DJT....that noted doyenne of loyalty to himself......must be spinning in his political grave.
 
Uhhh how long is this going to go on for? Why are they wasting everyone's time? what a circus!
 
Vote #6, failure #6... this is becoming a history book entry moment on a handful of MAGA Republicans destroying just being able to vote a Speaker in because of all the special privileges they want to treat the House as their personal revenge tour attack facility.
