OpenStars ( @OpenStars@kbin.social ) 75•9 months agoAside from the content, I want to take a moment to appreciate how this has such an informative title!:-)
Heratiki ( @Heratiki@lemmy.ml ) 22•9 months agoNo doubt. Succinct and accurate with little flair.
TheaoneAndOnly27 ( @TheaoneAndOnly27@kbin.social ) 17•9 months agoThe anti-clickbait.
kboy101222 ( @kboy101222@lemm.ee ) 12•9 months agoHere, I’ll fix it:
Oh no! Jim Jordan loses the Speaker vote for a third time! You won’t believe how many hold outs there were!
Followed by 10 paragraphs of SEO ridden, AI generated drivel that buries the answer to the point you give up on finding it
OpenStars ( @OpenStars@kbin.social ) 3•9 months agoTune in at 11 to find out how! … to access our video on the subject, which points to another webpage, which again links to a video, that again goes to a different story, hey this all seems familiar somehow…? :-P
It’s our own damn fault I suppose, for engaging with it and thus not just allowing but outright making/encouraging it to happen.:-(
Not that that excuses them for doing it though:-(.
Heratiki ( @Heratiki@lemmy.ml ) 1•9 months agoAh yes the “insert news org here” special.
squiblet ( @squiblet@kbin.social ) 40•9 months agoThe idea of Jordan being speaker was one of the stupidest and most offensive ideas they’ve come up with recently, so it’s nice that it isn’t working out.
demonquark ( @demonquark@lemmy.ml ) 34•9 months agoI read somewhere that a group of 55 republicans who plan to make sure he gets less votes every round. To rub in how much they don’t want him.
stolid_agnostic ( @stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml ) 13•9 months agoSomehow this is until fault of democrats, surely. /s
Leate_Wonceslace ( @Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•9 months agoIt’s because they won’t vote for him, obv.
some_guy ( @some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ) 11•9 months agoThose numbers are going in the wrong direction, guy. I think you should bow out. But I hope you’re dumb enough to keep going.
Repubs are the greatest impediment to progress. Dems are the second greatest.
flipht ( @flipht@kbin.social ) 6•9 months agoThen again, maybe if he keeps going he will unite everyone behind the banner of “Not Gym Jordan,” which is a great service he’s able to provide us.
krolden ( @krolden@lemmy.ml ) 1•9 months agoWhat progress would be happening if they did name a speaker?
slurpeesoforion ( @slurpeesoforion@startrek.website ) 8•9 months agoGym Jordan feels like what everyone wished Ted Cruz could feel.
angelsomething ( @angelsomething@lemmy.one ) 7•9 months ago13 to go I guess.
Dagwood222 ( @Dagwood222@lemm.ee ) 6•9 months agoIf this was ‘House of Cards’
Dems would offer Blue state GOPs who voted for Jeffries easy wins in November. The ten or so voted he’d need would be offset by loses in other states.
Cethin ( @Cethin@lemmy.zip ) English5•9 months agoI don’t know if that’s a good idea honestly. First, they’d be giving up winnable seats in the future. Second, it’d be Democrats in charge of a republican controlled house. Sure, they could put up things they want for a vote, but stupid people would now think they’re responsible for the nothing that gets done. Letting Republicans tear each other apart is probably better politically without major concessions.
Dagwood222 ( @Dagwood222@lemm.ee ) 3•9 months agoThere are no good options as long as the MAGoos have any power.
krolden ( @krolden@lemmy.ml ) 1•9 months agoI hope they keep this up for another year
Pyr_Pressure ( @Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca ) 3•9 months agoWon’t the government be shutting down in like 3 weeks if they don’t choose a speaker?
qyron ( @qyron@sopuli.xyz ) 1•9 months agoIf this was similar to the pope election, there would be a good deal of black smoke floating in the air.
And things are getting bleaker for the runner at every new round.
