Tom Emmer drops out of contention for House speaker, hours after winning GOP nomination
Rep. Tom Emmer dropped his bid for speaker of the House of Representatives, just hours after he secured the nomination, with former President Donald Trump and dozens of Republican lawmakers expressing opposition to his candidacy.
You're viewing a single thread.
At this rate, to end this shitshow once and for all, I would like to propose a solution that will satisfy everyone and volunteer myself as the Speaker of the House.
- Red blooded all-American woman from the mean streets of Queensland, New York. (Shh...)
- An actor, like the hero of the Republican Party, Ronald Reagan.
- Nominated for an Academy Award for playing a Fox News employee, so probably pretty good at pretending to be a Republican too.
- Expert in Houses (especially of the dream variety)
- Top moderator of a 20K+ member internet community on an obscure technology forum, which is more governing experience than most US Congressmen.
- Usually have good takes on everything.
- Better looking than Marjorie Taylor Green.
I am literally the perfect candidate for the position, vote for Margot!
(But if I can be serious for a moment, this House Speaker thing is getting completely ridiculous.)
Miss Robbie, you have a very packed schedule this year. Should you really be running for political office?
If Trump did it then why not? Can't do worse than him
I don't know when the strike is going to end, so my schedule's pretty empty right now.
You know, my years on reddit have taught me you're a novelty account.
But you're so damn consistent, I half expect to see an interview someday that brings up Robbie's use of Lemmy.
The goal of the republican party is to prove to American voters that government is incompetent. I'd say mission accomplished!
Usually have good takes on everything
Unacceptable. I demand an immediate vote of no confidence whenever a good take is made.
Sigh. As soon as Harley Quinn throws her hat in the ring, they elect some joker.

Lmao, I run a cryptography forum, would that make me more qualified? Checks notes oh right it's republicans, being able to use logic makes you more qualified
