Of course….it’s Joe Biden’s fault the majority can’t elect a Speaker.
Whatever was I thinking.

Welp. It’s Joe Biden’s fault that this country is F-Ed up!
And the House is irrelevant, you know that. Because anything they would do would be dead in the Senate or vetoed by Biden.
You would think Paul would be happy about this because it stops any Biden impeachment in its tracks.
Just don’t forget about those documents in the garage or the $20 million sent to Biden by adversarial governments.

I love that no one cares about US military bases under fire when a D is in office. It’s weird….

Maybe a handful of reasonable Republicans could join with the Dems and elect Jeffries.

Hope you’re trying to be funny here? Sarc font? If the shoe was on the other foot, I would think this would be the dumbest thing the democrats could do. Sure you’d feel the same.

Also, don’t think you would call them “reasonable” democrats at that time. No, they would be idiots and I would agree.

Well, that certainly explains the R's hold on over 300 senior military officer who are awaiting promotion. All the D's fault. It's very weird.

Yes, it was offered sarcastically. But these are strange times.

Yeah, the chain of command will remain.

Jeez you’re dumb.

Having spent some time with people like this, you'll pardon me if I go with their evaluation of the situation, and not yours.

This week, some of the military’s most senior leaders took the issue head on and voiced their concerns. They said the damage the holds will do to the military will be felt for years, as young talented officers decide they’ve had enough and choose to get out.

“We’re on the fringe of losing a generation of champions,” Air Force Gen. Mark Kelly, the head Air Combat Command, told reporters this week at a defense conference in Maryland. Kelly said he’s talking to his junior officers, many with families, and they are “people who will take a bullet for the nation, the Constitution.” But when it comes to dragging their family through this, “there’s a red line.”

Pretty sure the rank and file will be fine with or without their stars. You’re inventing crisis’ that don’t exist.

Not me inventing. Senior military leaders. But what do they know...
