I feel like even when electing a speaker that the House Republicans are driving trollies
Why is the auto correct changing the word t r o l l i n g to the ‘driving trollies’? And why won’t it let me override it?

No fan of McCarthy but January 7 through October 3 is more than “a few weeks.”

There is a way to write “trolling”, a way known only to TL33 Leaders (and their spouses and close friends) but don’t worry, your meaning was clear.

Jordan has Trump’s and Kevin McCarthy’s full support - what could possibly go wrong?

@beschizza Jordan only received 200 votes in this round, not 212. Jeffries won 212.
(In comparison, McCarthy won 203 votes in the first round back in January)

You have to admire the Republican logic that says “We’ll PROVE we’re not dysfunctional by electing an insurrectionist idiot that half of us loathe to an important office as a show of unity! (eventually)”

Anybody can use the words trolling and moist if they really try.

perhaps a sign that no one in the gop is taking their dysfunction seriously enough.
i listen to npr a bunch on my old timey radio devices, and i’ve been seriously disappointed by their coverage.
while they have regular stories about the speakership vote, i have yet to hear a single one where jordan’s political stances, his support of the insurrection, his history in the house, or the sexual abuse has had any air time
i get that “horse race” articles are easier to write, but i think they ( and much of the rest of media ) have really been failing to educate people about the stakes

Yeah, the writing was on the wall when NPR refused to treat Trump with the appropriate level of horror, revulsion and disgust in 2015. I haven’t been back once ever since.

Cool, cool, Republicans might just manage to vote an insurrectionist into the Speaker of the House job. Keeping proving your entire party is completely rotten, guys! It clearly demonstrates you’re a continuing danger to the democracy of the United States to any voters paying attention.
