Maybe someone can confirm this, but I vaguely recall from my family tour of DC in '76 and class trip in the mid-eighties that the DC Metro had some kind of system in place where trains were stopped and members of Congress routed to a special thing that would take them to the Capitol building if a vote was called. Basically the tour guides warned us that our train would be stopped if there was a vote called.
So the House R's voted as a block to save Hegseth. No surprise, they're incapable of doing the right thing. The Senate likely wouldn't vote to remove him anyway.
The only meaningful thing is that Jefferies couldn't get the Dems in for the vote. I hope the House Dems take note of his ineffectiveness go go for fresh leadership.
On a related note, House Republicans voted for Gym Jordan as their Minority Leader.
DC traffic, am I right? Ditch your fucking car and get on the Metro, just like your constituents do, so they can show up at work and not get fired. Who knows how many people that crazy peacock will kill between now and Jan 3rd
Honestly, I'm not super fussed about this, because let's wait til we actually get the new majorities in to really put the boots to him. Can't trust a republican majority with any of this shit,
Let us do a cursory examination of those Dems who missed the vote, and whether they would be likely to support a Speaker Jeffries, and see what conclusions, if any, may be drawn from that.
As they say, he knows where the bodies are buried. He's never backed down. He's probably a savage poker player.
We have been played right in our faces for two years, each day worse than the last. I understand the frustration and the leadership should, too. Show us you are on "team fight", even if the results aren't going to be what you want.
OT: Hill reporter decided to rub some salt in the wound: Peltola has since passed the combined round 1 votes for Dan Sullivan AND Dan J. Sullivan even if you added them together! https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6212734-peltola-leads-both-dan-sullivans-alaska-senate-race-2026/
"They had an opportunity to finally get rid of this buffoonery that we have, and they failed."
How would a successful House vote "get rid" of anything?
And why didn't they just wait until January anyway, when this would have been a slam dunk?

Postponing the inevitable is what passes for tired of winning at this point in the administration.
Military base housing for cabinet members and administration fuckwads.
Pup tents down by the river for servicemen and their families.
This administration definitely have their priorities straight . . .
fuck kegsbreath
his time is running out
tick tock motherfucker
Clearly Rs learned nothing from the blue wipeout. They are a solid cult that will not end. They need to be thrown overboard into obscurity.

There's a great possibility they counted the votes and said fuck it.
Honestly, I'm not super fussed about this, because let's wait til we actually get the new majorities in to really put the boots to him. Can't trust a republican majority with any of this shit,
no, this was a chance for Dem leadership to send a message, you voted for us ,we'll do the job. Hakeem's Team fucked it up
Pointing a finger at Jeffries whose job as leader is to pull his caucus together! WITAF?
I’ll be calling Pelosi’s office, but all the good it will do. {shaking my damn head}
Some trumpers probably also caused the traffic incident.
Governor Christie closing the bridge.

I think we all know why Stevens wasnt around, but I am wondering about this "traffic" incident that took out a few reps.
When I have thought about this "missed opportunity" the more I think it is basically a wash.
A shot across the bow.
A tactful reminder current crime will be even more robustly documented.
Current time better spent protecting and finding witnesses as well as gathering documentation and evidence.
Ultimately I think time will be better spent sharpening pig sticks . . ..
Give these guys and gals more time to "cover their tracks" as they are certain to dig their hole's deeper.
I believe that was reasoning for Merrick Garland and the DOJ.
I was going to say below, we are tired of waiting.
Robert Mueller will get him.
Garland has him nailed.
Jack Smith has him dead to rights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack Smith definitely would have got him, that wasn't his fault, but it only adds to the frustration.
🎯 Well said.
I wholey support Jack Smith reopening those investigations, and getting to a normal fucking court. We have so much work to do with SCOTUS as well.

Merrick who?
Wasn't he the Elephant Man?
no, no.... he wasn't an animal, he said so!
You’ll never guess where they were

(Having a new member orientation party for those who don’t want to click on an X link)
It’s reasons many in the party are saying “just TRY for new leadership. For the love of fuck”
Dem motto #2 is "Never try, that's what cringe PR in Kente cloth is specifically designed for."
So they were drunk?
