Matt BlazeIn the next round, only those representatives who paid $8 for verified member status will be permitted to cast votes for House Speaker.
JillZ@mattblaze lol. Good one
Lisa Plattner@mattblaze I knew it! Elon bought the GOP!
iar81b@LisaZP @mattblaze very funny
2xfoSo he wanted to own the libs but he bought the GOP? Are they all this confused?
@RnDanger @mattblaze That’s my take on it…
Dannyboyguyman@mattblaze skin in the game, it's only fair

@mattblaze if you're going to just outright challenge @Popehat like this you'd better be willing to consistently bring your A game 
Dr. Ruchira S. Datta@mattblaze Yeah, good one. The subtle allusion to the Santos mess makes it particularly apt.
Heike
Karen Strickholm@mattblaze Bwhahahahaha!!!
TopKnotCan't we just do a poll on Mastodon and accept that a #Republican serial liar will be the next Speaker. I believe that is all that is left in the GOP so it's a good bet!

Arachnid-Telaviv@mattblaze apparently based off the reporting of negotiations, the speaker gavel is being sold for campaign contributions or rather a promise to not get involved in campaigns. This is oligarchy.
Seph Harrison@mattblaze Make it a cage match and sell tickets, I bet we could pay off the national debt if they did that.
Silvia Rasmussen@mattblaze please don’t give them any ideas.
