Choosing a new Speaker is apparently causing some legislators to lose their cool if you believe sources out of their latest meeting.

What is going on?! 😅 pic.twitter.com/ZSunvd105O
Sigh. This process is turning into quite the conundrum.
Bost is an embarrassment.

Blowhard Bost.

Listen, no matter how frustrating another Republican might be, it's embarrassing an adult is unable to keep their temper under control.
I have long thought that many of our political problems could be solved if people stepped into a boxing ring for a couple of rounds.

Don’t care that it’s uncouth and politically incorrect. We’re way too coddled in this country. https://t.co/rpKKMUrYRN
Then again, maybe a few rounds of boxing might help everyone to get out their aggression and then they would be ready for some productive compromise.
I'm so sick of all of them. Seriously. https://t.co/9e6rINJf6M

What a bunch of children. How embarrassing. Fight him for what?! Standing up for his constituents and following through on what he said he would do if the rules weren’t followed. They gave McCarthy his chance he blew it. https://t.co/7iNMN207jr

Honestly at this point, why not? No one is serious about their job, so might as well put on the gloves and make it interesting. We are an unserious people and deserve unserious leaders. https://t.co/UGCGwCV3ro

Maybe we are getting the government we deserve.
Where’s this level of passion when the people of America are being harmed so maliciously by our government? https://t.co/fAcyA62OOx

Are these people 12 years old or what?? https://t.co/GMwn9RyxB5

Honestly, there are 12 year olds who could compromise better than these folks.
They'll fight anyone except Democrats.

Sigh. It sure would be nice for them to turn all this righteous anger toward the actual opponent and work on behalf of the American people.
