Twitter is having a bonza time poking fun at the ineptitude of House Republicans as they trip over their outsized egos in a graceless and madcap grab for power. May this gleeful collection of tweets induce smiles, chuckles and laugh-out-load guffaws!
A really good person, while watching the election for Speaker, would not be swooning with schadenfreude while eating her body weight in popcorn, but there is no one matching that description here.

The best part about Matt Gaetz nominating Donald Trump for Speaker is it means Trump has lost ANOTHER election.

Trump loses another election. This time, he received only one vote for Speaker. Will he claim election fraud? https://t.co/azd5QCHkxM

Talk about a rigged election. My man Hakeem Jeffries has now won three times and he's STILL not Speaker. STOP THE STEAL!!!!

Republicans are always complaining that we should “stop counting votes” and announce the election results. Let’s give them what they want and install Speaker Jeffries. pic.twitter.com/URD6rWXfXr

Is one expected to find a new "first day of school" outfit for each day of a Speaker election? Or after a certain number of days is one allowed to come in sweats?
