Talks of a possible bipartisan solution to the House Speaker standoff that has created chaos in the Republican caucus are underway, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday.

“There are informal conversations that have been underway. When we get back to Washington tomorrow, it’s important to begin to formalize those discussions,” the New York Democrat said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

When asked what House Democrats might be asking for a deal with House Republicans, Jeffries said his caucus wants “to ensure that votes are taken on bills that have substantial Democratic support and substantial Republican support so that the extremists aren’t able to dictate the agenda.”

    Ending the Biden probe is suicide for the MAGA fascists. Their base has become so radicalised that they can’t keep their seats if they back down one inch from prosecuting the literally evil paedophile cabal led by the Biden/Hillary/Obama hydra. I saw a recent poll that 12% of their base believes that narrative, and if they lose those voters, they’re doomed (their margins are well within that 12%).

    That 12% will not compromise because any concession means conceding to literal demonic paedophiles.

    They’ve hitched their horse to a plague wagon and they’ve no way to dismount without severe consequences. I do not feel bad for them.
