I had the same thought! I don't think I could lose that many times publicly and keep going.

Abject desperation.

The perfect qualities for speaker of the house. 🙄🙄

This drama is really intoxicating….. I for one can’t wait for the curveball when……… Kevin McCarthy becomes speaker of the house. Womp, womp. Fake and lame theatrics.

what? what did I miss?

Nominated Trump, of course.

you could knock me down with a feather. what the actual f*ck.

He's done it before. No idea why his mouth is so firmly attached to Trump's posterior, still.

Do we think this is part of a bigger plan? Or Gaetz being Gaetz.

It’s how he gets clicks and $

I rest my case.

Even MTG is like WTF, Matt?

Ken Buck has not voted in rounds 9-11.

He had to leave due to an appointment, won't be back for a couple of days. Several other Republicans apparently can't be there in the coming days either. Will McCarthy be able to force adjournment votes?

Would that put Jeffries over 50%?

No, it would take something like a dozen absent Republicans before Jeffries's 212 votes would constitute a majority.

It could make it so that he only needs 4 Republicans to join his ticket instead of 6, but I'm not sure that actually changes anything.

I know right now there’s no urgent business for the House. But what happens if this is a presidential year and Congress needs to certify the presidential election? What if this goes past January 20 when the president is supposed to be sworn in? Will we not have a president?

As it is, staffers won't be paid on the 13th if this doesn't resolve. That is a lot of 23-26 year olds living paycheck t paycheck, who will need to turn to something else to garner income.

House staffers get paid on the last day of the month.

Greene or Boebert should be speaker of the house

I have COVID and had a bad headache and have felt out of sorts so I haven’t been able to read. What is going on? Anyone care to give a quick summary because I can’t read 77 pages of posts.

They should have learned to code.
