The government doesn’t shut down over this. The House just can’t do any business before the Speaker is elected, which means Congress cannot pass any bills until the issue is resolved.

Let’s imagine for a minute the kinds of things that could happen, virtually instantly as far as outside observers are concerned, that would make having no Congress a problem.

This is really not a good situation.

There is no imminent danger to our republic. The nation was far more destabilized after the 2020 election.

Am I the only one of us who lived through 9/11?

Jan 6th was much more a threat vs 9/11

I hope the movers haven't gone home. I would vote against him just for doing that.

Not fake. It's brinkmanship to extract concessions from the future Speaker. We'll end up with McCarthy moving to the right (making more concessions to the Freedom Caucus) for the privilege of becoming Speaker of the House. Not good for the country, but it's not like there's any better viable candidate.

Oh he’s been humiliated so many times. He had an affair with another MOC which kept him from the Speakership last time. And he was caught on tape saying that the Benghazi investigations were only about Hillary’s poll numbers, and that Putin pays Trump.

Former House member Lindsay Graham, everyone.

Must be worried that power is slipping out of his grasp. He contributed to the dysfunction. Reap what you sow.

How is this okay?! I mean, I know Hannity had a direct line to the TFG and made policy recommendations to him, but this is just so inappropriate. How is this "news"? I've lived in countries with state-controlled media and this is what the Hannity Show sounds like.

Hi, you must be new here. No joke - Fox News has been state tv for a very long time. It is literally why we are in the trouble we’re in right now.

Lindsey Grah is full of it as usual

9/11 was a terrible attack from outside. 1/6 was the GOP’s continued assault on the US getting more violent.

He doesn’t want it because he knows that documentary is coming out about him soon.

Do tell. What documemtary? I hope it goes into great detail about his ignoring reports of sexual abuse by wrestling coaches. Ole Gym looks like a pedophile.

Not clear there are meaningful concessions to give. He’s already caved to allow a single member to seek a vote on his removal.

Matt Gaetz sent a letter to the Architect of the Capitol, asking why McCarthy is allowed to occupy the Speaker's Office. Gaetz calls him a "squatter."

That exactly. George Clooney is producing a doc I think for HBO Max that goes into Jordan allegedly ignoring a Michigan State gymnastics level shitshow with wrestling at Ohio State.
