so who runs the votes now?

As a technical matter someone should make a motion to appoint her as Acting Clerk until such time as new House officers are elected and sworn.

No! Anarchy! I hope someone makes a motion to steal the furniture. There is no one to recognize the speaker or motion.

Time to convene a new Constitutional convention.

Told y’all it was all FAKE. But everyone laps up this fake nonsense all year. Reality tv for dorks.

It’s not fake if the whole reason that the 20 R members against McCarthy are pissed is because he’s directing dark money towards more normal Rs so there won’t be more crazy Rs voting against McCarthy.

In the end, the outcome is the outcome we all knew it would be. All this hemming and hawing is fake theater. A pointless charade.

It’s not anywhere near a fait accompli. We’re it so they’d be voting tonight. The problem is two-fold: (1) Kevin can’t get 218 votes and (2) there seems to be no other Republican who can get 218 votes without Democratic support.

Translation: Bozo reps on all sides are enjoying the charade and all the attention and media hits and viral tweets and spamming donor emails and want to stretch it another day.

Shocking!

This is not a BOTH SIDES issue. The Democrats have their act together enough to decide on and elect leadership. The Rs, not so much.

Republicans can't even manage to convene Congress.

Why would anyone want to be the Speaker in this Congress? A big cult of the Republican caucus will not stand for their Speaker to bring anything to the floor that House Democrats would support, that would pass the Senate, or that Biden would sign. Every procedural vote will require full Republican support and full attendance. Even if they bring up bills with rules that do not allow Democratic amendments, Democrats can use motions to recommit to force Republicans to vote against popular things. The obstructionist do-nothing Republican House is the best thing that happened for Biden and Senate Democrats.

Almost anything coming out of the House without significant Dem bipartisan support will be DOA in the Senate.

And yet the average low information voter will parrot the RW echo chamber and blame Biden and Senate Dems for not getting anything done. We’ve seen this play out with Obama.

Wow I cannot believe it's come to this
