the clown show rolls on  ;D

Ho Go Home!!

YIKES — MAGA “stop the steal organizer” Ali Alexander calls “Marge” Greene a “whore” who “played me” and threatens to release evidence she “committed a crime” that will get her expelled from Congress. 👀

a right-winger claiming to have evidence that supports their accusations, and threatening to release it "soon"?  so this means it's totally going to happen, right??

mccarthy has already moved into the speaker's office

he moved in prior to the first round of voting.  i'm sure at the time he thought it was authoritative, now looks like unbridled hubris.

Sidefi advisors is issuing a Buy for the Orville Redenbacher Corporation (NYSE: POP)

Round 12 now done and still no speaker.  house in recess until 10 pm… what a way to spend your friday night.

McCarthy has given away all the power of the speakership - why is he still fighting for a pile of nothing?  can anyone explain how the following isn't going to happen within a month:

1. GOP puts forth some legislation that the ultraMAGA wing doesn't like (ex: a budget that isn't extreme enough for them)
2. per McCarthy's giveaway, any 1 member can call for a vote of no-confidence in the Speaker
3. all 212 Dems, plus at least 6 MAGAts, vote "NEXT!"
4. we're right back where we are now, except no Kevin.  eventually someone emerges with the gavel.
5. go back to step 1.

is being speaker for a week worth all this, kevin?

the six who last voted against McCarthy:

Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona
Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado
Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida
Rep. Bob Good of Virginia
Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana
Rep.-elect Eli Crane of Arizona

Gaetz stating that McCarthy is likely to prevail later tonight, with the return of two pro-Kevin votes… end is in sight?

might not even last a week:

Remember that after the Speaker vote, the House has to approve a rules package - and moderate Rs have talked about teaming with dems to shoot down affirmative action for the Freedom Caucus.

Quite possible that the fight over rules goes on much longer than the fight over speaker

"affirmative action" in this case refers to guaranteed membership on certain committees, i.e. what McCarthy had to give to the MAGAts to get their votes.  so, new scenario:

1. Enough MAGAts get on board with McCarthy and he's elected speaker.
2. House moves on to voting on the rules, which contain clauses by the non-MAGAt GOPers and the Dems to exclude some/all MAGAts from committees.
3. per McCarthy's giveaway, a/some/all MAGAts call for a vote of no-confidence in the Speaker
3. all 212 Dems, plus at least 6 MAGAts, vote "NEXT!"
4. we're right back where we are now, except no Kevin.  eventually someone emerges with the gavel.
5. go back to step 1.

how are those clowns going to pass anything over the next 2 years. other than gas?

Holy shit.

I honestly think they did the math wrong and that present was good enough.  This is so funny.

.

Encore!

15th time is the charm.

damn, Rep Rogers had to be restrained as he looked like he was going to hit Gatez!

I am part-popcorn now
