Kevin McCarthy failed to get House speaker votes. In fact, Hakeem Jeffries received more than he did

Oh, I agree. Even if the deal was struck and executed, I wouldn’t trust him to hold up the bargain.

I take that back, Jordan has been voting straight McCarthy. I wonder if it’s even possible for a nominee to refuse.

Have they considered nominating Borris Johnston?

Trump has switched horses to Donald. Does that mean no one can win now?

Adjourned until 8:00 PM.

Sounded like the “No” had it to me, to keep them there. But a short break is probably better. Maybe we get lucky and a bunch of GOP end up to drunk to return.

Trump’s endorsement of McCarthy today made zero difference! More evidence that he’s becoming increasingly irrelevant, even among the MAGA crowd:

If past is prologue, then that means McCarthy will finally win.

People are … sick and tired of ‘trust the plan’ that’s a complete secret and never produces results.

Isn’t ‘trust the plan’ a Q thing? Is she disavowing Q here?

Hard to say from the video since the placement of the microphone doubtlessly had a lot to do with how it sounded on the broadcast, but either way it was literally her call to make.

When I watched it it looked like there was some initial uproar over how she called it, but then in response she asked something like “does a member want to hear the yeas and nays?” (which I assume means going to a tedious vote count) and they shut up about it.

Thank you so much for this.
Hot Butter Popcorn was the soundtrack of my childhood.
I was 6 or 7 when it came out, my Mum bought it and we played it to death.

Also, at that age, I thought the record was simply called Hot Butter Popcorn - I didn’t separate the band name from the album.

you can read about Donald’s stance there,

McCarthy is super right wing, and all the rival candidates with the notable exception of Jeffries are ultra right wing.

We’re gonna need some bigger adjectives.

Nah, just the one - “insanely” right wing.
There’s a certain point where the finer details of just how far off the deep end these guys have gone just don’t matter - and the Republicans are pretty close to that, if they aren’t there already.

What do you want?

Vir Cotto:
I’d like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I would look up at your lifeless eyes and wave like this. [gives a mockingly cheerful finger waggle] Can you and your associates arrange this for me, Mr. Morden?
