    I'm not even following this that closely.

    People are free to vote for what they want, if it doesn't meet the threshold then it doesn't. That's why they put it to a vote.

    I see, you just want to burn it down, because, well, reasons. Okay then. May I ask, while you and your friends are busy burning it all down and punishing the GOP establishment, can you please leave the rest of us out of it? Please don't drive the world economy off the cliff by causing the government to default for Christmas 2023... Please!

    Yes, by not electing a certain guy speaker of the house, the world economy is going to melt down (more than it already has the last 2 years)

    A former Republican Congressman said they really need a Nancy Pelosi.

    I agree, but like the old saying says, "The devil you know. " At least we kinda know McCarthy, but I'm afraid that whomever they elect instead could be even worse..ie, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz ?

    Jim Jordan doesn't want to be speaker. He wants to chair Judiciary committee and use it for revenge. Impeach Biden. Investigate, so called, Hunter's laptop, Hillary's emails, Dr. Fauci, Russia investigation, anyone else on hit list

    They will likely do that with or without Jordan.

    I don't know who is more desperate for Donald Trump to love him. Donald Jr or Matt Gaetz.

    The Republicans are going to do all of that. They need to deflect badly. It will be a clown show.

    2 previous holdouts have just voted for McCarthy on the 12th ballot...looks like they're finally getting close to ending this shit show.

    He would be the weakest speaker in history. Already showed he will bend to any bully. That he has no principles, no politics, no spine, no guts, no soul.

    What? Another "It's not our fault, it's the Democrats fault!" Speech.

    I didn't see that coming after vote.....checks notes....number 12.

    Alot of smart people turned stupid in 2016. A rabbit hole unlike anything we've ever seen before.

    With these concessions McCarthy is giving, like allowing more members of the "Freedom Caucus" to serve on the House Rules Committee, if I'm a moderate Republican I'm starting to think about not voting for McCarthy. But I'm sure they still will, fucking joke.
