OMGosh.....He’s Henry the Eight, he is!
Now, what?
Hoping Chip Roy does NOT cave!!
As of now, lots of uncertainty about what’s next.
Could be 9th ballot
House rs would like to adjourn but don’t think they have the votes.
The leadership operation is trying to turn some votes on adjournment now.

And we’re underway with the 9th round.
Going for ballot #9.
Rep. from TX is nominating McCarthy.
I don’t know who he is.
That is Troy Nehls.
Another WORTHLESS RINO!!
He’s my sister’s Rep. Ran as a conservative....and, she says they never see/hear from him, since he was elected.
He was a little tough on border stuff....for a while.
I guess he’s all in, on the grift, now 😡
Is losing EIGHT times, not enough, for McSwampthy???
but doing the math gets squirrely. They have a solid 212 for Jefferies...how many can stay away and still have Jefferies get a win ?
enough could stay away to force the 20-21 to do something.
One would think some of the Repubs McCarthy backers might stay away but the repubs don't have that luxury because Jeffries has a solid 212...
and I am out of popcorn
McCarthy-Luntz warns that not voting for him will stop/slow funds to Ukraine.
Can you believe it?
I posted this, on that thread....
That should seal his fate, then, as a HUGE NO!!
It’s probably code, to all of the other DC grifters.
If this doesn’t wake folks up....as to what this is really all about....we’re beyond lost.
General Lee would work. He was a GREAT general. I am referencing his strategy and tenaciousness.
<>McConnell has shown his true colors by passing that last bill...without a fight<>
fixed.
That describes my sister-in-law EXACTLY. And she went fast.
Hilarious!!
“There’s an obvious unity candidate for the Speakership”
Aw, the guy that had his luggage stolen after flying in. And the only store open was a Big 5.
Stage 4 isn’t ALWAYS an immediate death sentence. In May 2018, I was diagnosed as Stage 4 with my blood cancer. As of 6 months ago it wasn’t present anywhere in my body.
“Trump has now tied John Quincy Adams for the most Speaker votes cast for a former president.”
Trump is always setting records.
Just got back from town. Had to pick up a FedEx package, drop off a UPS package, and took the dog for a walk along the river. It is a beautiful day today, lots of people out walking. Well, ok, 5. And that includes me. But it’s a small town.
