The only way a Democrat would become Speaker of the House is if Kevin McCarthy-loyalists threatened to vote for Hakeem Jeffries if the rest of Republicans don’t join them. That would be really dirty. 🥵🍿
I must have missed a few.
Was hoping McCarthy would lose more.

McCarthy has not gained a *single* vote from yesterday
Still has 20 No votes
The guy can’t close a deal!
CSPAN says The Hill tweeted McCarthy is trying to make a deal with the democrats.

Things get worse for McCarthy. 20 GOPers vote against McCarthy in favor of Donalds. But GOP IN Rep Spartz votes present. So that’s 21 against McCarthy. His support is slipping
Evil continues:
Biden’s FDA Greenlights Pharmacies to Peddle Abortion Pills
‘The FDA’s decision to lower safety regulations on the abortion pill and now make it easier for minors to access seems to have more to do with a political agenda than health and safety... ‘

When becoming Speaker is more important than working for We the People I expect McCarthy would make a deal with the Devil.

JUST IN: Kevin McCarthy has begun talks with Democrats about a deal to support a “consensus candidate” for Speaker. - “THE HILL.”
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why 20 Republicans are standing in opposition to Mr. McCarthy and Paul Ryan’s Fox News Channel.

Is it just me or does this fifth nomination speech attacking the character of McCarthy’s detractors sound as well thought out as telling a woman to calm down? 😂 #Speakerofthehouse
Another day, another lie from Kevin McCarthy.
Just weeks ago, Kevin McCarthy promised me and the entire House Republican caucus that he wouldn’t seek Democrat votes to secure the Speakership.
In fact his people said it was a “doomsday scenario” if this were to happen. pic.twitter.com/nUQhmmKT12— Rep. Matt Gaetz (@RepMattGaetz) January 4, 2023

In Overnight Vote, Buffalo Guy Elected Speaker Of The House
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a shocking overnight vote held by the House of Representatives, the QAnon Shaman, aka “The Buffalo Guy” has received the majority of votes required to become Speaker of the House.
“I mean, at this point, why not?” said Representative Chip Roy. “Maybe we need a guy like this to shake things up.”
After being informed in prison of his surprise election, Buffalo Guy released a statement, saying: “Aw yeah! F-—in’ A, man! Let’s do this thing! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Several Republicans and Democrats in Congress expressed heartbreak over the new Speaker. “He isn’t qualified,” said Congressman Dan Crenshaw. “He doesn’t even know any lobbyists! Pathetic!” Crenshaw then put on his giant squeaky red shoes and ran out of the building sobbing.
Police then released Buffalo Guy and escorted the new leader of Congress to his new office at the Capitol, at which point he lit up a bong and defecated on the desk.
Several Americans polled said they are glad to see the office of Speaker being finally given all the respect it deserves.
