* House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy failed in a third vote to secure enough votes to be elected Speaker, throwing the party into into uncertainty.
* After the first ballot resulted in votes for several Republicans, the latest round saw McCarthy’s opponents coalesce around a new contender: Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, a longtime McCarthy ally.
* It is the first time in 100 years that the majority party has failed to coalesce around a candidate for Speaker, and it was uncertain what McCarthy’s next steps would be.

Let it play out. McCarthy is Paul Ryan II. He won't do a damn MAGA thing. If Ryan had played ball fair and square, we wouldn't be having a border crisis now. Why should we expect McCarthy do better than his mentor Paul Ryan.

I guess you missed 1968. That was one crazy year, all things considered.

I'm already missing Nancy's steady hand and beauty queen hair.
I would arrange a date with Nancy, being that her husband has gone for rough trade on the other team, but my current girlfriend Greta Thunberg is holding me back. She will just not let me go and continues to want me as a boyfriend.
I am in such a dilemma. Not sure how this is going to play out.

Really. It would be good if picking the SOTHOR took weeks. Then the GOP can get back to stabbing us in the back.

Republicans showing their inability to lead. “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Perhaps now we see why they failed to win more seats in the house, while failing to win the Senate. They will accomplish nothing, as we see them doing today.
