If McCarthy becomes speaker, he won’t last long
The FOX News fanboys and McCarthy cheerleaders are all a flutter about this. Embarrassing.
McTurd should never have been considered
Seems rather obvious
Trying to force a square into a round hole
The GOPe working its magic. AGAIN!
If the vote was 198 for a true Conservative, does anyone
here actually think the GOPe would be heralding the damage
being done as they held out for two years?
Crickets...
This has never been more true: No one is safe while the legislature is in session.
Good.
Speaker of my heart
Robber with no soul
Kevin, why can’t you go?
I wait patiently
Our hearts cries out
Pain inside
please Kevin just go
We wait patiently
We want Kevin home
where the Going gets rough
Come back, come back, come back Newt
We’ve had enough
Give us a king
Happy again
Hear our cry
And ease our pain
We want Kevin homee
Where the going gets rough
Come back, come back, come back Newt
We’ve had enough
Give Us King
Hear our cry
Just go away, Kev, And ease our pain
OK.
I think that the Conservatives have wrung just about every drop of water from this stone that they are going to get.
Now may be the time for them to accet the numerous concessions that they have rightfully forced McCarthy to concede and just vote “present” in the next vote for Speaker. If I understand it, by voting “present” it lowers the threshold for the number of positive votes required for Speaker.
The MAGA Caucus gets to save face, McCarthy gets his dream job (for as long as he can hold onto it), and the rules of the House have been shifted ever so slightly back to sanity.
Am I wrong?
McCarthy is experiencing the consequences of being a less than honest dirtbag at times.
Listening to garbage from the democrats…..the party of Hakeem, Escobar, Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Talib, Aguilar. Incidentally, Escobar who just nominated Hakeem again, finished in Spanish
These articles leave out actual news.
What was the actual vote count?
Which Representatives voted for other than Hakeem or McCarthy?
Which ones switched to McCarthy after voting against him earlier?
These articles write as if Congress is a black box.
Wake me after Kevin fails to get a majority after the 57th vote.
13th time the charm?
12 bags with thirty pieces of silver in each
If there was any leadership in the GOP at all they’d have had all this sorted before the first vote. All the backroom stuff to get a candidate to get the votes. The fact that they’re basically at “well what if he promises to never wear a bowtie?” supposed deal making should embarrass all of them.
So he peeled off some opponents. No spines there.
Give it to Nanzi or the camel jockey. At least they know what the hell they are doing!!!
Still a long long way from the record.
Of course the record was only about 5-6 years from the Civil War.
Maybe we are closer than we think.
I think he’s losing the 13th too. Maybe the ink isn’t quite dry on the deal. Or maybe they want Kevin to sign in blood. 😆
