HIGH NOON, part IV, The Election of The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. LIVE!

By popular request, this is another "High Noon" thread LIVE from D.C. in the heart of the Swamp!

Did McCarthy make a deal to get enough support either from the 20-21 hold out Republicans to become Speaker, or to get the Dems to vote present, or not vote, such that he might become Speaker underhandedly?

Will Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) again nominate President Donald John Trump, the rightful President of the United States, to be Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, such that he might return as POTUS after a successful petition for writ of quo warranto to remove Slow Joe and the Ho?

Do the Dems have a token white Congresscritter to nominate Jeffries to show they are a party of ethnic diversity?

Stay tuned to this Bat Channel!

Gosar & Ogles just flipped for McC....

[kjam22]

7 of the 20 still holding out. First vote today is done. I’m going out to cut firewood. :)

[Faith65]

Roy flipped?

“And self serving”

Yeh not like Kevin or anything. 😅

I’d be interested to read what you think constitutes a “genuine Republican,”

After all these votes, those few who obstinately voted for Jar Jar Binks (as reported in today’s Babylon Bee) instead of Kevin McCarthy are Republicans In Name Only. The overwhelming majority are genuine Republicans.

[tennmountainman]

Yeah. Perry folded.

[TexasGator]

“What momentous legislation do you think yer idol Kevin McCarthy would be working on today if there wasn’t a floor fight going on?”

He put out a list inwriting.

[gloryblaze]

I knew we could count on Spartz ultimately, once there was some real progress being made.

Thank you, Victoria!

[tennmountainman]

I’m tuning out and dropping out if McCarthy is Speaker.

[Scrambler Bob]

that’s probably why the folding is going on, darn.

[Faith65]

Fox reporting now that 14 GOP REP-ELECTS flipped to RINO MCcarthy for this last vote.

Sucks.

[Mmogamer]

It’s good to see that the rhinos on free Republic outing themselves. Good job.

[4Liberty]

Of the original 20, the following 7 continue to oppose McC: Biggs, Boebert, Crane, Gaetz, Good, Harris and Rosendale.

[Mathews]

Which is exactly what the party needs. A reckoning. A spotlight shown upon them. Gaetz has nothing to loose and everything to gain because McCarthy is going to stab us in the back at his very first opportunity. When he does, Gaetz is going to have the biggest sh!t eating grin on his face you’ve ever seen. I love this and say it’s about time these worms had the muck pulled off them. They either dig deeper in the manure they lie in, or they get used for fish bait!

[MPB]

The overwhelming majority are genuine Republicans.

This comment is just begging for a link to the "no true Scotsman" wiki page, but I'll resist. :)

[Georgia Girl 2]

You mean like giving another $100 million to the Ukraine or cutting Social Security? 😆

[Dr. Franklin]

Brecheen, Clyde, Bishop, Donalds, Cloud, Luna, Miller, Norman, Perry, Roy, Self, Spartz, Gosar, Ogles all flipped to vote for McCarthy.

Seven remain steadfast against McCarthy and the Swamp: Biggs, Boebert, Crane, Gaetz, Good, Harris, and Rosendale
