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!

Don’t tune out. He’s probably going to be Speaker but this deal he’s about to cut with the conservatives will keep his mischief to a minimum.

Separating the wheat from the chaff. Trouble is the GOP is almost entirely made up of chaff.

Aye...

Again - thanks for the update. Very helpful!

No one is cutting Social Security.

Money to Ukraine...you're not going to stop it....no matter who is Speaker or which party holds the hammer.

Inflation alone is cutting social security.

But an extra trillion here or there is nothing compared to the ongoing jab/Remdesivir murders, impending CBDC and sacrifice of sovereignty to the UN/WHO, digital identity/social credit score tracking, etc.

This drama is a conservative version of distraction from that.

[Leep]

After a long “hard” battle involving paper cuts, maybe a broken finger nail or two.. wrinkles in their pants creases... and their $500 hair cuts a little must up ..they will elect McCarthy.

They can’t stand to hear the truth. They know what they are but it shames them to hear it from others.

[Cowman]

The only way they should trust McCarthy is if they I inject him with the thing they put in Snake Pliskins neck in that great documentary about NYC

Who's live thread should we be using? This is the most popular, but you may post wherever you please.

... [McCarthy's] probably going to be Speaker but this deal he’s about to cut with the conservatives will keep his mischief to a minimum.

Atta girl! That's what I hoped would happen today. People would sober up, declare victory, and face reality.

The overwhelming majority of Republican representatives (and voters) unite to vote for common causes, even when they compromise. We see this in most modern elections; it is very rare for a party to lose the majority of its base in a vote; ergo the majority is the genuine version of the party, not some supposed pure minority strain.

[OSHA]

And crushes McCarthy openly in his nomination speech!

[Yo-Yo]

I’m stealing this.

Go ahead, I did (from Twitter.)

However, given the last vote for Speaker, where there's only 7 holdouts left, it's Use By date is fast approaching...

While not quite a senior citizen yet I’ll tell you seeing my niece and nephew as they are now with their own young families - they are just fine with where this country is headed. It’s very sad. They don’t get it! Both very smart kids but dumb when it comes to politics. Influenced, sadly, by my VERY LIBERAL sister. GRRR.

[OKSooner]

It would appear that “By G-d” fiesty young Lauren Boebert is in it to the finish.

Maybe six others; we’ll see in time. Stay tuned. Gotta say that one is sorry to see the others break ranks like that, especially the guy from my State.

Fox News is totally run by Eddie Munster and Hannity is a brazen Venal ho, as if there was ever any doubt in the matter.
