UPDATE posted around 12:36 am EST:
Kevin McCarthy won the House speakership during the 15th round of voting this week which began late Friday night and spilled over into Saturday after the clock struck midnight. He earned 216 votes.
Andy Biggs of Arizona, Eli Crane of Arizona, Bob Good of Virginia, and Matt Rosendale of Montana, who had previously voted against McCarthy in the first 14 rounds, each voted present in the 15th round, which lowered the threshold McCarthy needed to secure victory — Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Matt Gaetz of Florida, who had switched to present in the 14th vote, voted present again for the 15th round.
Original story below:
For the 14th time this week, Kevin McCarthy has come up short in his quest to clinch the House speakership.
He came closer than he had all week by earning 216 votes — he would have locked up a win if he had been able to reach 217.
Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Matt Gaetz of Florida, who had previously voted against McCarthy in the first 13 rounds, voted present during the 14th vote.
Andy Biggs of Arizona, Eli Crane of Arizona, Bob Good of Virginia, Matt Rosendale of Montana, who had all voted against McCarthy on the first 13 rounds, voted against him again in the 14th round.
A group of more than a dozen Republicans voted against McCarthy in 11 votes this week, including three votes on Tuesday, three on Wednesday, and five on Thursday. Nineteen Republicans opposed McCarthy in the first two votes, but that number increased to 20 when Byron Donalds of Florida, who had voted for McCarthy twice, switched and voted against McCarthy on the third vote.

I’m not talking about McCarthy stopping Trump from running for President.
Trump got involved in brokering a deal with McCarthy and the hold outs
regarding the rules package.
I talking about McCarthy backtracking on passing the rules package that
Trump helped broker. Thus stabbing Trump in the back….again.
Am I a little clearer?
You can always tell from the typical MO of ending each post with a snarky jab intended to goad you into making a reply. Then his next post is as short dismissive with another goading jab.
It's intended to drive you away from the discussion and into frustration to the point that you just stop engaging in the subject.

Not to mention that No one else even *wanted* the job.
I almost think that some of these agitators are AI, programmed to stir up trouble.
There were others who wanted the job HOWEVER McCarthy REFUSED to drop out and open the field, those that may have wanted the job didn’t dare express that to ANYONE due to fear of repercussions McCarthy SUCKS, his utter selfishness in this process was disgusting!!
That is exactly what the left says when Pelosi caves to the wacko left. Kinda proves my point.
Reality vs the language of perception.
I think you mean “skank.”
If the 17th was repealled then maybe, just maybe, people would care about who their state reps are. Most don’t know their names.
“Trump the serial five times loser...”
What are you talking about? He’s only run for elective office twice in his life. He won the first time. I won’t even get into it with you about whether he won the second time. Either way, your math doesn’t add up.
“I understand what you mean about the 17th, but do you know what repealing it would mean? No ore conservatives or even moderates in the Senate. State legislatures would never pick anybody to the right of Romney, and maybe not even that far”
Why do you say that?
If we had a border wall Mayorkas would let all the invaders in anyway. You need to think of a better plan.
I don’t write at less than an 8th grade level.
Sorry, can’t help you.
Good luck on your future studies though. Hang in there, you can make it and maybe even graduate High School someday.
You can keep writing at kindergarten level for as long as you like. Just don’t expect anyone to take you seriously.
Not if it’s the republicans
They did nothing in 2016-18 but thwart Trump
Worthless
We are not represented
At the same time those who tried to stop the cultural rot were endlessly attacked, mocked and vilified, coast to coast, by a vile media owned and staffed by vicious perverts, pedophiles and filthy, lying criminals while concurrently vile, inner-city thugs and retards were elevated as people to praise and emulate. Boy oh boy, did America's youth take that bait!
Not enough decent people stood up against the evil swine. In fact, most of the "decent" people joined in the evil in one capacity or another.
I believe that the final battle that irreversibly finished off these once-United States was the 2020 steal. That travesty should have led to coast-to-coast mass rebellion against the leftist/RINO/globalist filth who selected Biden in spite of what Americans voted for. That brazen crime should have led to a reclamation of government for the people and by the people. But it didn't.
Back to Netflix, porn, watching sports, eating junk food and figuring out where I'll get my new, pagan-looking face tatt! I'm also thinking of having my skin dyed black because I hate myself for being an evil, oppressive, patriarchal, heterosexual, Christian male. . . (sarc)
I tell my non-leftist friends (I have no other kind anymore) to band together, stick with people who have the same values you have, form enclaves of such people and get on with enjoying yourself and living a good life. Sooner or later the world being created by the demonic left will collapse in fury, death and mayhem and you don't want to be anywhere near the leftist-run cities when it inevitably does. I also tell them to get trained and armed so they can defend themselves from the violent filth that'll be swarming out of the cities when that breakdown happens.
In other words, instead of being "scattered to the four winds" we must simply band together and thrive.
From my direct experiences I say that the vast majority of leftists seriously lack hands-on skills (or any useful skills of any sort) and could not survive on their own if the lights went out in civilization. On the other hand, non-leftists, and especially conservatives, are far more likely to have such skills.
Well that didn't take long.
Pelosi priorities are
#1 Power for herself
#2 Money for her spouse and herself
#3 Money to buy all other congress critters, R & D. (See #1)
#4 Woke ideology. She caves to the woke to advance #1.
...Can you name anyone else who has fewer losses then your ‘5-time loser’?
