This horror show looks to finally be ending 

Every day of this session Gaetz will be voting to legalize sex with minors, Boebert will try to legalize taking your pants off outside of a bowling alley (gotta protect her dear hubby), and all sorts of freak show shit.

How many Speakers have won without a House majority? Is it a fairly common occurrence?

[osxmatt]

This night is just getting started.

 

Time to read the entire US Constitution!

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

MSNBC just reported that the vote on the rules package won't occur tonight BECAUSE THE GOP VOTES TO ACTUALLY SUPPORT IT JUST AREN'T THERE!

I mean, why would the ~200 McCarthy voters vote for it?

I do admit I didn’t think the razor thin republican majority would be this funny and stupid but boy I was wrong

Ehhhhhhh - giving Trump credit for "delivering votes" is kind of a stretch there methinks.

Jefferies is bad at this.

I never had reason to watch any of this before today, and I didn't realize how much purely symbolic stuff they do after everybody is sworn in. They pass a resolution to agree to let the president know that a speaker got chosen.

[Jason]

lmao

 

[Ricofoley]

Maybe he meant 1.000%

I honestly think the democrats would have been better off just breaking for McCarthy. Yeah it was fun watching them shit the bed but In the long run letting the terrorists drive the car is going to potentially be a diaster for everyone.

They are going to obstructionists no matter what. They have no real power, other than to get in the way and cause problems. They only make them selves look better for their "base" but less electable in a general election. Have at it.

But correct me if I'm wrong, McCarthy conceded a bunch of shit that gives the terrorists more power than what they would have had otherwise.

He did but those rules iirc still have to be adopted by the house

None of it really matters cause everything has to be voted on, lol.

It was amusing, but all meaningless. Which is what the next 2 years will amount to.

My brother in Vishnu, it's only just begun.

 

Theoretically, this was supposed to be the "easy" vote to win.

 

My fault, I should clarify. I wasn't talking about in general, just the speaker vote. I fully know we're going to have a prime time investigation of Hunter Biden, a call to decertify the election and the impeachment of Biden. 

[Ominous]

So when do the Republican's impeach Biden so we have President Harris?
