McCarthy probably seals it soon, just without the support of Boebert, Gaetz, Biggs, and Good

Is it really good worth the humiliation? What’s the point for McCarthy to be Speaker when he will be powerless and can potentially be removed easily :celestial5:

Repubs know how to waste time, they're almost a case study in the tenacity of traitors of state. The antiprogressive Hakeem can kicks rocks still btw.

I agree that it’s healthy for leadership to be challenged (Hakeem Jeffries is a terrible leader) but at the end of the day: you shouldn’t go days of grandstanding and backstabbing on live tv. You have to get down to the business of GOVERNING, and this isn’t really even governing, electing a speaker is the bare minimum. 
 

2-3 roll call votes of dem leadership being challenged? I’d be down for that in the future. But 12+ roll call votes and going on a week and not being able to do the bare minimum? It’s not good 

That’s still no reason to vote for bad speakers who are unfit for the job, whether it’s McCarthy, Pelosi, or Jeffries. Gaetz and Boebert are being based by denying him the job, and it’s extremely sad to see how uncritically the Squad embraced Mama Bear and her dreadful handpicked replacement.

Ngl, if i got publicly rejected 13 times for the same position, it’d be my 13th reason 

 

Gotta hand it to McCarthy for trying so desperately to fail upward. It’s certainly gotten him this far :clap3:

The way even Republicans are realizing that Ms. Pelosi was a legendary speaker who was supremely fit for the job

 

 

:clap3:

The way no one else but a straight white man would get away with failing this many times and still keep getting more chances.

Loads of Democrats never gave her the kudos for that either.

Or only a straight white man would have the audacity to keep trying like this, rather, lol. And it might just work in the end. But it's gonna be very hard to control his side the isle if just one person gets to vacate any legislation.

Kevin's getting this tonight and is essentially a Speaker in name only for the next two years. 

 

A debt default will be the least of our problems. Get ready for a surreal two years.

If they finally vote him in at least this is the last time we’ll have to listen to the stupid clapping

Glad this is going to be over

Gaetz wants to be last to vote.  Attention seeker antics

Why? McCarthy is a spineless worm and he doesn’t deserve the position. At all.
