That's Byron "felony bribery" Donalds to you, by the way https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Donalds#Early_life_and_education of course he's an election denier but that seems to be the requisite for consideration by the HFC

The magic number of Donalds votes to lock out McCarthy is... what, just 5, right?

Kevin is never going to give this up and the HFC is never going to back down so again, I ask my friends on the other side: what in God's name is the endgame gonna be?

It should be at least +1 from yesterday because Donalds will (I assume) vote for himself and Jordan didn't.

So, KMC has said the caucuses demands are vague and inarticulable so the next choice is to peel off Dems somehow and what are you going to give them that won't blow up everything? edit: or KMC calls megadonors to tell the HFC to knock if off, or start going real dirty and reveal secrets that have been held back about the 20 members that are blocking him.

So did McCarthy actually try to do anything to help himself between yesterday and today or were the cuckoo caucus the only ones with any sort of strategy to increase their vote numbers?

lol few people on the planet deserve, and are willing to receive, such humiliation. Kevin can indeed gently caress himself.

https://twitter.com/TheRickyDavila/status/1610452692706693121I have many issues with Hakeem Jefferies politically, he's one of the most conservative and corporatist Dems in Congress That said, this is *excellent* messaging on his part, Pelosi tended to get dragged into the culture war weeds and talk about deplorables and make flourishes mocking Trump, but (in this admittedly very small sample size) he's laser targeted on the popular issues

I was pointing out that Donalds voted for Jordan on the last vote yesterday, Jordan voted for McCarthy every time. Meaning the vote would hold at 20.

Eventually the Dems and the, not moderate, but "extreme but not batshit insane" Republicans will probably compromise on someone. But probably not for a long time, when it actually gets to the point where votes urgently need to happen or the nation burns down. So probably months. In the short term the House being (more of) a disfunctional mess only benefits the Dems so they can happily just watch.

It is very funny to me to see members of the original Tea Party Caucus, who made their names on obstructive poo poo like this, getting their careers destroyed by the next generation doing the same thing to them

I'm hoping that at some point, the Dems just start holding pizza parties on the floor. Just a grand public display of unity while the Republicans keep bickering and fingerpointing over who's fault it is they can't govern. Edit: Hell, just roll a popcorn machine in so Dems can have fresh popcorn while watching this shitstorm.
