I thought someone said they could change the rules to make it a plurality, which I could see happening as a threat against the hold outs "Vote for McCarthy or it will be a loving democRAT" and the hold outs still holding out.

Again, not likely, but no longer impossible.

Regardless, I'll be so mad if the Dems do anything. Just loving let them stew. They'll figure it out eventually, but until they do, let them drown in their own horseshit. Every day they're doing this is another they aren't setting up committees to investigate Trans people.

Sort of. My understanding is they need a majority of all the voters in that round. If a bunch of people missed the vote, then that number goes down. There’s rumors that some R’s are going to put due to medical appointments, and a death in the family. If enough leave, the Dems could win.

If that's true Jeffries is literally one vote away from winning. I added up the votes in the screenshot I posted and it's 423, which would make 212 a majority.

I think that's it for two years. Isn't the speaker who decides what the house actually votes on? That's why it's important, if the Speaker doesn't declare a vote it doesn't matter how many members of congress support it, it doesn't get a vote?

This is also why Sparks voting present is important. It has shifted the threshold to 217 already. Even if Buck was there, since she's voting "present" there are only 433 votes and 217 is majority.

They can hold another vote at any time but whether they can get a majority vote or not is a different story.

The vote isn't just for speaker, but also for a package of rules the house will work under for the 2 year session.

The breakaway caucus besides hating him made a bunch of amusing demands that basically would allow them to hold up everything for whatever dumb poo poo they want, like forcing votes they really, really don't want to have to vote on and make it as Skwirl said, easier to replace the speaker at their whim.

Tl;dr lol and lmao.

True. And there’s a wild card strategy McCarthy could employ where he tells some of his own supporters to leave. He forces the crazy wing to chose between himself or Jeffries.

Hello fellow fan of Defunctlands! It's a great series. I also like how he lists all of his sources at the end (and also shows the source sometimes in the middle).

edit: I'm 10 minutes into this and it is WAY more than the regular stuff. This is a whole production.

I guarantee one of my brothers would absolutely be planning on freaking me with horrifying dolls if this came out when we were kids. He and my mom both teamed up to terrorize me with ET and he teased me for years about Chucky freaking me out. Murderous dolls and aliens are about the only things I don't gently caress with movie wise.
