BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:the american system is based fundamentally around the idea that everyone is incompetent and corrupt and nobody can be trusted. Its failing now because it was too optimistic. The key failing is that the fundamental assumption is everyone is an incompetent and corrupt gentleman. Kind of surprising it's taken this long for the rug to get pulled on that last part. Maybe political dueling was the answer. Youth Decay posted:The poo poo's coming out the other end now Oh please let McCarthy pull all 20 nutters and then lose 20 assholes who have only now realized it pays to take hostages.

McCarthy will slither in at last, the revised Rules package will be put up for a vote, a point of order of "wasn't the whole point of this that we'd get 72 hours to read what we're voting on and not be told 'just shut up and vote for it'" will be ignored because that's part of what's being voted on, the Rules package will fail, Gaetz will stand up and say "I move to vacate the Chair--" and everyone else in the room will just start hucking staplers and briefcases and things that hurt at him.

coelomate posted:Speaker -> Swear -> Rules in one sitting is the only thing that makes sense. Was reading JQA's diary entries about the 1839 speaker shenanigans and he wrote that after they finally elected speaker they went home and swore in the next day. Though that was more because the speaker shenanigans came as a result of the seating of the NJ delegation being contested. quote:

Nah, it's much funnier if he finally gets elected and then the rules vote fails. If the rules don't pass there is no majority. If another set of rules passes other than the ones the Speaker proposes there is no majority. In either of those circumstances, a motion to vacate the chair would be completely justified.

McCarthy either needs two more rebels to vote present, or one more rebel to flip to him.

3 more votes McCarthy needs good news from (2 presents would do it, assuming everything else lines up): Gaetz Good Rosendale Update on Buck, who is an absent McCarthy supporter: he's on the way back: reporting he is not yet in the building. He can vote at the end if he gets there... soon.
