If Boebert does vote present, then I'll just assume its over. I won't wait for Gaetz weird drama rear end to declare his allegiance.

Crazy that 100 years of legislative power getting centralized into leadership dashed in a week by one dude who wants a big desk.

As a non-American, I'm sorry your system is so hosed up that an extremely small minority can hold the entire House hostage. With that out of the way, :laffo::laffo::laffo:

Exactly two years ago, I was up at this exact hour watching Congress. The mood on this day is significantly better than it was back then.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

It's only possible because the margins are so close and the last ~40 years completely jettisoned even the remotest possibility of cross-aisle voting on this sort of thing.

Fun while it lasted.

Would have been nice to hit 133. But 15 votes to elect a speaker in ttyol 2023 is a loving embarrassment.

Now the real question is how long it takes before they no confidence him and we have to do this again.

I don't think Gaetz can ruin this if he tried now. Even him voting for another person should still mean McCarthy wins.

Just imagine the actual legislating that will be done in the House if it takes this long to pick a leader.

They still have to pass the Rules package with all of the concessions.

well gently caress, it was historic, yall. Now we'll settle in for seeing whether the GOP house plunges us into national default or not, and an irritating torrent about some very important national congressional investigations over the massive size of Hunter Biden's surprisingly prodigious cock.

There's a chance that the vote on the rules package will go to hell though. We ain't done yet. (Or maybe we are?)

There are a lot of people against the rules concessions on McCarthy's side that might want to gig the HFC.
