smoobles posted:What does voting present mean here? it gradually lowers the victory vote down from 218 to 217, and now down to 216. As of right now, if you see McCarthy gets 216, he wins.

smoobles posted:Wouldn't that mean Jeffries wins? If this were the first few rounds, yes. But enough of the initial rebels started voting for McCarthy a few ballots ago so that he has pulled ahead of Jeffries in total votes.

Oh I see, I tuned out around vote 7 and did not realize there were fewer holdouts

Well gently caress, that got much less funny. That's worst case scenario for Ukraine.

It's cute how conservatives who declare "earmarks were the most corrupt thing on Earth" are usually quite happy to accept bribes-for-votes themselves.

smoobles posted:Wouldn't that mean Jeffries wins? he's basically the omni-present "never sleep, never go home, never get sick, never fail to vote for any reason" guy. The rules will supposedly be that anyone can call to vacate the chair. If that is really true, then if the GOP ever has problems with attendance, then the Dems will be waiting to call the vote. Jeffries might actually end up being (very) briefly becoming speaker once or twice. Rigel fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Jan 7, 2023 |

I suspect there's quite a bit more of this kind of thing that's been made public so far, and it's going to lead to entertainment in the future. Possibly very near future.

I'm awake again. And... holy poo poo. Just in time for Kevin to get it, apparently.

Well all I can say is SA is at its best when there's complete chaos in our government. The Gaetz jokes alone made my night.

Of course Matt Gaetz lost interest when the speaker vote turned 15

It's very impressive that in a caucus with both the Squad, and Golden, Peltola, Cuellar; a leadership team that's completely new to leadership has managed to hold everyone together so firmly in votes and messaging with the only absence being a dude who needed surgery who still got back in time to vote. Incredible contrast to guys who've been here 2 decades and got humiliated 15 times by a gelled-up sex trafficker before surrendering completely.

OddObserver posted:It's also not very important, given the control of Senate and Presidency. They threw a tantrum to get some 'control' over a situation that didn't even really matter. It's kind of fitting that it happened on Jan 6th, another last, desperate grasp of a movement that's petering out.
