The House is, as usual, in a state of chaos.

So now the only thing the house can do is vote to elect a new speaker and can’t move on until one is voted in, right?

do they have to have another vote for speaker

cause it could be even funnier now that Gaetz and the Freedom Caucus are riding high

That's what confuses me. There is no person in the House Republican caucus who both

1. can get the votes of the majority of Republicans and
2. wants the job.

I can't imagine Scalise or McHenry being any more popular with the Gaetz wing of the party than McCarthy.

Anyway, the US Government is funded for 42 more days. I hope we have a Speaker by mid-November to threaten to damage the economy.

They'll probably get enough votes to reinstate mccarthy in exchange for "moderate" republicans passing a debt ceiling. Being masterful negotiators they'll have to add in a tax cut for super billionaires and an end to social security despite having all of the cards.

I still have debates with my dad over whether trump or gwb is worse. I think GWB was worse for the world overall, but trumps handling of covid made me rate him worse domestically
