If this nonsense goes on long enough and the house can't do anything because it doesn't have a speaker then eventually the debt ceiling is going to be reached and then that's a massive issue right? I can actually see that become a factor in the speaker race. In fact I'm wondering if that's part of the plan for the
MAGA wacko wing. Like something they can hold over the heads of the "moderate" Republicans AND Dems. Like "We are only putting up Gym Jordan for speaker. Vote for him, or the entire economy will be doomed". I mean I can totally see the MAGA folks doing that. They don't care what effect it will have on the economy .

Between McCarthy, Scalise, Jordan, Biggs, and Donalds who would the house Dems "prefer"? I mean I know they are all terrible but the least terrible from the Dem perspective is probably McCarthy right?

So correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the concessions McCarthy made to the mega chuds was that any one Congress person can initiate a no confidence vote on the speaker right? I'm not sure I worded that right. So does that mean that someone from the opposing party can do that too? Or is it only for the party in the majority?

Who would have thought I'd be tuning into CSPAN on a Friday night hoping to watch the very real possibility of a fistfight

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.

I bet SNL is kicking themselves for getting rid of Chris Redd right now because he's a drat spitting image of Hakeem Jeffries
