Is Bishop actually going to nominate someone? Or just complain about tweets?

Complaining about tweets is praxis.

Wait I'm not watching at the moment because I'm on a conference call but I thought they voted to adjourn?

They got quorum, now they are doing a vote for speaker. Hakeeeeeeeeeem Jefferies!

One aspect I don’t see brought up about how the Republicans doing this to themselves is those 20 anti-McCarthy freaks have no threats to their power due to the GOP gerrymandering and voter suppression in their districts so hard. They can do whatever they want, the GOP anointed them god kings of their territories they have no threat of being voted out. That sucks, huh, McCarthy?

They do have a threat to their power, being primaried by someone who can claim to be more recalcitrant, using their vote for McCarthy as an example of something the challenger would not do.

This all bodes well for a GOP controlled house getting a lot accomplished over the next few years.

Especially as it sounds like McCarthy is caving on needing only one member to start a vote to oust the speaker.

I for one, welcome speaker Jeffries, when the McCarthy gives up and tries a rule change to have the speaker elected by plurality.

This is the look of someone who knows they are presiding over a historical moment, and not a good one.

2 years of investigations into how the hell hunters cock got so dang big is an agenda afterall

Well, with SCOTUS quoting Matthew Hale, Hunter Biden being subpoenaed for his involvement with the ongoing koro epidemic is not out of the question.
For the benefit of our overseas friends, the next meeting starts at 17:00 GMT.

So at what point is Gaetz/MTG/Boebert going to try to make a "big brain play" and "show that the Democrats are just as disorganized as us" and nominate the arch-extremist, AOC?

MTG is already on team McCarthy.

Is there anything in the rules stopping Mc Carthy from making the Rules 'need a 25% of Republican Caucus to initiate a vote to vacate, the House recognizes Gaetz is a fuckstain and I don't give a poo poo about a broken promise to him?' besides, well, the wrath of primary electorate?

From putting them down on paper? No, but you would still need a majority of the house to approve them to make them binding.
