We’re pretty far off the well charted course here. Not sure prediction markets will be interesting or really know what to make of it… we all wait just get to wait together for a bunch of gigantic egoes to sort themselves out. Live on TV. Via hours and hours of roll cal voice voting.

Congress is great at doing nothing until the last minute. The Rs somewhat reasonably see little need to rush if the senate isn't even around until the end of January. I think talk of July is waaaaay premature. Funny, but the odds of SOMETHING budging before then are high, even if we can't clearly identify the something yet.

Piell posted:Nope, it'll be 21 if Jordan votes for Donalds, because Jordan will have gone from a McCarthy vote to a Donalds vote Why would Jordan vote for Donalds? He gave 1,000,000 speeches for McCarthy yesterday, and asked not to be nominated for speaker.

quote:The reports on the latest maneuvering put that in a vivid light. POLITICO’s story described the bargaining as a “glimmer of hope” for McCarthy. The details, however, are hopeful in the same way that a person dying of thirst might find a pitcher of saltwater hopeful. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/01/05/mccarthy-tried-compromise-now-hes-trying-appeasement-00076579

This thread is interesting because of how uninformed everyone - us, the media, probably a lot of the reps - are. I check in the morning hoping for news overnight but nope… we all just wait for the next live squabble at moon.

We always knew it started with 5 truly insane people and ~15 semi-crazies. McCarthy isn't actually any closer to winning a majority until one of those 5 flips, those 5 can sandbag it.
