[The Dog 44861]

????????

[WhatTheBuck 28931]

Crane changed his vote from Biggs to Present. Kornacki says that if everything else stays the same then McCarthy will win the Speakership on this vote.

Is it possible that MAGA representatives are all being bought by the Russians?

 

[burntorangebongos 10826]

The Five Guys feast in McCarthy's office has gone stone cold. Fuck Butthead and Boobs for fucking that party.

And now, we get the rules:

All legislation must include a declaration that the 2020 election was stolen, January 6th was a nothing but also it was antifa, and Putin rules.
All legislation must include a provision for investigating Hunter’s laptop.
The House will immediately pass a constitutional amendment making it legal for weird Florida dudes to bang underage chicks.
No member can speak without smearing shit all over themselves.
And then they get REALLY nuts…

Matt Gaetz to chair every committee

All members required to wear neckwear from the Donald Trump Collection

 No vote on debt ceiling until after Zelenskyy’s head appears on a spike in Red Square

[Old Freak Nasty 821]

Is the 118th Congress finally going to break the GQPs chokehold on white men with college degrees?  We know that the US will either default on its debt or will require a bottom of the 9th rally lead by Democrats or executive action by Biden to save the world's economy.

Voting to preserve White Privilege matters when there is wealth and lifestyle to preserve.  But these fascists are clearly showing they don't give a fuck about anything but grifting campaign funds and being reality TV stars and will happily bring down American democracy if it means they get theirs.

How the fuck can anyone with a college degree vote R in 2024 anywhere on the ballot?  This is insane.

[cactusflinthead 27627]

 

[Willfully Horn 8265]

Gaetz: 14 is a no, but 15 is a go.

Yet sadly some will. What a shit show this has been.

well it was awkward but in a dumb funny way because those two are married.

The background audio on MSBNC tonight has been amazing. So many hot mics. 
 

Latest one:

“who’s that suck up with the black hair and orange tie next to McCarthy?”

[NameAlreadyInUse 5169]

So it’s fitting that the only way a Republican can win the speaker race is to get less people to vote. 

[RPM 26632]

Fuck. I was hoping they would extend the dysfunction for another week. I Wonder just how much McCarthy had to give away to get the crazies to finally support him?

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

to avoid 15 damn votes and to keep the concessions pushing the Rs even further to the right, the Dems should have simply chunked off 20 votes to McCarthy.  That would've done so much good.

He still didn’t get to 218. Just wait until something big comes up for a vote.

Do the rules need 218 to pass?

Jeffries up there killing it!

[YGIFS 19458]

Nope, just more yea than ney.  You can hypothetically pass a bill 1-0.  Members miss votes all the time.  Though I’m guessing all 434 show up

for this one

Agree. It is only a warning of bullshit to come.

Next week is going to be an embarrassing shitshow.

[Dutchrudder 11243]

So what are the chances McCarthy doesn't hold up his end of these bargains he made?  Is there anything the HFC could do if he decides to change his mind on some committee nominees?
