I don't really see the point of Congress even meeting until the Republicans work out what they are going to do. But maybe they are required procedurally to get together and engage in this charade for the rest of the week.

Fitzpatrick wants to delay 72 hours to keep negotiating. The moderates sound scared if they need to push this off until Monday

Dems should switch strategy now and vote him in. He would be so weak at that point that he would be worthless (even more than now, if possible).

In order for the Democrats to compromise the Republicans have to bring forth an acceptable candidate. One that accepts the results of the 2020 election as a minimum.

It is going to ensure that there will not be any deals made with Biden by the Republican leadership even just to keep the lights on. That is the idea here I think. This enables the most celebrity chasing attention whoring Republican to steer the House. 

As Valmy correctly (imo) states, a weak McCarthy isn't worthless...to the HFC holding his strings. They'll force him further AF right as possible on everything just so he gets to keep saying he is speaker. A weak McCarthy is a horrible fucking scenario.

Dunno. According to the Beaver and Jake Sherman, he’s a wooing the GOP Moderates.

the what?

The only end to this is McCarthy sitting in the office with "Speaker" on the door, but Matt Gaetz truly running the show.

Ha, way to stick that knife in his back and then twist it by saying the uber dipshit wing nuts negotiated in good faith.

I don't think Ken Buck understands what "acting in good faith" means.

Sure he does.  It means "not being a Democrat."

Joining the thread for the first time. I don't understand McCarthy's play here. Why not just cave to the loonies and give them everything they want? It's not like he's some sort of moderate that gives a fuck about policy or anything - literally all he wants in life is to be speaker, everything else be damned.

They don't want anything

other than McCarthy to not be Speaker of the House

My favorite usage was right after Dobbs was decided and Mitch was trying to say that the Rs wouldn't go any further and then, hours later, Graham more or less said they were coming for everything.  LEEEERRRROOOOOOOYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can somebody edit over the part where the avatar shouts his name with "HAAAAAKEEEEEM JEFFRIEEEEEEEEEES!"

I know it wasn't actually Jeffries saying his name, but it'd still be funny.

Did that run more times than I can count back in the day. Seeing that video still makes me laugh. The amount of noobs that activated them on accident was always funny to watch.

Radical Republicans: "Stop mentioning slavery! That is over! We weren't slave owners, so stop mentioning it! You're not a slave!"

 

Also radical republicans: "Let's put the new Black guy up this time to nominate Kevin, and let's have him mention how his family was slaves!"

What "small victory" from yesterday is John James referencing? I am as lost on the reference as Matt Gaetz (he was shown looking confused lol).

This, apparently

And now we know the Republicans are going to run John James for senate again in 2024 since Debbie Stabenow announced her retirement this morning... 3rd time is the charm?

ah, right lol

that's correct and he just got burned by the D speaker

Good catch. Dunno

You know what's not funny?  Watching people get laid off and/or their families getting similarly fucked, because of this dysfunction. Not funny at all, and the "Repuglicans" or "ConservaKKKS", I blame 100%.   Fucking bastards.  There are a ton of us out here that could make a difference in helping people get by.  These fuckers like Chip Roy are just assholes.   Fuck those guys.

so i realize this is just a technicality, but if mccarthy wins with the rules he's agreed to, what happens when there's a vote to vacate every other week?  do they have to vote someone new in, or are we back to square one (where we are now)?  i can't imagine they'll find a new person to rally around, so does mccarthy just retain the speakership or does it roll back to having no speaker?

and while that is going on, does he have to keep moving in and out of his office, because that is something i would like to see.

Nah.  When McCarthy eventually gets elected, Gaetz is going to get squashed like the tiny bug he is.

Under McCarthy's concession of allowing one representative to call for a vote of confidence, would this also extend to Dem's?  Could a Dem rep call for a vote of confidence?

So could I call a rep office and offer them a campaign donation if they will nominate me for speaker?  Or the person of my choosing?
