Another day, another opportunity for "My Kevin" to be humiliated by his conference.
Dogs may bark but the parade marches on.
The coveted
ModdyFat Donnie from Queens endorsement has arrived – and Nancy still lives rent-free in his head!"good" job. I saw what you did there Donnie.
No, Blanche, that isn’t the way it works.
I wonder if he is referring to the plan to get enough members to withhold their votes so MyKevin doesn't need 218…
Izzat for real?
Maybe we should wait for the Maricopa County mail-in votes? Maybe propose a a Georgia runoff??
Can someone do the math on this? Given Hakim has consistently gotten more votes than McCarthy doesn’t the “vote present” strategy give us a Democratic Speaker? (assuming there is no erosion of the 20 “Never Kevin” gang?
I think we’re deep into “Rule of Holes” territory.
the rule is the winner must have a majority of those casting votes for a name. If the Democrats continue to name Jeffries, Republicans would need to have 213 who vote for the name and everyone else voting present or not voting.
In a few of the pre-Civil War Speaker elections, there eventually was a willingness to change the rule and allow a person to win with only a plurality of the vote.
I saw someone suggesting the plurality play last night.
“I wonder if he is referring to the plan to get enough members to withhold their votes so MyKevin doesn’t need 218…”
The problem is that the wrong people would be prepared to withhold their votes. None of the 20 in the screwball caucus would do that. The only ones who would do it are “My Kevin’s” supporters which makes the whole idea counterproductive – and if enough did it, would elect Jeffries.
Lindsey should support Puerto Rico statehood as then Alabama or Mississippi would no longer be at the bottom of the state success metrics’ rankings.
No statehood for DC until it gets back the land it used to own in Virginia. Retrocession was a terrible idea in 1847. The traitors should have been forced to return it in 1865.
Lady G says that like statehood for those two colonies is a bad thing.
But,but,but…they're lousy with black and brown people. Lady G. has enough of them in South Carolina!
Ian Milhiser:
Gaetz wants to know why McCarthy is allowed to continue his occupation of the Speaker’s office. Prolly not a good sign for how today is going to go?
And it's a fair question
Whoo ho 5X a charm……way to go Boobert.
Colorado conservative activist warns of shift 'from ballots to bullets'
Sadly not surprising.
Still concerning and still worth paying attention to, but not surprising.
Kudos to Clark and 9News for describing the reference and showing how absolutely backwards and wrong it was used by Wyatt.
Picture Didn’t allow itself to post, so you get the less convenient link. Still humorous IMHO

That's gonna leave a mark.
It would be funny if this meme were updated every time a vote was made. The first version I saw only had 2 McCarthy's and 4 speakers. The next had 4 McCarthy's and 8 speakers. This one has 5 McCarty's and a mix of speakers and Capitol buildings. I am definitely seeing a trend.
Is it just my imagination or are Boebert and Matt Gaetz awfully close. He seems to hover around her…..Isn't she too old for him?
