Mike Parrish Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Quote After a seventh round of voting, the House failed once again to elect a speaker. The vote totals for the seventh round: Hakeem Jeffries – 212 Kevin McCarthy – 201 Byron Donalds – 19 Other – 1 Present – 1 Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) voted for Donald Trump. Despite a long night of making concessions to the 20 holdouts, McCarthy made absolutely no progress. Elect some clowns, expect a circus. Pelosi governed for two years with exactly the same majority.

BobDole Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I wanna see the democrats all pull a fast one and vote for Byron Donalds. For two reasons, to be the adults in the situation and to screw with the other Republicans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, with the threshold for a motion to vacate the chair set to 1, his speakership will be measured in milli-Scaramuccis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Parrish Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Quote Gaetz tells reporters just now that this all ends either with McCarthy deciding to “withdraw from the race” or agrees to a “straitjacket” agreement that fully constrains him as speaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Parrish Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Quote After an eighth round of voting, the House failed once again to elect a speaker. The vote totals for the eighth round: Hakeem Jeffries – 212 Kevin McCarthy – 201 Byron Donalds – 17 Other – 3 Present – 1 Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) voted for Donald Trump. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Rep-elect Josh Brecheen (R-OK) voted for Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK). Once again, McCarthy made absolutely no progress. The only good news for McCarthy is that there is still no serious alternative yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VakAttack Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 The Rs are really showering themselves in glory with this whole thing, which Kevin McCarthy decides how much of his dignity is worth sacrificing to be Speaker of the Bouse for about 5 minutes. Yikes. I did not realize how much of chaos monsters Gaetz et al really were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasmodium Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 So sad. None of these people are rookies and they aren't even championing an alternative. This is a direct consequence of electing idiots. They are incapable of offering anything meaningful, so they make a spectacle to appear useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Any liberal could say the same if they fear an R House. They should be just as happy with nothing happening. In actual fact, nothing much will happen because Congress is divided and therefore only the matters of utmost urgency will get addressed. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
