Adjournment passes. See you all on Monday. Maybe by then we will know about who the liars were.
Or not…what the fuck.
Why is he blaming Gaetz? I didn’t think that Gaetz was one of the ones he flipped. He actually voted present which helped McCarthy.
Also, can we just once again acknowledge just how good Pelosi was at this? She would never ever have let this happen. She is also brutal. She was interviewed about what McCarthy needed to do to win and she said “Just get it done”. Given how hard Boehner and Reed had it, it seems that Speaker is an even harder job than it seems. I don’t envy McCarthy the position.
Nope some votes changes. On a tie the motion fails. Was about to say see y’all Monday
Rs are switching to “nay”, they must think they’ve got the last vote they need.
Red card! Red card!
Lol. Pysch. What the hell is going on?
Going for another vote.
My guess, McCarthy has miscounted his votes (again?)
McCarthy thinks he now has the votes apparently.
McCarthy himself just changed his vote to not adjourn. He must think he has a deal. Again.
Y’see this is where Kevin wishes it were not a crime to blackbag a member of Congress and drop him off doped up and naked at the Great Dismal Swamp.
Then again I’d suspect he could not arrange that.
I think there’s time to take a bath.
If he loses a 15th vote tonight…I may never stop laughing. And/or cringing. Lainging?
McCarthy thinks he has made a deal with Matty, telling his followers to change adjournment vote to No.
Ha. Now I bet Gaetz will switch from present to Jordan or someone.
That would be the greatest troll of all time.
At what point do the clerks go from “This is my moment in the sun.” to “I don’t get paid enough for this shit.”
I love the fact the wacky fact-free party is hostage to its wackiest fact-free-est fringe wackos. Who in turn are hostage to the wackiest of that bunch of wackos.
They have sown and cultivated the whirlwind and now they shall reap a thousandfold what they have sown. Gerrymandering: proof that decisions have consequences. Particularly sticky consequences. Kinda like spooge on cinema seating: it gets everywhere.
Please make this happen. Or let Gaetz vote McCarthy and Boebert go back to someone else.
