Republicans Extend Their Circus To Jan 6.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., pulled many of the members opposing him to his side but still lost a historic 12th bid for House speaker Friday afternoon.

Fourteen members who had previously gone against McCarthy on Thursday switched their votes in favor of him, earning applause from GOP members in the chamber. McCarthy can still afford, at most, only four defections if the entire House votes, and this leaves him with work to do. The House will continue voting indefinitely until a majority of House members settle on a candidate.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that in 1861, 11 senators and 3 representatives refused to accept Lincoln's electoral victory and they were expelled straight the f*ck from Congress. and today, the insurrectionists are running the show. what the certified f*ck. - Jeff Tiedrich

Kevin McCarthy Loses EIGHTH Bid For House Speaker

Kevin McCarthy Loses EIGHTH Bid For House Speaker

The 118th session of Congress entered its third day on Tuesday, though the proceedings of the House remain paralyzed until a Speaker is successfully voted in and swears the remaining members into office. McCarthy’s bid for the job has been repeatedly undermined as he attempts to negotiate with the hard-line Republican holdouts who’ve so far prevented him from reaching the 218 votes he needs.

Eight speaker ballots. Eight. I expect the Marquis de Sade to be nominated for speaker.

Sen. Patty Murray Is Now Second In Line To The Presidency Thanks To Republicans

Two months ago, polls showed Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., at risk of losing her seat.

Now, she is second in line to the presidency.

Murray, 72, was sworn in Tuesday for her sixth term and was promptly elected as the president pro tempore of the Senate — a position that would normally put her third in the order of succession, after the vice president and the speaker of the House. But, of course, there is no speaker of the House.

Think the coup attempt isn’t ongoing? The twenty morons who currently have the House crippled are criminals who asked Donald Trump for a pardon. This isn’t political. It’s criminal. - Jack Hopkins tweet
