It hasn't gone to the 2nd round in like a hundred years I think, so the rules are a bit out of date. But then again the entire American political system is ancient and barely functioning, so it fits.

19 for Jordan, how many did he have the other times?
Edit: 20 now, he had 19 last time. Republicans are so dumb.

Do they literally just keep voting over and over with no restrictions to who is eligible?
Same as last time. It is ridiculous for that process to not have a rule that flushes out weakest candidates on the following turn.
Yep.
This is fascinating to me.
It shouldn't be that surprising, this is the natural conclusion of the GOP, "government is fundamentally broken, elect me and i will prove it" is their main speaking point, don't be surprised when thats what happen when you vote for these loons.
What a fecking cnut…
Adjourned until noon tomorrow. 
Oldies just weren’t having it tonight.Adjourned until noon tomorrow.

Pathetic.
I swear someone among the Ds should challenge her into a boxing match at Capital One Arena. The money raised from ticket sales would go to charity.
Justin Trudeau did that once with a Canadian senator from the Conservative caucus as an opponent. That was a while before Trudeau became Liberal Party leader and eventually Prime Minister.

If I recall correctly Jordan doesn't want to be speaker, they've just voted for him!
I can see a potential for a left field solution, the Dems find 5 moderate Republicans and give them some big inducements to vote for Jefferies - unlikely but not impossible
This should be the dictionary entry for petty
Whats causing the rift between KM and Gaetz/MAGA crew? Wasn't KM basically on Trumps nuts the whole time? I'm assuming MTG was given something to switch sides, why not offer something to Gaetz/dumb-dumb and the rest? Or was KM only going to offer something to one of them?
it could be as simple as he hates the guy, but my guess is that Gaetz, Bobo, and the rest just want the attention and hope to spin it into more power/grift.
Are those rebelling part of his MAGA crowd?
Yep.
So if their daddy is telling them to vote him, you recon this’ll end?
Daddy told them to vote for him before anyone voted so probably not
Hope not. It was rather enjoyable yesterday afternoon.
Didn’t know that, cheers!
My question is why would McCarthy even want to be speaker under these conditions? He has no authority. These feckers will make every day for the next two years miserable for him. What they did to Boener will be child’s play compared to this guy.
Hubristic narcissism is my thought.
Power
This is the 3rd most powerful position there is in the US Government
Man speaks from experience...
I'm going to relish the Marge v Boebert hairpulling contest over the next two years.
Someone should wrap her inside one of the carpets they produce in her district
They’re all saying the quiet bits out loud all the time without any concern these days aren’t they.
They’re so transparently all about themselves and their own power, how do they keep getting voted for?
I mean I know the answer is idiots but fecking hell.

Gotta be just more than idiots, probably has as much to do with contempt for "normal"
