Unrelated but I hate the whole “who did this?” thing. It’s a way for clout chasers to use a meme, without even bothering to find who made it
Are they doing Electing Speaker 2: Electric Boogaloo today? I guess 3, or 7, but the joke doesn't work then. Electing Speaker 3: It Ain't Gonna be McCarthy?
High noon EST.
Hilarious watching Ruhle get progressively exasperated by Boebert's primitive talking points
Sweet. I hope the third season is as good as the first two.
The ending of season 2 was epic with the GOP narrowly winning the right to eat dinner and talk more. Proper Helms Deep level drama and victory.
‘Nobody Is in Charge’: A Ragged G.O.P. Stumbles Through the Wilderness
It is amazing how self reflective the GOP is starting to be now faced with this embarrassment. Like they didn't create these idiots, prop them up, allow them to run around with election denying bs, and fundraise off it. They supported all these morons gave them the platforms they are now using to cause chaos and force the next GOP speaker to be increasingly weak even when they do get one finally elected.
The concessions Kevin reportedly offered last night just make it worse. If he does get the speakership and they back off with these concessions they will do this same thing for 2 years. From the prime seats on committees he's offering them.

The GOP nomination speeches are exhausting.
McCarthy loses again. That's seven times now.I thought Scalise doesn't want the job, Jordan made it clear he didn't and they still voted for him!!
I wonder if anyone will try nominating Trump, I'd love to see how many votes he'd get!
Pretty sure Scalise wants it, but as a McCarthy supporter, can't admit it as a mere whiff of him being interested would instantly tank McCarthy's chances. He is probably negotiating behind the scenes in preparation for taking over after the inevitable McCarthy implosion.
This is dangerous. I'm beginning to feel the kind of glee that I last felt when Trump was announcing he was running for President. This time? Who knows.
Gatez has already voted for him in this vote.
So that was 1 vote then!
They can choose literally anyone, right? Let's get wild with it.
Gosar (or is that Biggs? It's one of the AZ whack jobs) might be a less inspiring speaker than BoBo.
Neither. Never seen this cat before. He’s terrible.
It is Biggs
Edit:
Dudes headshot on his website has been.....errr.... touched up a bit.

Really? Completely blanked during his intro then.
Could have run this on a loop for those jailed in Gitmo & got more out of them vs. using other torture methods.
If I'm McCarthy, I'm striking a deal with Dems to vote present so it gets him over the top, then he can ditch the crazy caucus and leave them with nothing.
Is it always that same woman reading the names? The last three days she's said the names McCarthy and Jeffries around ~1400 times each. I'm actually seriously impressed that they haven't turned into gibberish by now.
Nope, take it back, BoBo is the bigger idiot.
What’s this jackass saying?
That'd have to be one hell of a deal for the Dems.
No, I think she is alternating with at least one other woman.
Gotta think the ask would be massive from the Dems.
She's been on every time I've watched the riveting stream, she must be doing the majority of it. I guess it makes sense that she gets breaks, this is already ridiculous once.
It would obvioulsly require concessions from McCarthy - such as ditching Gym Jordan, Boebert, Gaetz, and Marge from committee assingments.
Yep, for starters.
....aaaand McCarthy loses round 8 as well.
