Seventh Attempt To Elect A Speaker

C-Span ^ | January 4, 2023 | Dr. Franklin

[Dr. Franklin]

So here we go again. Do we have a dirty deal to elect Frank Luntz's roomie?

[SoConPubbie]

Adjourned.

[Sacajaweau]

Looks like they adjourned until noon tomorrow.

[Wallace T.]

Adjournment called. Has McCarthy cut a deal with the conservative holdouts?

[SoConPubbie]

We all know what you are smoking. No need to ask.

So says the FReeper with his head stuck . . . in the ground.

[OKSooner]

First thing is someone needs to reach out that big long hook and pull Kevin off the stage.

Crenshaw too, just for being an asshole.

[TexasGator]

Adjourned. Please amend your title

[Dr. Franklin]

Zero leadership from every single GOP member in the House. They would much rather whine, moan, bitch and complain in front of a microphone pounding their chests with no solutions. Want someone other than McCarthy? Pick ONE person that can get 218 and vote. If McCarthy is not the one, convince him to step aside and rally around that person that can get 218.
The GOP is called the “stupid party” for a reason. And we’re all seeing it in real-time.

The RINOs don't want to fix anything, just posture. Delaying naming a Speaker gives them an excuse to do nothing. They don't want a Speaker who will take action. Thus, McCarthy is their man to just posture without results.

If the Democrats‘ prostitutes are unionized, they will demand overtime after 10 PM.

“So says the FReeper with his head stuck . . . in the ground.”

I am the one moving forward with a 2024 victory plan. You are the one stuck in in 2020 sand.

[MIA_eccl1212]

yes.
clearly
commitee assignments are pretty clearly now made

my question... does the motion to vacate chair with minimum of five get reinstated as it was before pelosi?

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Who gives a damn how many attempts there are? The Republican Party is not a monolithic group of America hating Leftist psychopaths like the RAT party. It takes as long as it takes to get rid of the corrupt swamp creature McCarthy.

[Jamestown1630]

I didn’t understand this, though it is the first time I’ve seen it. Is there a delay and time-stamp on electronic voting? When the clock ran out, the ‘nays’ had it on my feed...

[struggle]

>If the Democrats‘ prostitutes are unionized, they will demand overtime after 10 PM.

Well, they’re all part of “Hunter’s Hookers” and unions don’t allow Venmo payments

[kempster]

Say goodnight.

[SecondAmendment]

McCarthy needs to be answer one question on the House floor tomorrow before the voting continues, did he know about McConnel’s deal with Schumer before it was voted on, and if so when.

[lightman]

Far easier to pizz and moan as the opposition than to actually do the hard work of governing.

[House Atreides]

I watched on C-SPAN. After electronic voting time expired there was a little chaos and shouting on the floor and the presiding clerk aske if anyone wanted to change their vote. A couple of vote changes and late votes quickly were recorded and adjournment passed.

[Jamestown1630]

Thanks.

They should know what they want when they vote the first time...

[Dawgreg]

Crenshaw too, just for being an asshole.

He’s proven himself to be just that......I want him primaried ASAP!!!

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

It is beginning to become obvious that a BUNCH of congressmen AND women are homosexuals. THAT is why almost nothing which requires a proper value system gets done or passed. They are all subject to some kind of blackmail because their sexual perversion probably exceeds the initial stage and they are all involved. This is sickening.
