This is like friends invite you and your spouse over for dinner and then they lock the door and insist you stay as they get in a harrowing fight about their marriage. 😬😬😬🍿🍿🍿

So that's interesting. GOPs asked to adjourn and the Dems allowed it to go through. They could have blocked it but chose not to to. Not really sure there was a point in blocking it. The real issue here is that none of the three groups has a clear path or plan forward.

Do Democrats need a plan going forward at this point? I mean, other than to re-check the popcorn supply?

Dems in disarray.

Heh.

I know math is hard, but absent a change to the rules, McCarthy needs a majority of the members voting, i.e., 218/434, not 213 (unless 9+ members vote "present").

And even if the rules change, McCarthy has to get a plurality, something I don’t think he’s done yet.

Third ballot results:
Jeffries - 212
McCarthy - 202
Jim Jordan - 20

Nope, not yet.

This is one thing we must all understand about what we saw today. Something that hasn't happened in over 100 years. The House GOP Caucus is an exact representative sample of the Republican Party and its supporters today — historically fucked up!

Hearing lots of GOP complaining about the Freedom Caucus "hostage taking". But let's remember that this is exactly what happens each time we have a govt shutdown or deb ceiling hostage situation. This is all the Freedom Caucus has ever done.

Had Trump not forced out the members who voted to impeach him, McCarthy likely would have had the votes.
