Looks like McCarthy will win this, but remember at any time any one of these nutbars can put in a motion to vacate and force more votes for #SpeakeroftheHouse #HouseSpeaker #House #108thCongress

"Surely leopards won't eat my face this time," says the man who's been raising leopards from cubs, after they had eaten his face thirteen previous times. #HouseSpeaker #House #108thCongress #SpeakeroftheHouse

Now for another exciting episode of "Everyone Hates Kevin" 😂 #HouseSpeaker #House #SpeakeroftheHouse #108thCongress

Motion to adjourn was going to fail, so #House Republican leadership abandons it. How can you be so bad at your job that you can't even manage to shirk it correctly? #HouseSpeaker #SpeakeroftheHouse #108thCongress

A Republican is someone who'll campaign on the premise that the government is incompetent and wants you to elect them to run the government so they can prove it. #House #HouseSpeaker #108thCongress

Chip Roy (Numbnuts-TX) talking about spending bills that "aren't paid for". I'm not sure he understand how currencies and sovereign debt work. Does he know what a "United States dollar" is? #HouseSpeaker #House #108thCongress

Usually during a big political event like the #HouseSpeaker election today, I would be able to follow along with plenty of commentary on #Twitter. Today there's nothing. I don't know if a lot of journalists have bailed or if Elmo effed the algorithm but the #birdsite doesn't fulfill its primary use case anymore. It's not easy to follow here, either, because the birdsite diaspora hasn't caught on to the importance of using hashtags here. #108thCongress #House

If you think today will be unprecedented, at the last ceremonial opening of a new #Congress, the sitting President tried to violently overthrow the United States government. #House #108thCongress #HouseSpeaker

🎶 You're gonna need Congressional approval and you don't have the votes 🎶 #House #HouseSpeaker #108thCongress

Today's session in the #House demonstrates the old adage "The enemy of my enemy is also a fuckwit, and watching them suffer from their own ineptitude is hella entertaining." #HouseSpeaker #108thCongress
