Oh, House representatives strong
For rules of decorum long
You considered the votes for days
To see what rules would stay
Your concessions and opinions are shown

#HouseVote Yay's and Nays were tied after time ran out for Monday noon adjournment, then a bunch ran up to change. Nays have it, so I assume there will be a motion for an earlier return than Monday.
After the first day I would have locked them all in the chamber without food and restroom access until they sorted it out. You took the job. Do it. #congress #housevote #RepubliCANTS

The Jan. 6th insurrectionist members of Congress should no longer be allowed to hold office. Instead, they are holding the country hostage on the #SpeakerVote and making demands in exchange for their votes. #HouseVote #McCarthy

I’m all for C-SPAN being allowed to use their cameras during all sessions of Congress. #housevote

McCarthy will celebrate getting the NeverKevin vote down to 7 or 8 or whatever it ends up being but he's already given these loons everything they've asked for. What could he possibly do to entice 3 or 4 more? Offer oral?
I don't see his path to Speaker after completely folding didn't do it.
A much better roll call:
And that's 5 --Kevin McCarthy loses the 12th round of voting for Speaker. #politics #housevote #crazycaucus

I wonder what “concessions” had to be made and which part of our “fair and just” pseudo-democratic existence just got sold out to the highest bidder. #housevote
I'm tired of Americans talking about "chaos" in the House of Representatives. Has anyone thrown any punches yet? No? Then what you call chaos is what we, in Nigeria, call a quiet Wednesday.
(Just realised that this joke is in bad taste on January 6. Sorry! You guys definitely outdid us with that one!)
