Kevin McCarthy : "What do I have to do to get to yes."
House Trumpists: "We will require your heart, brain, first born, and your left kidney."

A year ago today, thousands of Americans became insurrectionists & domestic terrorists in their attempt to overthrow a legal election. Many of those same #Insurrectionists are still in the #senate & the #houseofrepresentatives. What is 2023-2024 led by these insurrectionists going to look like? Only time will tell. #house #housevotes #January6th #donesticterrorists #senate #blackmastodon #politics

You know in the movies when there is a fight between a tough guy and a skinny little guy and the tough guy keeps pummeling the little guy, but he keeps getting back up? And it happens so many times that the crowd around the fight goes silent, and eventually even the tough guy feels pity for the wimp who won't give up and just walks away himself, maybe shaking his head?
Kevin McCarthy saw that and said, that is how I'll get my speakership.

Kevin #McCarthy on the effect losing 10 #HouseVotes has on his reputation:

#McCarthy NEEDS TO GIVE IT UP. Not going to happen, #Kevin.
I'm a vote for #HakeemJeffries all day long, natch. But #SteveScalise or whomever needs to take the reins.
Shout out to @briantylercohen for live streaming the #HouseVotes for #Speaker and keeping us all straight. (And saying it could go until next week?! 🤦🏻‍♀️)

I’m surprised how CNN mentioned Repubs nominating Steve Scalise but no one has done so after 9 rounds. Donalds, Trump, & Hern won’t get 218 votes & neither will McCarthy. Guess the Repubs like this merry-go-round of chaos. Not a good look for the country. #votes #house #housevotes #politics #kevinmccarthy #houseofrepresentatives #republicans #herewegoagain #blackmastodon

7 votes, 7 denials for speakership. When will McCarthy take one for the team & drop out? He’s given away any power he had anyway. Now we are at vote 8. Will this go into 9 innings like baseball? Our national security is at risk every day this chaos goes on. #mccarthy #votes #houseofrepresentatives #housevotes #republicans #speakerofthehouse

Aww... The Honorless Kevin #McCarthy doesn't have the #HouseVotes to be #Speaker. Very SAD!

Go with me here… what if delaying a whole 1/3 of our government is the point and not who’s speaker. I mean, these *are* the same people who tried to stop 2/3 of our government 2 years ago.

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/house-speaker-race-republicans-challenge-replacing-mccarthy-rcna64254 Ohio’s Jim Jordan and Louisiana’s Steve Scalise face inverse versions of the same problem, which makes it hard to see how anyone can bridge the gulf within the #GOP caucus. #housevotes #speakerofthehouse
Scalise seems reasonable, Jordan definitely not.

McCarthy is getting what he deserves. He made too many deals with the devil. He sucked up to Trump too many times. Now it’s blowing back in his face for the world to see. If he loses this will be the 2nd time that he’s been booted out of the speakership. Don’t forget he tried this before in 2015 & Speaker Boehner blocked that from happening. That’s how Paul Ryan got his job. #kevinmccarthy #votes #chaos #speakership #houseofrepresentatives #housevotes #loser # trump #politics #blackmastodon

The 6th time is not the charm, it appears.
Has anyone ever waited for long hours in a hospital waiting room and everyone got punchy? That's kinda my vibe. "Let it end; please don't let it end."

Got to love that #LaurenBoebert is sitting next to #GeorgeSantos during the #HouseVotes. Fascist pigs of a feather, I guess.
