Are we sure Gaetz isn't bought off by Dark Brandon? He's really laying into McCarthy and others.

Bye, Kevin! Don't let the gavel smack you in the forehead on your way out!

Dems slow walking votes to get more people in as a couple are absent. Pelosi on her way from the airport.

Edit: Looks like Pelosi may stay in San Francisco to attend funeral services for the next couple days. So she maybe a no show.

How many times did Gaetz say "Chaos"?

This is what happens when you go against the far right

Seems like Dems propping him up so he doesn’t need the alt-right would have better than giving the alt-right more control of the party.

Do we think Gaetz gets speaker next?

Does Andy Biggs have Trumps cock in his mouth? He's mumbling so fucking much.

Eight Republicans against McCarthy after the first reading.

Official notice is coming soon -- MCCARTHY has unofficially been removed from the speakership

I don't understand why they can't do these votes electronically and have it over in a minute or two.

Domestic terrorists have taken over the US government, destabilizing our country. Downgrading our credit rating seems deserved at this point.

Wow this Rep. Bob Good is one annoying S.O.B.
