the 2023 speaker of the house voting thread of implosion

At the turn: 
There are Republicans who apparently pledged to vote Jordan on the first ballot only. My guess is that they will go for two, so he needs to pick up some flips. If the number gets under 6-7 my guess is that he passes on 3rd ballot. If the number goes higher or stays the same on the second ballot, the body language in the room tells me they adjourn for the day.  In the middle, we get a third ballot and he will lose.

What is the point of voting when you know you don't have the votes?

This is amazingly stupid.

Desperation. They thought they’d pressure the holdouts.

Someone just voted Jeffries and there was a bunch of groaning. What was that about?

Because they stood up and seemed to forget who they were voting for.

I don't want to know why your auto-correct switches Jordan to Korean.  But I would suggest using a different browser in privacy mode for your other activities.

Who TF is Zeldin?

Lee Zeldin.  An insurrectionist from NY who unsuccessfully ran for Governor, but was previously a rep from Long Island.

While McCarthy was going through his votes, the House hadn't established the rules so CSPAN was able to pan their cameras to show any and all actions in the House. Will today be the same, or will their rules prevent that? The best part of the McCarthy votes was watching who was talking to who. 

I'm also curious to see the line of guys waiting to sit to Boebert's right.

Santos is in the catbird seat.

14 "others".  Do they bend the knee or does the GOP look for another solution?

Considering that Scalise and McCarthy voted for Jordan, I’m guessing they try to fuck this pig st least one more time. But let’s see how the vote ends. It’s at 15 now, I bet they think they can get 12 to flip.

It's the entertainment we all deserve on this fine Tuesday.

I'm fucking loving this.  I'm sitting here doing nothing because it's Zoom office hours and none of my students have shown up.  I'm getting paid to watch these monkeys fling shit.
