I'd love to see a deal between McCarthy and the Democrats to have 50 dems vote present in return for (1) no shutdown/debt ceiling brinkmanship and (2) a promise to always allow Ukraine funding a floor vote.

Never underestimate the ability of these idiots to fuck up a one-car funeral procession.

I thought it might, but it didn’t. Makes Trump look impotent and increases the (still small) odds for a deal with Dems.

I’m starting to wonder if there exists a candidate that could get 218 Republican votes. That slim majority cuts both ways.

“Where there is discord may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. Where there is despair, may we bring hope.”
Or maybe just bring popcorn.

Does not sound very resolute.

Five rounds of voting and McCarthy is still not elected.

So we effectively have 3 parties in the House now.
