      @Mik supposedly 4 Republicans voted for the insurrectionist election denier.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          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.

          Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                        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.

                            I was only joking

                              Does not sound very resolute.

                                One option for concrete concession to Dems for votes.

                                  Five rounds of voting and McCarthy is still not elected.

                                    So we effectively have 3 parties in the House now.
