Okay Gaetz, that was actually funny.

And if he wants to get laid, he's going to high...you know what, the mods might misconstrue me reminding everyone that Matt Gaetz is being investigated for trafficking minors across state lines for the purpose of sex as me advocating for statutory rape, so I'm not going to finish that sentence.

Does anyone believe Gaetz is doing this without Trump's blessing/insistence? Trump was insisting McCarthy shut the government down because he thought it would end his legal woes.

The Democrats need to find the few house Republicans that aren't insane and make a deal to pick an outsider to be a non partisan, consensus steward as speaker. One that won't play stupid games, bring things up for a vote consistently, no stonewalling or fucking with everything. At least until the budget is passed.

It's better than anything that the lunatic Republicans want, it could actually get shit done, and means that maybe there will be useful governance until the Dems retake the house and put in a competent partisan.

The Republicans have the majority in the House. It's not on the Democrats to fix their mess for them. If McCarthy or some other Republican wants to make a deal with Democrats for the speakership they can try it but they better have something good to offer. Otherwise, the Democrats don't need to do anything but vote Jeffries and watch the Republican clown show play out.

Without Democratic/moderate Dem support McCarthy is likely toast.

They offered to prop him up in exchange for concessions/rule changes in the House. McCarthy said "no" and the Dem response was "aight not our problem then"

Do they then have to vote for a new speaker? Its not Gaetz right.

Yeah, if the House doesn't have a speaker, the only thing they can do is vote on a new speaker. They can't do anything else whatsoever without a speaker.

Gaetz is less popular with Republicans than McCarthy. Zero chance he becomes speaker.

It should be pointed out that McCarthy did this to himself, not because he made deals or actually tried to accomplish something with House votes, but because he handed the MAGA loons the ability to call for a vote with only one person requesting it.

Dumbass.

From what I understand, they're voting on a motion to table house resolution 757 (vacate the speaker chair)

A motion to table is a motion to postpone or suspend... So they're basically voting on whether they're going to delay voting for HR757 or not...

Yea = Suspend/Delay the vote on HR757
Nay = Vote on HR757 now

*I think*

I could be wrong
