Another little historical tidbit from the NYT.
This is now the ninth most protracted speaker election in U.S. history, according to House records. We’re heading for a fifth vote; the eight elections that took longer required nine, 10, 11, 12, 22, 44, 63 and 133 votes.

It's all about your people skills. (from NYT)
Representative-elect Anna Paulina Luna, who is one of the incoming freshmen not supporting McCarthy, tells me that “there were some members that felt very disrespected” by McCarthy during the closed-door meeting of lawmakers ahead of the first vote yesterday. She says she believed it “pushed them into a category that I don’t think that they’ll ever vote” for McCarthy.

IF mccarthy had one fucking scrap of integrity he would remove him. The body serves as it's own arbiter of member fitness...They can refuse to seat him.speaking of lies, it appears that his Niagara of bullshit is not a firing offense.

mccarthy won't shit can the piece of shit, because he can count on his vote...They're both despicable, deplorable filth with no business representing the interests of the American people.
mccarthy might actually pick up a few votes by getting rid of santos...but they're both so immersed in evil that doing anything good doesn't even occur to them.

we knew all we need to know about his integrity two years ago. He voted against certifying Biden’s win. All else is sprinkles and a cherry.
Amid DC violence, these California Republicans voted to reject Biden's election
In a futile maneuver that did not stop Biden's win, almost all Republican members of Congress from California voted to challenge the election results.

the good news is that That Man has lost his power. Honey BoeBoe basically told him to pound sand.
The bad news is that this puts that little bit much in a position of power.

That Man is solidly on the hind hoof. This is a scrabble for succession.Wanna bet?
There's only 20 teabaggers who won't vote for him. They'll come around.
Gotta do it for The Donald, donchya know.
