McCarthy just struck a deal with Gaetz so they may not adjourn.

Now 48. I don't get what is going on here. Thought GOP favored adjournment.

But wait, there's more! Apparently, according to CNN reporting, Matt Gaetz has agreed to flip to YES on McCarthy.

MQG rushed a phone over to Rosendale and the caller was "DT". He voted PRESENT on 14. So who TF knows.

Meanwhile, this punk who runs the NY Young Republicans Club posted this:

They’re gonna go for another vote.
McCarthy and Gaetz may have struck a deal on the floor.

Gaetz got his pony.

The only better ending is if Gosar or someone else flips back and he still doesn't have the votes.

Motion to adjourn fails. They have to stay in session for a 15th vote. How many members want to punch Matt Gaetz's face in?

McCarthy now being nominated again.

Maybe the GOP found one more vote for McCarthy.

Marge 3 Toes tries to hand her phone to McCarthy.

Now who do ya suppose DT is?



Woulda been hilarious if it was Nick’s Pizza. Yeah, been watching The Blacklist.

I haven't been following it this evening, what's happening with the HAHAHAHAHAH HE LOST AGAIN AND A HOCKEY FIGHT ALMOST BROKE OUT

[Luke]

The Distinguished GOP.

[SuzieC]

Rep. Rogers is wearing an obvious wig. Too bad he didn't get close enough to punch Gaetz in the face. GOP needed to put up a stronger and younger face puncher. Rep. Gallagher is young and good looking, though despicable.

Looks like the ultraMAGA holdouts are going to vote present. That will allow Kevin to win while they will be able to say they never voted for him. What a copout, but their drooling MAGA base will eat it up.

Trump just spoke to Gaetz and Biggs, source says

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/ ... index.html

Former President Donald Trump spoke to Reps. Andy Biggs and Matt Gaetz, calling them while they were on the House floor, a source told CNN.

He called after it appeared Rep. Kevin McCarthy was not going to secure the speakership.

[Suranis]

Well there goes McCarthys last hope for victory.
