Republican Civil War Watch UPDATE 1/7/23: Repub McCarthy wins control of Speaker of the House (Lost 14x prior)

[NotAnFBIagent]

Steve Scalise passes Kevin McCarthy in Speaker of the House odds through five rounds of voting

What's going on here? Are the Republican holdouts just trolling at this point?

No this has traction, it’s only grown in support of other candidates

Democrats in the house are openly laughing at these clowns not having any of their shyt together

I don’t know the rules of the house, but what would happen if Jeffries gets 7 Republican votes for the needed 219?

He would become speaker. There's no world where this happens though, as those 7 Republicans lives would literally be in danger from the MAGA cult.

He'd be, as far as I know, the first minority Speaker. Someone needs to fact check me on that.

If those dufus Republican members of the House of Representatives cannot even elect a Speaker of the House then they have no chance of getting any actual legislation passed in the next 2 years. Actually they weren't going to do anything to help the USA anyway so that is not the worse thing in the World.

That would never happen. That would go against the Republican base’s #1 commandment - own the libs.

What does my man have tied up in all of this that he’s willing to press the issue like this?

Then he would be the House speaker (for now) and those seven Republicans' homes would probably be firebombed by angry MAGAs

Would never happen though, that would basically be a career-ending move for any Republicans.

This is Republicans, not "politics" generally.

Politics has it's drawbacks but this House majority is about to be comically useless

Right, throw the whole politics away cause "both sides" have done this before right?

Or wait, is it just one side that elected a retarded racist treasonous mass murdering punk who then tried to overthrow the entire US government so that he could declare himself king, and now after pledging their allegiance to him, this party is full of idiots just like him who want to do everything but govern the country?
