Rep. Matt Gaetz Nominates Trump For Speaker

Top Trolling - "C'Mon Man" ! Admit It, This Would Be Hilarious

A Radical Dispatch

The Background

The House Republican Party in the US Congress has been locked in days of embarrassing deadlock by being unable to agree upon a new Speaker for the House to fill the position that Nancy Pelosi finally vacated after a career so long in politics that technically she could have ordered the assassination of JFK.

After the Unexpected-by-Swamp-Dwellers failure of the Republicans to win a landslide in the US mid-terms the GOP had at least hoped for a sense of victory in taking over control of the House agenda. The swamp’s expectation was that Rep. Kevin McCarthy would be the natural choice for Speaker since he was already Majority Leader.

How wrong they were.

California Rep. Ted Lieu trolled the House GOP by holding a bag of popcorn while Kevin McCarthy lost the first speaker vote on Tuesday.

The winning Republican can only afford to lose 5 votes! McCarthy already lost 6… and now 7! Republican ‘rebels’ are coalescing around Jim Jordan. And GAETZ, who initially voted for Biggs…

And again.

thepostmillennial.comBREAKING: 20 GOP back Byron Donalds as Kevin McCarthy loses fourth vote for House SpeakerAll 20 members of the GOP who opposed McCarthy continued to do so, casting their votes for Byron Donalds. Victoria Spartz of Indiana voted “present.” McCarthy did not gain any votes between the third and fourth votes.

It's like watching an episode of reality TV in groundhog mode: "McCarthy Loses 7th Vote for Speaker as House Heads Into 8th"

nytimes.comHouse Adjourns Again With No Resolution on SpeakerKevin McCarthy’s speakership bid failed for an 11th time, after his latest concessions failed to win over enough Republican hard-liners. The chamber has been deadlocked for three days and cannot move on to any other business until a speaker is chosen. Lawmakers will return at noon Friday.

Philip Klein @philipaklein

What if Kevin McCarthy threatened to cut off a finger every time he loses a vote?

At around which time this happened.

Disclose.tv @disclosetv

JUST IN - Trump endorses Kevin McCarthy in all caps.

And even this.

Elon Musk @elonmusk

Kevin McCarthy should be Speaker

But none of that made a bit of difference.

Because by now it was obvious that everyone would just rather count to ten.

Yuh-Line Niou @yuhline

Kevin McCarthy just lost the speaker vote for the 8th time in a row. Imagine if this is what it is like now in the house. For every vote. From now until we win back the house.

C’mon man! Count With Me

JD @cozyhoosier_

McCarthy loses the 9th Speaker vote.

Aaaaand 10!

VANITY FAIR @VanityFair

Stop trying, Kevin, and let someone else take over. Your time is up. U.S. House speaker vote: GOP leader McCarthy loses 11th ballot

cnbc.comU.S. House adjourns for third night without a speaker as McCarthy scrambles to find deal with far-right RepublicansThe absence of a speaker left the House in disarray, largely due to the fact that rank-and-file members can’t be sworn into office until a speaker is elected.

Boy Ya Shoulda Kown By Now, The WEF is TOXIC

In defence, technically they would distinguish between Speaker and Majority Leader, but:

Somebody forgot to send the @wef the memo to at least pander to the *perception* of democracy & wait until *after* the disputed votes are resolved before announcing the new House Speaker weforum.org/people/kevin-m…
