Three Times And No Charm!

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is an embarrassment.

The Republicans cannot govern. It is a true failure of how one party cannot handle the solutions America voted their asses in.

No House Speaker as of tonight. 

No speaker means no swearing of legislators. No committee assignments. No paychecks.

The House of Representatives had adjourned without selecting a House Speaker. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was embarrassed not once, not twice but three times by the do-nothing lawmakers of the Freedumb Caucasians. Also to add insult to injury, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), a Black coonservative lawmaker switched his support from McCarthy to Ohio's most polarizing do-nothing Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the incoming Minority Leader got more votes to be the House Speaker. Democrats stayed unified in the voting and there were no intentions of supporting McCarthy. 

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had comment on how the Republicans failed to elect a speaker. 

"For many of us here who have served in the Congress, we respect the institution, and it would have been my hope that out of respect for the institution, the other side could have resolved their differences because they have the majority. And really, the public impression of this is not as respectful of the institution," Pelosi told reporters as lawmakers spent hours trying to elect the speaker.

Pelosi only had less than five members in her 2021 bid and 15 in her 2019 bid when Democrats had a comfortable majority.

McCarthy did everything to appease these idiots and yet they will not back him.

The failed votes marked the first time in 100 years that the majority party in the House has not elected a speaker on its first vote. The staunch opposition to McCarthy from a core group of Republicans grew larger over the course of the day, throwing the party into chaos.

As a result of Donalds’ defection, McCarthy won 202 of the 218 votes needed to secure the post in the third round, one vote less than he had in the first two ballots.

Jordan, who nominated and voted for McCarthy, won 20 votes in the third round. Jeffries, the incoming Democratic minority leader, won 212 votes in each of the three rounds.

Following the vote, Donalds suggested his caucus take a break from voting.

“The reality is Rep. Kevin McCarthy doesn’t have the votes,” Donalds wrote on Twitter. “I committed my support to him publicly and for two votes on the House Floor. 218 is the number, and currently, no one is there.

“Our conference needs to recess and huddle and find someone or work out the next steps, but these continuous votes aren’t working for anyone,” Donalds wrote. “When the dust settles, we will have a Republican Speaker, now is the time for our conference to debate and come to a consensus.”

McCarthy got 95% of the Republican Party backing and it does not make fucking sense for the far right members to play this game. If he does get the Speaker bid, he could strip all members opposing him their committee assignments.

McCarthy has even brought video games, ice cream, pizza and Chick-fil-A for these idiots. I doubt a full belly and a handful of taxpayer dollars on video games will change these assholes' minds.

The far right agitators are split on this. Tucker Carlson endorses the noise. Sean "Softball" Hannity calls it a clown show.

It appears the Republicans are in disarray.
