I LOL'd. Saw a recording of a conservative commentator (Scott Jennings) on CNN saying if they elect a temporary Speaker, he's so close to McCarthy, it will be the biggest circle jerk in the history of circles, or jerks.

I don't know any softer socially acceptable benign meaning of that expression which is why it made me lol.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Well, Jordan has already lost a couple people that he had yesterday.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy…

This circle jerk is brought to you by the Insane Clown Posse wing of the Republican Party. I understand that parties will have different factions and we have seen both Democrats and Republicans criticize members on their own sides...but this would never have happened to the Democrat Party were they in power.

I am not for everyone working in lockstep, but elect a Speaker and go back to normal bickering...

Jordan won’t seek a third Speaker vote.

Rough day for these two patriots!

Extreme rightwing maybe will figure out you actually need a certain amount of support in actual numbers and not use your typical delusional expectations. Maybe.

Not hopeful, but maybe they will figure out how things actually are in reality.

Just kidding!

Third speaker vote tomorrow at 10am. Should be enough time to threaten the holdouts with death.

One Jordan-supporting member of the House is in Israel on a “fact finding mission” (huh?) so Gym’s margin is even smaller today.

Several folks have taken trips there during the past few weeks. He probably realized the futility of endless votes when no one seems to be budging from their positions and decided to go ahead with the trip.

Lots of people go on this kind of trips. I wonder what they do with the facts when they return...

No Speaker from this vote...

I must admit, I do enjoy watching Gym Jordan getting publicly humiliated over and over again.

It sounds like he's hoping that four times is a charm. Are there any five-leaf clovers?
