There needs to be a close door session to find a consensus alternative tonight.  GOP leadership needs to give Kev some tough love.

Jordon or Scalise, though not my favorite choice seem to be the logical picks.

[DefiantMassRINO]

For a pack of wild dogs, the leader is usually strong enough to win on the first ballot.

McCarthy had months to do what neeeded to be done.

Political expediency is not an acceptable excuse for avoiding the hard work the American people need to be done.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Just think how much money taxpayers would save if this fight continues through June.

How?  The budget's already set through 2023.

And picture the humiliation of having to vacate the Speaker's office.  Kev's not going down without at worst making a deal with satan (the Democratic Party)

[DefiantMassRINO]

Time spent picking a Speaker is time spent not voting on "frameworks" for more spending and for more open borders.

[catfish1957]

Budgets are alocation of funds....

Outlays are actual funds spent.....

That is how and why we determine surpluses or deficits for each fiscal year.

I vote for a surplus.

[Free Vulcan]

Now I want McCarthy to lose because he's just a general dumba**. Who let's it go this long? Crap or get off the pot 6 time loser.

[240B]

If he turns the committees over to the Dems, then we are back to Jan 1 2022 right out of the gate.
Nothing good will happen. The intentional destruction of America as a Nation will simply continue, with no pause.

[DefiantMassRINO]

Has Kevin McCarthy ceded the Sudetenland, yet, to get more votes for Speaker?

[Free Vulcan]

Has Kevin McCarthy ceded the Sudetenland, yet, to get more votes for Speaker?

Probably offered to split Poland too...

[Hoodat]

You really think having a budget is going to block Congress from spending more money it doesn't have?

‘This Is Insulting!’ Ex-Trump Spox Blasts ‘White’ Republicans For ‘Using Black Republicans As Shields’ After Byron Donalds Nom

Katrina Pierson, once a longtime spokesperson for former President Donald Trump, ripped Republicans after they nominated Florida Congressman Byron Donalds to be speaker of the House, taking away one more vote from Rep. Kevin McCarthy.

The big political story this week is McCarthy’s tumultuous bid to become speaker amid a revolt from House conservatives, a story which has culminated so far with five votes in which outgoing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy failed to secure a win.

Spartz calls for ‘productive conversation’ after withdrawing McCarthy support for speaker

Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN), a past McCarthy supporter, voted "present" on the fourth and fifth ballot to elect the next speaker of the House in an effort to allow for more negotiations within the conference to address the concerns of 20 Republicans who voted against Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) bid.

“My concern right now is that Republicans haven't come together yet. So we have to go back to the conference room and deliberate, as divided as a group of people, and figure it out,” Spartz said to reporters as she walked off the House floor. “How we can get people’s concerns addressed, how we can make sure that people, you know, who are unhappy with one thing and have a productive conversation.”

The current process is to spend money they don't have ("spending frameworks"), ask for a higher credit limit ("debt ceiling") to borrow money ("US Treasury Bonds / Federal Debt") necessary to pay for things purchased in previous years.

[Free Vulcan]

At the T's and at 20 votes for Mr. Donalds.

[DB]

The current process is to spend money they don't have ("spending frameworks"), ask for a higher credit limit ("debt ceiling") to borrow money ("US Treasury Bonds / Federal Debt") necessary to pay for things purchased in previous years.

They've been skipping the US Treasury bond step and just creating money out of thin air.

[corbe]

[DefiantMassRINO]

The Federal Reserve had been buying US Treasury Bonds to manipulate interest rates lower.

The Fed has stopped buying debt, and that's why interest rates are increasing and the M2 money supply is decreasing.

[Free Vulcan]

The Donalds bloc has held again.

So Pierson is a racist.

[corbe]

   Boebert is talking to Donalds on the House floor.

[DefiantMassRINO]

The GOP has an opportunity to attract African-American voters and candidates away from a Dem party that has failed them for the past 50-60 years.

Pierson can eat yellow snow.

Unofficial vote tally for 6th Speaker vote:
Jeffries 212
McCarthy 201
Donalds 20
Present 1

[corbe]

   IMHO Chip Roy's nomination of Donalds is a stall tactic.  This will break in a whole different direction as some have already predicted.
