There have been 14 instances of Speaker elections requiring multiple ballots (the records for the 2nd Congress, 1791–1793, are inconclusive, and the House has filled vacancies in the Speakership three times using a resolution). Thirteen of 14 multiple-ballot elections occurred before the Civil War, when party divisions were more nebulous. The last time a Speaker election required two or more votes on the floor happened in 1923.

    So was mandating vaccines for office workers and going to the gym. That was cool though.

    Looks like the Magatard cult of personality was bullshit. Like everything else

    Trump backs McCarthy. As does the establishment

    It's about issues and finding the most effective advocate out of an imperfect field

    I believe this removes Trump from that position

    Dazzler doesn't understand it when people take principled positions. It's so foreign to his way of thinking he can't process it.

    Remember, the Dazzler was a proud member of the "Resistance" who still pushes the Russian collusion lie.

    Was there ever any doubt that the DIM media would play this for all its worth and that gullible idiots like Dazzler would lap it up like a good little stooge.

    Thanks for continuing to prove that the insurrection term means nothing.

    This entire process has been very revealing of how this entire systems works, or doesn't work. You'll notice that the Dazzler's and the Mellow's have no issues with Congress passing last minute $1.7 trillion dollar spending deals that nobody reads and spends money we don't have. That's perfectly fine and not a threat to anything. Meanwhile, voting and holding out for the ability to stop the garbage like the Omnibus spending bill is "anarchy" and a threat to democracy.

    Again, Dazzler the fiscal conservative feels no embarrassment for the $1.7 trillion Omnibus. Voting is what embarrasses the Dazzler.

    Things the dazzler doesn't want an up or down vote on -

    Open US borders
    Closed Ukraine borders
    Opening up US oil and gas production
    Affirmative Action
    You name any leftard program - CRT, Grooming, Men in women sports and prisons etc.

    Watching fake conservatives bitching out and losing their minds right now is worth the lost 3 days of uniparty rule.

    The party that argued it needed to be in charge couldn't even agree on a speaker before the vote and instead conducts its intrafamily feuds on teevee.

    #Leadership!

    What embarrassment?

    Imagine that you vote for the party that showcases Guam tip over Hank, Cori Bush, Fauxchahontas, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, lurch, karine jean-pierre, a whole group of anti-semitic Jew haters, etc, etc, etc. Then imagine actually criticizing any other party. At all.

    The lack of humility, shame, empathy for other Americans and introspection defines people like hh.

    At least there is a Constitutional wing of the Republican party. You may have hear the terms "uniparty" and "swamp". I don't consider MAGA or America First or Follow the Constitution to be hate speech which your side wants banned. My side didn't want unconstitutional mandates and your side wanted medical care denied for non-vaxxers.

    Yeah, independent thinkers can be troublesome at times right hh? Congress should always be run by huns like pelosi who threaten the political careers of her pathetic dem elects if they don't vote like she tells them to vote.

    I'm old enough to remember a serious Republican Party. Of course, you were a Democrat then. I haven't moved.
