US House in chaos after Republican
Kevin McCarthy loses speaker votes
Three times he tried
but was short by around 20 votes
Tomorrow they try Again.
[On a day of political drama not
seen in Congress for a century,
Republican leader Kevin McCarthy
repeatedly failed in his bid to be elected
Speaker of the US House of Representatives.]
[The House adjourned without a speaker
on Tuesday night - the first time since
1923 they had failed to choose a leader
after a first round vote.]

Does not matter,
He has stated he does not want that position.
19 Republicans
are halting it all.
Crazy System they have
no solution.

DeSantis seems to be what everyone hoped Trump would be.
That's premature, sure, he's not President yet, but blahh
its like the tory party or labour party choosing their leader for the term in parliament. What would be the chances of an mp getting the support of the majority of the HoC at the moment? :laugh:

True. As far as I know American political parties don't have "leaders", leastways not in the way ours do.
I'm fairly ignorant and indifferent to American politics when it's not funny but isn't their Speaker ssssort ooooooffff analogous to our Prime Minister?

The speaker is 3rd in line to be president after the VP so, constitutionally it is the most senior politician. They basically set the agenda for what gets voted on in the house and what the oversight priorities are.
America has 3 branches of government with checks and balances between them .... Executive (the president and his team), legislative (the 2 houses of congress) and judicial. The same principles are then replicated in each state

Ex–Ohio State Wrestler Says Rep. Jim Jordan Asked Him to Deny Abuse Allegations
Ohio representative and former Ohio State University wrestling coach Jim Jordan aided and abetted in the university's cover-up of sexual abuse within the program, a former team captain said in front of Ohio state legislators on Wednesday.
"Jim Jordan called me crying, groveling, begging me to go against my brother, begging me, crying for a half-hour," DiSabato said Wednesday. "That’s the kind of cover-up that’s going on there."

Yup. did you see my post in the other thread?
I'll post the clip again. The back story is that this is one of the Q lot who thinks Hillary eats babies and all dems are paedophiles. You have to watch to the very end and it will blow your mind.

Lifelong ambition bumping into the reality that he's not going to get there, is probably taking some time to settle in to his brain, that's why he's showing such desperation.
Those that are so desperate for power that they are pulling stunts like this, are the very people that shouldn't be anywhere near power.

He will clearly never get the support of the house
The Slim Reaper

He will. He's made a deal to attack medicare and social security in the upcoming debt ceiling battle, which will affect seniors, the poor, and disabled people the most. Republicans love that stuff. If he doesn't do exactly what they want, then they can remove him instantly.
They've got him over a barrel.
The anons believe that Q predicted this in one of the Q drops from the same date in 2018.
So this was apparently a Q drop from 7th January 2018. This is what the anons call a "delta" I believe that's when something happens on the same date from a Q drop.
So because this was 5 years ago, they call it a "5 year delta"
McCarthy won at the 15th attempt. I'm led to believe that he won past midnight which would make it the 7th of January.
Whether you believe it or not, and of course it doesn't prove anything, it is interesting stuff.
I don't know who Katie Rude is, but she wants you to tell her that Q is a conspiracy theory. So you can click on the twitter post of hers and tell her if you like? Get her Toy Soldier.
