SECOND BALLOT

JOHNSON -97
OTHER - 34
DONALDS - 31
GREEN - 21
WILLIAMS - 20

Green drops. Williams out.

Other continues to show strength, a bad sign for Johnson.

Whoops. It turns out when you elect clowns into office, you get a circus.

Who could have expected this?

At this point, let's just put Pennywise the Dancing Clown on the ballot.

After all, he best represents the GOP as a whole.

That...actually makes a lot of sense. Thinking about what he is and his power, it is very metaphorical.

At this point, might as well elect a random citizen.

Nothing dictates that the speaker has to speak for the majority of the House, right?

Except ignore the "start over" part. Just throw them out.

It's actually hilarious that they think they will nominate and agree at this point.

Johnson isn't bothering rallying 217 votes in conference, he's going straight to a floor vote in 13 hours.

So prime entertainment coming tomorrow.

At this point there won't be a speaker until democrats win the house.

Stupid questions since I don't know procedural rules, can they swear in new members if they don't have a speaker?

I can confirm people in my area have a hard time understanding this. Like, even just trying to explain they shouldn't struggle to elect someone.
It'd be nice if Biden doesn't get blamed for shutdowns but he gets blamed for everything for the average person who really doesn't get politics.

I'm perfectly willing to see the whole system fall apart if means getting rid of the GOP once and for all

They've more than committed themselves to acting like spoiled petulant children who throw hissy fits when they don't get their way.
Anyone who seriously thinks they're going to suck it up and do the right thing for the greater good is delusional.

I for one am enjoying this mess while we can. We, in theory, need a functioning Congress to address the budget, but in the meantime let these jerks struggle.

Plus, in reality a GOP speaker doesn't guarantee a functioning Congress anyway. This might be a lot of effort for little reward.

This. A Republican Speaker is what every government shutdown has in common.

I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream
Could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release

Leopards without a face
Leopards without a face
Leopards without a face
Got no human grace
They're leopards without a face

Obviously the GOP is not going to go away, but the more pain and division between the two groups could cause a full on splintering, which would be good for helping to fully drive the MAGA's back out of government.
