I think you're right. It will be interesting to see exactly what he conceded. It seems like kinda a lot.

According to the news

On the 14th round of voting, Representative Matt Gaetz withheld his vote, prompting a scuffle in which fellow Republican Mike Rogers had to be physically pulled away

What kind of shit clown show is this?!?

Did some Rep want to punch Gaetz? If so, I wish they would spare the gavel and let them MMA it out.

They say one rep lunged at him. The video shows another rep holding him back.

The restraining was much more forceful than any actual lunge so maybe the incident involved threatening language.

The Democrats hold the record for losses in this, FYI. The Republican candidate lost 14 times in a row. But the Democrat candidate lost 15 times in a row. The Democrats were trying to get bi-partisan support on Jefferies as speaker and repeatedly failed.

Democrats are not the party with the majority, therefore they weren't expected to win.  However, I find it rather entertaining (and rather telling) how many times Jefferies was closer to winning than McCarthy, even after McCarthy made so many significant concessions.

Yes, he was close to winning, and actively invited bi-partisan votes. He still lost 15 times in a row though. He could have compromised with Republican agenda and could have potentially won. He didn't.

I think the repugnicans are the ones with the egg on their face after this. The fracture within itself was on display for all to see

The dems though should have had realistic expectations and just surprised and backed Kevin from the start before he had to appease the demented wing of the repugs.

Somebody got into Gaetz's face and he changed his vote...   twitter is wondering what was said,  because Gaetz looks worried.

Less gibs for Ukraine, apparently.

That's pretty sweet.

Good play Matt.
Why would that be inciting terrorism?  Lorddave was merely describing a type of shop we have here in the US, a bomb-gun shop.  A shop that sells bomb-guns.

Oho.

Another one.

No extremist jews to speak of.

Clearly.

I wonder which Abrahamic religion is Croutons favourite?

I'm not a fan of him.  He's very bias and uses extreme language.  He's basically a calm Fox News.

I do not like either.  Your assessment is correct.


very sassy while calm
like the CNN guy acosta guy
also sassy
