Delicious indeed. Actual governance would be tastier, but for now, this is tasty enough given the circumstances if it leads to more functional tastiness in the future.
Delicious indeed. McCarthy continues to lose even with tfg’s blessing. May they continue imploding & devouring each other. & may America vote them all gone asap. Thank you, once again, Charlotte! HaPpY, hApPy 2023.
Great summary - the last year has certainly taught me a lot about the mechanics of our government. What a Rube Goldberg system we have! I second Elizabeth Kent - "decline to vote" only helps McCarthy if a Dem does it, in this instance.
"It’s been offered that some Republicans may vote “present” or decline to vote in order to make a statement on McCarthy, while lowering the threshold for their colleagues."'
I hadn't thought of this. The Chaos Caucus has the easy way out but won't take it. Anyone who still thinks the GOP is interesting in governing (rather than ruling) is not paying attention at all.

I have a question... who, exactly is holding the GOP hostage? The MAGAs or the Never-McCarthyites? It's all so confusing.

Thank you Charlotte. I didn't know how this worked. I appreciate everything you do.
Amen to that last line!
