They get to vote 11. Times people only get to vote 1. Time ??????
Have you watched any of these votes live yet? Talk about boring and a waste of time! It's nothing short of a social hour, with many not even there or they're walking around and standing talking to somebody. Is this what we pay for in our Government? Apparently so. Many will say the Senate and House work hard for the public. I strongly disagree.
mccarthy reminds me of the school dweeb trying to date the prom queen. not going to happen

He is coming back soon😊♥️……..
Pelosi was a democrat right? So it should be 50/50. Its democratic led atm, but still would be a rep in turn for house speaker.
New day new problem God help us
The world is heading towards depression because of the economic destruction from the pandemic, the govt make the rules then blithely break the rules, the rich are hardly affected by the economic problems. It is always the poor who takes the hit. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✅
on the the 11th try with the long nay vote to adjourn by democraps, It looks like the Democrats are playing the republican holdouts for suckers if they think they are draining the swamp.
it was a democrap congress majority that pushed the 1.7 trillion bill thru with members of congress that were voted out of office.
instead of messing around file a criminal complaint in court for being decieved concerning a congressional bill & lack of time to review it
thru ommission .
thats draining the swamp.
The senate had no problem adding over 1000 changes to the bill that representatives were left in the dark about the senate candyland changes to get it appeoved in the senate.
thats part of the ommission to decieve.
Basically the Senate Majority leader embezzeled the taxpayer for money the government doesnt have for favors.
Basically the Senate Majority leader embezzeled the taxpayer for money the government doesnt have for favors while denying parts of the Country representation in congress
trying to legitimize the procedure.
i cant believe im cheering on gaetz and boebert
i hope they can keep this up for 2 years
I feel like the Republicans should have tried switching out McCarthy after three or four rounds of voting at the most. This is ridiculous because it means none of the Congress is doing its job they are being paid to do.
Can someone explain why it's legally possible to not get the vote 11 times in a row? Surely there's a better way.
Yes I love it when our government fails I love seeing the government SHOOK and in FEAR
At this point McCarthy will have zero power or influence as speaker. Pick someone else.
Republicans dealing with Republicans…..What could go wrong.👎👎
THIS IS THE CORRUPTION OF CONGRESS ON FULL DISPLAY ITS CUZ THEY ALL ARE DEMANDING COMMITTEE SEATS THAT'S WHY THEY WONT VOTE 🤣 THIS IS CORRUPTION OF CONGRESS…ALSO NBC IS PROPAGANDA
They should just retire time for some new blood and more progressive governing body!!!Tukeys do more in a day then these old white" boraguards !!"🤣😅😆😃😀😉🙃🙂😉😎
How many rounds of voting are there?
The Democrats should make them stay until the Republicans give up and vote not present!
I've watched a train wreck, and even been in a helicopter crash. Nether of those were anywhere close to the level of chaos the Republicans are showing to be a feature in their party.
Describing the looney deplorables as "extreme conservatives" is the height of ignorance – there's nothing "conservative" about them. They are about as radical as it gets – far from respecting and preserving institutions, they're all about tearing them down!
Let’s go round again 😂
😂😂😂 Crazy crooked fools!
So let me get this straight, Mccarthy lost and threw a hissy fit like a 12yr old girl?
Congress can no longer perform basic functions. There needs to be an entire overhaul. The American people need to fire every single one of them.
Republicans are tired of the swamp. There are far too many corrupt politicians in Washington — Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, McCarthy… America deserves better. 🇺🇸
How long can this hold up the function of govt ? By Gaetz nominating Trump he has opened up the possibility of a Speaker of the House not being an elected member of Congress. What happens if the Democrats nominate an idependant non elected person? And then back that person with the help of 10 Republicans?? 10 Republicans who say present but do not actually vote?
This is the biggest difference between parties, the Dems work together, the republicans always fight between themselves…
One round should have been enough….get back to work!!!!
If McCarthy doesn't get the speakership, his entire political career will be a joke, and with every vote he loses, the punchline keeps getting bigger and bigger.
He goes to margo lamo every night and begs to the behemoth, please please make them all vote for me.
I fear if this isn't resolved soon, the MAGAchuds will simply install George Santos as Speaker.
And he's no better than Jim "Shorts" Jordan. 🤦🏻♂️
LMAO! This is the GOP governing: chaos, division, incompetence. I'm sure their donors are loving this, wonder when they'll start pulling their leashes.
A bunch of babbling fools running the Washington circus
Maybe an Independent should be speaker of the House.
Trump was hired to decay the GOP with the GQP from within, and it worked. GOPers should switch to Independent. Keep the republic, not the republican party.
Ok. So does that mean we don't have to have government anymore? Because, quite frankly, I'm over it. 😁
If Kevin drops out, how can the GOP be saved or even become popular again?
