I give McCarthy about the time it takes for a fetal heartbeat to show up.

Of course,'like every conservative, it's going to be another Republican pushing for an abortion.

On come on, you're from Minnesota, their celebrating over this is pretty much the political version of the Vikings celebrating their comeback against a Colts team they should never have been behind by so much in the first place.

Dude, Vikings fans have never gotten it up.
 
Being serious for a moment.

Is Dean Philips the next MN Senator and/or rising democratic star? He's been involved in a lot of proceedings over the past week. Saw his face a number of times.
 
I had zero clue who Hakeem Jeffries was prior to the start of the 118th congress, and now, during his opening remarks I'm amped up and want to run through a brick wall for him.

He has been extremely good during this whole fiasco. His staff seems excellent.

Helpful summary of the derpfest finale episode:

After four days of deadlock and embarrassing defeats not seen in a century, House Speaker-elect Kevin McCarthy carved out a path to placate a faction of rebels and secure the job, with promises that could come back to haunt him.

McCarthy flipped 14 of his holdouts and convinced the rest to stand down, and was elected as the 53rd speaker of the House on the 15th ballot on Saturday after overcoming a last-minute wrench that scuttled his best-laid plans on the previous ballot. In doing so, he made a series of concessions that weaken the power of his office and expand the clout of far-right members of the House Republican conference, which critics say could complicate his job of governing under the wafer-thin majority.

McCarthy and his allies sensed they were on the verge of a breakthrough on Thursday night after Rep. French Hill, R-Ark., and others tapped by the now-speaker-elect met with a group of right-wing holdouts — including Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Chip Roy of Texas and Byron Donalds of Florida. The mutiny was led by members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, which is known for wielding raw power and a high tolerance for chaos to force House GOP leaders to bend to their wishes.

McCarthy’s team presented them with a “framework” of House rules changes and other promises that would appease the group — and ultimately prompt six others to vote “present,” a crucial move that lowered the threshold and paved the way for him to succeed.
