The Dive Social v. CHEERS! 🍻

whats the story with this Kevin McCarthy vote that he's lost 11 times in row?

cmon
 
i don't get it tho

if you lose, why do they keep voting on the same thing over and over again?

how come they don't just get to vote for somebody else?
 
They're only a few votes short, so it's worth trying to flip some votes instead of voting on someone else that would probably get even less votes
 
^ pretty much.

they're required to keep voting until the house has a speaker. further, the house can't do anything - agree rules, swear in newly-elected reps, let alone vote on a law - until the speaker is elected.

the election is basically being held ransom by a handful of republicans including boebert and gaetz. they'll be horse-trading behind the scenes but publicly many of them are making it clear they will not vote for mccarthy.

they can't even get this done and we're supposed to be comfortable with the idea of their running the country?

I'm good with the government getting nothing done. I prefer that for now, tbh
 
They don't care about the interests of their constituents after they're elected. They don't care about "making things better" for you and I. I thought you knew that
 
I've never kissed a guy with a beard....and don't really want to. Seems a little like going down on another girl, something I'll NEVER do again.
Not all girls have a 6 inch long afro-bush, just sayin.

As long as the mustache is trimmed, I don't see a problem although I've had trouble getting girls to make out with me since I grew the damn thing :cry:

Funny thing is votes are flipping in the other direction. At first it was like 19 repubs opposed to McC. Now it's up to 21 or something. Gotta love it :ROFLMAO:
