At this point, feels like the 
emoji should be replaced with a McCarthy version.

So house dems were faced with a choice between somebody they donât like and an unknown person who might well be super horrible, eh? Wonder what that feels like.

If there any Trump-level negotiators here, would it be better to make an offer here or force these guys to make their own offers, which you just refuse one after the other until they get in the ballpark? Or what?
If itâs anything like sports you ask for a bunch of policy concessions, both major and minor as well as some draft picks and swaps.

As I understand it, if the Speakership is vacant, the House canât move on to any other business. So, let Gaetz do his thing and let the government shut down until at least some Republicans are desperate enough to do a power sharing deal.

Newt Gingrich: Republicans must expel Matt Gaetz
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/10/03/newt-gingrich-matt-gaetz-remove/
Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), a liberal Democrat with whom I disagree on almost everything, perfectly captured Gaetzâs childish behavior in an interview with CNNâs Jake Tapper on Sunday. Gaetz âhas no swayâ or influence in Congress, Pelosi said, âexcept to get on TV and to raise money on the internet.â Pelosi told Tapper he was âwasting [his] time on that guy.â
Split the republican party NOW
So whatâs the status right now? Thereâs a motion to remove McCarthy, and theyâre voting to table/kill that motion?
Looks like thatâs about to fail (213-206 nay right now), but Iâm not sure what happens next. All Democrats + 10 Republicans against.
Before the House votes on the resolution to remove Mr. McCarthy, they will first consider a âmotion to table,â or kill it. That motion will be decided by simple majority â as will the actual resolution to remove him, if the House moves on to that step.
Also confused. Iâm watching but thereâs no commentary so 
So itâs officially dead, and now theyâre going to vote to remove him? Is there any reason to think the votes wouldnât be lined up exactly the same way as the table vote?
Democrats decidedly not in disarray.
