Chanting “one more time!” like this is a championship football game. What the actual fuck.

Sirs this is not a frat party.

I’m here for it if they Gatorade dunk McCarthy at the end of this shit show so the international papers have the appropriate cover shot for their US news tomorrow.

[mrsslocombe]

My inner drama Queen just wants Gaetz to yell “psyche-I vote for MYSELF” and just watch them all crumple again.

[bronxgirl]

Here we go again. This is so painful.

This is how you know the actual GOP whips aren’t worth shit. Trump is literally whipping their votes for them from MAL (probably.)

That's my rep failing at whipping! So proud 🙄

I figure either McCarthy or Gaetz have a fairly decent chance of getting punched tonight.

This is 99% of why I’m still awake.

[suburbanzookeeper]

I don’t get how you psyche yourself up to cheer for someone who’s lost the majority vote who has 6+ weeks to secure this and think you’re the hero in this story.

[pixy0stix]

"4 of you to join us!" Lol! Wouldn't that be something, after all this time.

[suburbanzookeeper]

[curbsideprophet]

Biggs and boebert voted present

[mrsslocombe]

I mean, Gaetz is a piece of shit rapist lying liar who just spews nonstop bullshit 24/7…

But really?! He can’t hold true to this? God he really is the worst.

[seeyalater52]

Looks like McCarthy is going to win this round?

I’m afraid to know what he promised.

[okla]

Not gonna lie, I’m pretty proud of the Dems for keeping showing up. And all the meme-able photo ops, jokes, etc.

[mrsslocombe]

Assuming McCarthy actually wins…

Can we now place our bets on how long he lasts? I’m going with 230 days.

[smock]

Okay, who had round 15 in the betting pool? 🫠

[bronxgirl]

So fifteenth time’s the charm? It kills me how much McCarthy will still view this as a victory. You lost 14 times, Kevin!! I’m dreading where we go from here. I’m terrified to know what he’s given away to get this result.

And the incredible nomination speeches. Beautiful work. I don’t say that often but I’m proud too.

Kev running up to change his vote with his little red card has got to be the saddest, desperate shit a mediocre white man has ever done in front of the entire country/world. His life will be miserable, but we will all be held hostage.

I’m interested to see if it falls apart as soon as they try to vote on rules but no one ever called me an optimist.

[mrsslocombe]

Good and Trump is going to claim this as a victory, Poor Kevin was losing round after round until I stepped in and saved him.”

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Are we guessing in Scaramuccis?

[smock]

Gaetz votes present.

Per the people on MSNBC it sounds like they thought they had Boebert for the 14th vote and things went weird when she voted present instead of for McCarthy.

I gasped. I know they don’t need him now but it’s still sort of morbidly hilarious.

❤️. A Scaramucci is either 10 or 11 days, per Wikipedia, so if he finally gets it tonight I guess it would be approximately 0.5 Scaramuccis? ETA to get elected. Then the clock would start again for his tenure in Scaramuccis. 

[seeyalater52]

On the plus side, now we can at least sleep.

[Pom]

Funny. They act like this is a Pelosi win not a pathetic loser win.
