It's like playing "spot the difference" with 6 different very long videos (two of which are actually completely identical).

Corporate needs you to spot the difference between these two pictures.
Fourth ballot
Fifth ballot
Person: it is the same picture.

This, except you need to waste over two hours watching the videos before realising you watched the same thing twice.

He's still a historic choice for speaker. Is Cori Bush jealous that she also doesn't have a band of 20 extremists to vote her for Speaker?

Boy, that sure flies in the face of the idea that the Squad will hijack and hold the Democratic Party hostage at inopportune times.

"THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY VOTED FOR MCCARTHY"

No, you won a very narrow majority.
No, Hakeem Jeffries is receiving the most votes currently.

The GOP is completely dysfunctional (and looney).

Probably.

Yeah I'm sure she's really jealous that there isn't a band of lunatics preventing her party's agenda.

Per C-SPAN: Republicans discuss motion to adjourn after the sixth ballot. Such a pathetic clowns.

They really ought to do it now. Nothing is changing! Why are they wasting everyone's time?

Either the Dems or the rebels need to agree to vote to adjourn. I am under the impression that team McCarthy did  not want any votes today, and wanted to adjourn right out of the box. But it takes two of the three to tango. When the Dems get tired, they will permit shutting the show down for the day.

Exactly. Progressives have much more reason to be wary of Jeffries than the far-right has to be weary of McCarthy.
