Apparently the calls where from Trump to Biggs and Gaetz of which the content can be assumed to let McCarthy be speaker


So a sad loser calling a vile little shit asking he let a spineless twat be Speaker.. MAGA

It's all over until one of the Never Kevins decides to force a vote to vacate.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I think a speech. They have to vote on a rules package, but that's apparently Monday according to the talkie mcface guy who just said that while I was typing.

I really wish I knew the context for the woman who just yelled, "There are no rules yet, baby."
