Absolutely. Fucking. Disgusting.

(link to Business Insider's article confirming this)
From that article, Thomas Massive (R-Kentucky)'s comment on his no vote:
"Antisemitism is deplorable, but expanding it to include criticism of Israel is not helpful," Massie wrote on X.
I hope everyone of those islamophobic, arabphobic, Palestinianphobic, antisemitic 412 members of house lose their elections to people who actually give a damn about Palestine.
ALL of them put their seats in jeopardy with this shit.
Anti-zionism isn't antisemitic, Palestinians are native to the region AND EXIST and NONE of them are listening to anyone about that. Fuck all of them.

On the one hand, not having a Speaker of the House is indicative of very serious issues in the American populace. It shows a divisive political dialogue and a country in crisis. The last two times this happened both preceded horrible periods of disruption in our country by about 10 years, the Great Depression and the Civil War. So it's not a great look and does make one nervous about what is coming down the pipe
On the other hand it is genuinely so fucking funny

So just today there were two different physical altercations in the US congress (both by Republicans because of course)
You doing okay, America? (rhetorical)

"I can do this all day," a bruised and bloodied Kevin McCarthy says as he struggles to his feet, before punching himself in the face again, breaking his nose.

My take on this whole House of Representatives debacle:
[image description: That scene from Megamind where Hal says "There is no Easter Bunny, there is Tooth Fairy, and there is no Queen of England" except instead of "Queen of England" it says "Speaker of the House"]
