    If that happens—and it’s a fluid situation—there’s no telling what will happen next.

    That’s not strictly true. If there is no Speaker, then all the House can do is vote for one. So we know exactly what happens next. What we don’t know is who will end up with the job, or how long it will take to pick that person. It could be over on the first vote, or it could take days (even weeks).

        Shitty time for the federal employees who are relying on these idiots to get their shit together and fund the govt another year, for sure.

        If you’re in a position to not be directly affected by that, though, it’s time for popcorn 🍿
