From Mastodon (and 1856-the last time it took this long to get a SOH)





Some context: the Republicans, after 3 votes, could not solidify support for anyone for #SpeakerOfTheHouse today. No legislative business can be done until this happens. The last time 3+ votes had to happen was just before the Civil War! 
This is how fractured the party is. It's foreshadowing how the next 2 years will be with them in charge of the House. There is very little MSM talking about this fracturing & how momentous it is. #catawompouslyChawed​
