McCarthy bargaining

Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina told reporters there is a framework on paper, but that “this is Round 1” and there was still “a ways to go.” He said the framework included House rules changes that conservatives had been asking for, including a 72-hour period to read bills before voting.

At least 48, FFS. Why isn't this already a rule?  Round 1?  They've already had 11 votes, and we were told they were negotiating the whole time.  These people are faithless and incapable of governing.

Other holdouts were more cagey. Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland said he didn’t know about any deal, while Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee wouldn’t answer when asked if there was an agreement on paper.

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, told reporters he thinks they are close to a deal — "you can just sense it."

Yeah, Gym Jordan, well known for "sensing" things.

We'll see how "close" they are around noon today when they start up with the twelfth vote.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
