Disappointing. It only took 15 votes which is nowhere near enough to claim the record.

The only question now is how tightly the far right contingency is gripping McCarthy's balls.

Eventually on the 15th vote, I can't help but agree with the comment that this makes the extremists in the Republicans who supported the storming of the Capitol in charge.

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.
