matt gaetz v mccarthy... is gaetz about to see the boot up his jaxi?

[RoryN]

bye bye mccarthy

By the way, I'd like to congratulate you:

Your thread was first
Your thread was then duplicated by a hypocrite who decries duplicate threads - forever tainting his future thread policing
His thread was then propped up by himself and the two most overtly-Deplorable members of the Lit Politics board.

Very revealing, and your efforts helped. Good job!

 

[Dribble]

so who the hell will they have as speaker now? a temp guy might be this patrick mchenry?

and will mccarthy keep on fighting for re-nomination and a gavel grab?


lol, mccarthy: first speaker of the house to ever be removed by his own party. the ignomy

If the Democrats were smart...they would work with the moderate Republicans and get Jeffries elected. But they won't. So it will be McCarthy

The Maggots may select Trump to be Speaker. Popcorn time again.

The GOP has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they cannot govern.

homeboy wanted that one to slam loud and botched it. No do-overs, dude!

Another First. So much winning

Hard to see how the HFC, acting as a de facto 3rd party, could form a coalition government with the rest of the GOP at this point. Can't see the GOP supporting even a moderate Democrat for speaker, but could maybe see them cutting a deal with Dems to elect a moderate Republican as speaker, but probably only if McCarthy bows out to allow it to happen.

Just as long as it isn't Jordan.

Boy, Kevin McCarthy Will Look Dumb If He Has to Move His Stuff Out of the Speaker's Office Again

so mcHenry is speaker pro-tempore

seems that, according to House rules, the elected speaker has to supply a list of names to act as pro-tempore 'in case', and mchenry's name was top of the list

he has the power to continue performing the speaker's role till a new one is chosen: is he limited to just presiding over the selection or can he move the House forward with anything else?

He has zero power other than opening...closing...and accepting Speaker nominees. The House is closed for all business other than election of a new Speaker. Nothing can proceed. That means...in 43 days...right before Xmas...the Govt closes and they default on all loans if this isn't solved.

The bipartisan Problem Solver Committee has officially broken up...all Republicans have withdrawn their participation.

This is up to Republicans to solve. They will either nominate and elect a Trumper...or someone Trumpers will back.

Pretty much. He can open and close sessions, but the only business he can preside over is selecting a new speaker.
Committees can still meet and do things, so they're not completely shut down, but they can't really accomplish anything.

This is amazing.

The "you won't have Kevin McCarthy to kick around anymore" press conference is happening right now.

Spinning himself as a hero, visionary, and martyr. Equating himself with every great leader, ever. LOL

"I look forward to your positive questions."

McCarthy says he won't run again. He just wants rhem to beg. Unless the Trumpers back down...which they won't...there isn't a Republican capable of winning a vote. I still think he will be the choice. We lose a week....cause they ain't gonna do nothing for a week...meaning we are now at 35 days and counting...total Govt failure and loan defaults

If Democrats were smart they would have crossed the line and voted to keep McCarthy.

 

[Fuzzy1975]

Why? WTF did McCarthy do for them? Open an impeachment inquiry on Biden? Yah that's going to go a long way towards bi-partisan cooperation.

You're a total fucking idiot if you think the Democrats need to help out the "majority". Let the majority show the American people they can govern. Right now all they are looking like is a bunch of fucking clowns in suits.

PS I just thought of this, but if Pelosi did, what the fuck would say about her helping him out. After all the vitriol that has been posted by you, against her over the years....and you'd have to eat all those posts, and say "thank you". That would almost be worth it...*chuckles*

I guess my idea is as idiotic as Jeffries working with moderate republicans to make Jeffries the speaker.
