He'd want you to slap him too. Just now, Cooked Crack said: Imagine she was promised a lot for her support over the months, and he didn't deliver **** to her. Very upsetting.

If you operate on the understanding that last time they tried to pick a speaker it was a **** show… yeah that’s a reasonable thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I don't find this funny at all. I'm still not finding if they can vote on a CR without a Speaker. Dems probably jus walked into a trap without realizing it doing nothing because this might part of the far-right only agreeing to vote for a Speaker that will give them their 30% cuts that the previous one wouldn't. How do we get out of that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry.Randolphe Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 How is Steve Scalise going to get enough support while he's close to death with blood cancer? this is going to be an even more interesting next week as they try to beat McCarthy's vote record. Republicans just showing they're ****ing morons 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Personally, I would've saved him just so I could use it as leverage. When he is no longer useful, let him go. This way is definitely more interesting though, politics may rival football this week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made sense for Dems to have him out, and then they can negotiate with several people to see if they can get a deal that makes sense to support somebody. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we get out of that? Pure speculation on my part but I don’t think Dems would have let him get yanked if they didn’t think they could come out of this renomination process with a better option. And given how difficult it was for McCarthy to be approved, there’s a reasonable chance that a coalition centrist could use Dem support to win the speakership. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Y'all say this isn't funny but I find it to be hilarious. This is exactly what Americans deserve for continually supporting Republicans. Keep voting for the party that doesn't believe in government let alone a well functioning one. Both sides my ass. 🤣 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking they get someone better then McCarthy is underestimating what they are dealing with, and I hope isn't their plan. They started the voting out process because of him not supporting 30% across the board and multiple agency cuts to avoid a government shutdown. We are light-years away from these same folks supporting a centrist right-leaning speaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are light-years away from these same folks supporting a centrist right-leaning speaker. Fwiw i think its more apt to say a small fringe element of the House GOP started it. They got Dem support to oust him because McCarthy is still a maga asshole. He's just not full blown maga asshole like Gaetz. To think the Dems won't fully control who gets their support as House majority leader is silly. The House GOP is permanently fractured by these small band of morons who got rid of their leader. It's probably a good time for the actual adults to come forward in the House GOP and get a moderate elected.
