Ball Security Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Dems need to play the snippet from Tom Cole’s nomination speech on a loop in each election cycle: “He has the courage to talk about a plan to get at the real drivers of debt. We all know it’s Social Security. We all know it’s Medicare. We all know it’s Medicaid.” 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 False. The reason different people voted against you is that the Dems could switch to "present" and reduce the threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just liked you lied and said that you would become Speaker on Tuesday. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balki1867 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Guys I'm starting to give up on Hakeem Jeffries-- I know he's the leading vote-getter but he keeps getting stopped at 212. That's 17 in a row. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise stay here and do your Fn job, it's almost Thanksgiving FFS, taken a retreat, recess, whatever you want to call it after the shutdown is averted, not before. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need 10 republicans to not show up or vote present to lower the threshold to 212 I believe I heard, amd could be wrong, that there is a difference between these two and the effect it brings. I'll try to find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the woman (towards the end of the alphabet) who voted for Massie, voted for Jordan today. I know the net is two lost votes, so at a minimum, three people who voted for him yesterday did not today. I despise Jordan. But I don’t think he’s an idiot. I can’t see how this charade benefits him or MAGA in general. Unless he wants the GOP to lose the House in 24 so he won’t have to follow through on the humiliating show hearings.

tshile Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I don’t know why democrats run away from the idea they removed McCarthy. They should embrace it: Yes, we did vote to remove him. after 1 of yours put him up for removal, because you changed to rules to get elected after 15 tries last time. and we did it because he’s a liar that didn’t uphold his agreements in negotiations. You’re the majority but you’re so dysfunctional you cannot elect a speaker. And if you don’t figure it out quick, we’ll have time to encourage a handful of your people to select our guy. this stance that they didn’t remove him when they all voted to remove him is dumb to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
