Six votes I think? This past week there probably weren't six GOP reps who were ready to retire at the end of their term and throw their support to Jeffries. In a few months I think that might change. | [

When they get to the partisan show trials, the nazification of fashion, the banning of electric vehicles etc etc.. and then eventually some budgetary stuff all the banjo strings are gonna loosen in strange ways and the hatchets will really fly.
I don’t think the dems will end up with a speaker or something.. But with the margins this close and rules set back to one member able to call a no-confidence vote, every member has a proceedural veto at this point. It’s not a new power either - it is just a new era of radicals seeking to disrupt every aspect of civil order. And this is the whole point: the disruption will continue because the radicals and activists harvest millions of dollars in invisible donated cash every time they throw a baby tantrum.
The money is impossible to comprehend for the average citizen. Almost everyone here for example, reacts with partisan or political filters to this madness. But the people dissolving your freedom do not give a rat’s ass about any of their proclaimed political views and values. They are only interested in the money.
Calling for a no confidence vote will generate tens of millios in new campaign donations. Without exageration or embellishment. It isn’t that some of them might use it, it is that all of them are willing to do so just to keep their dipshit donors reaching for their credit cards.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is not a different speaker by the end of this congress but I don’t expect that to be the outcome. I do expect a lot of poor rural, and oligarch level rich donors to once again pay, and pray for America to fall apart. | [

">\n\nIf McCarthy was actually smart, he’d have created a coalition government rather than Paul Ryan-ing himself by selling his soul to a handful of nihilistic extremists. \nFurther, if he had an ounce of testicular fortitude, now that he’s speaker, he would immediately say, “F- you to all 20 of my haters, the rules are not changing”\nTo bad (for Kevin) that McCarthy is a spineless toad with potato salad for brains.",
">\n\nRepublicans have spent decades convincing their base that compromise is weakness. We saw a ton of Republicans get primaried and replaced since 2010 because they were willing to compromise and work with Dems on common sense things like funding the Government and helping senior citizens. McCarthy is stuck in a situation where unless he gets the HFC on board, he cannot reach across the aisle for help, because the Republican base will eat him alive.",
">\n\nMcCarthy literally sold his soul for the speakership and gave dems the majority. All they have to do is show how dysfunctional the republicans are.",
">\n\n\nMcCarthy literally sold his soul for the speakership\n\nYes.\n\nand gave dems the majority. \n\nNo.\nNothing that was done here increases the power of the Democratic party.",
">\n\nIn the next HOR elections the only political ads they need to show is this the dysfunction. Swing districts in NY and Cali will flip blue.",
">\n\nAhh... if you mean handing the next Congress to the Democratic party, I can see why some would believe that.\nUnfortunately, I am not convinced the US electorate will be so motivated by this. There has been robust evidence before this that nobody desiring functional governance should every vote for Republican representatives.\nBut we can keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.",
">\n\nThey can barely agree on McCarthy. If they dump him they’ll never agree on another.",
">\n\nThe guy is one vote from losing the gavel and 8 votes from losing it to a Democrat. \nThis is going to happen more than once.",
">\n\nSix votes I think? This past week there probably weren't six GOP reps who were ready to retire at the end of their term and throw their support to Jeffries. In a few months I think that might change.",
">\n\nWhen they get to the partisan show trials, the nazification of fashion, the banning of electric vehicles etc etc.. and then eventually some budgetary stuff all the banjo strings are gonna loosen in strange ways and the hatchets will really fly.\nI don’t think the dems will end up with a speaker or something.. But with the margins this close and rules set back to one member able to call a no-confidence vote, every member has a proceedural veto at this point. It’s not a new power either - it is just a new era of radicals seeking to disrupt every aspect of civil order. And this is the whole point: the disruption will continue because the radicals and activists harvest millions of dollars in invisible donated cash every time they throw a baby tantrum.\nThe money is impossible to comprehend for the average citizen. Almost everyone here for example, reacts with partisan or political filters to this madness. But the people dissolving your freedom do not give a rat’s ass about any of their proclaimed political views and values. They are only interested in the money.\nCalling for a no confidence vote will generate tens of millios in new campaign donations. Without exageration or embellishment. It isn’t that some of them might use it, it is that all of them are willing to do so just to keep their dipshit donors reaching for their credit cards.\nI wouldn’t be surprised if there is not a different speaker by the end of this congress but I don’t expect that to be the outcome. I do expect a lot of poor rural, and oligarch level rich donors to once again pay, and pray for America to fall apart.",
">\n\nWhen the GOP doesn’t rule something out, it’s guaranteed to happen.",
">\n\nWill he last longer than a wilting head of lettuce?",
">\n\nI would be shocked if we make it through January without a vote on McCarthy to vacate",
">\n\nIs there any doubt? Whether it’s successful or not, the one member threshold - if he keeps that promise - makes motions to vacate inevitable. The only question is how many mooches until the first one. I’ve already got a head of lettuce sitting in my fridge to see which lasts longer.",
">\n\nSINO: Speaker in name only",
">\n\nI hope the Dems hold the \"1 vote to vacate\" over him at every opportunity.",
">\n\nThey can’t, that rule only applies to members of the majority",
">\n\nI hadn't read that anywhere. I'm surprised rules for the House can only be applied to one side.",
">\n\nThe rules are whatever they make them to be.",
">\n\nSo how long are we betting McCarthy lasts as speaker before his first challenge? 5 seconds? Maybe 10?",
">\n\nAgreeing to allowing 1 person to impeach you is just mind blowing",
">\n\nDemocracy at its finest lol",
">\n\nI give him until June.",
">\n\nThe gun on the table.",
">\n\nExcellent idea. Why not get that underway immediately.",
">\n\nOf course not, Leopards Eating Faces Party has to keep all face options on the table.",
">\n\nWell no shit sherlock, did anyone think they lowered the no confidence threshold to 1 vote because they liked him and wanted to keep him around?",
">\n\nThey want to make sure McCarthy knows who his leash is tethered to.\nGood boy. Now beg.",
">\n\nlol would the Dems back the motion?",
">\n\nIt’s sad to me that nothing too will come from this congress. Just going to drive putt country more into the dirt. These politicians are pushing games while citizens suffer",
">\n\nPetty tyrant makes noise to be relevant. News at 11.",
">\n\nWhat an awful headline. Of course they're not ruling out using the leverage they fought for",
">\n\nFrom the article:\n“ As he worked to flip holdouts within his party and secure the votes he needed to take the Speakership, McCarthy agreed to lower the threshold for forcing a vote to oust the House Speaker to just one lawmaker.”",
">\n\nCan someone explain to me why the hard right doesn’t McCarthy as speaker? I mean after mccarthy’s continuous ass licking of Trump what more could they want? Sorry if i am not informed.",
">\n\nMcCarthy…govern!?!? I won’t hold my breath.",
">\n\nC’mon, that is NOT news to anyone with a heartbeat.",
">\n\nI wouldn't even want the speakership role of it took me 14 fucking tries...."
