Tiberius Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Inquiring minds want to know If the GOP holds on and wins by a couple of seats his path to speakership looks dark and fraught with peril. Those crazies in his party will demand impeachments and all that, Trump is already demanding his support in 2024 and then the rest of that caucus will surely object to his going to far over to the hard core Freedom Causcus side. What a mess! Edited November 15, 2022 by Tiberius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiGoose Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I have a real hard time seeing McCarthy being able to whip 218 votes if he only has a couple of seats for a margin. Scalise is already gunning for him and others will likely sense weakness. As much as the Dems losing the House will suck, the silver lining will be the chaos of the GOP tearing itself apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the GOP tearing itself apart results in new House leadership, someone like Marco Rubio leading the R Senate and a Presidential nominee in Ron DeSantis, it will all have been worth it for any Republican that wants to own 2024.

He’s probably the most brilliant tactical and strategic mind in the Senate since LBJ. Who is going to take him down? Little Marco? That guy from Florida whose plan for the midterm was to tell everyone he wanted to raise their taxes? I think the most likely outcome for him is that he decides when to hang it up and transitions the leadership to Thune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is too toxic for the brand, even for moderates. I’m not sure what the Dem strategy will be. Likely, they will be focused on their internal leadership which is grossly overdue for change. However unlikely it would be, them nominating Cheney or Kinzinger would be a lot of fun, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Governor Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I sat in a room with a bunch of political consultants in 2003 and we all agreed he would never be leader. I’ll stick with it. People in his own party have often called him stupid and unable to do the actual job. His own people said that 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Kevin McCarthy Promises To Remove Three Prominent Democrats From Their Committees Sarah Arnold House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy is warning three prominent Democrats that their jobs are on the line should he become speaker of the House. Saying that his speakership will become politically volatile, McCarthy is going to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif), and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) off of their congressional committees once Republicans take back the House. In January, McCarthy vowed to remove Swalwell and Schiff from the House Intelligence Committee and Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. And he is poised to keep his promise. McCarthy said that Schiff’s promotion of the Steele dossier and Omar’s antisemitic comments have put them on the chopping block. “You have Adam Schiff, who lied to the American public time and again – we will not allow him to be on the Intel Committee either,” McCarthy said, adding “look at Congresswoman Omar, her antisemitic comments that have gone forward. We're not going to allow her to be on Foreign Affairs.” And for Swalwell, the Republican said that his association with a Chinese spy is what dealt him a blow. “One thing I said from the very beginning, Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the public sector," he said. "Why would we ever give him a security clearance and the secrets to America? So I will not allow him to be on Intel.” https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2022/11/20/kevin-mccarthy-promises-to-remove-three-prominent-democrats-n2616174 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 Kevin McCarthy’s imperiled speakership bid is threatening to incapacitate Republicans during a crucial planning period, virtually guaranteeing a sluggish start for the new House majority.

So from the very top seat in the gov't to the bottom incompetence rules the only thing that makes me feel a little bit good about this is that while this goes on the ignorant that run your country can't come up with any more stupid bills to pass . But it does give them more time to sit around and brain storm for their next round of stupidity that should help us as a country moving forward ... Let's just fire all of their asses & start all over again from Biden down to all the bribers I'm sorry i mean "lobbyist" what was i thinking ?
