The establishment is systematically compromising members.
that was my impression
they are being told they can go quietly
or they can go loud and messy
but they are going
detest them...
Purposely Waits until 4/19, whew what back stabbing scumbag. The people who voted him in should doxx this prick and make his life miserable.
It’s remarkable how much grief I’ve gotten on FR for suggesting that I consider military veterans to be unfit for public office. Here’s one more example to support my case.
And a former military intelligence officer should have even less public respect than lawyers and child molesters.
It will be the current house as it will occur before the new Congress is seated.
IF the GOP guy was TRULY a GOP guy and not some spineless RINO I will bet it would be easy to get elected if the person was truly principled WE ARE a center RIGHT country Trump tells it like it is AND people respond to that, they would also respond to ANYONE ELSE who has a SHRED OF STINKING HONESTY!!! I don’t believe for a minute that with FAIR elections our side CAN’T win nation wide!!!
They all vote the same way anyway?
The new Congress is the one that will preside, not this one.
“And a former military intelligence officer should have even less public respect than lawyers and child molesters.”
BTTT
You are absolutely correct.
I believe it is the current Congress.
It will be the current house as it will occur before the new Congress is seated.
Not according to the Constitution.
Right.
Rush used to say the GOP acted like they were embarrassed and nervous about being in charge and were hoping to slip down into the old, comfortable role of taking potshots at the ruling dominant Dem Party.
He said Dems act like they are in charge even when out of office. Heads held high.
It is the new Congress that gets seated that presides over this, not the current one. So as far as the Presidential certification, this is irrelevant.
“I believe it is the current Congress.”
The Electoral College does not convene until Janurary, after the new Congress is seated.
I have to believe that the early retirements are coordinated. We just don’t know by whom and to what end. Or whether blackmail or bribes are involved — or are the early retirees willing conspirators?
We are now one more early resignation, or takedown by other means, away from making Hakeem Jeffries the Speaker.
The House GOP has been ineffectual legislatively because we do not have a working majority. At this point you could not get the caucus to agree to turn on the lights.
The ONLY useful function at this point is control of the committees, which means the power to investigate, to force testimony, to issue subpoenas, to surface information, and to influence the news cycle. These things are important. The early retirees are about to throw that away.
Which may be the whole purpose of this exercise. The moment Jeffries picks up the gavel, every investigation of anything related to Biden, the border, drug smuggling, name your issue will come to an end. And the Garland DOJ will execute Operation Whitewash without a trace of accountability.
The final question is how much the dems can ramrod legislatively on a party line vote, given their willingness to break every rule in the book. They might even abolish the filibuster as the first step in a legislative blitz.
You should be happy about this. One of the uniparty objectives of this is more money for Ukraine. And, you’ve been one of the biggest cheerleaders of that.
“I have to believe that the early retirements are coordinated. We just don’t know by whom and to what end. Or whether blackmail or bribes are involved — or are the early retirees willing conspirators?”

Rep. Mike Gallagher has announced he is resigning his Congressional seat effective April 19.
This is calculated. Gallagher could leave now, and allow his safe Republican seat to be filled quickly. Instead, he is deliberately leaving on a timeline that will leave it empty until November, leaving the GOP majority even smaller and making a Democrat House takeover a real possibility.
Gallagher is a traitor to his party and to the people who voted for him. What a spiteful, repulsive creature.
How can a new Congress address Electoral College or election issues related to themselves?
A new House convenes on 3 January of 2025. It will be whatever distribution of the new Congress that will vote on the presidency. The current House will have NO say.
