Prolly downing a couple of shots off in some corner.
The “Gang of 20” will be frozen out of everything, and there will be no investigations of anything. Kevin from Heaven will state that under his gavel the GOP will “reach across the aisle” to forge a new era of cooperation with the Demoncrats. And alas, everything will stay the same. - My prediction.
Did they really decide to do this?
The, what, decade long?, or more? abandonment of the standard appropriations process has been, by far and away, the single most significant abdication/derogation on the part of the members of the federal House of Representatives with respect to their most role under the U.S. Constitution—controlling in the first instance the federal government’s purse strings.
” when the(y) pass house rules.”
We’ll see if that happens.
“I can’t wait until McCarthy stabs Trump in the back.”
Um... that ship sailed a long time ago.
That looks like a Norman Rockwell painting.
Mike Rogers (RINO-AL) was probably just P-O’d at Gaetz for having to work on four consecutive days ...
It wasn’t a sellout - it was inevitable if we weren’t going to hand the speakership over to the dems - hopefully the “concessions” will make a difference.
“else McCarthy’s word is destroyed to an unrecoverable state. And he wouldn’t survive such an evil double cross of his own party.”
So? Who has authority to see that KM doesn’t survive a double cross? Nobody. Once he has the gavel he’s not going anywhere. “How can you make a person leave if he doesn’t want to go.”
The concessions did NOT include investigations into the 2020 and 2022 Elections and reasons for certifying the uncertifiable results.
I’ve been saying the same. I have no faith in these slimeballs.
You obviously don’t know American history.
Reminds me of the days before the civil war. It looks like the deep state is getting exposed in all of this and they’re pulling out all the stops. It’s one of those scorched things. “Either we win or nobody wins.”
I believe we are watching history in the making. Stay tuned. This is going to get a lot more interesting in the next year, in my opinion.
What you say is true. The fact is happened is good in that a majority coalition minority faction was able to effectively provide effective input.
Kidnapping the House effectively provided a promised ransom that will provide some conservative political power previously totally lacking.
You seem to be more concerned with appearances than with a sorting out of the historical political reality.
Someone who is animated, yes. But I don’t see any physical threat to Gaetz than finger pointing.. The guy who put his hands on Rogers is more at fault.
Do you lunge at people in hot meetings?
Rogers is a RINO bully, who will be voting against America First proposals. I wonder how much money was thrown his way to vote for McCarthy? The entire Alabama delegation voted for McCarthy on EVERY VOTE. That tells you that the Republican Party are a bunch of whores, only up in DC to fill their coffers.
I’m guessing Gaetz got something Rogers wanted as a concession for switching his vote to “present.” Well, tough [bleep], Rogers. Lower Alabama is represented by an actual conservative, and now he’ll be in a prominent position.
I’m only seeing one guy who actually got assaulted. And “restraining” someone by covering their mouth is odd. Looks more like they were trying to silence him.
Lower Alabama here meaning the western Florida panhandle.
