I can't see any viable replacement that isn't going to be more pragmatic and reasonable with dems than McCarthy has been.
The Gaetz group won't support anyone who's less of a douchebag than McCarthy, because they thought he wasn't even enough of one. But the establishment isn't going along with Gaetz or one of those dickheads, just look at what they've been saying about them publicly.
This means there can be no feasible replacement without dem votes, which gives the dems power here. I think Gaetz shot himself in the ass here when he got rid of McCarthy. He was already groveling all over them and gave them disproportionate power but that could end now.
I agree with you on thisI don't have any clue how Republicans are going to claw their way out of this hole they've found themselves in. Calling it a shit-show is being kind.
Trying to use EO to appropriate money would be very unconstitutional. Any reading of the Constitution notes that appropriating money is explicitly a power of Congress.
No doubt a shutdown would be painful for people, but that's also the result of electing shitbags that think they should govern with a philosophy of "owning the libs". Republicans made their bed in the pigpen, now they can wallow in their shit.
It was bad enough when people suggested there were Republicans that are trustworthy, but Republicans with a conscience? It's practically mutually exclusive at this point.It is far more likely that the last ~10 republicans that actually have a conscience will instead cave in to the crazies, and vote in an ultra-MAGA speaker to end the stalemate, rather than even try to vote with any Democrats for what passes as a moderate ("moderate" republican = extreme far right, but still sane).
There are at least 5-10 Republicans that would have voted against going forward with impeachment hearings against Biden (which is why McCarthy went forward on the authority of the Chair to start impeachment hearings - without any vote taking place to proceed).It was bad enough when people suggested there were Republicans that are trustworthy, but Republicans with a conscience?

I am really trying not to insult you.. but you are making it hard.. We are not good, because the Democrats didn't assist in anything. Let me ask you a couple questions: Did the democrats help get McCarthy into the Speakership? Answer: No, not a single Democrat voted for him to get him the Speakership. Now he has been voted out, right? Did a single Democrat's vote change this time, from when McCarthy won the Speakership? Answer: No. NOTHING CHANGED ON THE DEMOCRATS VOTE THEN OR NOW! So, if they didn't help get him in there, or using your fucked up version of "assist", they didn't "assist" in getting him the speaker ship from the start, and they voted Identically this time, with NO votes changed.. how the fuck can you claim they assisted in getting him removed?Alright. From what I can tell, there's two things I've said that are flying like a lead balloon for you. 1) Assist, 2) Democrat.
I said assist, because, the very first sequence of actions begun with the Republicans and the Democrats were involved to a lesser degree, therefore, assisted. They're not to get all of the fame and glory but they were present and involved. I have straight up said from the beginning that Republicans started this shit -- but people go out of their way to get hung up on the finer details. lol. Because, I guess, knowing this place, they're big fans of the Democrats. There's like, 20+ (30+ ?) Democrats for every 1 Republican here. I'm not surprised. This place is far removed from an accurate representation of the USA. People in other countries probably think it's total anarchy here 24/7/365 if this is their primary source of political information and discussion of the USA. We're basically an old school version of r/politics on Reddit, crazies and all.
I see what you're saying in regard to the football analogy. Fine, we'll do it your way if that suits you better as it's interchangeable. The Republicans assisted the Democrats. Now you're good, or I hope. Hopefully everybody is finally good now if that's actually what the big deal was. I don't care about Democrats or Republicans, I care about what can be done for me. If the market crashes I can invest more for cheaper and all of you can, too. Unless you're retiring in the next 5 years you all stand to win. If someone is adversely affected to a seriously detrimental degree, well, should have attached a frying pan to their ass a little tighter. Watch out for your friends and family.
Bro, I don't know why you care so much about what I think. It doesn't matter what I think at the end of the day on this. I don't control the ebb and flow of anything on the world stage. No, the Democrats didn't help get McCarthy into the speakership. They didn't vote for him to get in there. I agree with that. They did vote to get his ass out of there. A lot of them. All of them. 8 Republicans voted with them. ... there's a record for all of this, don't take my word for it. Would you like to insult me? I'm not stopping you. It's in vogue, you could be trendy! Do try to make sure it's something I haven't heard, I value originality however I wouldn't be the one going for a dopamine hit so do what works for you. OK, OK. You are right about everything you said. Let it forever be enshrined. Now that should work for you. That's what you want to hear.I am really trying not to insult you.. but you are making it hard..

Democrats didn’t vote to get him in there but did vote to get him out of there despite voting identically against him both times.Bro, I don't know why you care so much about what I think.

So you are okay with appearing to be an idiot, where you repeatedly argue that idiocy? You even admit it was 8 Republican's who went from supporting him to being against him. yet somehow you still blame the Democrats, who has been against him, since day one, and that has never changed. It amazes me that you can't wrap your head around the simple reality, that it was those 8 republican's that are 100% to blame, as they are the only ones who changed their position, not the democrats.Bro, I don't know why you care so much about what I think.

Sure am. Do you pay my bills? Are you a client of mine? None of the above? Then why the hell would I care what people here think of me, I'm not conducting business with anyone here.So you are okay with appearing to be an idiot, where you repeatedly argue that idiocy?
Can Biden send Ukraine a $25 billion coin?This is a believable prediction.
I say fuck it let Rs bicker until the end of time, Biden can order the treasury coin.
Only real bummer is Ukraine however I am sure some of our NATO boys could carry the load and I imagine the current situation is “no new Aid” coin would fix the on going aid.
No way dems would agree to not run people in Biden districts, I don't care what the republicans are offering.Most or all of them would definitely face a primary challenge. The thing is if they actually made a deal with Democrats to get the House under control they could probably extract a promise from Democrats not to run someone against them and then run as an independent.
This is of course all predicated on the fact that enough Republicans want to do this, which I am skeptical of.
Kurt Volker was on CNN this afternoon. With talks of Jordan stopping aid and other Repugican talking points we can’t trust Ukraine with all this cash, he clarified, these aid packages are primarily for weapons. It’s not like Ukraine is given the cash to go buy weapons from the local dealer. Aid package is used by government that pays US military contractors which they ship to Ukraine. So wonder if the weapon manufacturers foresee the lack of upcoming fat cheques and offer several shipments for free to maintain a flow of product? Or maybe Biden can give EO to these government contractors to still send shipments with payments later.Can Biden send Ukraine a $25 billion coin?
SC district 1 has slowly been turning more democratic, even with gerrymandering. Mace is no fool, she's the type of R who would break from the party to save her seat@pcgeek11 Your rep is Nancy Mace right? If so how do you feel about her vote to oust McCarthy?
Honestly I was surprised by it.
sure gets around the power of the purse congress has.Can Biden send Ukraine a $25 billion coin?
Finally some truth leaks outI don't have any clue
What an interesting response. You admit you enjoy looking like and idiot, and consequentially, arguing that idiocy. Okay, good on you, for being mature enough to admit that. I mean that's very "adult" of you. But the sad part is, that is where your maturity, acting like an adult, ends. Pretty sad for a guy your age.Sure am. Do you pay my bills? Are you a client of mine? None of the above? Then why the hell would I care what people here think of me, I'm not conducting business with anyone here.
I come here for entertainment purposes to pass what little free time I do have between tasks. I would prefer that people could act like adults and not virtually flay one another whipping their e-peens around wildly like children, because there's no sense in it aside from putting their maturity level on display. This is ATPN, patients run the asylum. It's worn like a badge of honor. Even gets joked about.
I see what you're saying and getting at, but you don't see what I'm saying and getting at nor do a handful of other people. This isn't my problem, and I don't care.
You're right like I said. Have fun.
Signed,
