Just say: we’re the serious group ready to do the work for America. Sort yourselves out, asap. Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake, and all that It would be much funnier watching him have to vacate those offices… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctm Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 McCarthy wants to adjorn today's session to buy more time. He's showing weakness and the motion, if raised, is likely to fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, they are embarrassment proof, so it hardly matters… IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another vote and nothing changes. Just a matter of time before McCarthy votes start to peel off. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a matter of time before McCarthy votes start to peel off. A Scalise white knight scenario has probably already gotten traction, but McCarthy is not going to cede when he is this close. Also, his currently negotiated position is likely disagreeable to any new potential speaker, so that would have to be sorted out, too. Happiest guy for the moment is Santos, with the spotlight affixed to this leadership clusterfuck. The guy’s congressional page even said he’s been sworn in, but that’s not possible until a speaker of the House can swear him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Some momentum building in certain circles for Fred Upton to eventually be nominated as a compromise candidate. Reportedly, Bacon says he will run a moderate challenger against Scalise if it comes to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a two faced backstabbing piece of shit who no one takes at his word. Omar, headhunter, and reo 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Seriously though, McCarthy is probably the weakest most feckless Majority Leader of my lifetime in either party. headhunter, reo, and OILERMAN 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 2 transactional Ls for Trump as well, who messaged this morning for the gop to rally around McCarthy.

Popular Post oldschool Posted January 4, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 my favorite part of this story so far is that McCarthy already moved his stuff into the Speaker's office. I know its juvenile but I want to see the look on his face when he has to move it back out. ChemEngr79, tgo, titanruss, and 4 others 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
