The Speaker of the House of Represenatives, whose job is to lead the House, worked with the House to prevent a government shutdown, ... and that creates a threat that he will be removed from the Speakership??
What the actual fuck.
Trumpies are opposed to the US having a government, as it inconveniences Putin.
Too true, sadly. Much as I loathe Reagan, at least he was opposed to Russia. Can't say that about the current "Party of Reagan".
He was in large part opposed to the USSR for the wrong reasons though. Also, the USSR and today's Russia have very little in common.
Reagan would undoubtedly have been pro-Putin if Putin governed any other country than Russia in the exact same way.
Exactly. Reagan was not an enemy to oligarchy and Russia is the world's biggest oligarchy.
But they got what Putin wanted in this case.
Partisanship and brinksmanship. The days of concession, negotiation, and the needs of the money, are gone. “A house divided…” as they say.
the needs of the money
An apt typo.
Welp. Guess I’ll leave that as it is.
In all fairness, McCarthy is the one who changed the rules from requiring a motion to vacate from "on behalf of a political party or caucus" to "any member of the House".
There was an entire reason there was a stopgap in place. McCarthy's thirst for power brought him to this. So at the end of the day, "a bed was made by someone, and now a few folks are asking that person to head on to bed."
Also, all this does is really reinforce the GOP mantra of "no honor among thieves."
Because dumbass allowed it to be codified in the the session’s rules that he could face a vote of no confidence or whatever it’s called from one person.
Basically, McCarthy is a chancellor Vellorum- except he was never as well-meaning
Oh, McCarthy is awful, sure, and that agreement definitely creates the mechanism. But the fact that the button that launches the process is going to get pushed because the Speaker did his job instead of refusing to is mind-boggling.
well, we all knew it would come to this. We all knew it would happen, because they're a bunch of toddlers who have zero conception of just how awful they are; or the lives they're destorying with their sheer idiocy.
Which, the mind boggling part is... why would you give them that power? Like. they're too stupid not to use it.
It's the old chicken and egg thing, but with dumbness.
This is why we won't ever get anything accomplished in government. Gone are the days of true compromise and doing what's best for the country. Now, it's just political theater and gaslighting
They were put in place by dark money to dismantle the government, but Kevin didn’t get the memo.
Let's just stop and take in that headline.
