so if this shit goes the distance those new reps don't get paid right?
I believe someone said the rep staffers do not get paid after ten days.
House committee staffers face no pay if speaker isn't decided by Jan. 13, officials warn

1610697586545164289Iirc, plum committee chairs were demanded before there was any vote. Wouldn't be surprised at all if McCarthy caves to cling to power, we already knew about his flexibility in this regard.
Fascists getting stronger was always the probable result, it's just a matter of degree at this point.

"Overcame adversity"
I imagine the narrative would be subtly different if the Dems nominated someone with this sort of background as Speaker.
In 1997, Donalds was arrested for marijuana (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana) distribution; the charges were dropped as part of a pre-trial diversion program (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversion_program). In 2000, he pleaded guilty to a felony bribery charge as part of a scheme to defraud a bankhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Donalds

They need to keep up this shtick where they keep voting for random Kevins
in the next round Gaetz should vote for Kevin Costner and Boebert should vote for Kevin Bacon
They’re actually going for a 9th vote. :lol
At this point I think the strategy is to tire out the members until they cave. Otherwise this will always end up the same way.

the last people that are going to tire out are the 20 anti-mccarthy republicans. those people literally have nothing better to do with their time.
its probably some among the 200 other republicans who will grow weary of this. dems have every reason to wait it out because theres the potential they can extract concessions out of this in exchange for enough abstentions

If he didn't have to do any actual work, I could see Trump's getting elected Speaker.
And he'd be 2 sniper rounds from being POTUS again, and since we're already into 2023 he'd be eligible for an additional full term as well because of the 10 year rule in the 22nd Amendment, plus he'd be the incumbent. SO be very afraid of that scenario.

I'm not saying that I would do that, I'm saying that it's a possibility and there's a lot of qtards and ultra right wing freedom fighter types that might. But you have to have gone to sniper school because actually using and being accurate with a sniper rifle is VERY difficult and not easy as the video games would make them out to be.
Getting both Harris and Biden with a standard rifle, shotgun or handgun would be borderline impossible because of the premium high tech security and secret service surrounding the POTUS and VP. It would need to be a very long distance sniper.
I'm not afraid of that at all. I hope you do it.

Passage from John Boehner's memoir comes back to haunt Kevin McCarthy
from Boehner's memoir, which was published in 2021, where he shed some light on what animates the hardline caucus of the contemporary Republican Party (http://rawstory.com/david-jolly-msnbc/).
"What they're really interested in is chaos," wrote Boehner.
"They want to throw sand in the gears of the hated federal government until it fails
and they've finally proved that it's beyond saving."

It would be so easy for that group to put all the blame on McCarthy, but they don't seem smart enough to. McCarthy is willing to commit to a completely non-functional House that'll very likely cost the GOP up and down the ticket in 2024 just so long as he gets power. That's the epitome of "the swamp". If I were a Republican, McCarthy would've lost my vote. Any Biden-district GOP House member should not be okay with a House with these concessions built in. It's going to make it really hard for them to win reelection if they don't have any policy wins to show their constituents, and investigating Hunter Biden isn't going to be that.
I would still love to see the term limit bill go to a vote and used by challengers those who vote it down. In general, "cleaning the swamp" has been and will continue to be a sentiment with wide appeal. But because they can't just focus on that without saying stupid shit or nominating Trump, they have allow dumbasses like Kaisch to try to take the moral high ground and push "Forward Party" ideology that nobody wants.

Yup. Aside from the abortion crap, today's non-neocon GOP policy is majority opinion policy in the USA, from draining the swamp with term limits (maybe 12 years maximum for anyone in Congress -- 2 senate terms and 6 house terms, but no more of each for any individual)... energy independence, border security, net zero immigration, cutting government spending... too bad they are terrible at winning elections and actual procedural tasks at governing.
Funny thing is is that the Bush era GOP policy was and still is minority opinion policy across the USA (more wars, more big oil pandering, spend our way out of debt, increase deep state power, let's hand out green cards to boost big tech etc) and yet Bush's GOP kept winning elections until the chickens finally came home to roost in the great big blue tsunamis of 2006 and 2008.

Now for a second - just imagine the DEMS and their president had attempted a coup - does anyone believe - FOR ONE SECOND -
that the GOP would not be gaslighting/pearl clutching/finger pointing/ and going ham on the coup plotters had this happened in reverse?
Disgusting.
That's for later, you do that you unite them against a common enemy instead of arguing amongst themselves, which is what they want. They need a boogeyman to fight because they have no platform
Other than the Gaets brigade, McCarthy has seem to flipped everyone else.

ROFL the GOP's only policy is tax cuts for the rich and for corporations to blow on stock buybacks.
You're thinking of the GOP circa 2007ish. The old swampy GOP that the new right has been trying to get rid of.

Yep.
Looks like the Dems' fun in the sun is over. PredictIt now up to 73% chance for speakership for McCarthy (was in the mid-30s yesterday):

Matt Gaetz acknowleges McCarthy is a great fund raiser but that should not earn him speaker of the house.
Then...

Promptly asks constituents for money because he WILL earn it. By getting rid of McCarthy.
So its not about money for Gaetz but he needs money.
Why does hypocrisy "sneak" BLATANTLY by conservatives so often?

You are totally insane. You seriously think Trump tried to get rid of a swamp by hiring family and friends to get paid high priced government jobs?
Where the fk have you been? Do you know what a swamp is supposed to mean in DC politics?

No not really...
corruption
And that basically is accomplished by your first two. Big government is very prevalent in Northern Europe. But the corruption part is watched very closely. Because they have a strong press which gets involved in rooting out corruption. You had zero mention of the importance of a truthful press to dig.

I'm not a Trump apologist.
Trump really jumped the shark big time in 2020 but he honestly jumped the shark for me in 2017 when he uttered the same neocon anti-Assad propaganda regarding Syria that's similar to the current disinformation about Ukraine.
I will say though that Trump was dealt a difficult hand, from the lies about 2016 election fraud (the OG Big Lie fwiw) to the Mueller stuff and impeachment hoax to being a one term president and having to fit all of that into 4 short years, shortened even further by the covid crisis. He couldn't get much done during his 2 years of trifecta because of the investigations clouding his presidency, and that was largely the fault of the Dems and liberal government-funded private-sector attacks and social media attacks on Trump that prevailed through his presidency.

Either you are one gullible disinformed and misinformed victim of your own idiocy...
or
a liar who just willingly spewed those lies ^ above.
Why is truth not important to repukes like you - I will never know.
Trump was assisted by russia in the 2016 elections. Trump willingly accepted an enemy country's assistance even though that enemy was attacking a usa citizen - so trump chose russia to receive help
over defending our election/another us citizen/democracy
Mueller laid out the facts of all the instances of cooperation and conspiring with russia and pussied out in concluding that ALL fuckery from trump and russia - equaled a conspiracy -
(does NOT mean they didnt collude/conspire - it just means he didnt have all the evidence put together - due to obstruction/lying/ by trump team - but this was the opposite of a "hoax" as you lied about)
on top of those lies -
you make trump out to be a "victim" of covid -
when trump was the biggest reason why over a million americans needlessly died to his his lies/inaction/downplaying of something he bungled and maliciously handled
what a dishonest person you are

I don't know what voting for Jim Jordan accomplishes.
I sure hope he's the frontrunner for the 2024 senate seat though. Straight blue ticket voter Brown needs to GTFO that red state and Vance and Jordan would make a fine based duo there.
That dem voted coming straight from having surgery. Lol
Hakeem now back to his usual 212.
Looks like a lot of smoked filled back room deals going on right now.

Trone from West Maryland, who narrowly won re-election and will likely lose in 2024
When's the special election to replace the black guy who died of colon cancer in the Richmond Virginia seat?

why is every deal in congress a "smoke filled back room" deal
Would be hysterical if Kevin flipped a few more votes from the "Never Kevin" crowd only to lose votes he already had but looks like Kev is going to get it done and become Speaker.

First democrat to call out the traitors- from the coup attempt- who are about to take power without being held accountable
what a shitstain on our democracy
stupid retarded voters

Republicans still on disarray. Boebert and Gaets voted present and McCarthy falls short.
Fight almost breaks out lol. Republicans can’t govern and are full of thugs to boot.
McCarthy defies the odds and……….FAILS AGAIN.
15th ballot needed.

Id kinda like them to just try to kill something. Show us Jan 6 again and slaughter a goat in front of McCarthy and Gaetz.
"My Kevin" practically sold the shoes off his feet to get it but looks like he finally got it. I knew most of those who were "never Kevin" could be flipped at a cost.
