What if this happened?

Postby rusty » Tue Jan 03, 2023 5:10 pm

What if Kevin McCarthy kept losing the vote and they decided to make Madge Green the Speaker of the House?

They'd have to rename it the Freaker of the House.

OK, I'll bite. Who is Madge Green?

I feel like I'm parked diagonally in a parallel universe.

The Dems can't get their guy in but they could throw a massive monkey wrench in the Republicans' works by voting unanimously for McCarthy's rival. I don't understand why they don't do that.

They would wind up wih a much more conservative Speaker. The monkey wrench would boomerang back on the Democrats.

But he would be dependent on the Dems to keep him in his position.

Wow. Six votes - no election.

The Rs are really having a meltdown of unprecedented proportions.

What we are witnessing is something we rarely see from Republicans in Washington…backbone.

This is beautiful.

Donald Trump has urged Republicans to vote for Kevin McCarthy as House speaker as he hit out at the “unnecessary turmoil” within his own party.

In a Truth Social post on Wednesday morning, the former president endorsed the GOP House leader saying that he “will do a good job, and maybe even a GREAT JOB”.

“REPUBLICANS, DO NOT TURN A GREAT TRIUMPH INTO A GIANT & EMBARRASSING DEFEAT. IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE, YOU DESERVE IT. Kevin McCarthy will do a good job, and maybe even a GREAT JOB - JUST WATCH!” he wrote.
I don't think the end is near anymore. :D I think it's HERE! :o
