Vacate Watch - Speaker Mike Johnson (R - LA)

[ll74]

Beneficial to the party? Getting in line with the leadership? Where did that get the moderate Republicans? Conservative and evangelical crazies took over and landed the nation in the present disaster. The conservatives were able to do that because the moderates and liberals in the GOP appeased them, just like congressional Democrats appease congressional Republicans. In politics, there are those who always chase "public opinion" and thus go wherever the wind blows in the name of their "career", and those that stand firm on their policies and seek to convince other people that these policies are correct. Only the latter will leave a good legacy.

Biden is also a disaster. Real left-wing people stand firmly against him, his reactionary policies and his big business party.

The Republicans have majority of the House. You can't blame Biden for it....sorry

If after all this drama, delay and idiocy McCarthy ends up back as speaker then the GOP is going to come off as the biggest group of morons. Putting the country at risk because of an internal temper tantrum just to end back at where they started would be a stunningly stupid move.

It's amusing to see interviewed Republican members of Congress try to blame anyone but themselves for this.

And that’s why it’s probably the thing that happens. These ‘pubs like making history even if it’s negative. They just see it as winning! (Same mentality as Charlie)

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Though it still holds true no matter who eventually becomes speaker.

This clown show was predicted and predictable.

Tonight's news was troubling [when isn't it?]

• UN leader was outshouted by Gaza protestors at a press conference to address aid to Palestinians - canceled and everyone back on the buses.
• Israel wants to search the trucks for guns/ammo, but there is no plan for that.
• Egypt allows protests - the first time in what 20 years that it has allowed that?
• Humanitarian food, fuel, medicine, and water sit - no one has a plan on how it gets distributed or where it goes. People might panic and attack the trucks to get those supplies, or Hamas might.
• Yemani terrorists launch numerous missiles and drones [over 20] thought to be headed to Israel - USA Navy destroyer put an end to them in flight. Go Navy!
• More troops are massing along all fronts facing Israel.
• US House of Representatives goes leaderless - another controversial want-a-be goes down in defeat. Another 'do-over' starts with no 'star' on the horizon.
  • A bit of irony - Republicans blame Democrats for this, although they have the majority. That's humorous right there. [Every (R) congressman/woman starts his/her statements with: 'It's the democrats fault we are in this Republican mess. They voted with eight crazies to get us into this situation.'
  • Notice no one reached over the aisle to ask for a bipartisan effort to set this right - not even McCarthy.
  • A Republican congressman's interview today was made in front of Will Roger's statue. He paraphrased Will Roger's famous quote on learning, pointing out the irony: There are three kinds of Republicans: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. And the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence to get their learning experience. [Hopefully, everyone gets this, so I don't have to come back and explain it.]
• Good news points: Two American POWs were released from Gaza by Hamas. Thank the Lord for that.

They accuse us of hating America almost every day, they routinely vilify the president and his family, they primary out any of their own members who don't hate Democrats quite as much as they do...and you think they would have been willing to reach across the aisle if our side had voted to save their speaker - whom most of them never really liked - from their own members? Dribble, exactly what rock have you been living under since at least the early '90s? Seriously, you'd have to go back to the pre-Gingrich era for your implied claim here to have even a little bit of plausibility.

And for the nine millionth time, the Dems did offer to help McCarthy. He wouldn't offer anything whatsoever in return. That's on him.


Tom Emmer reportedly wants to be the next one to be ritually humiliated. More power to him.

Funny, sounds like the same treatment Trump got for 4 years. I remember the most despicable insults thrown at Melanie Trump so get off your hypocritical soap box, democrats are the absolute worst. Democrats never reach across the aisle in good faith.

Who's Melanie Trump? And you don't see me or anyone else blaming the Republicans for failing to save Democrats from extremists in their ranks (not sure how you'd be able to tell anyway when you think they're all extremists, but I digress.).

Melania, I stand corrected, it did auto correct to Melanie 3 times, but you get the point. The lit left trashed her, treated her with such disrespect as a First Lady. I never saw that level of disrespect towards Obama. Other than a few jabs at Jill’s doctorate degree there were no vile characterizations. Democrats often take part in vile character assassinations. Look no further than the Kavanaugh senate confirmation hearings.

So, you are trying to pretend that the treatment Michelle Obama received was respectful...

And let us not forget the reality that Trump bashed Democrats multiple times a day as president. My president accused me of wanting to destroy my country multiple times every single day.

Fuck off.

Trumper hypocrite.

I never read anywhere where Michelle was called a slut, whore. She took a face full for her anti American comments but other than that she was idolized. She was on the cover of just about every magazine worth a shit. I don’t recall Melania being on one.

Party bashing is typical politics. Biden accuses MAGA as being an existential threat to America, so much for uniting the masses.

DJT referred to his wife as “Melanie“ at least once.

Still having trouble with things eh? Proof reading is the answer to “auto correct” issues.

But since you are always “right” it has to be the problem with the interface.



Melanie!

Guess you didn't hear Rush Limbaugh then....

Nah just Vogue, Vanity Fair,News week to name a few....

OH! I recall! Melania WAS on her share of magazine covers! Yuk, Yuk, Yuk, lol, lol!
Psssssssssst. She was doing something conservatives normally describe as, um, being a slut!

Also, I'm on a sex site and sex work is good and I have never made a joke discrediting Melania allowance over her body. I bring this up only to point out conservative short memory and hypocrisy which, I'm sure, many will call out as well after your dumbass post.

Why would you even care how Hollywood elitists viewed your prized First Lady? Why not just be happy in with her quiet accomplishments: Like being a great designer: did you see her Christmas tree or the work she did in the Rose Garden? Or how about her charitable work towards migrant children at the border? And how could you forgot that, unlike Michelle, Melania is an accomplished plagiarist?

Because maga isn't a political movement. It's a cult and you're a mark.

Melanie!

Typing on a 3x4 inch I-phone screen does lend itself to overlooking errors on occasion. Sharpshooters like you spend more time looking for typos or Grammatical errors, you would rather take a childish victory dance over honest mistakes than indulge in the spirit of a conversation.

I don’t ascribe to always being right, that would be you and your leftist lit posse. I’ve had the courage to admit mistakes can’t say the same for you.

I’m willing to bet that I criticized Trump more than you’ve criticized Biden.

Show us one post of you actually doing that! I can pull hundreds of you defending Trump....

I'll take you up on that: Is Joe Biden the duly elected president? Is trump correct in his claims that he actually was the winner of the 2020 election?

 

[Bn2f]

Did trump propagate a racist lie by saying Obama was not of American birth?
