Vacate Watch - Speaker Mike Johnson (R - LA)

ineedhelp1 doesn’t even know that the nyPOSt is a fucking tabloid.

JFC

SAD!!!
 
Oh well, it appears chattycant’ty is done blabbering. I guess the board, dMallord and 1174 will have to settle for the all too familiar quiet trumper slinking of tail between legs exit from this thread in lieu of apology.
 
Go Fuck Yourself!!!
You lied! You’re a liar.
That’s now the topic at hand.
I’ve read and kept up with this thread and at no time have either of those members held a position to destroy our system.
Apologize now you POS!What do you think this means
What do you think all this means; Think about it. We did a lot of similar actions during covid.

Maybe resort to these desperate measures if the Capital was bombed.

Path One, the US Senate can call for an emergency joint session of both houses and, under those guidelines, evoke actions that would fund the government and hammer out the funding for the war efforts without having a Speaker of the House. It would eventually be subject to appeal to the Supreme Court, but with pressure from concerned citizens, it is 'doable.' There are a few past precedence situations, e.g., September 11, 2001, was such a case over the Twin Towers attack on our country. Congress jointly passed that funding, and it went into action immediately.

Path Two, under the Emergency Powers Act, the US President has the ability to protect America's best interests by Presidental declaration of funding the war efforts, declaring America is in danger. That, too, would be subject to review, eventually. But he could temporarily override Congressional inaction due to an extraordinary state of paralysis in Congress. The clear and present danger environment and the public's will would come into play. And those Supreme Court robed people.

As opposed to the NY Times lying about the hospital bombings causing the cancelation of critically important meetings with Jordan and other Arab countries with Biden, riots in the streets.

You POS!
Apologize!
I directly had conversation with dMallord on that subject matter. The adults in the room were positing solutions to the republican problem. Those were, in his opinion, possible actions to be taken in case American interests were at risk. At no point did he advocate for those to be employed.
Apologize! Now!

Was the Capital bombed that a presidential override was necessary. The house was in full session.
 
We have a speaker, move on! I predicted they would solve it on their own while you and DMallord were ready to tear down the whole system , intervene with the high court, the senate and side step the constitution.
The thread is about the Speaker election, dip shit.

Your party demonstrated that they aren't fit to govern and you're an idiot to completely ignore that. DMallord and other observers know that this will happen again because the Republican party will vacate the speakership again.

Your party wants to burn it all to the ground.

Yeah, so my belief is that come November 17th the government is going to shut down because that’s what trump wants from his republican sycophants. It will probably be no more than 7 days, but that will be enough to feed trump’s talking points against Biden. Republicans will then quietly come back with a resolution that is similar to McCarthy’s. It will include aid to Israel but not Ukraine. It will last until sometime in the middle of January and then House republicans will, believing trump will be too preoccupied with campaigning in Iowa to pay attention, pass a long term budget with Ukrainian aid.
And yes I pulled that all out my ass and I still believe it’s better than nothing which is the only thing we’ve heard from house republicans - nuthin.

Now that we have a speaker they can vote on rule changes if they deem it necessary. I doubt they will change rules because this hiccup could happen to the democrats and dems don't take well to losing power especially to a republican president. We'll see.

I wouldn't be surprised if the house passes a bill to fund Israel tomorrow. I predict the senate will knock it down because Ukraine funding will not be included in the bill.

At least the house version.

They aren't voting on rule changes...because the party is dysfunctional. And they will lose the house
 
Johnson to Jeffries - "we're going to find common ground for the American people"

Gaetz (probably) later today - "we need to get rid of Johnson"
I think house republicans are all done with Gaetz IMHO
 
It gave the party a chance to refocus, in my opinion it was needed. The pub house is more united now.
No, they will not be focused, nor more united. You cannot change a zebra's stripes overnight. Those are just not logical statements. That's my opinion with some well-founded basis on a lifetime of observation.

They merely seem united for now. They are the same individuals, mentalities, and mindsets that sat down with their families at dinner last night, slept, and returned to vote. A vote the American people tuned into to see if they would, again, attempt political suicide.

The one thing they saw in the mirror as they dressed this morning was that gallows noose with their names on it if they continued to do more of the same. In that sense, it was a wake-up call - they fell in lockstep to avoid another defeat at the ballot box in the coming election year – and picked Mike Johnson. They ran out of time, and talent, and needed a Trumpian selection, or the MAGA gang of eight would have torpedoed the ship once more.

And who is Mike Johnson, America is asking? Short answer: acknowledged as more civil than most extreme MAGA subscribers, a twelfth-year congressman, an advocate of MAGA+ ideologies, an advocate for throwing out ballots, disingenuous of honest elections, and Trump endorsed. Who believes he can reach across the aisle and get things done? Anyone?

America breathes more easily tonight, but in a few days, the honeymoon for Congressman Johnson will be tested again and again.
 
The best part is that your party's candidate is a convicted rapist and traitor.
Your party is a disaster and can't even fix your Speaker problem.

Where is your personal integrity, dumbass?
Just a minor legal point - he was convicted of sexual abuse and for defamation later. What he did was rape - somehow the law has some grey shades to how much the woman resisted. Otherwise, you got this right.
