I do have my faults. But we are dealing with politics here and since lying is baked into the DNA of most politicians I figured it was a safe assumption.
This would be a bad time. The House has 17 days (!) to come up with a budget or at least a continuing resolution. It cannot conduct business of any kind without a Speaker. Qevin had to undergo several days, 15 or so votes, and he was the only viable magapublican candidate.
This time, nobody would be acceptable, and no Republican would turn coat and vote for the sensible choice, Hakkim Jeffries. So the US federal government would be forced to shut down.
Yeah, the “Freedumb and Freedumber!” set would cheer. But they’re the only ones.
There are about 20 extremist goobers gumming things up for everybody else. I would think they could be locked in a closet or hand cuffed to their office desks and the rest of the House could get on with “the peoples business” namely a budget and all the other things the extremists have ignored in exchange for performative bullshit for cameras.
Then mebbe it is time to base one’s vote on the competency of the candidate? Are they after the job for themselves or for doing the things the country needs?
This is off topic and I apologize. I’m
fairly new and would like to know how
to make my own post to this forum.
I know how to reply, but can’t figure
out how to post, unless this does it.
Yeah, but the orange one uses it to spread his lies without taking responsibility, Jayapal can rattle of a list of names on demand, starting with a member of their own “Freedom Caucus.”
Does the House’s having been organized at the start of the session mean they can act without a speaker now? 'Cause if not, I guaran-goddam-tee there would be a shutdown imminently, and possibly a bloody long one.
Not in the least. Jayapal named a relatively small group of whom her people are a subset. They can be asked, seriatim, whether they hold that opinion. Drumpf’s many people are an unitentified subset of the cosmos, if that. [In fact, not even that; they are entirely spillage from his loch in kopf.]
