I think these details, these bits of behavior, tell us a lot about these people.

Because the House is on a well deserved 16 day break from its rigorous work schedule of not legislating, so there are no new delays, obstruction or investigatory scandals to report.

There’s a certain mild fascination about scorpions stinging each other. Sting harder, scorpions!

The GOP has decided to take a pass on civil war with the libtards and the woke mob, and just go in-house. Simpler. Plus all the stuff about the woke mob is largely p.r., while Republicans sincerely hate each other.

Qevin McQarthy has always been pretty pathetic.

That we’re paying them way to much for them to play acting as legislators?

Surely the most pathetic thing I heard from Kevin McCarthy was that he still hopes to be able to serve in a Trump cabinet.
How did a cheap whore like this end up in the line of succession?

Imagine if the worst kids from your middle school formed a legislature. That’s the GOP caucus in the 118th Congress.
Addendum: Also props to whoever wrote the “spill some tea” in the article headline.

My takeaway?
The Republican Party is filled with unethical people engaged in illegal acts intended to return large amounts of money, both political and personal.

Because if one House R can manage to vacate the Speaker, they derail any progress on passing aid to Ukraine?

If this is supposed to make McCarthy seem more likable, it failed. He’s still weak and cowardly. He can’t clean the stink off himself after he RAN down to Florida to kiss Trump’s ass after Jan 6th. He doesn’t like the Perpetually Drunk Fratboy, but who cares? McCarthy is just a different type of ick.

Doesn’t have to be sound-proofed, though - would be kinda fun to hear the thumping and banging…

Hey, hey, hey, hey…they did manage to pass the last piece of the FY2024 budget, and Empty Greene filed a non-privileged motion to vacate. I’m sure they are in dire need of a 16 day Easter break./snark
Pretty clearly motions in the House go by a different set of Rules of Procedure than Roberts’. Under Robert’s Rules motions are privileged or not privileged by virtue of the nature of the motion. For example, a motion to adjourn is (1) always in order and (2) must be taken up immediately. Under Robert’s Rules if you add a bylaw that says the motion to vacate is a privileged motion, then it is a privileged motion and must be taken up immediately.
What is confounding is that Robert’s Rule were supposed to be based on the House rules of procedure.
So, as usual, I don’t understand what Empty Greene is up to. I kind of doubt that she does understands what she’s up to, either.
