It's a long 2 years. A lot will happen that we will not be happy about. Watch and see. And I even wonder if he'll do what they are presently asking. If they really want change, then make it happen. The swamp is the swamp period. These few patriots have my utmost respect. Everyone else is or will be compromised. This is the end to the republican party if he does get this. Him and McConnell are republican death. But then again, we have so many people who are happy with the status quo. We've lost our vision of a Constitutional Republic a long time ago and as of today it shows. We are not a founding-father America.
Evidently McCarthy thought they did as he moved into the Speakers office before they even held the first vote.
I'm telling you if the curtains could be pulled back to view every single person in congress as they truly are, we'd want to send them all packing, except a select few left staggering about from all the evil being spewed their way. Ronny Jackson represents my district and he got a letter from me stating he no longer has my support.
Well yeah, that's politics too LOL The House has been trash for a generation, especially when the RINOs are in charge.
Yeah. Remember how vocal AOC and the Squad were against Pelosi, but when push came to shove, they voted her in every time.
To be fair, AOC voted against the omnibus spending bill.
It's great to see you're still around, ghost of brainl...err, Mr Freeeeezzzze!
Not for patriotic reasons, mind you. It wasn't nearly enough for the commie.
You know that was a meaningless vote. She got everything she wanted and she knew it was going to pass anyway.
One of the FC members can motion to vacate and McCarthy will have to win 218 if he wants to stay on as speaker.
This is what the big fight was about. I'm finally getting it. I know next to nothing about House rules and procedures. The FC fought to get a poison pill provision to be able hold McCarthy's feet to the fire. They succeeded in getting it.
AOC voted against it cause she's secretly a White Hat working with Trump. Right, ray ray?
I love it when they turn on their own
I do want to know what sparked the final outburst that led to the vote happening.
I watched a little of this around midnight in the final vote. Gaetz wasn't on the floor when his name was called, came in later and was the last or one of the last to vote. So that makes sense.I do want to know what sparked the final outburst that led to the vote happening.
IF the last FC holdouts (Biggs, Gaetz, Boebert, other guy) were holding out for the poison pill, then it all makes sense. Have everyone else fold so it creates a scenario where McCarthy is only a couple votes away from winning, then he's willing to come to the holdouts and give them what they want.
And it appears MTG was playing McCarthy the whole time. I wonder if her 'feud' with Boebert wasn't a hoax as well.
This is some 5D Chess being played, and I think we all know who is the only person brilliant enough to put such a plan in place:
During the end of the next to last vote, the guy that nominated McCarthy came over to Gaetz and started talking to him. It was obvious from his mannerisms he was trying to convince Gaetz to go along with him. Gaetz obviously wasn't listening.
I posted this in the other thread, but I just saw an article from Jan 2nd that said that McCarthy's original offer was for it taking FIVE members of the House to move for the motion to vacate and the vote. The article then said the FC wanted it down to 1.
The term limits vote is going to be crucial. Can you imagine the dumb shits in the house removed the 60% threshold and in the end it caused them to end their careers?
I think it’s very possible Gaetz was holding the line and after the 14th vote (and that near fight) McCarthy finally folded and gave in.I do want to know what sparked the final outburst that led to the vote happening.

I looked it up and you’re right.
Interesting, is this a state by state case or would all states have to agree to term limits? Would a 60% vote be needed?
No they took up either one state's term limits attempt on US congress or a couple out of a bunch of states that passed laws at the time and the dissenters which would be like the majority now said unlike the SC 5-4 ruling the individual states can impose term limits on their own congressman. So I think even if they got something through to say only the states could do it then the lefty states would all refuse to do it while the many of the red states would. Both sides seemed to agree the Feds cant do it without a constitutional amendment and states wouldn't be able to force other states to do it without an amendment that would never happen.
That makes a lot a sense, I just learned something new today lol
I went back and looked and I believe that was the vote where Gaetz missed the first call and voted at the end and voted Present.

I have no illusions that a term limit vote would pass, at least not at first. I think it's important to get it to the floor and find out exactly who supports, and who doesn't.
