He’s just out as speaker, it won’t affect the seat count. Still should be funny to watch the republicans try to elect a replacement. Plus, no legislation for a while which is a win in my book
Republicans on the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus are considering quitting the group “en masse” after Democratic members voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker, a GOP member said.
I'm sorry who called for his removal and actually cast the votes that kicked him out?
I deleted my previous comment as it was incorrect, but I already received replies, so le tme correct myself. Some are accusing CNN of shifting right pretty aggressively.
The guy backed out of the deal he agreed to and then brought forward an impeachment investigation on Biden and then expected the democrats to protect him. The guy played himself like a fiddle.
It’s funny for a guy that wanted that job so bad, it’s as if he tried to lose it by pissing off as many people as he could. The funny part now is that the moderate Republicans are now talking about working with the Democrats to get in someone they agree with and render the far right obsolete.
That 15 vote crucifixion last time was so funny/humiliating. I wish this was even more drawn out. Like it’s 40k years into the future and they’re still voting out the God House Speaker of Mankind but can’t get enough moderate republicans to do it.
Modern Democrats are the ones that game theorize themselves into complete indolence.
Modern Republicans, on the other hand, are like that scorpion from The Scorpion and the Frog. All they know how to do is blindly attack, and in their echo chamber of the house, where they had the power to preemptively sideline their enemies, of course they start stinging each other. It’s all Republicans went there to do: attack, tear down, destroy.
Just ask Bohner and Ryan, the last 2 appointed scorpion wranglers.
He didn't get ousted after all that sex trafficking of children he did. Maybe Republicans are sick enough of him that he will be expelled, but I'm not holding my breath.
