I’ve never agreed with the lame duck voting in leadership, but isn’t this the same way the process always works? And every time we pretend like it’s some ‘secret’ or ‘surprise’, when they’ve been doing it this way for as long as I’ve been aware of leadership votes.

Understand the feeling. I voted straight GOP ticket EXCEPT for my incumbent congress oligarch. He couldn’t support Trump, so I voted for his Democratic challenger. The oligarch won. This time. He needs to be primaried in 2 years.

No votes for RINO’s and that means all but a handful who oppose the leadership and I mean only nine the last time they voted Ryan in.

If you think the mandarins are plotting in the house, wait until we see the Senate.

From: http://conservativeactionproject.com/congress-should-not-hold-a-lame-duck-session/

WASHINGTON, DC:

As Congress approaches the end of their second session, we conservative leaders want to emphasize the message we sent to the Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of the Senate in April of this year: Congress should not hold a so-called “lame duck” session after this year’s elections.

Historically, lame duck sessions have been used to enact backroom deals that are neither beneficial to the American people nor representative of their will as expressed in the elections of only a few days or weeks before. Past lame duck sessions have produced, among other actions, massive tax and spending increases, pay raises for members of Congress, and ratifications of treaties that threaten U.S. sovereignty.

At a time when the American people’s trust in their government is near an all-time low, Congress should demonstrate exemplary behavior by completing its work before the November elections so that voters can judge all the legislators on the basis of the votes they have cast. Because legislators who have been defeated in an election or are retiring are no longer accountable to the voters for their votes, any actions taken which required their votes are essentially undemocratic. To that end, Congress should not pass any continuing appropriations bill that expires during the post-election period, necessitating additional action to avoid a government shutdown.

Congress must not provide President Obama with an additional opportunity to enact his agenda of progressive social engineering programs and job-killing economic policies before he leaves office. A lame duck session would be his swan song: He can be expected to leave no arm untwisted, no threat unmade, no quid un-quod, to get his dream-policies enacted, his liberal judges confirmed, and his international agreements approved. And all of it could be done without any concern for what the voters actually want. We think that’s a bad way to run a republic.

The American people want, and should have, good representation by their elected officials. The way to get good representation is by having the opportunity to hold those officials accountable. True accountability means finishing Congress’ work for the year before the November elections and not holding a lame duck session.

Dobbs has become a national treasure.

While the FNC came out in full Never Trump mode over the past year-plus, Dobbs kept on keeping on over on their business channel.

The usual gang of suspects (big business stooges) are trying to eliminate the rule allowing a vote of no confidence to force the Speaker out in mid-term. There is about to be a quite mischievous lame duck caucus of “Republican” members of the 2014 to 2016 Congress to eliminate that rule and to nominate Paul Eunoch Ryan to be Speaker for 1/2017-1/2019. The actual election of the Speaker will be formally done by the 435 members of the NEW Congress but the nominees are determined this year by outgoing Congress members.

Paul “Cowardly” Ryan seems concerned. Rightfully so.

Just read that Minnesota elected their first Muslim!! this is a warning to Minnesota... just take a look at what happened to London.. this is going to be your future! All you need is one radical Muslim in office to turn a state upside down! Muslims have no business in our government they are a danger to the democracy of this country! It looks like they reached their first goal and So now it begins!

Which is one of the things paul ryan demanded when he agreed to become speaker of the house in the first place.

I knew something was up when Ryan called for a presser before Clinton’s concession speech, taking advantage an enormous viewer audience.

His ‘enthusiasm’ was also completely disingenuous.
