House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) had been planning to call up on the House floor last week a measure from Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) that would have removed him as Speaker of the House if it succeededintending to embarrass Meadowsbut abandoned the plan after his entire leadership structure learned that they did not have the votes to re-elect him as Speaker before the August recess.
[House Majority Leader Kevin] McCarthy was making phone callshe was whipping itand so was [House Majority Whip] Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), a senior conservative movement leader whos had many personal and direct discussions with various House GOP members about this told Breitbart News in an interview last week.
I know members personally who were called by Steve Scalise. So they had the entire leadership whip team frantically making phone calls to members to whip the vote because they wanted to attempt to embarrass Meadows and call the vote [on Wednesday last week] so its not hanging over Boehners head.
What they found out was the exact opposite. They found out bad things would happen, that literally they would be calling the vote without knowing what would happen. Therefore, they did not call the vote and now they have this issue hanging over John Boehners head for the next five weeks.

Drunk and a crybaby. I know our politicians were drunks way back when, but how can boner get away with it in the information age? Photos and videos can be taken by caddies and bartenders everywhere. Why don't drunken binges leak out?

Too bad the good guys are not quite smart enough to lie when asked and say they support Boehner and then vote to oust him once the vote is held. Instead, they tip their hand and he finds out that he might get canned so he refuses to bring it up for a vote. Even the morons on Survivor understand the art of blindsiding your opponent

I quit the Republican party last year when they reelected Boohoo.
They ran as conservatives, promised to rule that way - and the first thing they did was reelect the same old RINOs. I knew they were going to stab us in the back again.

Time to activate your people and give them the truth. Most people these are well educated and many have dealt with drinkers who don’t believe they have any issues in their own families.

I’m betting that somewhere in there is an attempt to veil and positive spin Planned Parenthood’s ghoulish activities.
Probably in regards to: “ and change the federal government’s role in biomedical research and funding.” and “Accelerating the discovery, development, and delivery of life-saving cures”

She said improving the Veterans Affairs system and medical solutions are coming moves in the future. Of course, we have much more to do, McMorris Rodgers said. Dozens of effective solutions to deliver you real results are in the works. (The Hill)
