HIGH NOON, part IV, The Election of The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. LIVE!
C-Span ^ | January 6, 2023 | Dr. Franklin

Posted on 01/06/2023 8:55:42 AM PST by Dr. Franklin

By popular request, this is another "High Noon" thread LIVE from D.C. in the heart of the Swamp!

Did McCarthy make a deal to get enough support either from the 20-21 hold out Republicans to become Speaker, or to get the Dems to vote present, or not vote, such that he might become Speaker underhandedly?

Will Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) again nominate President Donald John Trump, the rightful President of the United States, to be Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, such that he might return as POTUS after a successful petition for writ of quo warranto to remove Slow Joe and the Ho?

Do the Dems have a token white Congresscritter to nominate Jeffries to show they are a party of ethnic diversity?

Stay tuned to this Bat Channel!

I have given thousands of hours of my time worked hard for our candidates, held my nose and voted for these RINOS

Internal contradiction. Either they are not "our" candidates, or they are not "RINOs".

Which is it?

Re: 1080 - Great post!

And no, doubtful if that’s ever been considered.

Rep. Veronica Escobar of TX nominates Jeffries for Speaker again.

They still haven't found a white guy to nominate Jeffries because the Dems lack ethnic diversity.

Your post is thoughtful and the fact I am having trouble digesting it’s implications takes nothing away from it’s truth. I am sadder but perhaps wiser for the red-pilling today.

Boebert just voted for Jordan.

After Jordan says he will not serve in that position.

So doesn't disappoint, I'll give her that. Just a clown.

High noon?

Try the Nuclear Clock, winding down to midnight.

A guaranteed two more years of total bullstuff!

Meanwhile cities are being sacked by Leftists who have been
a massive negative influence on society for the last 50
years. Our very children are being brainwashed to the
whims of demonic individuals.

Hooray, we’ve got another flaccid dik in there.

Rep. Gaetz of FL votes for Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House.

McCarthy appears to lack the votes again for Speaker.

Cities being sacked are not going to change with much from DC. Local policing and courts are a local responsibility. The Fed’s can do little to impact that.

Many of the “big issues” are local.

Now—immigration and Federal budgets are issues that need to be addressed Federally.

What is the enforcement mechanism for any deal reached between McCarthy and the holdouts? What specifically could be done to make the deal happen if McCarthy changes his mind on one issue or the other. If they move to remove him, the remaining bought and paid-for Republicans will simply vote to keep him.

Therefore, I only see unenforceable promises...

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Rep. Andy Harris of MD flips for McCarthy.

And he looked like someone crapped all over him too, so I'm sure he's not happy about having to do it. Machinations going on...

Well none of us are happy with the current landscape but this supposedly written agreement will bind McCarthy to whatever changes are being agreed to. He will be somewhat nuetered.

I think you make a reasoned point.

I will also say that the Attorney General could bring charges
against any DAs that are not abiding by the laws of their
cities, states, and even the fed.

The fed can also withhold certain funds if states are going
to go the anarchy route.

Just shut off all federal dollars if cities choose to allow
their businesses and individuals to be defenseless.

Granted, there are some issues with that, but there hasn’t
been any push-back to states going rogue.
