Bud light McCarthy..
Just do it.
They got the pistol brace bill on next Tuesday’s schedule because of this. McCarthy needs to choose to be Hakeem Jeffries’ bitch or the Freedom Caucus’ bitch for the long term. I bet it will be Jeffries. McCarthy is a total POS.
For those who don’t know a rule is similar to cloture on the senate. You have to pass the rule before you pass a bill.
"I made a Deal," he says. "It is better than had I just given it all away!"
1% is better than no deal at all to a Dealmaker. No deal is a failure to him. Any 'deal" is a Sucess because it is a deal. It does not matter that perhaps he has lost more than he would have won had he held the line- No Farther!.
So, the 11 voted with the Dems on this. They voted to allow Biden to ban gas stoves. Makes them members of the Uniparty I’d say.
“We’re frustrated with the way this place is operating,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.,
Said the guy who voted “present” to allow McCarthy the speakership.
I was frustrated that SIX had the power to deny McCarthy the speakership and CAVED.
If Gaetz and his merry band of six had the courage to go with their “conservative” principles, they’d STILL be taking votes for speaker.
Or Kevin would have exercised the nuclear option and used Democrat votes.
Or Kevin would have thrown in the towel.
Gaetz got NOTHING for holding out.
McCarthy only needed 112 votes from his caucus to pass the abomination of raising the debt ceiling and KEEP his speakership.
He got thirty-some MORE than he needed.
That math was all done when Gaetz and merry band CLAIMED victory with the “restrictions” placed on McCarthy.
The so-called deal stunk when Gaetz celebrated it.
For those couldn’t smell it then, can you smell it now?
Good. Someone is fighting back against those criminals.
It’s all theater unless there’s a motion to vacate.
