CSpan ^ | 10/4/23

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) urges his fellow Republicans in the House to get rid of the rule that allows a single member to file a motion to vacate the chair, saying it makes the speaker's job "near impossible." He also says he hopes the Senate will move forward with regular order on remaining appropriations bills ahead of the mid-November government funding deadline.

Yes it was, McCarthy agreed to that provision so the “far right extremists” as the media calls them, would accept McCarthy as speaker

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Pity he nuked his 84% Liberty Score by collaborating with the Democrats master plan to out our own Republican speaker. Never seen in America history
This circus is weakening the whole Republican Party.

The only valuable reason to get rid of McCarthy was if there would have been a secret plan set right from start, where Trump would candidate for speaker of the house. Then this whole endeavor would have been a genius master play.
I would have said bravo.
But there was no follow-up plan! Truly unprofessional and amateurish.

If you don’t want to be ‘vacated’ try keeping your word, for once.

Of Course he does.

Too bad there isn’t a similar one in effect in the Senate.

If the Ukraine is worried about losing their gravy train, removing McCarthy was worth the hassle.

Mitch, it’s good political theater.

The added benefit Mitch, is it exposes Rinos.

Should be adopted in the Senate for the Senate pro tem and majority leader.

Repeal the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution. This amendment put the US Senate in the pocket of US corporations, which are now international corporations without the slightest loyalty to or concern for the Constitution or the American people. In fact, these corporations, many now based in Communist China, see the Constitution as a serious obstacle and look for any way possible to circumvent it, usually by bribing US Senators. Does anyone seriously think that Senator Menendez from New Jersey is the only one? Allow me to point out that Senate Minority Leader McConnell is in business with his Chinese father in law’s shipping business. Our Senate Minority Leader’s loyalty is not to the US or the American people but to Communist China.
The 17th amendment was an illegal usurpation and theft of political power in 1913 under America’s first liberal democrat president, Woodrow Wilson, and must be repealed.
There is no other way to drain the swamp.
