The Founders separated from England, but they had a plan.
True leaders, always have a plan.
McCarthy was useless. Fair enough. But even leftist revolutionaries have a plan when they do their thing.
What’s Gaetz‘s plan? Keep celebrating in the end zone even after the game has moved on? Continued showboating tweets? More interviews?
Re: 5 - he wants to move to Regular Order, separate Appropriations bills, etc. But you are correct - he’s said little about those the last two days. Just preening for the camera.
Thomas Massie believes the House may well have to go back to Omnibus spending bills. Like him or hate him.
I will predict there will be no government shutdowns, whoever the new Speaker is.
“What’s Gaetz‘s plan?”
His “plan” didn’t start this week.
It began in January, i.e., to have a patriot in the office of Speaker, and he led that effort. Contingencies were made clear to KM what he had to do keep his position or else he had to vacate. Step 1 of Gaetz’ plan.
He failed miserably, and was blatant and arrogant about it. He’s gone. That was Step 2 in Gaetz’ plan.
Step 3 is to elect a Speaker who is more concerned about Americans than appeasing donors, RATs, China, and lobbyists.
Sadly, none of the people who’ve thrown their hats in the ring seem to be that kind of person.
On the other hand, it doesn’t seem to bother you at all that McCarthy literally announced to the nation in his presser that he made a deal with Pelosi to stay in power and she double crossed him. He’s not a very bright man if he didn’t see that one coming.

I keep hearing this narrative. What if this is the plan? The plan was to introduce a concept to these RINO’s, namely, Accountability.
For as long as I can remember the McCarthy types have been campaign to the base treating us like rubes. Sell the conservative principles hard during the election and then routinely abandon them in the name of “governing.” I wonder when Pelosi ever gave a crud about that? McCarty’s farewell speech was confirmation of this and reads more like a confession.
Gratz’s plan? To chop off a head and hold it out to the GOPe and say “enough!!” Part of doing that is dancing in the end zone. The hue and cry from the GOPe has been telling. Mitch McConnell- “the House shouldn’t allow Morions to Vacate!!” Uh huh. Funny how the Statists main goal is always to shield from accountability. The Dems have built an entire party on it- it’s called election fraud.
Enough of the Bush era “tell the rubes one thing and then pander to the dem base, be intimidated by the media and apologize for those damn deplorables who try to hold you hostage.” The GOPe’s favorite pastime? Accepting with gusto whatever left wing narrative that is advanced and then grovel.
What if Gaetz and his accountability wing will likely not raise a stink the next speaker election? Where does that leave the narrative then? The plan? The plan is and was evident. The people crafting the narrative hate that plan- ACCOUNTABILITY!!
Remember....No plan survives the first contact with the enemy.
When you are being butt raped by a huge RINO, the first plan of action is to kill the RINO. Get it?
