HOUSE FINISHES SECRET BALLET, SCALISE WINS (NEWSMAX)
Here comes the whining and foot stomping from the never-happy people.
Hard to imagine those congresspeople in pink slippers and tutus.
Scalise will be almost indistinguishable from McCarthy in how he runs the House.
Which demonstrates how pointless all of this was in the first place.
Multiple twitter accounts reporting 113 to 99
š¤¢.......................
Yes, generally agree. I donāt think Gaetz and his conspirators were prepared for winning. Well, hopefully Scalise will set a new course. And hopefully that includes no more aid for the Ukraine. Maybe heāll entertain a declaration of war against Hamas? And maybe he will use the house power of the purse effectively. We can always hope.
It was about the budget and spending us into bankruptcy.
Seriously?
Too bad, 8 may have put Jordan over the top.
It was about the budget and spending us into bankruptcy.
And why does anyone think Scalise won’t follow?
Exactly !
Another reason I’ll be ditching the Republican party when the Trump era eventually comes to a close.
“How ironic. After years of politely declining to run for a party leadership position, Jim Jordan does chose to go for it, only to be smacked back down by something that looks like a RINO.”
Jordan ran for House Minority Leader in 2018 against McCarthy. He lost. The vote was 159-43.
The majority of Republicans in the House are moderates, not conservatives, and they will not vote for a conservative leader any more than Republican Senators.
Citizens who vote for a Republican politician in most cases are voting for status quo. Since Gingrich was forced out House Republicans have chosen Hastert, Boehner, Ryan, McCarthy, and now Scalise to lead them. Conservative leadership will not come from either Democrats or Republicans in the House or Senate. The only way there will be conservatives in charge of Congress is if a conservative third party is formed and convinces the electorate to put it in power.
Too much, my bad.
What can we expect from a secret ballet?
But probably very accurate....................
Getting shot doesn’t qualify you for anything.
That said, he’s a solid conservative.
Getting debate questions isn’t a felony.
Campaign finance fraud is. And so is identity theft, the latest charge against Santos.
