HOUSE FINISHES SECRET BALLET, SCALISE WINS (NEWSMAX)
HOUSE FINISHES SECRET BALLET
For curiosity sake in reference to ‘BALLET’ what dance were they dancing???
This is good news. The crazies lost.
He endorsed who he thought would win....same MO....different day.
My point is that Trump should have more strongly endorsed, even demanded, Jordan. I think Scalise is just a different flavor of McCarthy and the past, he’s part of McCarthy’s leadership team.
Yep… he did take a bullet, got back up and kept fighting. That part gives me hope.
.
Definitely a Establishment swamper
One very right answer. And now we move on.
They got rid of McCarthy because he didn’t keep his promises. Scalise is pretty conservative, acting first as minority whip to McCarthys minority leader he had to toe the line. Same when he became majority leader when McCarthy was SoH. You have to be a team player, but I’m not worried about his conservative roots. The only thing that worries me is he is fighting cancer.
“But Scalise was wounded in action.
Can you say that about McCarthy?”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Exactly.
I have a deep respect for survivors. Especially for conservatives being shot at by fanatical domestic far-left-wing terrorists.
Scalise was shot in the head for God’s sake!
And he survived it! He was chosen by God. It’s a miracle.
I have deep respect for Americans gravely wounded in action of their beliefs.
Scalise is a good human being.
Trump has canonized him time and time again.
It's a very difficult disease. My brother has it. Scalise will be absent frequently.
Because it made accountability a deterrent.
We are so screwed!
Once I heard Gaetz saying, “they’re both good men, we win either way” I knew it was over. It’s not on Trump. The 8 who voted against McCarthy needed to go to bat with whomever THEY wanted and held the line. Without that the swamp was always going to want the next in line. This changed nothing in the end. Gaetz drops back to earth for me as when I saw him throw all caution to the wind I thought he’d do something special. In the end he just took the next guy in line.
Yea but I am confident they are going to remove the motion to vacate. In the end they’ll be in a weaker position.
One reply so far that is not all weaselly!!!
Thank you.
Either of the contenders is going to be an improvement.
Maybe some of you b!tching FReepers should realize that “perfect” does not exist in the US Congress.
It doesn’t even exist in the mind of an imperfect person. Think about that.
Scalise won because he can raise more cash for campaigns
than Jordan,and money is the milk of politics.
I preferred Jordan because he has fighter in him and
Scalise has always been a softie, he will bend over and
give the uniparty Ukraine money, extend the budget deadline.
He won’t be as bad as Charlie McCarthy but it ain’t good.
I heard that they did not get along—at least not in recent times—and that Scalise was not happy with Kevin. Who knows.
If the motion can only be used once it doesn’t matter when that bell was rung. At least sunlight was administered.
It does.
