Can he get 217 votes? Can anybody?

Democrats can with the votes of the so-called Republicans who voted with them. They are apparently so foolish that not only will their way get President Biden re-elected (Trump’s commentary on the war is foolish), it will get Biden a Democrat House and Senate. Gaetz’ fault; also Netanyahu likely finished after war;

“”””That’s the problem. Scalise is GOPe and Jordan is MAGA Tea arty. If neither of them can get the 217 (218 is an absolute majority), then who can? The Establishment doesn’t want Jordan and MAGA doesn’t want McCarthy, Scalise, or anyone like them. Who can get the votes that is worth giving them to?

This is why Gaetz’s gambit was a bad idea. Once you kill the King, you have to have a plan for the aftermath.””””


Just maybe Gaetz’s “plan for the aftermath” was to further expose the GOPe in the House. In that regard Gaetz has been very successful.

Gaetz plan, not that he is politically astute enough to realize the damage he does, is to have Hakeem Jeffries end up as Speaker with a Democrat Senate and President.

I hate to step out and puke after watching Bret Baier interview McCarthy last night. It became ridiculous after Brett begged McCarthy to re-enter the race about 17 times, then he got down on his knees, just awful.

I wish squishes would STHU.

I wish mindless, babbling idiots would STHU. But they never do, and I guess there's some amusement value in that. Thanks for doing your part in amusing me.
