Yup, that'll show them......Guess I won’t be voting anymore.

Im not sure there isnt a donkey speaker on the ballot now!Because we would have had a donkey Speaker on the first ballot.
Not costing a dime more and probably saving because they are not spending…Think how much money this clown show is costing WE THE PEOPLE!
We have other important things to do and if we cant decide on the simple stuff,WE THE PEOPLE are screwed!
Probably threatening the holdouts’s committee appointments is not gonna help get it done.It is hard to understand what is going on for those of left thinking. Heck it is hard for some conservatives. This us what democracy looks like, not the prepackaged uniparty stuff they have been delivering for the last 20 years. See my post added to this post and it spells out exactly what this battle is over.
Well, if you're against it we KNOW they're on the right trackSo…what’s the end game for the freedom caucus?
The republicans need 20 or so votes to seat their guy, the democrats need 10 or so, and the MAGAs need another 400 or so…is forcing an impasse really in their best interests here? I don’t see how this works out in favor of MAGAs at all…this looks like a one-way ticket to the kiddie table to me.
My right or am I now a terrorist?Yup, that'll show them......
All proposals from spending must originate in the house. They could defund the FBI and there isn't a damn thing the senate could do about it. Don't underestimate the power of the purse. Such a budget might not pass the senate, but if they stuck to their guns like the 20 are doing for the speaker vote they could force concessions from the senateCouldn't agree more. Nasty Pelosi is gone and it wasn't like Joe Biden and the Democrat Senate were going to let the Republican House do anything anyway.
Send it.
Or he wants plausible deniability for the inevitable attempts to blame him for the impasse (and everything else)Because Trump isn't always right, and not everyone who likes Trump is in a cult.
The way I see it is him fishing for endorsements in a primary.
No, just no, unless I missed your purple, and I don’t think I did.As much as I despise some of the RINO swamp creatures, I have to begrudge them some respect. I can't imagine the exhaustion of a full day of proceedings, then a full night of backroom deal-making. I guess some personalities thrive on all the social interaction, but I personally couldn't stomach it.

Yep, nothing happens in politics that wasn't planned.This is a feature, not a bug.
Politicians gonna politician.

“The exhaustion of a full day of proceedings”, this may be the reason we are in the shape we’re in. Too many do-nothings. Too many lobbyists. Too many chiefs, not enough indians.
No respect for these fat cats just because they “have” to “work” all night.
I don’t know. If he lost the retention vote, someone else would have to be nominated and elected…so, probably, yes—but according to that thread, that should only be a problem if KM fails to stick to his promises.I'd be curious how that process would play out. Would it be a repeat of what's going on right now?

If we can't elect a different Speaker now, it's hard to envision how you'd do it in mid-stream, after committee assignments have been made and loyalties forged. The people he rewarded would stick up for him, and you'd be right back to square one.I don’t know.

Yeah…don’t get me wrong, I have little faith this will result in much different. I’m just relaying what I’m seeing out on the net.If we can't elect a different Speaker now, it's hard to envision how you'd do it in mid-stream, after committee assignments have been made and loyalties forged.

I'm also wondering what Jenna Ellis thinks is going to be accomplished by "getting down to work!" She sounds like a total ditz and airhead in that post. The work that will be "gotten down to," with Democrats in control of the other pieces, is the type of stuff we wanted the protest to stop in the first place.
TouchéI think the thread title is missing a 1
