Kevin's House?

[schuylaar]

Sure, that approach has worked so well for the Republic so far.

We are united, unlike them.

 

[CunningCanuk]

so?

So what?

At a certain point, Democrats helping the nation by being the grown-ups becomes enabling your alcoholic, unemployed child by letting them live with you while messing up the rest of your family.

Perhaps Jack can address the issue by investigating the Insurrectionist Congress Critters and indicting a few? The 14th amendment works for me.

The problem is nobody is getting back to work until a speaker is elected and Jeffries is not going to be speaker in this Congress.

Do you mean the congress members work, or the rest of the government employees?

I haven't confirmed it or anything, but pretty sure the Democrats pretty much knew that the Republicans were going to melt down and funded everything for a while, so all those people are still working to make our nation operate.

 

[schuylaar]

so?

If McCarthy were smart with all the 'deals', he give the Dems what they needed and McCarthy be off the hook for all the 'deals' with Satan's Freedom Caucus.

Who needs to get back to work? A GOP House? Jeffries is more Speaker of The House, than McCarthy is.

Congress.

 

[cannabineer]

This is true + McCarthy has nothing to offer Dems.

McCarthy very specifically endorsed every element of the undeclared Repug platform of, to misquote Lenin, the permanent insurrection. Every element.
I am frankly shocked to read that members I thought were OK upstairs are seriously suggesting the Dems break their magnificent demonstration of unity. They did it using hecka more moral suasion than the overthrow party.

Everything's been taken care of for a few quarters.

that’s what I’m saying!
so? = so what?

We're not giving them one member, not one.

He’d have to find five more Rs to work with him.

 

[cannabineer]

does this mean you forgot what I’m challenging?

shrug

 

[hanimmal]

Congress.

Right on, I guess I am settled in for the long haul and am not really thinking that is going to happen until Jan 2025. But who knows, we may get extremely lucky and a handful of the Republicans decide enough is enough and drop their fascist masks and join the Democrats.

Or someone normal gets enough Republican votes that the Democrats would be willing to nominate them for a somewhat normal congress. Either way I wouldn't count on a Republican house getting much of anything done, and I am guessing the Republicans will end up shutting down the government around next Christmas once again.

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

If there is no way for Jeffries to actually gain the seat(can't see the Reps. accepting that),I see the next best solution as the Dems giving up some votes to put someone in the seat. In exchange for the elimination of the deal brokered w/the burn it all down faction,those wierdo's can't be given a snifff of the power McCarthy surrendered and the house will be paralized to actually conduct business under that scenario.The removal of the Santos seat and Jim Jordan doesn't get appointed to head any committees.

IF the dems negotiate they should be SAVAGE...demand public repudiation and condemnation of the entire freedumb carcass, not one carcass member gets on any committee, and NO FUCKING HUNTER BIDEN HORSESHIT...IN FUCKING NOTARIZED WRITING...
or they can swing in the wind till they turn into fucking dust.

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

Just a thought,something must be done,it's vital to our nation to have a functioning house,I'd love to see Jeffries by default but the Reps will never allow it.

actually...it's not so vital at the moment, this could drag out into September with no real consequences at all...

 

[schuylaar]

Congress.

The Senate, The Executive Branches are both working.

the spite caucus won’t allow a somewhat normal legislator to have a shot. Siege mentality is in evidence.
