The Vote For House Speaker: All We Can Hope For Is Casualties On Both Sides!
“Then, on the very first day, the first thing we’re going to do is repeal the 87,000 IRS agents,” McCarthy continued. “Another reason why the Democrats are mad at me, I think – government should be here to help you, not to go after you, then we’re going to secure our border. You’ve got to secure this border, the millions of people coming across, the fentanyl that’s killing our children. We need to work on our economy. That means making us energy-independent. We need to hold this government accountable. Where’s the origin of COVID began? Find out what this Biden family had done in the process. Make sure the FBI is not going after Americans but actually going after crime. We’ve got so much work behind us, and we need to start on the very first day.”
Sounds great...I guess. Just one little problem; there is no way he can "defund" the IRS because the funding was in the omnibus bill that he voted for. Okay...two problems; the House has no power to "secure the border." Well, three problems; exactly what process will he use to make America energy independent again? And the rest of it is typical "WE WILL INVESTIGATE!" It's just a garden-variety politician spouting talking points in the hope that somebody will believe his bullshit. We have had enough of that crap, and while I don't know what is going to happen today (the House reconvenes at noon), if McCarthy cared at all about America he would withdraw from the race for Speaker of The House, because he clearly has no mandate, nor will he be able to be a unifying force in the upcoming session. And let us never forget his complicity in the shit-show that was the 2022 Midterms. He failed spectacularly, and for that he should be relegated to the backbench...forever. A cursory look at the politicians who are supporting McCarthy finds a Who's-Who of GOPe-friendly, lobbyist-supported machine politicians. And that's no surprise. Unless (or until) the young firebrands who have ridden Trump's coattails into power grow their ranks and remain enemies of traditional politics, nothing will change. Unfortunately, Donald Trump has announced his support for McCarthy, which is in direct opposition to the most conservative members of the House who are among the 20 who voted against McCarthy's speakership. I understand that he wants to be seen as a unifying force within the Republican party, but nothing he can do will change the GOPe policy of virulent anti-Trumpism.They will take his support and then stab him in the back the first chance they get!

He did not fail. Failure would be one thing, but this wasn't failure. He deliberately turfed the election. He and his peers in the Senate and Party (McConnell and Romney) conspired with each other to withhold support from non-Uniparty candidates, actively back opposition candidates, etc. They sacrificed the election with a two-fold goal in mind:
1. Defend the Uniparty at all costs
2. Reduce significant gains to tiny gains so as to increase their own personal power and institutional control while hiding behind razor-thin margins as an excuse for getting nothing done
McConnell failed on the second goal. McCarthy succeeded on both. He mustn't be rewarded for that. There is a lot of speculation about Gaetz's motivations, but I don't care what his motivations are. Due to this factor *alone,* McCarthy needs to be punished. The entire Party establishment needs to be punished. I am glad this humiliation is happening. If it triggers an existential conflict within the GOP, so much the better.

The harm they have done to the Republican Party is incalculable. Today, he couldn’t be elected “Dog Catcher” in Kentucky (Sadly, he only won because of my Endorsement, went up 21 points - SORRY!).

Congress under current laws and rules, is a pit of corruption. Exhibit 1? Liz Cheney's net worth increased from $7 Million, to $45 Million, during her 6 years in the Senate... as she betrayed the Republican party.
EVERY Politician seems to end up rich. Way richer than their salaries can explain... Hell... look at the Obummas...
Without the status quo.... horror of horrors... that corruption might come to light.

but doesn't the speaker of the house control the capitol police and presumbaly their lock-up? let mccarthy promise he'll do whatever he can to drop charges against people being held because they happened to be on the capitol grounds doing nothing on jan 6 and then maybe we can talk.

He's gone to Mar a Lago several times to confer with Trump - a mundane thing that would have been routine in old America, but with the bizarre metabolic rejection of Trump by the political class and all related institutions in the country, it stands out.
Anyway, I'm assuming the two have some kind of understanding on some big matters. Which again is Trump ordering from a skimpy menu. McCarthy I think was on the passive/pathetic/soft side of the GOP revolt against several of Trump's most important/positive initiatives, not one of the active enemies. In any case, nothing in the picture makes it look like McCarthy would be Trump's first choice, based on substance, it's just the situation he and we face.

=========
For all the talk about Trump being a bull in a china shop, he's a reformer, not a revolutionary. He wants to make the system work, and part of that system is the GOP. He tries to get more allies in, but he understands the working with the entrenched leadership is necessary to his future as the leader of the GOP.
He has calculated that he can get more done as president in 2025 with a GOP leadership that he helps rather than one he opposes. I don't think it's a great take considering the perfidious nature of the GOP leadership that we've witnessed again and again and again, but that seems to be his thinking.

Unfortunately, in order to keep up the appearance of a two party system, the Uniparty can't have the Dems voting to support the GOPe candidate and marginalize the minor party. And neither can the Dems cut a deal with the minor party.
What should concern the Dems is that they have a similar minor party embedded inside their appearance of solidarity, and these non-GOPe types are showing by example what a small minority can do to gum up the works.

He also might have calculated that sooner or later this is going to end and the overwhelming odds are that McCarthy is going to win, like it or not.
The high watermark for anyone but McCarthy is 20 votes and some keep insisting without any evidence that if McCarthy just steps aside someone other than McCarthy can get 218. If you just heard Chip Roy's speech, which was quite good, he basically said the holdouts are still holding until they get some specific rule changes. If he's telling the truth McCarthy can end this when he gets the deal he wants.
Frankly, give the current state of things I find someone who actually wants to seal the border and has proved he can pretty damn revolutionary.

One of the dozens of widely accepted shibboleths here for which I've never seen any evidence. May have missed it, but unaware of an example of anything of substance where "flattery and promises" to Trump affected the course of any action or decision of importance.
Smallness of character, misjudgments, and outright deception - can think of examples of those by other figures that were a problem. But outside the video game/bad fiction framework in which much of the discussion here operates, these are not cases of Trump failures vs. failures by others.

I do think McCarthy will win. But the how, and whether it will ultimately, in the long run, be good or bad for the cause is the question.

Wow... interesting thought just hit... so Thanos wanted to get rid of the 'excess population' and the Avengers defeated him...
Now, Woke Hollywood is busy getting rid of all the Avengers...
I guess they REALLY did not like that Thanos lost?

Well, in theory.
They could stop paying for EVERYTHING to get border security, Fauci on trial, payouts to the victims of the clot shot and so on.
But as leader McCarthy wouldn't do any of that. He'll keep the Dems from raising taxes on corporations and...err...that's about it.

Yes our system as evolved has different rhythms and patterns, but a fight over leadership in a legislature is often the main routine event in parliamentary systems.
But FFS a leadership selection process any more turbulent than the allocation of posts in the Supreme Soviet, in a system/situation desperately calling out for radical changes of course, is obviously to be welcomed.

I actually finally saw the quote. Trump's complaint was 1. why didn't they show up to vote in the mid-terms, and 2. why did Linsey Graham bring up abortion in the Senate (he did it to tank the election) when the Supreme Court had just ruled that it is a state issue.
I don't disagree with either of those complaints.

Parties can die almost immediately in electoral terms. The Progressive Conservative Party went from a majority in Canada's Parliament to only having two seats in 1993. The Whigs in the US took about 6 years to die. About 8 years for the Federalist party with another 8 years as a feckless dead end.
The major factor behind a rapid party death is elites that cannot win office and are shut out of the majority party endorse a new party in hopes of gaining office again.

The House, unlike the Senate, has no continuing rules except one--it takes 218 to become speaker assuming all 435 members are alive.

Absolutely. It took less than a decade for the Republican Party to completely gut the American political system... it can happen.
I'm just trying to goad people into action (or, more accurately, inaction) so it can be their turn to head into the trash-heap.

The second one is my favorite. Basically a re-do of the first, but with even more amazing camera work (hard to top the first) and more comedic elements. That's where Ash gets his chainsaw proper. Somewhere there's an interview with Tarantino gushing over the cinematography, saying it changed him forever.

McCarthy is a multimillionaire and Luntz the Duntz is too. Luntz's hideous house includes a full scale replica of the Oval Office and reportedly McCarthy lives in a room with a bathroom which makes it an apartment in DC.
Plus, there is the walking and talking violation of House ethics rules by literally a leader of the GOP living with a corporate lobbyist that has a number of clients wanting legislative favors and making good money from it. Plus, as leader, McCarthy makes sure that the House GOP and RNC pays Luntz for his vapid corporate tinted insights.

He is probably right too, except that that GOP leadership is going to do their best to make sure that doesn't happen.
So they'll end up with someone who won't work with them, and is willing to tear the house down.
180: As I understand it, the hold-outs did say what they needed, but it sounds like Crenshaw's threats burned that bridge real good. So now it's just a question of whether we end up with the D as speaker, or if they find someone other than McCarthy.
While I still suspect the leftist will somehow be worse than McCarthy, I'm not sure how much difference it wouldake at this point.
Heck, given the omnibus funded the country through summer at least, I'm not sure not having any speaker at all is going to be a big deal. It's not like we've got a shutdown looming, and what else does Congress even do anymore but pass laws no-one wants and spend money we don't have?

Well, first of all, an agency of the government that is independent of the will of the people was always a giant problem, and that's what the FBI has been since the beginning.
So, it's just a question of which power center that's not the American people gets to wield the FBI, and it has now become the progressive left. The FBI was always a mistake.

I did not care for the series, but I was hoping for something more like Army of Darkness all along, rather than something more like Evil Dead. Stan Versus Evil was a better series in my opinion if you wanted something more like Army of Darkness.

Former President Trump arranged a meeting with House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Scott Perry and House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy ahead of the fourth ballot in the election for House speaker set to occur on Wednesday, Just the News has learned.

The major barrier to a new party is that many if not most states have laws making it difficult for third parties such as ballot access, requiring expensive party paid primaries, leadership, and so on. One possible way around it would the old endorser strategy where third parties are created in states that are loosely federated and they endorse major party candidates if those candidates agree to certain positions and they run their own candidates if the major parties balk.
Instead of starting nationally, the Reform party started at the provincial level in Canada and surfed off of the failures and corruption of the Liberal Party national government. A similar approach might win in a state and follow the old Democrat Farm Labor strategy in Minnesota from the Progressive era.

At this point, I'm rooting for a change within the GOP that weakens the establishment. Taking out McCarthy and replacing him with some other spineless pork rectum who can't get anything done without the history to get him there makes him an easier target in 2024 than McCarthy would be at the same time.

Tarantino is a sticky fingered fantasy director, dressed up as a pulp director, all of his films are fantasies and not grounded in the real world at all.
Sometimes the fantasies work, sometimes they don't.
I would say they are all interesting except for Jackie Brown, which was his least fantastical film.

Trump's background is that you can make a deal even with untrustworthy types. In business, that can be true by use of contract law. Even in foreign policy, that is so via punitive measures against a country or its individuals. In internal politics, not so much as it is difficult to provide immediate sanctions to those breaking agreements and those individuals have every reason to smile and lie today in order to screw the others.
Essentially, Trump keeps trusting the GOPe to do the right thing and he ends up like Charlie Brown when the GOPe Lucy pulls the football away at the last minute.

Starz then, they're all the same to me. My TV time is pretty limited, and I've been stunned at the recent competition for free streaming services. I'm a cheapskate first and foremost. Freevee, Tubi (especially), Roku and Pluto have stepped up their game. I could pretty much watch a good movie every single night all month. And the way things go, it still takes me 2 nights to get through a movie.
I see that several sellers on eBay have Ash v. Evil Dead complete series for about $20.

It's crazy how Crenshaw has morphed into McCain. The same nasty streak. The same willingness to run to the cameras to trash conservatives. The same warmongering.
The holdouts nominating someone different each time is a clever way to blunt Crenshaw's "if not Kevin, who?" talking point.
That same charge can be flipped on Crenshaw for having no alternative other than McCarthy.

It may be a quirk of his ego that he doesn't seem to understand the depth of hatred the establishment class has for him (related to his indomitably positive spirit). That is, his eternal delusion that he can work with, make deals with, schmooze into his camp, these people who hate him and hate us. Maybe his "tragic flaw." Strange, considering what he's been through.

I can see that and unless he makes a course correction soon, I think Trump is becoming irrelevant because you cannot reason with someone to give up power--you can only crush them Conan style.

yeah. TBF, he wouldn't have done it to begin with if he felt he couldn't make a difference. He didn't do it for the money.
Apparently he still feels he can make a difference some how. He's a LOT more optimistic than the average moron here. All I know is that 2 Thess 2 seems like its in play this year.

Well, at least he is eliminating the 'do all the things' smokescreen and just going to cave to the Dems immediately. I like how his principles lasted until after Noon at least.

We need someone far more focused on issues than on me-me-me-remember-2020?
He coulda been a contenda but now he's just a joke. For him everything is VERY personal.
Unfortunate for him, tragic for the country if we don't kick him to the curb.

This is an old Republican game: the number of them who need to defect do, usually people who are otherwise safe or goners (having nothing to lose in either case), while the rest lament that this fell thing had to be.

Of course he is. The guy is basically a Democrat to begin with and he lusts for power more than anything in his life. He'll do anything it takes to be speaker, pay anything, sacrifice anything. Just so long as his political enemies (anyone who loves the constitution and America) do not gain power.

And I was hoping for GOPe members voting for Jeffries...
Still, the agreement will need to include Democrats actually going through and voting for McCarthy to save him. They have to be enjoying what they're watching too much to simply save him for nothing.
Democrats are going to end up with majorities on every committee just so McCarthy can have that office.

That he chooses the literal other party to control him out in the open rather than stepping down is just so on brand for the modern GOP.

>>I dunno 2000s and 2010s are pretty dreary as well.
Era's had their ups and downs but there have been numerous tremendous, important films and masterpieces produced every decade from 1939 to roughly 2005, after that, things fall off the cliff.
Like fall, fall, there hasn't been a masterpiece in the last decade.

its all theatre. He is already on their team. They just wanted to make the GOP fold, so they could have cover. Now there's no cover. The GOPe owns the whole catastrophe going forward. There is no explicit difference between the parties. Which is good, because it has just been a puppet show for decades anyway.

I suppose that could be the source. But if you boil Hateful Eight down to a bunch of strangers meeting in an isolated place, and nobody's who they seem, and murders happen, it's a pretty standard mystery story.

Damn straight. 99+% of the country - and much of the MFM - didn't even know this process happens every election. That it's taking a few moments where there's tangible disagreement at a critical time in the nation's history should be embraced not only for the relief we get from the regular legislation racing to screw us over but for the actual presentation of platform that almost always happens in smoke-filled rooms.
And the MFM wants this to be a story so they can invent yet another fiction about how the nation is crumbling and falling apart due to the Republicans. The old "It's not news until we say it is" routine. These proxy DNC operatives who didn't understand the process at all a few days ago are now spinning this as a great catastrophe of epic proportions. Get a grip. It's not. Not in the least.
Embrace the suck and hope we get some deviation from the fixed trajectory of fail we've been suffering for decades.

DeSantis makes the right sounds but its what he does not say that worries me. Zip about the political prosecution of the Jan 6 demonstrators. Zero about the weaponization of the executive agencies. Zero about the outright criminal behavior of the courts.
Looks like I will not be voting again. I say raise the black flag and water the tree of liberty. The government is utterly corrupt and worse than most I saw in the third world.

Mike Miller of RedState.com writes another NeverTrump piece, this time claiming that the Kevin McCarthy failure to secure the House Speaker's spot is due to President Trump's waning influence over Republicans.
Ah Mike, there you go again. It's whatever you have to tell yourself and everyone else to keep your Trump hate alive, asshole.
Kevin McCarthy is in the spot he's in because of Kevin McCarthy. Peroid. And he deserves what he's getting, much like you and RedState.
