Jordan and Friends want revenge. They will not seat a Speaker that is anywhere even close to being considered "moderate", which means that we have no Speaker, or we get a Speaker with some Dem support, in which case Gaetz/Gym immediate MTV.
There are enough Jordan supporters who have publicly made sure everybody knows they support Jordan, to prevent anybody winning that they don't like.
Assuming someone wins with the help of the Dems, wouldn't those same people vote with the Dems to keep the MTV from passing?

CMC owner here too. Been holding Eli Mitchell all year for this inevitable opportunity. Although, not sure he's the guy now or if Mason will he the lead dog.
Looks like it'll be a short-term/non-existent opportunity for either guy for now. CMC apparently avoided anything serious and could play next week. Realistically though, 49ers should start giving Mason/Mitchell more touches anyway instead of running CMC into the ground.

Why do Scalise supporters have their panties in such a wad if Scalise himself voted for Jordan? I bet they end up folding after a little arm twisting.
Easier for a few randoms to do the dirty work for the higher ups. You really think McCarthy is cool with Jordan being speaker either? He can play along and say he did his part while a few of his backers voted for him instead of Jordan.

Yeah.... if they call the first one, they have to call that one.
...I'd say Big-12 refs have proven for years that just because you call something once in a blue moon *cough, holding on Oklahoma, cough*, that doesn't mean you have to call the other ones.

Low percentage play from the 1 yard line.
I mean, at least they didn't try a fade that never works unless your qb is Brady-Manning level.

Israel
in Cloak Room
22 minutes ago, troph said:It also complete absolves Hamas and the terrorism around Israel. There is no solution except extermination of the Jews and the erasure of the state of Israel that will satisfy them. There is no peace offering that will cause Hamas to abandon their terrorism.
There are three major stakeholders here - Israel, Palestinians and Hamas. War is never the solution for peace but it’s absurd to ask Israel to do nothing when the military apparatus of your neighbor is Hamas. Their tactics are next level heinous. It’s pretty hard not to say get every last one of them, whatever it takes.
one state or two state solution, real peace, it all needs to come soon but Hamas needs to be eliminated from the equation. And yes Israel must account for its actions in suppressing people and promoting apartheid. But eradicating Hamas just isn’t something they should apologize for.
No one's asking for them to stop killing Hamas/apologize for killing Hamas. The issue is that Israel appears to have jumped straight to "fuck it, if we commit genocide/borderline genocide to eliminate Hamas, tough shit for the rest of Palestine."
Dropping leaflets and giving people one day to try and get out (nevermind the fact that there's nowhere really for them to go) is laughably disingenuous. Just forgo the faux warning and shoot everything that moves at that point.
Israel has every right to defend itself from Hamas. Telling us that the only viable defense is the immediate leveling of Gaza and borderline genocide is pure bullshit.

The choices for speaker will be Donald Trump, or a compromise candidate who will offer something to get Dem votes.
In other words, the next speaker of the house will be Donald Trump.
So you're saying Boobert was ahead of the curve by 7-8 months?

Lol. All the Dems switch and support McCarthy, voting him back in.
Why would the Dems to that unless the only two choices were McCarthy or someone from the Gaetz faction? There's no reason to believe McCarthy would follow through on anything he might promise for their help.

So, I presume McCarthy could come back out of this as Speaker if he is voted in again?
99% sure he could try to be elected speaker again, but he gave up virtually everything possible the first time. What more could he offer the the crazies this time around?

it sounds like there isn't really a consensus on what the acting Speaker can and can't do.
It's designed to be short-term, until someone is elected. But how long that is is up to interpretation.
Awesome. Give the two sides something else to fight about. CSPAN ratings going through the roof in the short-term.

where are you reading that?
"Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina will now temporarily lead the House of Representatives after the speaker's position was vacated on Tuesday.
McHenry, who is a top ally of Kevin McCarthy, was appointed speaker pro tempore.
His name was on a list McCarthy was required to give to the clerk in case of a vacancy.
The speaker pro tempore, which is the official title, can only recess the House, adjourn the chamber and recognize speaker nominations."

Hmmmmm..... isn't the smart play by GOP to not have another vote and just move on with business as usual with McHenry up there? I am trying to understand incentive to bother with another vote.
McHenry can only do 3 things as speaker pro tempore:
- recess the House
- adjourn the chamber
- recognize speaker nominations
They can't do shit without a speaker...which I guess is business as usual for this group.

FFS can they move and talk any slower? They took their sweet ass time giving people time to change their mind and save McCarthy.

Both LSU and Florida gonna fire their coaches the day after they play in November at this rate.

Honestly, going for it on 4th and 8 there instead of punting sounds semi-reasonable based on how the rest of this game has gone.

So are we now at either expanded powers for McHenry or nothing in terms of the House of Reps functioning moving forward? Sure looks like Trump won't stay out of this and a significant number of Republicans will switch their vote the second he takes a stance against a candidate.
