Optics.
Perhaps it is the plan to make DJT speaker of the house. The optics would not be as good if 45 opposed McCarthy because he wanted to be speaker of the house.
Now Trump can get a nomination without that fight against McCarthy.
After all, McCarthy is the first failed speaker vote in 100 years. We all know Trump's world consists of Longshots.
Theory; What if the opposing Repubs is part of THE PLAN? Matt Gaetz has been very verbal about a No McCarthy vote. He said in an interview he would hold out until the cherry blossoms bloom in DC. That's usually early-mid spring.
Would the 'hold out' Repubs do so until the SCOTUS rules on the Brunson v Alma Adams case on Jan 6, 2023? Perhaps that is part of the plan.
The Brunson case was rushed onto the SCOTUS docket for early Jan 2023 review. This would remove 388 members of congress, Pence, Biden & Harris, too for breach of oath. SCOTUS has the power to adjudicate this specific case.
Would Trump then be reinstated to the presidency once the SCOTUS rules/removes the members? (Pence would therefore NOT be reinstated, as he was included in the breach of oath).
So, there may be special elections for all those vacant seats!
Interesting theory. My guess is that those staunch opposition patriots know something more about McCarthy that we don't, and that's why they're not backing down. This could be a delaying tactic for some unforeseen revelation soon to appear in the near future.
He did say "we got them ALL" maybe he really will completely drain the swamp with one blow? That'd be so epic.
Won't happen, but so epic.
From your keyboard to God's ears
delaying tactic for Elon's drops?
Gaetz said mccarthy "sold shares" of himself.
Speaker nomination 2016; Ivan Raiklin's research found he had an affair with another house member (female), he is part of the super pac SBF-FTX scandal/ monies distributed, which makes him an accessory to that crime(s). He supports Ukraine, which we all know is just embezzlement of tax payer dollars and then laundered back into their own pockets or 'charities.' Let's see where this goes. Watch Matt Gaetz commentary on just who McCarthy is...
I wish. I like how you think though.
Makes for a perfect Reluctant hero archetype story line too. 👏🏼👏🏼
You didn't read that article that was posted here about the likelihood of Brunson being seen. I wouldnt get too hopeful.
It could've been done for the optics of having leverage over the DC swamp nefarious activities/agendas. Like packing the supreme court, passing legislation that is unconstitutional.
Remember, out of the blue they reversed Roe v Wade and the decision went back to each states decision on abortions. This could be one of those 'moments in history' that sets precedence on issues like the Brunson case. Which is really all about breach of oath in protecting America and Nat'l Security; i.e. elections, both from foreign and domestic interference. I've viewed several dozen interviews with Loy Brunson and the Brother who brought this case is self educated in the area of law. He's studied the law for years with no degree or JD and has a better understanding than most educated through law school attorneys have...
Recall, Trump is all about Law & Order. And we have so many talking about two tier justice system. This could be the start of righting the ship, so to speak.
Not a chance in hell PDJT is going for Speaker. That would completely undermine his return to the White House, whenever that may be.
Why do you say that?
He's running and/or ascending back to the presidency. Not SOH. Devolution. COGON. Not in the stars. Counterproductive.
He already said he wouldn't run for soh
He doesn't have to run for soh. He can be nominated while golfing at Mar a Lago honestly.
Can he run for President while being Speaker?
Yes he can, it's been done. Polk the 11th president. Granted he was a mason and didn't do consecutively or having been president prior. He was speaker first and then president a few years later.
I have no idea. I can't see why not. But it doesn't seem like something Trump would be interested in doing.
Except for the Constitutional problem that neither Speaker nor President Pro Tempore are eligible to succeed to the presidency because neither positions are Officers of the USA. To be eligible to ascend, must be a member of the Executive branch. Regardless of what the current statute for the order of succession says, after VP, the next legal officer in line is Sec of State.
I had always thought 3rd in line was SOH. That is what I learned as a youngster.
I was taught the same, unfortunately by people who never actually read the Constitution. Speaker is not an Officer of the USA, and thus not eligible.
Are you constitutionally illiterate? Are you incapable of reading something and comprehending what was said?
Speaker is not an Officer of the USA, and thus under the Constitution ineligible to be on the order of succession in cases of presidential vacancy.
Doesn't matter what the current federal statute says. Constitution trumps statute.
Good thunk.
Ive watched Donald Trump since the early 80s and have learned enough to know that there is a reason why he went against the consensus among his base. There is a plan, a countermove. That his endorsement of McCarthy and the votes today would maneuver the enemy into a position of his choosing. That he has chosen the field and prepared it in a manner of his choosing. Sun Tzu, Art of War shit. Game Theory. What brilliant Generals do.
Ive learned not to doubt the man. As he likes to say "Lets see what happens".
I don’t think DJT being Speaker is part of the plan. It doesn’t make sense to me. I could be wrong but I think it’s another bandaid we’re trying to use to piece together parts of the Plan that we don’t understand, or that haven’t been revealed yet. I think we just have to be patient a little while longer.
It’s all just about making a deal! That’s how it works and the Repubics have never had the stones to do it. Gaetz said they tried to strike a deal the night before and McCarthy didn’t budge because he’s an arrogant entitled SOB. But I’d bet money that the deal making is hitting a new level tonight and a deal will be made. I am thinking Trump may even be getting a piece of the deal for support in ‘24. We’ll see but I bet it’s over tomorrow.
It is obvious that this part of the movie is to show how much more dis-functional the US government can become.
It was a psyop! This whole thing is. To expose the enemy and get the public to see! This was all planned. Jordan was Trumps contingency that was expected to be played. It’s chess. Look here not there. “Something you haven’t seen before, I can tell you that!” Donald J Trump.
Makes perfect sense to me.
Trump endorsed him to see if they could push a rino in.
If they can’t push a rino endorsed by trump then they aren’t pushing any rino.
People say that Trump is bad at picking people but if you don't see the pattern it's easy to be confused.. Swamp creatures rely on swamp support of a manicured persona consisting of carefully crafted lies and glossing over shady deals plus lots of money. For some reason when they get into Trump's orbit they can no longer hide who they are. I don't know how he does it, but it happens so regularly it has to be deliberate.
Picking people who fail is not the same thing as picking people to fail.
Time to Trust Sessions
It’s a RINO Drive! 🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏 They’re exposing ALL the Rinos in this should be simple “go along to get along” vote. Patriots are pushing back!
Trump highly values party unity to a fault, thought McCarthy would win, so he endorsed him. Then yesterday happened so he withdrew his vocal support.
Can anyone explain why MTG is bent on McCarthy? You should have heard her on Bannons Warroom ranting about “3 of the 5 (no voters) were demanding personal favors/appointments from McCarthy.” (?) I’m a yuge fan of her platform, grit, and record so far, but where is all this aggression toward the handful of brave and fed up patriots coming from? Any truth to it? I’m missing something here…She was so pissed that she started rambling! It was wild.
If he had supported anyone other than McCarthy the fake news would have roasted that person. The deep state loved his endorsement, they thought they had pulled a fast one on him. By supporting McCarthy they were able to slip a fast one fast them instead. I think it's going to be Jordan and I think that's been the plan the entire time.
Optics for sure. For what reason remains to be seen.
If trump becomes speaker and does what is needed I don't think he could ever be president again.
