I'm sure part of the side deal he made with the potato over Ukraine included his protection from removal; there will not be enough votes to remove him - but we will see clearly he's a RINO working for the democrats.
I could say something about certain McCarthy lovers too.
For example, remember how you and I specifically butted heads about McCarthy?
Though I'm not a Gaetz hater, I'm not a Gaetz fan either. At least he finally did it instead of talking about doing it. And for that, I'm glad. But we will see who is right in the end about ousting McCarthy.
I was against Gaetz ending his fight against getting McCarthy the role because I don't believe for one second that with the support McCarthy had from the RINOs (and Dems, when needed) that there will be enough to remove him.
I'm saying that we will see if this provision had bite, or it was simply a symbolic gesture. Gaetz insisted when he took shots for backing down that this was enough to keep McCarthy in line. As I predicted from the beginning, that was not the case.
And I still believe it is not the case, because McCarthy wouldn't be so arrogant if it were.
I'll be fucked, it looks like the bastards did it. That's pretty good, good on you Matt Gaetz. We'll see what comes next now.
I gotta say all this school girl drama being played out with these two fellas is quite interesting. I don’t know what has happened to me, but I don’t much care for none of them. They all love to hear themselves talk. Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if they just went back home and let real people run the government. They all have a personal agenda. Only thing I’m interested in is whatever Trumps agenda is, forget the rest of them.
Before we can let real people run the government, real people need to understand how the government has been taken over by the swamp. A lot of this is for the benefit of the sleepers and it is in our best interest to watch it with a certain amount of emotional distance.
You are absolutely right. I’m usually very patient with all of this. I’m the one that says I’m all for the slow trickle of exposure, but for some reason this irritated me, don’t know why, just did.
My little theory is that McCarthy is the one who released the media after Gates about the rape accusations or whatever that news snippet was…. And this is Matt being both correct and in good standing lol
Yeah I agree, I guess it’s all part of the big show. I did take a few days of break from it all, all nothing has changed. McCarthy and Gaetz are still slinging mud hoping it will stick somewhere. Bad enough I have to deal with Flimsy as my Senator. I do have to say, the drama is top notch.
Im in the 'this is all kayfabe' camp. I believe everything we are watching with Gaetz and McCarthy is a purposeful action to awaken the American public to the uniparty and their tactics. This is a very important and necessary realization to quelling public outrage when the arrests begin.
A Member raises a question of the privileges of the House in the form of a resolution. The Member rises on the floor and states, “Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of the privileges of the House, and I offer a resolution which I send to the Clerk’s desk.” The text of the resolution is read. If it is the majority leader or the minority leader who offers the resolution, the Speaker immediately rules as to whether it constitutes a valid question of privilege. If the question is raised by any other Member, consideration of it may be deferred until a time and place within the next two legislative days that the Speaker designates in the legislative schedule. When that time arrives, the Speaker then decides whether the resolution raises a valid question of privilege.
If the Speaker determines that the resolution does raise a valid question of privilege, the House proceeds to consider the resolution under the one-hour rule, with the time for debate equally divided between the resolution’s proponent and either the majority leader or the minority leader, as the Speaker determines. The House may agree to order the previous question on the resolution; if so, the House proceeds to vote on the resolution without amendment or further debate. If the previous question is not ordered, debate may continue under the one-hour rule, and the Member controlling the time may propose an amendment to the resolution. Motions to table or refer the resolution, or to postpone its consideration, are also in order.
A Member raises a question of personal privilege simply by stating that he or she is rising on the floor for that purpose. A question of personal privilege is not raised by resolution. The Speaker then asks the Member to explain the grounds on which the question is based. If the Speaker determines that the Member has raised a valid question of privilege, that Member is recognized immediately to speak for one hour. After this hour for debate, the House takes no further action on the matter. No vote occurs, because there is no question for the House to decide.
Pretty sure it was basically “Since the person making the motion isn’t the Speaker or Minority Leader we will put this off for up to two days.”
Expect somebody to make a motion to table the motion to vacate or possibly send it to a committee. Congress will have to vote on the amended motion first and if approved that will kill the motion to vacate.
There you go, all ya Gaetz haters!
But of course, I did not understand a single word of what the "chair" said after that. Would love to hear an explanation as to what happens next.
I'm not sure of the "priviledge" bs, but basically the Speaker has to call a vote for this specific motion within 2 days.
But if the Speaker does not call a vote? Esp since speaker is the one at the receiving end of this motion?
Has to call. Otherwise, he's in violation.

Wait, come again? Are you saying that ousting McCarthy is wrong? Or are you saying McCathy wont be ousted, ever ?

Okay, you are looking at the onion from one of the lower layers.

I’ve had to take a big step back, spending time in the Word, it’s rejuvenating and I encourage it
The chair serves the bastard?

Questions of Privileges in the House
note: differences between "a question of personal privilege" and "a question of the privileges of the House"
Pretty sure it was basically “Since the person making the motion isn’t the Speaker or Minority Leader we will put this off for up to two days.”
Expect somebody to make a motion to table the motion to vacate or possibly send it to a committee. Congress will have to vote on the amended motion first and if approved that will kill the motion to vacate.
Fucking nothing. That's what happens next.
