Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I am sorry, but I am trying to muster up the enthusiasm for McCarthy's removal, but I truly cannot. My heart, gut, and soul tells me that there is something foul to all of this, especially when Gaetz has to enlist the whole host of the Demonic Rats to boot out McCarthy. Whenever Demonic Rats move as one this quickly, nothing good comes about, and I wonder what Gaetz promised them all for their unquestioning support. Adding to this is that Trump have posted on Truth Social that (paraphrasing here) the Republicans should stop fighting amongst themselves and go after the Demonic Rats, and from what I see here, he is shooting fire at Gaetz.
Gaetz and the MAGA group better pray that they have a plan to sort this out in our favor, or else we just got cheerfully flung out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Patriots are in control.
I don't think anything was promised to the Dems, they voted to vacate to add chaos to chaos, for no other reason, and I think you are right regarding the fact that they hope the GOP is shooting itself in the foot, because Gaetz only had a few votes on the GOP side, because of this, he is at risk to be removed himself, and then what happens? Trump is a possibility to be elected, and that may still happen, if it does, we can see this was a good plan, we must wait and see and continue to pray for this great nation of ours.
Generally, I am with you on this. I don't see (yet) how this is a good move.
The only think that gives me pause is the "one person vote motion" rule put into place in the House rules at the start of the year, which sort of suggests that the plan was to have a "pull the plug" option in place for a specific time in the plan (which would be now).
It's not the first time we don't really know the what and why behind certain DJT team moves, but at this juncture, I can't see the benefits of this move.
