house speaker fiasco

[Paladin]

The fix has been in on this from the get-go. Pelosi's seat didn't have a chance to grow cold before McCarthy was already occupying it (literally). Notice that the usual political and media suspects aren't griping about McCarthy himself, but about the process of getting him in. That tells you all you need to know. Meet the new swamp creature, same as the old swamp creature.

In The Lone Gladio, Sibel Edmonds, who had access to the most sensitive raw classified intelligence, suggests that Swamp creatures such as Congressional leaders are highly compromised individuals who act under blackmail. For example, Dennis Hastert molested young boys. Then there are mafia types like the Clintons. Bill and his brother Roger grew up in Hot Springs Arkansas, a mafia town, and were found to be listed in a local mafia phone directory found at the mafia museum in Hot Springs. Hillary is from Chicago and was close with Saul Alinsky who was almost certainly a highly placed member of The Outfit. Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger who worked with Al Capone.

Well, it’s finally over, McCarthy is Speaker. Congress can move forward screwing the people.

Wonder if Brandon will sign?

Bread and circuses…..nothing the Republican House does will get through the Democrat Senate. Brandon won’t have to lift his pen.

So House Republicans should just do nothing because of the Senate Democrats.

They should keep passing legislation that puts the Democrats on the spot and highlights their insanity. Hardly any piece of legislation makes it out of Congress the first time is proposed, most of it takes a couple different sessions at least, and some changes in seating. The house Republicans should use every opportunity to hammer on the Senate Democrats and Joe Biden, Way to do that is with their committee investigations in passing legislation that Joe and the Senate Democrats (and the Senate Republicans) have to take a stand on.

Per the Constitution all funding is suppose to start in the house, so if the Republicans have the intestinal fortitude they could bring almost everything to a halt from financial starvation

Didn't the 1.7 trillion spending bill kind of pay for everything through October?

$1.7 trillion…with help from those Republicans without intestinal fortitude.
