Will McCarthy be Vacated from Speakership? Who Will Succeed McCarthy?
-
Have to wonder: What is Gaetz's end game here?
More concessions? A run at speakership? Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker?
It reminds me of the dog that finally catches the car: "NOW what am I going to do with it?"

Drive it across State lines for unspecified purposes, presumably.

McCarthy says he won't run for speaker again.
Who can blame him?
He seems to have wanted that job for a long time.
Now, not only he had the job, he also made history with it.
As the first Speaker of the House to be vacated.
Down the history books he goes.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/kevin-mccarthy-says-wont-run-house-speaker-rcna118611

It's really interesting to see the reactions from the RWEC.
"Thus, the so-called Freedom Caucus — which didn’t say much when Donald Trump spent like Barack Obama — claimed McCarthy made them promises he didn’t keep and insisted that something must be done. …"

It seems to me that the Freedom Caucus does not so much want its voice heard and taken into account but rather, insists that its voice and subsequent commands be obeyed without question.

McCarthy, appropriately bitter, commented that he's upset that 4% of his caucus controls who speaks for them.

Ax asked the following:
-
Will McCarthy be vacated from Speakership?
-
If so, who do you think will be the next Speaker of the House?
-
(Whom would like to see as the Speaker of the House of not McCarthy?)
Jolly responded:
- No
- N/A
- Mickey Mouse
So you think Mickey has a chance now?

About as good a shot as anybody.
The GOP screwed the pooch on this one.

Nice. They can't do a goddamn thing FOR A WEEK.
The funding bill they passed is only good for 45 days, and they are wasting at least one week of it doing nothing. Chances are they will waste even more time dealing with the fallouts rather than negotiating government funding.

Now what, you morons?
Exactly. At the very time the GOP needs to be the adult in the room they throw a tantrum. I do not blame the Democrats for not stopping it.

As I said earlier, "They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity."
It reminds of the early days of TNCR, when someone (I don't remember who) said to someone else (I don't remember who), "You never fail to fail."

Did I say that? It sounds familiar but I can’t remember. Hell, it’s been almost 20 years.
