Mlle. Zabzie Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Still feels like we are in conversation with our friends in the UK. Rounds of inconclusive balloting among party faithful to elect a compromise candidate? CHECK. Immediate ability to no confidence the vegetable actually elected? CHECK.... Whoever gets in, we should figure out our lettuce equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think that if this thing drags on long enough that Democratic attendance will drop from 212, which might allow someone to sneak in with a lower threshold of votes. Not sure why you think Dem attendance is more likely to drop than GOP attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess because the Republicans are actually involved in making a decision, rather than just voting for Jefferies over and over and over again.

We don't use 'black gal' these days, and certainly not in this kind of context. Or any context actually. Just like we don't call women 'broads', 'birds,' etc. ~~~~~~~~~ As for the questions as to whether Santos is an actual US citizen, quite a few are looking into that now.

But by continuing to vote, Democrats get to extend the humiliation and embarrassment among Republicans. That's a powerful motivator. Also, there is that slim chance Democrats do get to be involved. And lastly, the longer this goes, the more draining and demoralizing it becomes for Republicans; making it more likely a few do throw their hands up and walk away.

Ormond Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Some of the fundraising emails I've been getting from Trump lately are now asking for donations to the Trump Defense Task Force instead of to his presidential campaign or a PAC. Can such as "Task Force" legally be part of the campaign? Or would it have to be a separate legal entity? And if it's a separate legal entity, would the laws governing donations to it be different from those regarding donating to a political campaing? Just wondering. Quote OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE OFFICE OF DONALD J. TRUMP Ck,The Democrats just don’t get it. They don’t get that when they come after Donald J. Trump that people who love freedom rally around him and our movement. It only strengthens him. What doesn’t kill President Trump only makes him stronger. Please contribute ANY AMOUNT to the Trump Defense Task Force in the NEXT 24 HOURS and claim your 1000%-IMPACT.Americans know that he pushed for 20,000 troops to prevent violence on January 6th and that he went on television and told everyone to go home. They know that the Democratic Bureau of Investigation - the DBI - are out to keep Donald J. Trump from running for President in 2024 because they know he’ll win and that this whole business of prosecuting him is just like impeachment was — a partisan attempt to sideline our movement and the Republican Party. The Fake charges made by the highly partisan Unselect Committee of January 6th have already been submitted, prosecuted, and tried in the form of Impeachment Hoax # 2. DONALD J.

Fez Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Paul Gosar officially nominated Andy Biggs as a candidate for Speaker, and Matt Fuller (journalist) noted at least 11 Republicans applauding. That would suggest 13 Republicans at minimum voting against McCarthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaston de Foix Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 McCarthy said that he expected 20 (20!) to vote against him on the first ballot according to leaks of his remarks. If he was trying to lower expectations, I suspect he was too late. If 20 do actually vote against him, I struggle to see how he can come back. What does he have left to offer to allow a face-saving flip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
