Topic	Matt Gaetz to attempt to oust Speaker McCarthy this week
UnsteadyOwl 10/03/23 2:18:41 PM #126:	aarrgus posted... The Democrats need to find the few house Republicans that aren't insane and make a deal to pick an outsider to be a non partisan, consensus steward as speaker. One that won't play stupid games, bring things up for a vote consistently, no stonewalling or fucking with everything. At least until the budget is passed. It's better than anything that the lunatic Republicans want, it could actually get shit done, and means that maybe there will be useful governance until the Dems retake the house and put in a competent partisan. The Republicans have the majority in the House. It's not on the Democrats to fix their mess for them. If McCarthy or some other Republican wants to make a deal with Democrats for the speakership they can try it but they better have something good to offer. Otherwise, the Democrats don't need to do anything but vote Jeffries and watch the Republican clown show play out. --- "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." <cite>UnsteadyOwl posted [p:976452480] in Matt Gaetz...
