CableZL 09/26/23 2:19:01 PM #1:	The government is set to shut down in about 5 days or so. House republicans can't even get enough votes to debate a defense spending bill. The only way House republicans can even put forward a bill that will pass in the Senate and get signed by the president is to work with House democrats. If Kevin McCarthy works with House democrats, then the MAGA caucus will motion to remove him as speaker. House republicans are going to start their impeachment inquiry later this week even though multiple house Republicans are admitting they have no evidence to support it. House republicans don't have the votes to impeach Joe Biden, either.

Block_that_Kick 09/26/23 2:21:52 PM #5:	I saw that hes trying to concede as much as he can and make the funding bill a wet dream of spending cuts. Too bad for him he still wont get enough votes to pass because enough Republicans are following Trumps orders to shut it down and try to blame Biden for it. --- The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off. <cite>Block_that_Kick posted [p:976318631] in Kevin McCa...

brestugo 09/26/23 2:33:07 PM #11:	Not that I have any sympathy for McCarthy, but it was a sucker's bet to seek the Speakership anyway. Better odds of winning 3 card monte. A significant number of the House GOP wanted to shut everything down before there was ever anything on the table. You can't avoid a quarrel with people looking to quarrel. Looks like Gaetz is angling for the job next. We'll see what happens. --- Putin delenda est <cite>brestugo posted [p:976318800] in Kevin McCa...

Obama's biggest weakness was not having that mentality and trying to work with Republicans to bail them out of their own self-afflicted issues. I dont know how you can put any other way. It would be one thing if the GOP led House could pass a really shitty bill, cause they could make the claim that the Dem led Senate wont cooperate.
