Unfortunately, going Libertarian just means a wasted vote

You can be a libertarian hold out and get what you want

As much as I don't like Pelosi, she never got caught with her pants down the way McCarthy and the R's did. And that's dealing with the lunatic left fringe. For all the things you can levy against her, being bad at her job as speaker was not one of them. -

Because there isn't as much dissention in the Rat party as there is in the GOP. Pelosi doesn't disagree with the squad on anything. The squad are just commies in a hurry and Pelosi thinks they should go a little slower. She gave them everything they wanted. I've never said Pelosi was bad at her job. But her job was to spend other people's money in order to reward their voters. There's no one in the Rat party who doesn't already agree with that position. Makes the job a lot easier.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Curious as to who you think is at fault here. Was it McCarthy for not caving sooner or Gaetz et al for forcing the issue and getting what they wanted? To me it’s hard to blame someone for using the only leverage they have.BleachedAnusDawg said:

I don't believe that McCarthy will do shit but still. I also don't see the lock step democrat way as something to emulate either

What I am getting out of this thread
1 - Is anyone happy about McCarthy?
2 - Is he going after the swamp, investigating the Afghan withdrawal and the FBI?
if 1-, then no one will expect anything to happen one way or the other
if 2-, then absolutely nothing will happen, similar to 1- above
Result - Dems win big -
McCarthy IS THE SWAMP

Passing a 1.7 trillion omnibus that nobody had time to even read. Now that’s competence -
Whatever the GOP does is reported as being inept or fascist or racist

It was the usual corporate RINO fake meltdown. I'm embarrassed it took me three minutes to figure it out. Should have known better.

It would have been better if it was maybe 5 votes instead of 15, but if the deal that ive geard was carved out is accurate, it's a good thing, no matter how many votes it takes.SFGbob said:

A speaker was chosen and Pelosi's tyrannical rules for presiding over the House are about to modified.
Debate and deliberation works in the people's favor.

15 votes. The man who is speaker and supposed to know the vote count couldn't figure his own party out for the first 14 votes. I'm sure he'll be a great speaker, though.PurpleThrobber said:

Disagree. I called out AOC for getting in line and not demanding GND or Medicare for all in exchange for voting for Nancy. There is zero reason to not to use your leverage when it actually matters and expires.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Kevin tried Nancy’s strategy, he got his bluff called. The whole thing says more about AOC vs Gaetz and who has the balls and who doesn’t.BleachedAnusDawg said:
