    Okay, fine, I agree to your demands. We’ll change the rules. No spending without a comprehensive budget and everyone will have 72 hours to review it before the vote. Now will you let me be Speaker?

    – – – three months later – – –

    Mr. Speaker, point of procedural process.

    The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.

    Motion to suspend the rules and pass a continuing resolution to keep the government afloat for another six months, on a voice vote, right now.

    All in favor say Aye. Passed.

    – – – later, in the cloakroom – – –

    What are you whining about? You got exactly what you demanded. It’s not my fault things didn’t work as you expected. You ***ed up. You trusted me.

    and the band played on

    During the 2016 Republican convention where they nominated Trump, one of the TV pundits said: “This is where the Republican party goes to die.” It’s taking a while, but it does seem to be happening.

    Has anyone tried switching the GOP off and then on again?

    When one removes internationalism from the Republican party, nihilism is what is left over. The problem is that George W. Bush and his administration of foreign policy incompetents destroyed internationalism as one of the pillars of the 21st century Republican party. That’s what the 2010 Tea Party election was about. The Republican base today is a mixture of the insular and the isolationist with a race-centric view of its nationali@lism.

    Another pillar of the 20th century Republican party was business leadership from the multinational business community, one of the most cosmopolitan groups ever in America. But the Republican base is estranged from cosmopolitanism. The base simply does not listen to business the way it used to (if it ever really did).

    The next paradigm might be very Californian. A marginalized Republican party unable to gain power and a Democratic party mediating political power between its moderate and liberal wings with the balance of power residing in the suburbs. The Democrats recreate the Blue Wall, mostly in the Middle West but elsewhere, and the paradigm will be in place.

    10/10 we could find all of it, if we cared to waste the time to look.

    What a fucking colossal buffoon! 🤡 lmao

    The most humorous part of rAT’s plagiarization, for me is, 90% of the nitwits he’s stealing from would block every response that mocked their buffonery…rAT just moves along to the next pratfall because after all, we’re mocking some other nitwit, not him.

    He’s too stupid to realize we’re laughing because he thought it was witty, or intelligent, not because we thought he wrote it.

    If anyone wanted to know what the GOP would look like after Trump — it’s on display in Congress.

    Ha! Bot Boy, once again, you continually show your blatant ignorance of what the processes of our government. This is not the first time so many votes were required, dumb ass. In 1923, there were over 100. I know that you won’t acknowledge that Nancy Piglosi gave away the store and bribes to get the speakership for her last term. Now, pound sand, loser.

    I don’t know where Emery plagiarized his comment from, but it is odd that so many liberals & dems want to make the GOP extinct. Somehow they look at California as the model state, and not Florida or Texas.
    The GOP continues to dominate state politics: https://ballotpedia.org/Partisan_composition_of_state_legislatures
    This is important because state & local politics is far more politically representative than the federal government is. The feds are far less responsive to voter pressure than local and state politicians.
    A lot of progressives are convinced that the federal government is the only level of government that matters. This is not true constitutionally, tho lately the feds have been acting as though the states are subject to federal to federal legal oversight the way that cities and counties are subject to state oversight.

    UMMP, the degenerates have set mail in fraud in stone at the federal level in most shit hole states. But as you say, at the local level, they have no power. They k ow this, and are already unrolling the fix.

    Expect a full court press for “ranked choice” (keep recounting until the reprobate wins) fraud to be adopted everywhere. They cannot do it from DC, but they will send their diseased troops out everywhere. They will attack Conservative®️ Patriots™️ with their own delusional belief that Democracy©️ still exists in Weimerica, and its their duty to protect it.

    No, it wasn’t. The Tea Party was about middle-class Americans, comprised of Republicans, Independents, and even some Democrats, who balked at President Obama’s domestic policies that “bailed out” irresponsible mortgage holders. Rick Santelli’s “Rant Heard Round the World” was just the spark. Both Bush and Clinton allowed compassion to trump common sense when it came to putting government’s pudgy thumb on the scales of mortgage lending and bailing out financial institutions, and Obama continued and expanded the practice. People were fed up, and they made their voices heard in the ballot box and town halls.

    There, corrected your initial, false premise, Emery. As for the rest of your diatribe, I respect your right to have uninformed opinions as to the makeup of the base of the Republican party, as well as your right to indulge in your fevered wet dream of essentially a one-party government. Everyone knows how well those work out historically. But lest you forget, pendulums swing both ways.

    Well, another one of my predictions has come true. The Dems Trump hate is so all consuming that they are getting hoisted on their own petard, re: the Trump “classified documents” fiasco.
    This also, BTW, tends to prove my point about Garland’s lying about making an “independent” decision to approve the Mara Lago raid. Garland knew that Obama and Biden had taken tens of thousands of documents from the White House when they left office to form the core of their “presidential libraries.” Garland knew that there was a significant chance that classified documents were taken, deliberately or by accident. If He did not know this, Garland is incompetent.
    So the approval to raid Mara Lago would come from a political actor outside the JD. No way would Garland make that decision w/o Biden’s approval.
