Well dang..it would appear that the wheels are coming off the GOP bus. Where's the impeachment? Any impeachment, right?
It would appear, that once again, the Repubs would rather fight with themselves..while the Left consolidates its gains and looks to 2024...while licking their chops~
The U.S. House of Representatives was paralyzed for a second day on Wednesday as Speaker Kevin McCarthy struggled to quell a revolt by hardline Republicans, raising questions about the party's ability to advance its agenda in Washington.
McCarthy said he felt "blindsided" after a group of conservatives derailed their own party's effort to block new environmental regulations on household gas stoves but predicted the two sides would resolve their differences.
"We'll work through this, and we'll even be stronger," he told reporters.
But the chamber remained in a holding pattern, as Republican McCarthy's leadership team scheduled and then canceled another attempt to advance the legislation.
The hardliners have vowed to use "procedural tools" to slow legislation until McCarthy agrees to their terms, raising questions about whether McCarthy was at risk of losing his post.
Those hardliners were among the House Republicans who opposed McCarthy's election as speaker in January until he agreed to concessions that make it easy to challenge his leadership.
They were also among the 71 Republicans who opposed the compromise debt ceiling legislation passed last week. They maintain that McCarthy and his leadership team did not cut spending deeply enough, ignored their input and retaliated against at least one of their members.
