Scalise Withdraws From House Speaker Race

[Independentthinker]

None of them were thrown out of the party. Hell, Manchin still is a democrat.

Who was the last Dem to get the Liz Cheney treatment?

I'm not sure what the Liz Cheney treatment is. She was a Republican, ran for re-election and lost.

4 Democratic centrists to McHenry: Let's make a deal​

Four top centrist Democrats on Friday sent a pitch to Acting Speaker Patrick McHenry: Let’s get the House working again.

In a letter to McHenry that was obtained by POLITICO, Democrats told him they support giving him “temporary, expanded authorities” that would allow the House to take up the most urgent bills — namely, government funding plans.
Specifically, the Democrats are proposing to let McHenry bring up any emergency aid for Ukraine or Israel, a short-term bill that extends government funding through Jan. 11, or general consideration of fiscal 2024 spending bills. Those powers should be limited to 15-day increments, they proposed, with extensions possible if the House GOP continues to remain without a leader.

In exchange, the Democratic quartet suggested, their party would be allowed to fill up 50 percent of the House's suspension calendar — which is reserved for noncontroversial bills and requires two-thirds votes for passage, not simple majorities.

When the Democrats "govern" the people throw them out.

When Democrats govern, they actually get things done that help the American people.

hahaha… Anytime a fucked in the head Leftist says somebody sucks we know they are perfect for the job. Thanks for the affirmation.

Given that most leftists aren't "fucked in the head", your comment is laughable.

he was shot by a LW lunatic. He goes to the phony inauguration of the Corpse with Donna Lefyist Marxist Brazille. After the massive 2020 Election Fraud. Is that really the best they got? Another turncoat Mike Pence POS?

THERE WAS NO MASSIVE ELECTION FRAUD IN 2020. TRUMP LOST BECAUSE NOBODY WANTED HIM AS PRESIDENT THEN, OR NOW.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., has withdrawn from the House speaker race after he failed to unite the Republican conference around his candidacy.

"I just shared with my colleagues that I'm withdrawing my name as a candidate for the speaker designate," the Louisiana Republican told reporters on Thursday night, just one day after he narrowly won the support of his conference over Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the Trump-endorsed pick for speaker and the House Judiciary Committee.

But as the hours wore on, it became clearer and clearer that Scalise could not win over his detractors. At least 19 House Republicans opposed his candidacy as of Thursday evening, according to a Spectrum News tally.

"Our conference still has to come together and is not there," he added. "There are still some people that have their own agendas, and I was very clear we have to have everybody put their agendas on the side and focus on what this country needs.”

"This House of Representatives needs a speaker and we need to open up the house again," he said. "But clearly, not everybody is there. And they're still schisms, that has to get resolved."

Scalise has been the No. 2-ranking House Republican since 2019 and part of Republican House leadership since 2014. The Louisiana Republican, who turned 58 last week, was nearly killed in 2017 when a left-wing extremist opened fire on lawmakers during a practice for the annual congressional baseball game, wounding Scalise and three others.

This is a developing story. Check back later for updates.

Well, that's a fine mess! What will they do now? What do you think?

Time for Hakeem the Dream. It would only take a few sane Republicans. Are there none left?

That is just a flat out lie. She ran for office for the Republican party. She lost.

The less the DC coxuckers do the less they can fuck-up.
I'm looking forward to the US government shutting down.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

We'll see who blinks first...

There won’t be any blinking. The hateful 8 will just be neutered with a bipartisan deal.

What will you have won?

1 The only insurrection we had was in 1776
2. The new Speaker won't be a part of "The DC Swamp"
3. The Constitution won't be fucked with.
4. What "kids"? Adult fully grown men college wrestlers dumbass. That democrat lie won't wash. Pedo Biden is your perv.
5. There is no "white supremacy". Maybe you're thinking about the democrat's KKK?
6. Neo-Nazis? Isn't that a Ukrainian thing?
7. Trump gave more funding to black colleges than Obama
8. Tax cuts are a bad idea, agreed
9. Jim Jordan will be a great Speaker.

Sadly , # 8 is all that Republicans really care about

Just imagine what would happen without all the gerrymandering. Dems consistently get more votes than the Republicans.

It's not just because of that.

 

[pknopp]

Adults don’t throw tantrums, take hostages or deliberately look to harm Americans.
They scream for cuts but offer no actual fixes to spending.

Adults pay their debts.

 

[pknopp]

Nonsense.

Republicans are wrong as how to address debt and they behave like spoiled children.

There are a small number holding this up over the debt. I never argued that "Republicans know how to address the debt".

 

[kyzr]

Proved that the budget cutters need to listened o.
Business as usual is over.
Its time for very hard decisions.

Weird how that works huh… It’s a pretty simple model…Recruit 40 million desperate thirdworld cockroaches from a neighboring country and promise to give a bunch of free shit compliments of evil whitey and TA-DA…you win elections.
Just think, if the Mexicrats would’ve sold out America back in the 80s, they could have owned, Mexifornia, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and most of Texas way back then…they would have had us totally destroyed by now had they rolled out the great replacement 45 years ago.
That would have been so cool, huh?

Gerrymandering is a pretty simple model that desperately seeks to address the fatal demographic death spiral that pretty much ensures the end of white supremacy in America. It however, is only a short term solution as it becomes increasingly untenable with time.

All the dopey narratives you can muster cannot stop the inevitable.

Yeah, Jordan has done a bang up job of failing to find a shred of evidence of Joe Biden's corruption, harassing states' DA's and AG's over their prosecution of Donald Trump, all while dodging subpoenas for testimony about his part in January 6th, and what he talked to Trump about.

That's while ignoring the budget, the border, and all of the other issues that Americans REALLY do care about. Republicans keep acting like petulant children in service to the petulant criminal who wants to run for President against Barrack Hussein Obama again because he's already beaten Barrack Hussein Obama 3 times.
