Weakest Speaker Of The House Ever ? Remains to be seen......

You would think that after that filthy crazy deranged hate speech by the stupid low IQ Hakeem Negro that he thought he was elected Speaker of the House, wouldn't you?

Weakest? Who knows?


I suppose we will have to wait and see if he tears up Biden's speech during the state of the Union address.
 
Kevin McCarthy was voted Speaker Of The House yesterday after 15 attempts. From first to 15th Vote he had to make a lot of concessions to those Republicans who would refuse to vote for him.

All of those concessions are in the House Rules which will be voted on this coming Monday.

The question is, will the Rules be voted in, or will it be voted down? Who may vote them down and why?

If voted down, will there be a need to re-negotiated? How will the process work?

Also, if Kevin McCarthy's role as Speaker is so weakened because he had to give up so much, make so many promises, what will happen in the next two years? What will be done and not done?

How will any of this will affect the running of the country?

I will be following what happens from Monday on and we will see together what will happen with that vote and then what may or may not work, and see what the consequences to each is.








We Only know that Money Bags Pelosi was THEE Most Corrupt Speaker that ever paid someone to hit her husband in the head with a gavel.

/——-/ He’s off to a running start:
 
It’s Day Two in the House of Representatives under Republican rule. On Monday, they passed a rules package that guarantees more chaos and a government shutdown.

Given the major fight the GOP had with itself over the nuclear option of House organizing—the motion to vacate the chair—it’s pretty much guaranteed that Kevin McCarthy’s hold on that gavel will be questioned. Republicans pointed out during the debate that, actually, the ability of a single member to call for a no-confidence in the Speaker has always been there, and this was no big deal, which is true as far as it goes. Until the Freedom Caucus seized on the mechanism in 2015, the motion to vacate was just sitting there, inert. Now it’s been weaponized because McCarthy allowed it to be.

They also passed a series of budget rules that will guarantee a confrontation with the Democratic Senate and White House when it comes time to raise the debt ceiling and fund the government, guaranteeing a government shutdown. They didn’t put in writing that they want to trigger a government shutdown, but they’ve made no bones that that’s what they’re itching for—that fight. And because they are so fiscally conservative, they also passed that bill to strip the IRS of the $70 billion it received last year in the big end-of-the-year funding package, a move that would add $114 billion to the deficit over the next decade.

They’re following up on Tuesday by authorizing Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan’s new McCarthy-style witch trial committee (Joe McCarthy, that is). They call it the “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government,” in which they will weaponize the House against perceived political enemies.


 
Former House General Counsel Stan Brand, who represented Trump loyalist Dan Scavino and other witnesses before the Jan. 6 committee, told Politico he had raised concerns about that committee’s proximity to ongoing criminal investigations, and “Now, the Republicans plan to take this one step further and actually overtly interfere … by investigating ‘open’ criminal cases.” He described the new committee as “a dangerous further erosion in the wall between congressional oversight and law enforcement.” Again, this is someone who represented Dan Scavino.

To put it in law-professor-ese, “[T]he committee has been given a ridiculously broad remit that, when invoked for partisan gain—as one can confidently predict—will surely lead to extensive conflict with the Justice Department and the president,” Daniel Richman, the Columbia Law professor known for having helped former FBI director James Comey leak his memos about conversations with Trump, told Politico.

[ Nothing more than throwing meat to Republican voters. When it does not happen.......will blame the Democrats. The endless cycle. Let us see how far this goes ]


Former President Donald Trump is the only president in history to have been impeached twice. The number of presidents impeached was already a small number, with only two prior to Mr. Trump. In fact, the former president doubled the number of presidential impeachments after he attempted to shake down Ukraine for dirt on President Joe Biden and incited a riot at the United States Capitol after losing the 2020 election.

Writing Thursday, Rachel Maddow producer Steve Benen wondered why Republicans would be so focused on "expunging" Trump's second impeachment if he wasn't even convicted by the Republicans in the Senate. But the reason comes from the man himself.

"Should they expunge the impeachment in the House?" Trump asked rhetorically after Republicans blocked attempts to call witnesses in the trial and voted to end it without conviction.

It's worth noting that an impeachment can't be "expunged." It's not a criminal proceeding and it's already part of the public record. Even if Republicans wanted to vote to eliminate it from the public record, their actions of eliminating it would be recorded in the public record.

Trump's impeachment was passed by Congress, and if something is passed by Congress it can't be un-passed years after the fact. They could pass something saying they don't agree with it, declare the future Congress believes it was wrong, or even pass laws that attempt to change the articles of the Constitution that regulate impeachment.

Still, far-right Republicans jumped to deliver his demands.

Oklahoma Rep. Markwayne Mullin, a Republican running for the U.S. Senate, proposed a resolution that would declare Trump's first impeachment "expunged." The bill only got eight cosponsors.

This week, Mullin introduced legislation to "expunge" Trump's second impeachment. Given that it's an election year, people were clamoring to join. The Fox network reported that more than two dozen Republicans signed on, including GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and GOP Conference Vice-Chair Mike Johnson. Stefanik was once what Benen called a relative moderate who refused to even say Trump's name. After taking a leadership position, however, that changed.

"Stefanik's justification is itself bizarre," wrote Benen. "Democrats held Trump accountable to advance their political agenda? The second impeachment was on Jan. 13, 2021 — a week before Democrats took control of both the White House and both chambers of Congress. Whether the then-president was impeached or not had literally no bearing on Democratic governing."

Secondly, Benen explained that for Stefanik to describe the second impeachment as a purely partisan exercise is factually inaccurate and inconsistent with the congressional record she hopes to "expunge."

Ten House Republicans supported the impeachment, making it the most bipartisan impeachment in American history. What's more, seven Senate Republicans voted in favor of convicting him.

Benen closed by noting that in a Democratic-led House it's hard to see a bill like this ever passing, but if the GOP takes over, it could become a top priority in their agenda.
