Lol. That’s rich, coming from a speaker who presided over two shutdowns and is widely panned as the cause of the shitty performance of the Rs in the 1998 midterms. We should definitely listen to someone like him in times like now.

So you’re super concerned about the effects on competitive 2024 races of the optics/fallout of McCarthy being ousted, but you 100% support replacing him with one of the most divisive and controversial politicians in the nation’s history?

Any big move in politics has “risk.” You haven’t identified a single variable or how it will be affected.

Until they understand this, there is no future.
The so-called RINOs are the ones setting policy for the party, not the conservative voters.
They stole the party from you and turned it into Dem-lite.
The chance of actual conservatives taking back control of the Republican party is essentially zero.

Vacating the speaker in this manner has literally never happened before - so yes, big move.

Yes, it’s impossible to analyze in any meaningful way, because there are way too many endogenous and confounding variables. And that’s before we even get to “what happens next and why” as a result. Which literally nobody knows or can predict.

When Gaetz delivers an omnibus, or a much worse budgeting outcome than an 8% total spending cut, what are you going to say? That he was betrayed? Because the 8% spending cut had the votes to pass had it not been for Gaetz and his cabal.

Time for Matt Gaetz to show he can deliver better results. No excuses. The baseline is an 8% total federal spending cut. Not a soul can say it can't pass. It would've passed fine had Gaetz and his group voted for it. Oh, it will shutdown the government you say? THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT HE'S MAD AT MCCARTHY FOR NOT DOING.

Either Gaetz delivers a better outcome than the 8% spending cut or he should resign in disgrace. But he won't. Because it was never about the issues or principles. It was about the flashing cameras and news hits.

I know you think your little talking point (already attempted by several posters) is cute but it was an actual 8% cut from last year's fiscal budget. Yes, an actual reduction in dollars spent.

What if the only way to stop the madness is dysfunction?  It's certainly not doing the same exact thing since Reagan and expecting something different all the while watching the same results play out right in front of your eyes, right?

They'll like us if we don't make waves amirite????? NO! They fucking hate you dude.  No amount of appeasing will suffice.  You acquiesce to their demands, but they don't offer you something in return...they push their agenda even further and expect you to keep making compromises.  We cannot keep compromising our country away.  It doesn't work.

It's a hideaway office off the House floor. Former Speakers have always been given one. It's not the actual office for the active Speaker.

Do people seriously believe this kind of stuff? That McCarthy and the GOP would be scared to actually make Pelosi move out of the Speaker's office after her party lost control?
