US Politics

Only 6 no votes remaining. I suspect the pro-McCarthy forces should be able to peel about 3 or 4 of them off with enough concessions, one of which may include a button to make McCarthy self-immolate on command.
 
With lunatics in power, what are the chances of US defaulting? Which will make the 2008 economical crisis look like a kids game in comparison.

Although at the same time, it would be nice if the US finally starts caring about its public debt.

I'm fairly sure you wouldn't like it if it did, look at history for a German example and what it led to
 
Gaetz is gonna be busy with his 1 man motions, he hates McCarthy's guts and you just know he'll do it
 
There are things on that list that are great ideas in principle, but there is no doubt on my mind that they are the ultimate in wolves in sheep’s clothing.
 
What are the elephants?
Funding the government and raising the debt ceiling. The house controls the purse strings so they control those votes. The HFC has already promised to use both as hostages to slash social security and Medicare.

Thought they were bigger than 8 billion
 
If they cave (now, tomorrow, whenever) they will have still made the Speaker public ally beg, on camera. Those two feckwits have out Trumped their political sire.
