Now that this debt ceiling agreement has passed, can Gaetz get McCarthy removed as SOH?

This debt ceiling (and some of the individual concessions within the agreement) directly violate the promises KM made to Gaetz, et al in the negotiations for SOH. The hammer Gaetz negotiated was an easy procedural removal process, so now, questions are raised:

1. Will Gaetz (or someone in his Patriot coalition) file to remove KM as SOH?

2. Can that coalition get the support to remove KM as SOH?

3. If that coalition is unwilling to remove KM, what are the long-term effects?

4. If the coalition is willing, but unable, to remove KM, what are the long-term effects?

I know Gaetz got McCarthy's nuts in a vice on paper, but if he can't come through with replacing KM then his whole coalition may be dead within a year. This would show the lack of power they have and may neuter them to even further fringes of the Congressional power structure.

You said the America First wing of the party was dead. Now, you want it to lead an effort to remove the establishment Speaker?

If Gaetz can't get KM removed, it kind of is.

Heard that Bannon is endorsing Lumer to primary MTG: Loomer is moving into MTG's District. That will be interesting.

I don't love McCarthy but I dont think he's done that bad of a job. If we remove the speaker now, how much momentum do we lose going into 2024?

In terms of an actual race it won't be remotely interesting. Loomer is a certifiable nutjob that won't get close to getting elected

The groomer still thinks they're working for us.

Everyone knew how this would end up and, nothing will change.

On going theater.

Can't wait to hear Loomer's conspiracy theories as to why she lost another one in embarrassing fashion

This was NOT the sentiment when Gaetz hijacked the SOH process. What changed?

He has to go through Jordan. If he can get him on board then McCarthy is gone, otherwise he’ll need to be a menace to McCarthy.. it’s a dangerous game for both but if Gaetz wants to make his move.. the next couple weeks are the time


McCarthy broke his public word to this group and the press is going to award this win to Biden so I just don’t see how mccarthy can lead a collective of groups affectively anymore.. he chose the weak path.

Interestingly enough, the exact same thing was said about MTG.

Have you ever heard of a sliding scale?

MTG is an idiot more than a nutjob, but she played up to her Patriot base with some craziness, especially at first, and she wasn't smart enough to know the right buttons. This made her look more crazy than stupid, but the reality is it's stupidity and parroting crazy people more than being actually crazy. She has gotten better, so she's still an idiot but is less embarrassing (also is less embraced by Patriots, accordingly).

Loomer is smart but actually crazy. TOTALLY different ballgame.

What?

You think typing out a thread on here calling Biden Brandon and having a good melt will do something?

This is a political discussion forum. I'm trying to have an actual discussion about politics.
