Why give 15 minutes while they are all (or should) be in the chamber? That’s total BS. I don’t care if they are hungry and need to eat. Get this settled now.

Because Chicken likes order and asked for a new thread?

This one was just fine and the OP has taken a lot of time updating it.

Chicken, if we started a new thread for every round it would be ridiculous.

The "leadership" let the 1.7 trillion Omnibus bill pass without resistance or having read it. They did that spending binge at a time when the Fed is trying to drive the economy into a recession to fight inflation.

How dumb is that?

Because when mccarthy wins on the next thread, it'll be easier to delete this dissenter thread.

14 have chickened out and the last six are solid as a rock.


In 1929, when Gov. Huey Long was impeached by the Louisiana legislature, he produced a document known as the “Round Robin” signed by 15 Louisiana state senators stating that they wouldn’t vote to convict, regardless of the evidence. It was enough to save Huey.

These 6 holdouts need to sign a similar document.

Did that poster delete that photoshop trying to make it appear as if someone was shopping for little girls?

It is so ridiculous the means of which some photoshop to make their fringe fantasy appear real. It is almost like operatives and not just idiots falling for it.

What’s even better is that they give them a 15 minute clock, but will then give them a few minutes more after the clock expires to still vote.

Plus maybe knowing a dem or two won’t be back for the vote

For what? McCarthy winning; I can't control that, congress does.

I don't want McCarthy but I think he'll get it tonight.

As for Chikin removing a sticky, I am not sure why he wants it that way but I was only giving a tinfoil hat perspective of why a new thread needed to be started.

He requested it before I made any comments.

CNN asked how Kevin knows he will have the votes. Kevin supposedly replied-He did the math.
