BTW, didn't take the Speaker Pro Tempe to start the revenge tour. First up? Kicking Democrats out of their offices in the Capitol Building.

Ironbite-McCarthy's behind this btw.
Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer evicted from private Capitol offices by interim House speaker

Florida conservatives will vote for Satan Lucifier himself if he has the R by his name, all while praising his Christ-like values and principles.
That... sounds like an "Ain't no rule that says a dog can't play basketball" technicality to me. Has anyone actually tested that idea?
FB friend:
It's the classic "be the bigger person" paradox. It sounds like a moral victory, but it doesn't actually dissuade the other guys from continuing on with their bullshit antics.
Right-wing media has the nerve to blame the House Democrats for allowing the House GOP to self-destruct:
Right-wing media would blame Democrats for onions making you cry if they could figure out how to spin it.
It has never been done.
Trump can't be Speaker by the Houses own rules. One of their rules basically says you can't be Speaker of the House if you're currently charged with a felony. Of course they'd just say it doesn't mean that or just try and change it.
It'll never happen anyway. Look how hard it was to make McCarthy Speaker.

It isn't a by-law. It is just one of the ones Kevin set at the start of the term. I have no idea if it is one they always set, but it has no teeth.
He'll never take the job because he'd have to actually stay in DC rather than flit around the country for rallies and other ego-stroking. Won't stop him from trying to play the victim over not getting it, though.
When asked it sounded pretty open to it. He said he would do whatever was needed for the country. I think he kinda likes the idea. He certainly should. If he got that job it would sure help him get the one he wants next year. And....I'm really not sure the GOP members wouldn't unite behind him enough to get the votes.
The GOP can unite behind the idea all they want: they still need SOME democrats to vote for the speaker and they will not vote for trump.
I'd vote the cancer sufferer... then demand they bootstrap themselves in to work every time they miss for a chemo treatment.
They don't need any Democrats if they all go together.
