The big brain move here is to elect Donald Trump as the new Speaker and impeach their way to the oval office.
holy shit I hope that's the finale of this season of Politics: the Politicking
Death to America
Please God let this happen. No House Rep can dare vote no to Trump.
Genuinely curious to see who they find as a replacement. GOP House Speaker is an absolutely thankless gig and I can't imagine anyone with a lick of sense is lining up for the position.
Perhaps some swaggering glory-hound grifter who really doesn't care about getting anything actually done.
Fortunately there's none of those types around!
Gaetz should do it. He represents core GOP values as well as those of the establishment Democrats.
Patrick McHenry is speaker pro tempore until someone pushes for an election of speaker
But they literally can't do anything but vote for speakers until a speaker is elected by majority vote.
Actually not true until a speaker election is called for because there is a speaker pro tempore
as long as he doesn't shake hands with the speaker anti tempore and cause a massive explosion, things should be fine
Is Gaetz still getting investigated for pedo shit or did that sort of just fall off?
It just sorta fell off
Who could have possibly anticipated that?

So what're the dems hoping to get out of this? Besides yet another way to do nothing I mean
Surely the Democratic party isn't still running the same play they did in 2016 and hoping to boost their numbers by pushing the Republicans further right. Obviously that was bad, so they would never do that again right
It is a pretty funny bit to plead for 'respectable' republicans and then help the right fringe of the republicans depose someone for compromising.
