Can someone please respond to why teabaggers are being so compliant on this debt ceiling vote? There is no way there isn't more bottom-feeding drama or ulterior motive about letting Biden have this win and it is a win.

@plutus @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 Are they ? Maybe they’re plotting now.

@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12

Plutus May 29, 2023

That's the thing there's no way McCarthy doesn't have a sense of what they are doing

Daniel Rubin ✅May 29, 2023

McCarthy will be forced out of speaker if he gave away too much

ForeignSubstance ✅May 29, 2023

@rubecube12 @plutus @johnserwach Will be interesting. He can tell the loons, "Look, I'm in your corner, but notice what we have to work with. You can force me out, but who do you think is next? Someone who thinks you're rubbish."

The people who can take him out don't have the votes to put one of theirs in.

Daniel Rubin ✅May 29, 2023

@ForeignSubstance @plutus @johnserwach

They put a motion of no confidence. Dems join. He's out. And the then they get more concessions from the next speaker. Just like what happened with Paul Ryan getting elected

John Serwach ✅May 29, 2023

@plutus @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 yeah but they have to get someone that’s electable- no one’s gonna grovel like Kevin did

Daniel Rubin ✅May 30, 2023

That's up to moderates to figure out. Nobody has the votes without their support

Daniel Rubin ✅May 30, 2023

They are just after concessions. Moderates have already said they won't make a dem backed (problem solvers) speaker

ForeignSubstance ✅May 30, 2023

@rubecube12 @plutus @johnserwach This is the type of problem that could even see an open split in the party.

I have a sneaky feelin they may start with Cleveland. Seems like an obvious target.

There are only 2 things from Cleveland Danny - steamers and dreamers, which one are you?

I can’t believe Yuk didn’t crosspost this over here or at the very least tag me!! You don’t love me anymore, do you ? 😂

@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @plutus

Total disrespect for the decorum of the house. Republicans should be ashamed

My take - I know you will disagree with me but so be it.

No voting for cuts unless majority of republicans vote for cuts. Just like TARP

Let's take the win for Biden and stop AOCing...

If you vote for cuts and republicans don't vote for cuts. It will be labeled democrat cuts and will be a nuise around Dems next election. These are good cuts. Let gops vote for them

You think dem constituents care that much - no bro

Every add. Dems voted to cut this program. Dems voted to cut that program. Need republicans to vote for cuts and then hang the cuts around republicans. Run against the cuts and say we will bring these programs back I. Reconciliation

Dragging it on will be blamed on dems more - that's how shite works - soccer moms always blame dems first

Has to pass house. Republicans have majority of house. If they can't get the votes that's on them. A la TARP

They have the votes

@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance

They have a majority of republicans?

@ForeignSubstance @plutus @johnserwach

Dems won't vote for it unless republicans vote for it

@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus dens said they wouldn’t play games and will vote for it

Stupid. Bad strategy. McCarthy gets fired then

Less entitled older people make do with what they have not youngsters who want everything

I've seen this play out before. Every advertisment will be about how Dems voted to cut these programs and how Dems are heartless

You think McCarthy is that dumb that he doesn't think by seeing this through he doesn't have the support to stay on as speaker - plz Danny plz.
Teabaggers are all show

He cares about being speaker than passing the debt ceiling by a country mile - no way in hell this hasn't already been pre-planned with everyone.

@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus

It’s over, Dan—

For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.

Short termism is never a good strategy. The easy win gets traded for the long term loss

What you are worried about are cosmetic - cuts can easily be made up by remunerating via backchannels.

@ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12

They are not cuts, they are merely not keeping pace with inflation however the inflation has passed so- it’s just an illusion—-

"I am a part of all that I have met
To [Tho] much is taken, much abides
That which we are, we are --
One equal temper of heroic hearts
Strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

The market proced in a lot more cuts than actually occured in 2021. Inflation will roar back. Fiscal impulse did not die

Plutus

You want to give KM the symbolic victory so he can get magaturds inline - it's meaningless; also gives Biden more leverage in further negotiations

KM won't be around in a month. Will be negotiating with someone else

@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance

He’s not going anywhere

Dems are going to vote for him? To remain speaker?

@ForeignSubstance @plutus @johnserwach

That's a primariable offense

If he has 150 GOP to vote for hte bill in the house he doesn't have enough support as speaker - what you smokin in Cleveland

@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach a motion to vacate the chair only requires one member. 5 good members plus all the Dems voting to vacate. Means he's out and you have a new speakers race. The same way Boehner got kicked out

@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance

GOP* not good

No need to debate Dan - Kevin McCarthy is the last person in Congress who will jeopardize his career for anything or anyone -just remember that

@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance if they opt him and can’t replace@him they lose their power. It’s a great threat but shitty in practice

@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance

They don't lose the power. Dems can't put anyone in. It would just be votes on new speakers until you 50+1. Until a Paul Ryan comes around who gives them more concessions

This isn't Germany where you need to have replacement with a majority to succeed in motion of no confidence. Just need a majority to remove. Provleded motion. Anyone can initiate.

@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @plutus

Privileged

I get it Danny you are a socialist at heart - the perpetual struggle is better than getting to a compromised solution. It's fine

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mccarthy-motion-to-vacate-rule-speaker/

The motion to vacate the chair and other provisions in House rules of the 118th Congress

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed to a demand to allow a single House member to call for a no-confidence vote in the speaker.

CBS News

McCarthy is toast

@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus

Who would give more concessions that the rest of the cays us would accept ? No one.

@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus seriously? Who would that hero be ?

@plutus @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance

This is 3-D Chess not checkers. You throw out McCarthy and you can’t get a replacement- who’s the country gonna blame? We call that “overplaying your hand”

2 republicans have already said they will do a motion to vacate. Just needs 3 more

@ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12 who cares ? Don’t you see- they literally can’t do it. There is no weaker acceptable speaker than McCarthy.

3 republicans

Don't you see-- nobody behaves rationally. Is all a bunch of crazy people telling themselves stories and making emotive noises. Banging on the table. That's all language is

GOP wants a deal so stonks will crater - marinate Danny - that's the upside for them.
Politically, it's a win for Biden.

Plutus Jun 1, 2023

Much higher dem ratio of Yea - por que? You won't answer that will you

@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus bring it!!!

People are much more than sane than you think. The Boebert/Chip Roy/MTG - have no true ideology - it's all about self-serving. Let's get a grip on reality.

If you blow your wad too soon you just look stupid. They can’t torpedo McCarthy … yet. There’s no gain there.
