That's up to moderates to figure out. Nobody has the votes without their support
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
They are just after concessions. Moderates have already said they won't make a dem backed (problem solvers) speaker
ForeignSubstance ✅@rubecube12 @plutus @johnserwach This is the type of problem that could even see an open split in the party.

“Peter Thiel was incredibly weird with me when I was at Stripe in 2012 I asked him an interesting set of questions about PayPal & he guided the conversation to totally different areas I was 23 years old & just wanted to learn from him People told me afterwards what he wanted”
@plutus @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance so, just spitballing here- how many years until a terrorist group successfully launches a drone strike on a U.S. City ?
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
I have a sneaky feelin they may start with Cleveland. Seems like an obvious target.
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
There are only 2 things from Cleveland Danny - steamers and dreamers, which one are you?

@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance
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
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
My take - I know you will disagree with me but so be it.
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus
No voting for cuts unless majority of republicans vote for cuts. Just like TARP
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Let's take the win for Biden and stop AOCing...
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus
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
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
You think dem constituents care that much - no bro
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
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
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Dragging it on will be blamed on dems more - that's how shite works - soccer moms always blame dems first
@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Has to pass house. Republicans have majority of house. If they can't get the votes that's on them. A la TARP
@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance
They have a majority of republicans?
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @johnserwach
Dems won't vote for it unless republicans vote for it
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus
Stupid. Bad strategy. McCarthy gets fired then
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Less entitled older people make do with what they have not youngsters who want everything
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
I've seen this play out before. Every advertisment will be about how Dems voted to cut these programs and how Dems are heartless
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
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
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
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.
@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Short termism is never a good strategy. The easy win gets traded for the long term loss
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
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."
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus
The market proced in a lot more cuts than actually occured in 2021. Inflation will roar back. Fiscal impulse did not die
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
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
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
KM won't be around in a month. Will be negotiating with someone else
@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance
He’s not going anywhere
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Dems are going to vote for him? To remain speaker?
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
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
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
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
