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

@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 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance

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

@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance

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

@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach

@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus

McCarthy is toast

@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus

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

@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”

@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance

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

@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance

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

@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance

Everyone. Emotive noises all of it

@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance

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

@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance

They get someone who is not a milk towel who is willing to give away the farm in negotiations

@plutus @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12

Ok, give me a name who you think could get enough votes ? Just one even

@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach

We didnt have to make any cuts

@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance

There’s two problems, finding someone who wants the job with these rules etc and someone that both sides can agree on.

@ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 @plutus

Except their power is limited by Matt Goetz
