The Motion to Vacate the Office of Speaker passed 216 to 210 to. Kevin McCarthy has been ousted as speaker.
More than a 100 years ago, Speaker Joseph Gurney Cannon, R-Ill., essentially dared the House to vote to vacate the chair, but he survived the vote.
Today, 8 Republicans joined Democrats to remove the House Speaker for the first time in U.S. history.
It's history.
1) If McCarthy acted on political weaponization, perhaps Trump wouldn't have been too busy, too unwilling to save him.
2) McCarthy and McConnell sabotaged MAGA in 2022 to avoid this very outcome.
Many trash Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., to avoid discussing the real cause of dysfunction.
Republicans have a representation problem, i.e. they have none. They lie to get elected and ostracize anyone trying to keep promises.
No political party can survive NOT representing their voters.
Republican leadership and the vast majority of the elected conference in both chambers lie to get elected, then cave in the face of opposition from media and Democrats, while selling out their voters to donors and rent-seekers.
It's not a sustainable political environment.
All these years polling party leadership, it has always been the case that Democrats like their leaders and have favorable opinions of them, while Republicans HATE their leaders.
Why, irrationality?
No, it's rational to loathe someone who constantly lies to and betrays you.
FYI I'm simply stating the facts, not arguing for/against the motion.
The obvious remedy is for voters to elect people who represent them. And they try, scoring massive primary victories in 2022.
Then, McCarthy and McConnell sabotaged them for this reason.
So, now we're here.
I feel like tearing off my clothes and dancing in the rain (snow on Tuesday). Ofc I'm entirely too old to do that. But...
We were SO right.

The Babylon Bee - Pelosi Vehemently Denies Insider Trading, Says Her Husband Takes Care Of All That:

Earlier this year these pundits said Trump would not change from the path that Biden was taking us on towards WW3. I genuinely believed that Trump and his team were different and that they would push back against the neocons, so much that I had stopped watching this channel. It appears that they have been correct and I was wrong... I am still striving to help avoid WW3 because I have family inside Ukraine and I do not see any way that WW3 does not go nuclear.
I want Americans in America to live as free men, I do not want us to maintain an empire that enslaves other nations and compels them to live by our values! I know that nuclear war will not kill all of mankind but it could easily put us back into the dark ages cycle that followed the collapse of the Roman empire. I prefer a loss of face to a genocidal destruction of vast parts of the earths surface.
Is that really pessimistic, or is that hopeful?
I see it as hopeful that maybe my voice can make a difference and avert the tragedy...
Kennedy's out there doing gods work.

I wonder sometimes if Trump likes getting his ass kicked nationally and worldwide🤔
He COULD have this success too!!
Watching people attempt to "unskew" polls conducted by all walks of this industry—ranging from Nate Cohn at The New York Times to Spencer Kimball at Emerson College to Tim Malloy at Quinnipiac—all to deny Donald Trump's gains against Joe Biden with various voting blocs, is more than a little sad.
The slew of recent polls over two weeks—to include no less than four today alone—have simply confirmed prior findings published from other pollsters who have previously been "unskewed". That includes your's truly and our work at BIG DATA POLL, Mark Penn at Harvard University, Patrick Ruffini at Echelon Insights, and many others.
I'm temped to equate this with an Occam's razor-like situation. But this debate is more about likelihood than simplicity.
Here's the Presidential Vote Preference Trend for Biden v. Trump going back to August 2020. The Public Polling Project did not begin asking the Rematch Question for 2024 until September 2021. However, we can still make some pretty important and interesting observations.
