President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Jesus Christ. Why does anyone believe McCarthy is going to live up to much or any of the deal?

Do we really believe the crazies are smart enough to spot a poison pill or loophole McCarthy could slip into the rules package?

 

Squeaker of the House?

 

Kevin "Baker's Dozen" McCarthy. BD McCarthy has a nice ring to it.

 

Since the proposed rules allow for just one member of Congress to bring up a motion of no confidence, Democrats could do this every day. No?

 

Yes, but they'd be accused of persecution and obstructionism.

No. The rules supposedly would only allow a member of the majority party t0 raise an objection.

I’m tuning in to Erin Burnett on CNN for the first time in months. Why didn’t anyone tell me she was going through a goth phase?
