Guess he got tossed over the rope, end of the royal rumble.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Good. There shouldn't be another speaker, hopefully ever. Gaetz unironically pulled off the best outcome by accident.

The right seems detached from reality dumping McCarthy when they didn't have the votes to get what they want. McCarthy was evidence that a compromise they didn't really like was necessary.
Do they even count votes before hand, because if they did it would take one ballot. The right keeps playing a game of chicken trying to shut down the government, but the result is always the same; the public supports the Dems and moderates on this issue, and the right is forced to back down.

I think the GOP is happy with the dysfunction in the House. It's probably a rush to them. This is how authoritarianism starts. Dismantling of the establishment. The public doesn't support them by-and-large in total count, but gerrymandering is allowing the GOP to exploit that, as you know.

I think they're trying to figure out a way to not do shit without being blamed for it. A shutdown falls squarely on Republicans, because they've triggered every single one since...at least Obama.
By not having a speaker, the house doesn't do shit, and they've been trying to blame the removal of McCarthy on democrats for a while. Which is rock fucking dumb, but, it works on the uninterested.
I wonder what will happen with the next shutdown. I'm leaning towards one happening...what, we got three weeks left?

Since we all agree that their shutdown the government strategy won't work now, it seems like they're doing some near millennial notion forecasting of an increasing Trump-like future.
Anything's possible, but it's unlikely. What's left of the normal Republicans in congress are anguished but too outnumbered. Traditional conservatives do have a lot of financial backing and desire to normalize their side. It will be interesting to see how the future unfolds.
The Dems should have current advantage but the right (post Trump and purge the crazies) could get it together better than the Dems too big a tent for factory workers and the woke. In the short term the Dems probably need lingering Trumpism to agree on what they're against cause they can't agree on what they're for.

I don't think the shutdown strategy won't work. I think they're just trying to add a layer of abstraction by having it be a shutdown due to a lack of speaker, as opposed to a lack of legislation.
Choppy's assertion that lack of speaker is good because it prevents the government from functioning is an assertion I have heard before. That is, unironically, a mainstream gop opinion.

Yup.
That was a plan also floated by the moderates--give the acting speaker power to do speaker shit.
