Top U.S. House Republican Kevin McCarthy could face an untimely end to his role as speaker if party hardliners oust him, for averting a costly government shutdown on Saturday with a stopgap bill that drew more support from Democrats than Republicans.
Because dumbass allowed it to be codified in the the session’s rules that he could face a vote of no confidence or whatever it’s called from one person.
Basically, McCarthy is a chancellor Vellorum- except he was never as well-meaning
Oh, McCarthy is awful, sure, and that agreement definitely creates the mechanism. But the fact that the button that launches the process is going to get pushed because the Speaker did his job instead of refusing to is mind-boggling.
well, we all knew it would come to this. We all knew it would happen, because they’re a bunch of toddlers who have zero conception of just how awful they are; or the lives they’re destorying with their sheer idiocy.
Which, the mind boggling part is… why would you give them that power? Like. they’re too stupid not to use it.
It’s the old chicken and egg thing, but with dumbness.
