US House Adjourning till 8pm Tonight - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.39pm post the following, " House is adjourning until 8pm ET...This will give members about three and a half hours to hash things out. McCarthy could try to make deals with Republican holdouts – or bow out.  "

 Lets Get Real:

This has been a disgrace by the Republican Party, where are the elder Statesmen of the Party, and more important how come former President Trump has not done more, they are his followers, or have they gone totally rogue, the US image around the World is taking a battering by the extreme right in the Republican Party.  The Democrats will be drinking out of these past two nights for years, the extreme right is making the Squad on the Democratica side look stable, and that is saying something.   It is time for some back room deals, it has to be made clear to the 20, that when the Republicans take the Speakership that their actions will not be forgotten if they carry on this way, one can see the political adverts already for 2024, Biden will be laughing his backside off, the Republicans have to unite behind McCarthy or someone else, and it has to be done either tonight or tomorrow, the Party of Lincoln and Reagan are making the US look like a banana Republic, this has to STOP.   

Trump BACKS Kevin McCarthy for Speaker - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Trump backs Kevin McCarthy for new speaker as Republican hardliners block appointment amid chaos in US House...It is the first time in 100 years that a nominee for House speaker failed to be appointed on the first vote with the process leaving the Republicans bitterly divided, despite taking control of the House in the recent elections.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus TRUMP has spoken, the question is will the extreme right even listen to him, in the Mid Terms Trump got his candidates to be the nominee, but they LOST BIG TIME, Thus there are limits to the power of the Trump when it comes to general election, the extreme right might think they can buck Trump, as Trump might not be the nominee the next time, let's not forget his legal problems and his base in the Party is about 30% to 35%, it depends how many candidates there are for the nomination, if there are a lot the base vote that Trump has could be enough to get him the nomination.  Thus Trump must really place pressure on those holdouts in the House, he should remind them that he can get candidates to run against the in the Primaires, let's see if he has the guts to play hardball with his own followers.  Fun day ahead with new rounds for the choosing of a House Speaker.  No prediction from this blog on the outcome of this election, the freedom caucus is bonkers!

The Speaker of the House Part 2 - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " US House in chaos after Kevin McCarthy loses speaker votes  "

Lets Get Real:

The House Democrats must be having fun, seeing the Republicans tear themselves apart, they should worry also, if the Party gets a Republican Speaker, that does not mean Kevin McCarthy or it might be him,  he will have to follow the wants of the extreme right, thus a lot of Congressional investigations in to Afghanistan and Hunter Biden.  Down the road the Biden Oval will be looking at moderate Republicans who might vote with the Democrats on different parts of the Biden Agenda, and to see how they can get these Republicans to agree to go against the party will.  One hopes that after a good night's rest and some deals in smoke filled rooms, the Republican Party can nominate a Speaker who can get 218 votes.  It is always good to have oversight of the a Administration, the Democrats allowed the Biden Oval to get away with its disastrous Afghanistan policy and showed no interest in Hunter Biden.  It could be a long day, it's fun watching the sausage ( how politics really works ) as its being made.  That is why US politics is so fun, and now the Yanks cannot complain about our three PM's in a year and our mini budget.
