The bid to oust the House Speaker starts - 2024 Candidate/General Election - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports "  Matt Gaetz introduces motion to oust Kevin McCarthy as House speaker....Far-right congressman files motion after expressing outrage at speaker’s bipartisan effort to avoid government shutdown  "

Lets Get Real:

This is all about Matt Gaetz wanting to get rid of the Speaker, because they do not like each other, its personal.   Matt Gaetz did state that he was worried about the national debt, he has a point, but everyone knows its personal hatred, there for he has only a few supporters, but all he needs is 5 members of the Republican majority to support him, then the Speaker it out, as long as Democrats support the motion, will they sit on their ands or save the Speaker because of the Ukraine.  politics at this micro level in fun, no one can be trusted!! 

Update:  

The Speaker was ousted , the first time in history, 8 of fellow Republicans voted against him and the Democrats took short term pleasure in getting rid of the Speaker, the results is that the House is on pause, and Former Speaker Pelosi has lost her private office.  One of the candidates to replace McCarthy has already said that he opposes further funding for the Ukraine.  As Spiderman says, with great power comes responsibility, the Democrats would have been better off with a weakened Speaker in debt to the Democrats.  Thus the Democrats and Republicans have failed at basic politics. 




Will the US House pass funding for the Ukraine ? - 2024 Candidate /General Election 2024

Sky News - Live blog: Reports in its 11pm post the following, " 

Biden 'fully expects' renewed Ukraine funding

"

Lets Get Real:

One can see an outline of a DEAL, POTUS get his funding, but the Democrats do not help the right wing of the Republican Party get rid of the Speaker, and the deal should include border protection, that might be a hard thing for the left to agree too.  Biden is an old hand at making DEALS, lets  see how the sausage is made on the Hill.   Biden must be aware that funding could be an issue in 2024, he has to stress it through 2024, its about Democracy and defeating Putin in the Ukraine and preventing WW3 over Poland and the Baltic States.  Also Biden needs to get his polls up, otherwise he could lose to Trump, that would be massive disaster to the US and Western Europe.  Its late for the Biden Campaign to get its adverts out, Putin might try to help Trump, by stating he would agree peace terms with Trump in the White House, that might find favour with the US voters.

Trump in COURT TOAY - 2024 Candidate/General Election 2024 - Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

Of all the Courts that Trump faces, its this civil trial that gets to him, his image is his money and the success he has had in business.  The prospect of jail time does not seem to unnerve him much, that will never happen, the job of the Secret Service ,is to protect the President and the former President for up to 10 years.  The Secret Service could never allow Trump to be taken to a prison, that would make him a martyr on the right wing of the Republican Party, and the Democrats would pay a heavy price, there in no Gerald Ford in the White House who could  stop these Federal Trials with a stroke of his pen.  The 2024 match up looks like is it on, in less one of the Republican candidates can take Iowa or New Hampshire in 2024.  Trump would a disaster in a 2nd Term, in less US voters want to put two fingers up to the press and the liberal elite, it could happen.
