Just One Thought… For The Open Of 2023…

The GOP (under Tangerine/MAGA thrall) has become a farce. Here (below) is proof-positive.

That’s “the open of 2023″ thought.

In trying to secure the Speaker of the House seat for himself, Kevin McCarthy (R., CA) now says he will support the Gaetz measure.

That is, the Speaker now (and the GOP, overall) agrees that the motion of any ONE Rep. may logjam the entire House, on ideological or retributive grounds — and seek a removal of the sitting Speaker.

This rule change will — in the future — allow a man like Gaetz, or a woman like MTG or Boebert to stop even a 286-to-1 bill from advancing to the Senate (even if it is 99-1 in favor at the Senate as well). . . while the one MAGA member extracts his/her tributes and payoffs, from the GOP leadership.

This transforms the House into a series of individual mini-presidents, with a solely “rules-created” veto power. These would-be mini-despots need not even be the majority, or ranking member — of any committee.

That is. . . insane.

Rule — by the gate-keeping of Boebert / MTG veto power? Yikes.
