January 4, 20233 yr 5 hours ago, Toastrel said: The tension between leading the House and leading the GOP caucus has been developing since Rep. Newt Gingrich of Georgia led the Republican Revolution during the 1994 midterms. That year, the GOP reclaimed a House majority for the first time since 1955. Since then, Gingrich and three other Republicans have served as speaker. All but one were forced from the position thanks to rebellions in their ranks.

No government shutdown 3. No investigations of Hunter Biden If McCarthy did that, the GOP would toss him overboard.
January 4, 20233 yr The fact that Trump is calling for the 20 to fall in line and they do not care one bit makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
January 4, 20233 yr McCarthy loses the 6th vote. 201 votes. 20 for another and 1 Present vote. The minority has grown by 1. Tyranny of the minority. It's let's make a deal time. 7th vote now needed.

January 4, 20233 yr Republican scumbag confesses to crime. George Santos admitted to using stolen checkbook in Brazil, report says Rep.-elect George Santos (R-N.Y.) allegedly admitted to using a stolen checkbook in Brazil in 2008, CNN reported Wednesday. According to a series of Brazilian police documents obtained by the outlet, Santos confessed to stealing a man's checkbook that was in his mother's possession. He then allegedly admitted to using the checkbook to purchase clothing at a shop outside Rio de Janeiro. In the police documents, officials reportedly said that Santos used a fake ID with the real checkbook owner's name and a picture of himself. "[Santos] acknowledged having been responsible for forging the signatures on the checks, also confirming that he had destroyed the remaining checks," authorities wrote in one of the reports, per CNN. This document reporting the confession was allegedly signed by Santos himself in 2010. Santos was eventually charged with fraud related to the use of the checkbook. While Brazilian authorities have been unable to locate Santos in the years since the alleged crime, his election to Congress seems to have re-ignited their investigation. A spokesperson for the Rio de Janeiro prosecutor's office told CNN in a separate statement that they will make a formal request to the U.S. Justice Department to notify Santos of the charges. The Brazilian development is just the latest in a laundry list of alleged falsehoods and lies undertaken by Santos during his campaign for Congress. He has admitted to fabricating multiple stints at college and employment at major Wall Street firms. He has additionally claimed, among other things, that his mother died during the Sept. 11 attacks and that his grandparents were Holocaust survivors, both of which have been shown to be false.
