CR: A rebellious contingent of House Democrats are claiming they have the votes to stop Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., from becoming speaker of the House, demanding new leadership and putting current Democratic leadership on defense.
Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., told Roll Call Tuesday he is “100 percent confident” that the anti-Pelosi faction has enough votes and commitments to keep Pelosi from being elected House speaker in a floor vote. He is part of an effort to gather signatures on a letter calling for new leadership that is intended to show the strength of the opposition.
“The goal is to get to critical mass, and people realize it’s just time to move on,” Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., said.
Democrats are scheduled to vote on a nominee for House speaker on November 28. The speaker of the House is elected by a simple majority of the 435 members composing the House of Representatives. Democrats in rebellion against Pelosi can vote with Republicans against her, barring her from the speakership.
Though there is no declared candidate opposing Pelosi, Moulton expects one will emerge when it becomes clear she doesn’t have the votes to lead. more here
Hope Pelosi destroys the rebellion, alienating any Dem who has a sense of moderateness. Drive the Manchins of the House toward the right.
The elephants need to start showing support for her. Either her or occasional cortex.
Looks like she, who imo is, bat shit crazy Botox broad, might find her power loss being the collateral damage she spoke of.
“The elephants need to start showing support for her. Either her or occasional cortex.”
I heard a radio pundit (not sure who) refer to her yesterday as ‘She Guevara’. I got a chuckle out of that and think that would be perfect branding.
There’s something to be said about doing things the old-fashioned way. The House Dems should get Pelosi in the caucus room and do a Julius Caesar number on her.
Oh, yeah, and Alexandria OCD would make a dandy Speaker.
I remember when the mob rebelled and tried to take control from the Corleon family. That didn’t go well either.
I’m grabbing some popcorn, this will be better than “The Godfather”.
This is turning into Gloria Swanson and Sunset Blvd.
“All right Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up”
Trying to stretch the truth as she sees it.
Max, I mean Clyburn, start the car!
A staircase to a podium could deny Pelosi.
Asking her to say “Sara sells seashells by the seashore” three times fast could as well.
Clyburn is the Hoke to her Driving Miss Daisy. Please Missy Ma’am…I ain’t took no can of salmon!
If Pelosi hadn’t sold her soul to the devil she’d have time to focus on saving her soul. But, nope. What the hell is wrong with people her age who are so wealthy they’ll never live long enough to spend all her money and she still wants more money?
…nice, but…
(Sam and Frodo discuss an orc that killed another while looking for them after an argument)
“For a while the hobbits sat in silence. At length Sam stirred. ‘Well I call that neat as neat,’ he said. ‘If this nice friendliness would spread about in Mordor, half our trouble would be over.’
‘Quietly, Sam,’ Frodo whispered. ‘There may be others about. We have evidently had a very narrow escape, and the hunt was hotter on our tracks than we guessed. But that is the spirit of Mordor, Sam; and it has spread to every corner of it. Orcs have always behaved like that, or so all tales say, when they are on their own. But you can’t get much hope out of it. They hate us far more, altogether and all the time. If those two had seen us, they would have dropped all their quarrel until we were dead.’”
-JRR Tolkien, “The Return of the King”
…and so will the ACTUAL evil creatures, the Democrats, do; for they, too, hate us far more, altogether and ALL the time…
They ought to seat whoever can say “rubber baby buggy bumpers” three times the fastest.
She can’t be denied! I need my Botoxically-perfect image of a brain-dead Democrat on TV!!
Left Coast Dan, even better is that it would drive the newly-elected Young Lions even further left.
