So if mccarthy gets voted in with those concessions and passes the updated rules, but then gets voted out, would those rules he passed stay in effect?

The rules are set at the beginning of the term, but they can be changed because one of the rules is how you change the rules. So it's not that a new speaker means new rules.

These same people love to quote Sun Tzu and talk about the Art of war as a practical manual for business and politics etc etc, but one of the most fundamental basic statements in that book is that you should only pick fights when you know you can win.

A smart person wouldn't even have been in that position because they'd realize there's no getting past the inevitable perio

So in that case it sounds like mccarthy is going to pass their rules and then theyre going to give him the boot right after they pass and hes actually dumb enough to enable this

I hate to be a downer but I think we're getting a little giddy. Sounds more like all the chuds got what they wanted. McCarthy gets speaker, the fringe crazies get all the appointments they want and quiet down because they got their demands and their handlers told them they're making the right look bad, conservatives/fascists unite as a coalition to hamstring the government, and everyone will forget this infighting clusterfuck (enjoyable as it was) ever happened by Monday.

Would at least be a little funnier if we had a media that wasn't overwhelmingly right-wing that would hold accountable the people who said they'd never back down or resign if McCarthy was speaker.

This is actually explicitly referring to all government officials that aren't Congresspeople. They literally can't change a Congressperson's salary during the same term that they were elected for because of the 27th Amendment.

If McCarthy gets his Speakership he won’t serve a full term. Any of the other dinguses on the chart of people who went 9 votes or more lasted just months.

He’s already a dead man walking, and he probably retires instead of running for re-election in 2024. This is not how he imagined his career going.

You left out the part where the house GOP holds the country hostage over the debt limit, tanks the economy by forcing a protracted government shutdown, and Biden and the democrats somehow get blamed for it.

McCarthy doesn't want those concessions in place, and neither do the Dems, so why don't the Dems offer to give McCarthy the votes he needs in exchange for just not having to go with those concessions from the fringe group? Seems like a win-win. It's not like Jeffries is going to pull through somehow.

This raises some very important questions about that day. First and foremost did she bring an onion with her on the day specifically to fake getting maced with OR did she just happen to find an onion on the day and improvised?

McCarthy is giving nothing to the Dems and they have no reason to help him out on anything. This is part of why he’s so bad at this.

The important thing was that she had an onion on her belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.
