My guess, which I think someone already made earlier in the thread, is it's going to generally try to demonstrate why a civil war would be bad and awful all around so maybe people should stop fetishizing civil war in Boogaloo memes and such like a bunch of clueless teenagers.

Pass a bill to fund the government until next year, then motion to vacate Johnson. I feel like there's a way to do it with it ending up with a dem as speaker.

The GOP turds in the House are delaying this vote as much as possible by forcing roll-call votes on all the procedural poo poo that is normally done by voice vote before the vote on the CR.

So that's correct but not the entire outcome - the motion was denied in part and granted in part. https://bsky.app/profile/kenwhite.bsky.social/post/3kjbjzyrwrs2n

I acknowledge this is a stupid question an idiot would ask, but please be gentle. Why would Johnson get removed over this? Yes, I'm sure he wants it to pass, but wouldn't enough Republicans also vote for it to render the HFC's tantrum irrelevant? Dems want this to pass too, right? My tiny pea brain isn't seeing the problem here.

I think if the dems decide to vote against him, the HFC crazies would be sufficient to kick him out. But unless I missed something, the dems should be pretty ok with this version so they probably won't do it, even though it'd be pretty funny.

The Dems can vote him out just to own the Republicans but they wouldn’t do that until after it passes so that is irrelevant Though this time their might not be a speaker until the next bill anyway so it could come back to bite them

BigBallChunkyTime posted:Why would Johnson get removed over this? If it followed the McCarthy model, Johnson would get it passed, then piss off the Dems to the point where they don't see any value in protecting him, and then HFC pulls the one-vote MTV and the Dems stand aside and let the GOP eat itself. It's probably easier to do now than it was under McCarthy with even smaller House GOP margins.

Whichever is less good for the dems and the country, the dems will probably do the only reason McCarthy got ousted was because Matt "Forehead" Gaetz hated him, I don't know if Republicans hate Johnson. in fact a lot of republicans love johnson generally

Also more moderate republicans often end up caving to the far right of their party. Republicans tend to be like the Democrats in that way who also always seem to cave to the right of the party.

Dems could theoretically leverage a speaker circus into a more moderate Republican in the spot, though it's probably just more likely they would keep Johnson to avoid a shutdown altogether.

So it only took a bit over 30 minutes for the House to vote on a 15 minute procedural vote. Now they have 5 minutes to vote on a Senate amendment. I'm guessing it takes at least 15 minutes. They really do need to just loving stop taking votes when the timer runs out and let the reps stew over their votes not counting. Eventually they'd maybe figure out how to push their stupid yes/no button during the timer. E: The amendment voting is going much faster and already has enough yes votes to pass.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:I acknowledge this is a stupid question an idiot would ask, but please be gentle. There isn't a large enough R majority in the house to make anyone's temper tantrum irrelevant. And since the rules are anyone can call for the speaker to be kicked out at anytime, two or three people mad that the bill didn't gut federal funding for puppies and kittens can break government again. Basically, any compromise that gets dems on board loses a minimum of one-third of the nutjob party. The only way to keep the lights on right now is to get dems to agree to something because the nutjobs are fractured and too many want too many contradictory things. So the best that they've been able to do is kick the can down the road and that will still likely result in Johnson getting the boot.
