Why was McCarthy Removed?

The repubs have VERY narrow majority (5 seats?) McCarthy had to make lots of promises to get speakership and still took 15 rounds of voting to get him in.

One concession he made was any one person could ask for a motion to remove him.

When he negotiated a deal for a continuing resolution for the current budget, and needed dozens of Dems to pass it, many repubs felt betrayed (they really want to balance the budget) and here we are

peace to you

 

The bottom line, @Scarlett O., was that Matt Gaetz does not like Kevin McCarthy and Kevin McCarthy does not like Matt Gaetz. And Matt Gaetz had 7 other close friends who would side with him to oust Kevin McCarthy as the Speaker of the House.

Now, there are other secondary reasons, such as issues about the debt deal that McCarthy made with President Biden, and the continuing resolution from this past weekend.

But the primary reason was personal animus.

 

The Democrats merely sat off to the side and let the Republicans do their thing. It was not a Democrat who brought forth the motion to vacate, and without the motion to vacate, it could not have happened.

 

Nuts and bolts!

Like everything else, I think we should blame, you know who.

 

Because Republicans are stupid and petty

 

Pelosi remained in the speakers office, until now. Some of the nuts & bolts explanations here are laughable. Simply put, McCarthy did not do what he promised. Have you seen any of the J6 tapes that were going to be released? Democrats defeated all Repub initiatives in the Senate, while no Repub initiatives got passed in the House. The uniparty suffered a great defeat, they didn’t believe it could happen. McCarthy told Gaetz to ‘bring it’. Consider it ‘brought’. A couple of necessary exposures with this vote……interesting. They will become the new darlings of the media, I’m sure.










This was too funny not to post……..

This man

If "millions will most likely suffer", then the federal government is TOO large, TOO intrusive, and its scope is TOO far.

 

The U.S. party system has gone through various phases over time. In this current phase, U.S. political parties have become much like parliamentary-system parties. The U.S. Constitution was not set up to have parties at all, much less parliamentary-type parties like they have in countries such as England. In this phase of party history, it is not to be expected that one major party will bail out the other major party. As the old saying goes, attributed to Napoleon: "Never interfere with an enemy while he's in the process of destroying himself."

 

Only some. The far right wingers who think you should never collude with Democrats, as though being a Democrat is evil and ungodly.

 

Why was the Speaker removed? The majority of Republicans thought he had kept his word. Eight Republicans thought he had broken his word.

Why were the 12 budget bills not passed? The Eight claim he dithered. The majority believe he did not have the votes to pass those late bills.

The first temporary extension was better than the one that passed. Did the eight block its passage. If so, that charge is "Trumped" up.

 

You sound just like you did with the vax. A real go along to get along type, it appears. You didn’t care about the loss of income to those thousands of people losing jobs for refusing the vax. But you really care about all those gubmint jobs now. If you have leadership that always acquiesces, you have no leadership.
