Scalise Withdraws From House Speaker Race

I blame George Soros.

Prog policies have brought Islamic power into this nation. Left wing Jewish people with many on these boards seem to want Islamic Jihad here. Frankly there are other groups who are caught in the middle. In a decade or two Islamic powers will need to be dealt with here even with Jewish people having a lot of power. It will get violent. I don't get it.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., has withdrawn from the House speaker race after he failed to unite the Republican conference around his candidacy.

"I just shared with my colleagues that I'm withdrawing my name as a candidate for the speaker designate," the Louisiana Republican told reporters on Thursday night, just one day after he narrowly won the support of his conference over Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the Trump-endorsed pick for speaker and the House Judiciary Committee.

But as the hours wore on, it became clearer and clearer that Scalise could not win over his detractors. At least 19 House Republicans opposed his candidacy as of Thursday evening, according to a Spectrum News tally.

"Our conference still has to come together and is not there," he added. "There are still some people that have their own agendas, and I was very clear we have to have everybody put their agendas on the side and focus on what this country needs.”

"This House of Representatives needs a speaker and we need to open up the house again," he said. "But clearly, not everybody is there. And they're still schisms, that has to get resolved."

Scalise has been the No. 2-ranking House Republican since 2019 and part of Republican House leadership since 2014. The Louisiana Republican, who turned 58 last week, was nearly killed in 2017 when a left-wing extremist opened fire on lawmakers during a practice for the annual congressional baseball game, wounding Scalise and three others.

This is a developing story. Check back later for updates.

A shitshow in a clown car inside a dumpster fire.

It'll come together, calm your tits.

Wrong thread, dude?

It's about time we expose how Congress has been lining their pockets at the taxpayers expense. This is a fight over the ability to control the Biggest Money Laundering Operation in human history

And… you’re losing. Go figure.

Hakeem Jeffries should take his Hakeem back to Hamas.

 

[rightwinger]

The choices are obvious:

1. Nancy Pelosi
2. Hakeem Jeffries

Pelosi has shown she knows how to do the job

Pelosi has shown she knows how to do the job

At grifting and manipulating, yes.

It will be Jim Jordan or Byron Donalds.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

I'm not sure why anyone is upset. They can't get anything done. Not a bad thing necessarily.

Uhh, well…except during times of global crisis of course.

I don't see it as our problem. They have been fighting for centuries. We aren't going to stop that.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Social Security checks are still sent out.

How about those folks serving on our flagship carrier strike force?

 

[Zincwarrior]

What an amazing MAGA clusterfuck. I am impressed!!!

Hopefully it keeps them out of danger.

That’s why you’re a moron.

Hopefully it keeps them out of danger.

Without pay.

‘We Are A Broken Conference’: Republicans At Standstill After Speaker Nominee Drops Out​

WASHINGTON ― A series of meetings this week has failed to move House Republicans any closer to replacing Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as speaker of the House.

“We are a broken conference,” Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) told reporters after walking out of another meeting in the Capitol basement on Thursday.

Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) likened his colleagues to a football team that lines up but never snaps the ball because nobody listened to the quarterback’s play call in the huddle.

“This is the worst team I’ve ever been on,” Kelly said.

A majority of Republicans backed Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) for speaker, but not enough for him to actually get the gavel.

Progs have enabled hate versus hate versus revenge. And many people have a right to revenge from authoritarian abuses due to not seeing justice.

Well, no it isn't.

Social Security is considered a mandatory program, and it isn't funded by the shorter-term appropriations bills passed by Congress and signed by the president. That means its operations and funding don't stop when the government shuts down.

What happens to Social Security payments if the government shuts down

Quit repeating the lies.

I never lie.


Will I continue to receive my Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks?

Recipients would continue to receive their Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits. However, about 15% of the Social Security Administration’s staff would be furloughed, which could mean the delay or suspension of benefit verifications, replacement of Medicare cards and determinations on disability claims.

I said S.S. would still be sent out. You claimed they wouldn't.

Let's also note the article you note says "could". More scare tactics.
