A Dick Butkus GOOD MORNING!!! to you all! Yup, Dick Butkus has passed away at 80. The the most feared man on the field when he played. Gained a reputation for biting people when there was a pile on the field or for eye gouging or for whatever it took to let a player know he was NOT NICE! God Speed Sir…God Speed.
Free For All Friday Ed-vise today. Cause it’s FRIDAY! OPEN MAT; PIZZA NIGHT!
A bit of insight on the Chaos of the House of Representatives (HOR).
In the HOR, they make up a bunch of internal rules about things. Not just laws that impact the nation and world. House rules. Things like how to dress, how to “play nice” (gotta laugh at that), rules for debate and so on and so on.
One of the rules they have addresses removing the Speaker of the House from their position as Speaker. It’s called a “Motion to Vacate.” It was actually written up by Thomas Jefferson a long time ago. It was intended that a number (can’t recall the actual number) of members could make the motion. But, in January 2023, it was changed so that only one person was needed to bring up a vote to remove the speaker. Which they did.
The party with the majority gets to nominate the speaker. Which was done in January by the Republi-Morons and seated Kevin McCarthy. The stipulation was a change to the Motion to Vacate allowing one person to make the motion.
Now, when the motion is brought up, the whole house votes and it takes a majority to make it law. Just a simple majority meaning the vote only has to win by 1 vote.
The party lines break down as such: Dems 213; Rep; 222.
Understand, it was the Republi-Morons that brought the motion. That means someone (Matt Gaetz) wanted McCarthy removed. To win this motion, he needed 7 other Repub Clowns to join him, which he had.
All the Dems would, of course, vote out McCarthy. Why? Because he is a Republi-Moron and doing this would throw the party into chaos…as it has.
It’s like if a school bully were to offer a free “Kick in the Nuts”, you’d absolutely kick him in the nuts. Well, that’s what the Republi-Morons offered the Dems…a free “Kick in the Nuts!” And they took it! Along with 8 other Republi-Morons. McCarthy did not get to vote.
Is this gonna be a big deal? Not really. The press makes it seem that way, but it is really only a problem for the Republi-Morons. So, don’t lose a bunch of sleep over it.
Kick back, grab a scotch and some pop corn and enjoy the clown show. Or, if you want something better, watch Survivor or Big Brother. It’s a way better representation of actual life!
I’m just saying
That’s it for today. Be the person a stranger will do CPR on. Check in on each other and remember zombie are really good at Trick or Treat because of their…DEAD-EYE-CATION! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA…BOO!
Peace
