Election 2022 Hopium Containment Thread

The only thing we need the house to not do in the next 2 years is not default on the debt limit. Investigations and no other legislation is a given. For purposes of not defaulting on the debt ceiling, Cheney is probably perfect.

Kinzinger got redistricted and didn’t run. Meijer got primaried by QAnon.

Not eliminating the debt limit during the lame duck period is completely indefensible

Cuse knows that, he thinks they might elect a non Rep as speaker, which is technically allowed but has never happened.

How many here would swallow voting for a GOPe as Speaker if presented with that opportunity?

Speaker does not have to be a member.

Merrick Fucking Garland

Lol that isn’t gonna happen.

Get rid of him and appoint Liz Cheney. She’ll charge Trump.

If we lose the House, I’d swallow it assuming it’s a reasonable person and Dems get something tangible in the process (doesn’t have to be a big thing necessarily).

Do you think they have enough votes to override a filibuster?

I would take it for the LOLs. If it’s 218-217, then Dems can just pick any republican they want and make that person speaker. That person just votes for themselves + 217 Dems = speaker.

Just pick whoever would rustle McCarthy the most.

Boebert losing by 3 because of cured ballots. Plus to make 218 Dems.

I have a dream….
