do the constituents have the ability to do a recall election? If not it's really a moot point. I can't remember any recalls for federal office (yes I know all about recalls for state level politicians)Quote:
No he's not, and he's not the only one. The problem is he (and they) were hired by their constituents and should be fired by same.
Congressional representatives can't be recalled. At this point the only people with the ability to act on the fact that he outright lied about literally everything to voters in order to get elected are the house of representatives.Quote:

The Republicans allowed things to get out of hand, and now reigning in Boebert, Gaetz, Jorden etc. is not going well. I’m relieved we have nothing else to focus on like inflation, health care, the economy or immigration. Those come after Hunters laptop, if a speaker is ever elected. I think it’s round six. Embarrassing.
Another news story reported some republicans wanted to work with Dems to get the threshold lowered for the amount of votes needed. Can you say Merrick Garland?
The hits keep on coming.

Matt Gaetz demanding Mccarthy be removed from speakers office where he has already moved in and is "squatting"
I never quite understood that, one way or the other.Quote:

I just saw this, which seems about right:
A haiku for Kevin McCarthy
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha you loser.
Those who voted the republicans in now see what lowlifes they elected… an embarrassment to the world.
All of this brawling among the Republicans is not dignified.
I am here for it! I like the drama. It is lively.
