Well, well, well... a late Friday night vote and McCarthy is SOH. Who would have EVER thought, eh?

This is a good thing as they got the concessions they were looking for.... all going as it should... research. DJT himself is all for it.

He shared with me a list of some of what has been roughly negotiated to date. The devil, as always, is in the details.
- As has been reported, it will only take a single congressperson, acting in what is known as a Jeffersonian Motion, to move to remove the Speaker if he or she goes back on their word or policy agenda.
- A “Church” style committee will be convened to look into the weaponization of the FBI and other government organizations(presumably the CIA, the subject of the original Church Committee) against the American people.
- Term limits will be put up for a vote.
- Bills presented to Congress will be single subject, not omnibus with all the attendant earmarks, and there will be a 72-hour minimum period to read them.
- The Texas Border Plan will be put before Congress. From The Hill: “The four-pronged plan aims to ‘Complete Physical Border Infrastructure,’ ‘Fix Border Enforcement Policies,’ ‘Enforce our Laws in the Interior’ and ‘Target Cartels & Criminal Organizations.'”
- COVID mandates will be ended as will all funding for them, including so-called “emergency funding.”
- Budget bills would stop the endless increases in the debt ceiling and hold the Senate accountable for the same.
In response to the outcome, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), one of the holdouts, said in a statement that the anti-McCarthy Reps. "changed the way the government will be funded," and "changed the way committees will be formed."
"We secured votes on term limits, the fair tax, the Texas Border Plan, and so much more."
I have watched to many Twilight Zone episodes growing up, to know 1 thing.

Yeah, yeah... they got the concessions they were looking for (yawn). The only "research" I need here is to know how you can tell that a politician is lying (he opens his mouth). As to DJT himself being all for it? (yep, another big yawn)...
And yet not a single thing will change.

As well as Genie's and wishes .. great TV ..
"The Man in the Bottle"
The genie warns them that every wish has consequences, and that they should think carefully before making their next one. Castle decides that he wants to be in a position of great power, and wishes to be a leader - who cannot be voted out of office - of a modern and powerful country. ..
I don't know, so far my deal has worked out OK.I have watched to many Twilight Zone episodes growing up, to know 1 thing.
