You mean the GQPer that also has a felony bank fraud conviction? In 2000? That guy?

It was expunged. Do you know what that means?

Also, he seems to have reformed since then. Whatever his politics, he's a success story. In no way qualified to be third in line, but not a felon.

Pretending it never happened didn’t mean he didn’t commit the crime for which he was convicted.

So you don't know what expunged means. Or success story.

I’m well aware of its meaning — that is, records relating to the crime are to be destroyed by law enforcement and he is permitted to deny the fact of his arrest for purposes of things like job applications unless he is applying for certain positions such as on law enforcement. It doesn’t negate the fact he defrauded a bank through the act of bribery for which he pled guilty. Add to this the fact it was granted purely on the basis of politics. And I don’t consider chss asngung his party affiliation from D to R so as to grift at the teat of the racist Tea Party Movement to be a success. It’s just another con.

If you look more closely at his history, he pled guilty to bribery in a plan to defraud a bank in 2000 and then the conviction was expunged in 2016. In between, he worked in finance. So a lot of people thought his story was convincing. Not you, but lots other people.

“A lot of people”? A dozen? A hundred? A thousand? And his “story” was “convincing” in exactly what way? You’re just pulling stuff from your posterior..

It’s also unclear how someone with a back fraud felony was working in “finance.” He certainly wasn’t a CFP or hold a Series 7 and 63.

I read the wiki page. You can too. Make of it what you will. Before the conviction was expunged, he was able to get several jobs in finance. Those people decided to hire him.

Oh there's no question on that one.

I can't believe the Ds didn't do something on this when they were still in charge. It's like leaving a loaded gun out in a house full of toddlers.

Debt ceiling is good until at least July or August. In the lame duck session, Democrats passed what could get enough Republican votes in the Senate.

Yes, this.

PALEEZE people. Stop blaming Democrats for GOP dysfunction. They have been bomb throwers for so long we have accepted this. NO, this is unacceptable. There is no bOth SidEs.

Again, ANY 6 Team Normal GOP could cross the aisle and make Jefferies Speaker or nominate a R who Dems believe would act in good faith.

It's not Dems fault the GOP wants to burn this all down.

Get comfortable. He said that he will not withdraw. There is a good side to this. Nothing can be done by the House until there is a Speaker.

No one will get paid until there is a Speaker. Something will happen ... soon.

This is Day 2. How long will this go on? Five days? Next week? Longer? Or tomorrow?

In the 1850s it took months.

The Whig Party had largely collapsed and no party held a majority of seats. Also there were 21 memvers serking the speakership. In the end, it was decided to change the voting to award the speakership based on a plurality.

And now the non-MAGA GOP has largely collapsed and no party holds a majority of seats. And there could be 21 members who end up seeking the speakership.
