What is it that the 19 want that Kevin hasn't already agreed to? nt

[LAS14]

[Ocelot II]

1. I don't think it's a matter of what he hasn't agreed to - they just don't like him.

[underpants]

3. It only takes 5 and they do not like him

They are poo flingers. Monkey wrenches. Outlying media moths (attracted to the light).

[onecaliberal]

2. They don't like him. They don't trust him. They are never Kevin's.

[Emile]

4. Free shoe shine?

[Duncanpup]

6. That is it free shoe shines.

I thought they were holding out for Qvein to give them happy ending.

[griffi94]

5. I'm just guessing here, as I have no channel to inside info.

They probly want him to agree to fellate himself in public and on demand any time
any member of the Freedom/MAGA Caucus tells him to.
They may also be holding out for the right to pull his pants down and spank him (or make fun of his genitals)
at their leisure, public or private.

[Irish_Dem]

7. I agree, perhaps they are torturing and humiliating him to make him docile.

Training him to be a dancing bear.

[peggysue2]

8. I don't think there's anything McCarthy could give these obstructionists

Because they think they should be running the show, that the power in the Chamber should come from the bottom up.

These are not legislators; they're committed bomb throwers.

[Blue_playwright]

9. I just don't get it

I can see embarrassing him with the first vote, but this isn't junior high. Get on board so work can be done. Jeez.

[ananda]

10. I'm OK with them not being on board.

Nobody in the GOP is going to get any real work
done anyway.

[griffi94]

11. They don't care, at all, if any work gets done.

Their primary job is to promote themselves on RW and social media.
Their seats in the HOR are just another promotion tool.
They want to be media celebrities and get paid for speaking at events sponsored by
Turning Point USA. They want to sell books and continue the grift.

[Midnight Writer]

22. Exactly. This is all "Look at me! Look at me!"

[Attilatheblond]

15. Agree. Bunch of infantile narcissists who just want attention

No interest in even learning the basics of what government is for. They just want a nice paycheck, free money from foolish voters and big money from corporate entities who need people to carry custom made bills to the floor then vote for them.

The fascists found perfect mentally unstable puppets to put in office to blow up the whole system.

[Freethinker65]

12. What did Trump gain by making fun of people?

They enjoy humiliating someone. Makes them feel superior. It never was about governing. It's about winning and enjoying watching people lose.

And eventually getting some media exposure, money, and power out of it.

[Mz Pip]

13. They are already getting what they want

Attention.

Bobo and Gaetz are attention hogs. This is just another moment in the spotlight for them. They longer they drag this out, the better for them.

Probably the same for the rest of them. It sure isn’t about good government.

[lapfog_1]

14. I heard rumor that Kevin offered them

"if any 5 members of the majority ask for a new vote on the Speakership, it would be granted"

And the Freedum cranks said "if any SINGLE member of the majority demands a vote on the Speakership..."

something like that.

[tritsofme]

16. They want Kevin to go. It sounds personal, and not policy driven.

I don’t think there is anything he can give them.

[mcar]

17. SO and I keep wondering that

[Mr.Bill]

18. They're weasels

and they don't like the competition.

[Timewas]

19. Somebody else n/t

[The Roux Comes First]

20. There Was Never Any Genuine Interest in Governing or "Getting Stuff Done"

At least not as we think of it, namely, with majority votes and in adherence to that frickin' pledge and all that parliamentary procedure foofah.

Maybe some distant resonance with the Yippies of yore, Hoffman and Rubin et al. Anti-authoritarian pranks and thumbing their noses at everyone who doesn't bow down to their dogma.

[allegorical oracle]

21. Kevin had already promised that just any five of them could throw him out of the Speaker's job

whenever they wanted to replace him with somebody else. Sure would've kept the team that produces the Speaker of the House nameplates around the Capitol working overtime.

[dsc]

23. they don't trust him and for good reason

He is a known liar with no discernable beliefs.
