Big Kev says he won't make any concessions to Dems to save his speakership from the mot to vacate (not that they were apparently offering) -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 3, 07:19 8
- Is there anyone acceptable to the nutjob caucus who won't lose enough sane Republicans to be able to win the speakership? -- nm - Dano Oct 3, 07:42 6
  - Right. The problem with removing him is the inability to put someone else in place means that nothing gets done until there is someone there. - pmb Oct 3, 07:50

  - i think Gaetz said Scalise was "acceptable" (but of course Scalise may or may not be dumb enough to accept the same pre-conditions that Kev did) -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 3, 07:43 1
    - it was hilarious watching the media skip and jump through Gaetz's antics last night after his 'announcement' - Jovian Oct 3, 07:48

        This is the thing that European soccer gets absolutely right. Teams are businesses. If they want a better stadium to raise revenue, build one. - Volnelk Oct 3, 06:06 3
        
        and in some places (ok, mostly germany) the teams have to have a % of local ownership, that prevents hostage situations re funding or we move. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 3, 06:41
