“Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) says Speaker McCarthy made a “secret deal” with Democrats on funding for Ukraine: It is becoming increasingly clear who the Speaker of the House already works for and it’s not the Republican Conference.”

From C-SPAN

In case there are any intoxicated jurors left in the jury room who are still out on this and who also happen to be escaped mental patients, that no one else is even aware of: I’m not only a ,mindreader, but I don’t pretend to be one either. So now that little secret is out of the bag, I’ll try to interpret what Representative Matt Gaetz (Republican, Florida) was trying to say here, from Congressional speak, to just good, old-fashion, American English.

I’m thinking that based on this speech, that Representative Gaetz doesn’t think there are enough votes for his motion to vacate Speaker Kevin McCarthy and have him replaced by someone else. Just by the fact that he’s now talking about this supposed side deal that Speaker McCarthy has with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, where they would fund both Ukraine and the Southern American border and perhaps Leader Jeffries would give the Speaker the Democrat votes that he Speaker needs to keep his job and perhaps House Democrats would get something else when it comes to how the House is managed and so-forth.

Also, you hear Representative Gaetz (and I’m paraphrasing here) say that if the whole House knew, or at least the House Republican Conference knew what the Speaker and House Democrats are up too, when it comes to this supposed side deal that they have, then there would be enough votes to vacate the Speaker of the House. But again, I’m not a mindreader, not even a Congressional mindreader and I don’t pretend to be one. (For the two people left in the world, who also happen to be sane and sober, who have any doubts about that)

I’m also interested in Classic Hollywood, especially actresses and actors, but films and TV as well, as well as humor and lifestyle
