spotthebird's JournalIf the rules vote fails what happens next?
At least one Republican publicly stated that he will vote no, that means only three others are required for it to go down. Does that mean that McCarthy is still speaker? How likely is it to pass?
No negotiation! The Democrats should scream, but let them do it
Since they have no actual power to stop it, the best alternative is to just let it happen and correct after the election. There is no reason to promise not to react now since they will respond by making things worse. Also DC deserves federal representation, and all federal courts are overwhelmed and need more judges all the way up to the Supreme Court.

For context it is directly below his right neck labia.
Edit: He couldn't wear his tie because they did something to his neck.
What could it possibly be?

President Donald Trump announced restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe on Wednesday. The ban went into effect at midnight on Friday, but only after the original announcement sparked chaos at European airports as Americans sought ways to return home before it went into place.

It's impossible to believe that this is not an effort to spread the virus.

MMitch told Trump"I'm so sorry" on the way out
Everyone's reaction to the president was soooo strange
What if the Republicans think the delay is a good thing too
The delay could be Pelosi flexing but it is possible that it is a safety to tame Trump's most insane urges.
Today there is a way to remove Trump from office that won't take months, there wasn't last week. Pelosi can send the articles to the senate, McConnell then lets the Republicans know it's time to oust the loon. This could happen in a matter of hours.
There are persistent rumors that 35 Republicans would vote to impeach if it was a secret ballot. There might be twenty who would remove Trump if the reason is good enough, we aren't there yet. It would have to be a very good reason, war against an ally for example, maybe withdraw from NATO, a nuclear bomb, something deathly serious. But there is a bridge too far even for Republicans.
Obviously, the real reason the Republicans would convict would be the new horror Trump inflicted on the world, but this gives McConnell a way to stop Trump. The cool thing is Trump knows it
Just a thought
Today is Putins birthday, really!
