Regarding discontent with Dem leadership

 

But I was busy

they were giving me an award!

According to some reporting, the House vote to impeach Hegseth yesterday failed because some dems didn’t show up for the vote. Pelosi was busy receiving an award for whatever, while another was at a doctor’s visit. Some other dems got ‘stuck in traffic’. What a display of unity and competence. /s

Dem party elites doing their thing

One Republican voted to impeach, just one. Arguably, that signals the MAGA party’s intend to stay defiant and MAGAfied, the election results be damned. Also signaling MAGA party defiance and stubborn MAGAfication, House MAGA politicians voted to make the hyper-aggressive MAGA extremist Jim Jordan their leader in the next congress. Jordan, always being full of hot piss and rancid vinegar, ain’t gonna compromise on anything. The question is how well he will be able to hold MAGA party unity together in the House. That will be interesting to watch.

Jordan is pissed off and in no mood to compromise on anything

Maybe after the next congress is sworn in, when all the cats are in the same room at the same time, the dems can collect themselves and arrange to vote again on impeaching Hegseth. Yesterday’s House vote was a procedural move to shelve the impeachment, not a direct vote rejecting the individual articles on their merits.

Apparently there is some grumpiness among some dem elites and rank and file with how the impeachment vote played out. For example, an article, Hakeem Jeffries’ Future Questioned After Pete Hegseth Impeachment Failure, raises the issue of displeasure with current dem party leadership. Will the dems toss Jeffries and Schumer, or will the dems’ crappy but long-standing dem party system of seniority over competence keep those to disasters in power? The old dem guard isn’t going to willingly let go of power. The dem establishment is backed by special interest money. They will have to be forced out. That’s another interesting thing to watch.

Q1: Does the dem party need a strong leader to herd the dems cats, e.g., as shown below?

Strong dem leader herding the dem cats

Q2: Has the MAGA party leadership clearly signaled its intention to fight tooth, claw, and poison fang in opposition of everything or nearly everything the herd of cats will try to do in the next congress, the voters be damned?
