McCarthy’s amazing fall

On Tuesday 3.09 the home of Representatives voted to remove Kevin McCarthy from the position of talker of the home of Representatives (equivalent to the talker in the Polish Sejm), by 216-210 votes, making McCarthy the first cancelled announcer in the past of the U.S. Congress.

McCarthy's fall has a longer communicative than his own unfavorable vote.

McCarthy's election after the Republicans had won most of the seats in the legislature in the endorsement election 9.11.2022 was not a formality. 5 days of negotiations between the candidate and a group of congressmen representing the right wing of a organization centered in home Freedom Caucus before McCarthy's election as the announcer was sanctioned. He had to agree, among another things, to the right to request that 1 Republican congressman retreat him from the House's office in the event of a breach of the agreement with Caucus by McCarthy. This passage of the agreement proved to be a burden on the talker of the House.

The conflict between McCarthy and Republican right-wing freedomists has ignited while working on the next year's US budget. The Caucusists are in favour of strong financial cuts in the social spending that Democrats are bloated with, mainly, their electorate. Republican Liberals as part of spending cuts are besides opposed to Ukrainian funding.

The financial year in the US ends on September 30. Pat in budget negotiations meant that after 1 October the government would gotta suspend payments to national and military officials. The temporary solution was the adoption of a budget commission for 45 days, saving temporarily from the shutdown, i.e. the closure of offices. The law introducing the provisional procedure contains the objectives and limits of spending the amount of the provisional budget allocated.

McCarthy supports the inclusion of assistance to Ukraine in the budget, but his willingness to introduce expenditure on supporting Ukraine was blocked by an interior Republican vote of 28.09, at the summit phase of the negotiations on the provisional, in which Most Republican congressmen, 117 to 101, voted against spending $300 million to support Ukraine's war effort.

In order to pass a makeshift with restrictions imposed by Republican conservatives, it was essential to support the Democratic Congress. However, they were under specified force to save the government from the shutdown that they gave up insisting on spending in favour of Ukraine.

In favour of Ukraine, McCarthy prepared a plan to push the subject of war financing Ukraine in the draft next year's budget hoping to gain a majority of 2/3 by combining the votes of 101 Republican supporters of Ukraine's further backing with most democratic lovers of war bleeding Ukraine.

A strong opponent of the adoption of a provisional procedure, giving Democrats the chance to catch their breath in the ongoing negotiations of the yearly budget, was Matt Gaetz Florida congressman. On Saturday 29.09 he announced that in the case of McCarthy's presentation of the draft makeover, he would take action forcing a vote on McCarthy's removal.

Gaetz utilized that part of the deal with McCarthy, which allowed all Republican associate of the home of Representatives to apply for McCarthy's cancellation if he broke any of the points of the agreement concluded with Freedom Caucus before choosing him as talker of the House.

McCarthy hoped for the sustainability of the alliance with the democrats made on the occasion of the vote on the budgetary make-up, which would guarantee that he would last in voting on Gaetz's motion to appeal it. He said, “If I gotta hazard my occupation to stand up for the American public, I will.” He took a chance and lost.

And here, in a vote on the request of extremist Republican conservative Matt Gaetz to dismiss McCarthy, there was a amazing alliance of right-wing caucusists with left-wing Democrats. Kevin McCarthy was knocked out of his drinker seat.

It is curious that despite the fundamental differences in the criticisms of McCarthy by a number Republican group centered around Matt Gaetz and the Democratic representation in Congress, there was an unexpected combination of votes. My favourite commentator on social and political events Jeff Childers In his Coffee&Covid journal, he wrote: “...because 1 of the Republican complaints from Freedom Caucus to McCarthy was that he had just utilized Democrats' support to push through the budget agreement on the weekend. Now Freedom Caucus has collaborated with the Democrats to remove the announcer for collaborating with the Democrats. What can I tell you? Politics creates unusual allies”.

Matt Gaetz resented McCarthy for pushing the bill at all costs with a budget make-up, while the Democrats resented the elimination of specified an crucial backing for the Biden administration of Ukraine.

The duties of the interim talker of the home have taken over Patrick McHenry a Republican congressman from North Carolina whose first decision was to take Nancy Pelosi, a Democratic erstwhile spokeswoman, who had previously occupied the cabinet of the home Speaker, which McCarthy could not order.

The recalled announcer elegantly announced that he would not search to be the talker of the home again. Added"I lost the vote today, but I fought for what I believe – I believe in America".

Another sensation was the congressman's announcement Troy Nehls from Texas applying for a candidacy Donald Trump to win the president of the home of Representatives. Prior to the follow-up election in 2022, Trump indagoed for the chance to presume the duties of talker of the home of Representatives replied that he would not be curious in taking up this post.

However, many Republican congressmen now announce that they are ready to vote for Trump as president of the home of Representatives. The influential, extremist right-wing typical of Georgia State Marjorie Taylor Greene She wrote on platform X: "The only candidate for talker of the home of Representatives that I am presently supporting is president Donald J. Trump. He will end the war in Ukraine. He'll safe the border. He'll end up with a politically armed government. It will make America energy independent again. He will pass my bill to halt transgender operations on children and keep men distant from women's sport. He will support our troops and the police. And much more!”

Trump replied Marjorie Taylor Greene: “A lot of people call me a announcer, I can only say that we will do everything that is best for the country and the Republican Party. We have wonderful people, I just want to say that we have wonderful, wonderful people”.

Donald Trump, however, prefers to focus on the presidential campaign. He answered the reporter's question: "I will do everything in my power to help, but I focus entirely on being president and rather frankly, making America large again due to the fact that we are surviving in a country in decline. This is simply a country that falls very badly, we are not respected in the world, interest rates scope zenith, taxes scope zenith, inflation is terrible.”

We are waiting for the fresh talker of the home of Representatives to be elected, although it will not be easy because, as Donald Trump said, expressing his deficiency of desire to apply for this position: “we have large people in the Republican organization who could do a large occupation as a announcer”.

The excess of large candidates and the radicalism of the influential 20 with Freedom Caucus Republicans may be a problem. I hope he's not!

By focusing on the makeshift, I missed work on a separate US State Department budget that the home of Representatives passed on Thursday 28.09, the day before the national budget was passed. The bill adopted sets out funds for agencies and programmes aimed at strengthening national safety and supporting US allies, peculiarly against the Communist organization of China. The attention was drawn to the inclusion in DS spending of assistance to Ukraine as well as very crucial financial constraints on the State Department's capabilities in another fields of activity. The bill set a top budget ceiling of $51.5 billion, which is reduced by $8.2 billion last year.

The most interesting is the ban on financing respective UN agencies, the planet wellness Organization, the planet economical Forum, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, EcoHealth Alliance, any investigation into strengthening virus functions and supporting climate funds administered by the planet Bank.

The Act besides cuts off the backing of 33 peculiar envoys whose activity focused on promoting globalist goals, including a very active climatist John Kerry.

It besides ends support by the State Department for more than 18 programmes, including the Organisation for economical Cooperation and improvement (OECD), the United Nations Educational, technological and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), UN Women, the Montreal Protocol of the UN, the UN Environment Fund and the planet economical Forum.

I applaud!
