Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told members of the House GOP conference Wednesday morning that he will not bring the Senate’s bipartisan continuing resolution to the floor for a vote.

Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) told reporters after a closed-door House GOP conference meeting that McCarthy informed lawmakers during the gathering that he will not bring the upper chamber’s legislation to the floor for a vote, even after the Senate voted to advance it in a bipartisan fashion Tuesday night.

“I don’t think he plans to do that,” Good said when asked about bringing the Senate stopgap bill up for a vote. “He reiterated that this morning. I called on him to consistently say that to the public, let the Senate know that’s dead on arrival and that there’s no way the House would pass that bill.”

    Jesus Christ. Are you a bot? The Electoral College is outdated, counter-productive, and completely corrupt, ergo: “people (elected officials) that don’t do their jobs” and in immediate need of abolishing. I don’t have time to hold your hand here, please read for comprehension.

      Yes, the Electoral College is a bad idea, but you come off as an idiot for still trying to link it to the Speaker of the House.

      Again, Electors only exist for 60 days every 4 years, and then aren’t actually paid for the job they do, And per the constitution, cannot be elected officials.

      So again, you have no fucking clue how government works, but you’re railing against your little pet peeve, trying to link it to things completely unrelated. I already told you how to mostly fix both problems, but you don’t seem to have understood. Given the quality of your comments in this thread, it makes sense.
