You're still not making sense.
Again.
What does staunch Conservative and Republican Andrew McCarthy, who supports impeaching Biden, view of Trump have to do with his view that the impeachment inquiry doesn't have any authority?

Let me make it easier for you
1. Andrew McCarthy hates Trump.
2. Andrew McCarthy hates Biden because he is a paid Republican shill most of the time.
3. Andrew McCarthy supports impeachment because it will help Republicans get rid of Biden
4. But Andrew McCarthy thinks there is no authority without a Speaker for the impeachment inquiry.


Explain how in your view 1 impacts 4. That you had to bring it up to disqualify Andrew McCarthy's statement in 4.
You are only concerned about this because of the impeachment process. Ignorant that there might be a new speaker by Tuesday, there is no rule limiting the acting speaker from overseeing impeachment and so on.
Andrew McCarthy opinion is just that. How about the supreme court opinion?

Just what would happen if the President and VP offices suddenly fell vacant right now?

This is the reason despite strong job growth people still say the economy is poor.
If you can, debunk this article - It is very specific about the economic indicators under Biden eg higher mortgages, higher living costs, inflationary pressures,energy costs and dominance.

Explain it.
If logical fallacies were a person, it'd be named basilico.
Your naivety at full display . Andrew does not want Trump, most likely he is a DeSantis person. Getting rid of the speaker bodes well for Trump because he will largely influence incoming speaker. Or the new speaker will force congress to defund the likes Garlands DoJ & FBI , impeach Joe Biden for treason and so on.
Those are matters that McCarthy was slow walking as speaker.Which Matt Gaetz group had demanded before getting the speaker votes.

If you had any two cents you'd have that figured out.

1.) Below is that Conservative legal icon Andrew McCarthy arguing the same thing. He's a grifter, but wants to be known for his legal smarts so he doesn't shade the law when it's obvious. Some of these concepts may be too complex for you though.
Whither the Impeachment Inquiry?
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/whither-the-impeachment-inquiry/

2.) You mean that Giuliani who has already been disbarred in one state? Or that Giuliani who in under indictment? Or that Giuliani who has been sanctioned in court? Or was there another Giuliani you were talking about? And throwing a random lawyer's name in an argument doesn't make the case for your argument.

3.) I'm a US citizen. Hence an American. So, it's the Black guy who lives his American lifestyle. Question for you, what American lifestyle do you live?

4.) When I read posts in this thread it's like I've been transported to NeverLand, where up is down and left right. You, who has never set foot in the US, yet spends his life talking about the US is arguing about someone copying an American Lifestyle? Benvalino, who can't conjugate a verb and hasn't written one post that a 5th grader couldn't, is talking about other people being dumb? And Mr. Mental Illness himself, slyfoxx, who's on record talking about doing drugs and buying 1k ashawo, is talking about others being mentally ill and trashing Hunter Biden for wait for it.. doing more expensive drugs and hiring more expensive prostitutes. Lol. Up is down and left is right.
McCarthy'.
Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, has warned the GOP that the party is
bound to "lose everything" if Donald Trump wins the primary and goes on to face Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.

Giuliani. I picked him at random. He has rights to say that Joe Biden had in his own words said he had the most widespread election fraud org in history.

.You being in America is not proof of being in the know 'bout anything. You ain't the only one there, it does not matter whether one has been there or not to figure out 1+1 , which apparently seems a huge prob with you

It so happens that dumb people don't realise how dumb they are.

But but but Orange man bad




Text messages and receipts show that
Hunter Biden may have accidentally
spent his father's money on an escort
in 2018, according to a report by the
New York Post
The woman's name was Yanna, an
escort from Emerald Fantasy Girls
He had spent a number of nights in
May, 2018 with the woman at
Hollywood Hotel The Jeremy and owed
her $8,000, according to the report
Receipts on his laptop obtained by the
Post show, however, that transactions
he thought had failed started going
through, leading to overcharges of
$25,000
Hunter would later get most of the
money back, but he is soon contacted
by someone identified as Robert Savage
III, a former Secret Service agent
Texts between the two indicate that
Savage is concerned about an account
related to 'Celtic' a code name for Joe
Biden when he was vice president

You're a pro at these logical fallacies.
Every action in the Congress is derived from some power. Usually it's a vote of the majority. So absent a vote of a Majority, where is the power for the Impeachment inquiry coming from?

And while you are at it, tell me, where does the Speaker pro Tempore's power come from? In fact there are people positing that he didn't have the power to kick Pelosi out of her office.

In fact the whole vacated Speaker picking his replacement doesn't make sense. I'm sure the statute was designed for an incapacitated Speaker not one that was removed. I'm sure noone thought a speaker would be removed. But welcome to the chaos Republcian party, upending history. But, I'm sure they'll revisit it after this process.

But this is again what I'm talking about. You're too stupid to know how stupid you really are. So, you write things without understanding how complex they really are.
You now support McCarthy. Because whoever replaces him will have maga blood flowing in his veins.
Some black guy copying American lifestyle, and pretends to know more than say Giuliani on what's lawful for America.

Let’s stop arguing with that foolish cult member. Look at these headlines and the verbiage they are using. Biden is not just passively letting this happen because his hands are tied by appropriated funds. He is ACTIVELY enabling it by waiving laws, approving permits and even using his executive powers to make it happen faster because of the upcoming elections and pressure from red state democrats.

But he comes out and throws a lame excuse for his low IQ supporters like Budaatum and they gobble it up like the moronns they are. It embarrasses me that we share this thread with such dolts who lack the most basic level of objectivity and critical thinking like Budaatum
I had also posted here some days ago. Texas governor setup floating razor wire barriers along river Rio Grande to prevent migrants from crossing in. What did Biden do? They cut off the barriers to let the migrant flow continue unimpeded.l

And the other LatinX speaker wants us to stop posting here so that they can feel good trumpeting themselves

I assume to successfully prosecute Trump the government would have to prove the information he leaked was accurate and he wasn't making it up. In order to do that they have to verify it in court. Right now it's a rumor, though it may be true.
During the debate in 2016 Clinton had this to say.Which the media twisted themselves into pretzels to downplay the significance.



Clinton, Oct. 19: The bottom line on
nuclear weapons is that when the
president gives the order, it must be
followed. There’s about four minutes
between the order being given and the
people responsible for launching nuclear
weapons to do so. And that’s why 10
people who have had that awesome
responsibility have come out and, in an
unprecedented way, said they would not
trust Donald Trump with the nuclear codes
or to have his finger on the nuclear button

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Tim
Scott (R-S.C.) issued the following
statement as the Biden
administration’s Department of Defense
auctions off approximately $260 million
worth of border wall construction materials.
The White House has spent an additional
nearly $47 million dollars storing the
unused border wall materials due to its
refusal to finish border security
measures. 5.8 million people have entered
the United States illegally since President
Biden took office and his decision to halt
border wall production
comes amid surging illegal border

Not In My Backyard . Sanctuary cities crying for the wall.
When Trump wanted funds for the wall, congress led by Paul Ryan refused. Ryan is a board member of Fox News Corp today.
When Trump used money for the Department of Defence to build a security wall, some judge blocked the reallocation of funds
They could not give Trump $25B for the American border, but are spending 5 times that to protect Ukraine's border.

Agreed that they would just ignore the rules (Republicans are good at that), but disagree that Trump would be speaker. There are too many Republicans who won seats in moderate (swing) districts for that to happen. Can't imagine them going to their constituents in say a swing district in NY, and explaining they thought it was prudent to elect a person who is under multiple federal criminal indictments and a person the NY court said just committed fraud. Especially when Trump will most likely lose their districts by a wide margin. Survival would steal the day as getting reelected is the only way to continue their grift.
You are implying that the indictments have cost Trump votes. I would say it's for only ignorant low life's who can't see that all these cases are an extreme interpretation of the law to fit a crime. Yes. it's only those who lack curious minds , believe the smiling judges and cat walking stone cold prosecutors that they are after justice.

Im guessing his name can be out to a vote and change the rules later. GOP voters are Trump voters now and not the other way round.

Hmmm. Interesting.

In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled segregation in schools was illegal. 3 years later 9 black students attempt to enter a white school were prevented after the democrat governor sent the National Guard to stop them supported by.a belligerent mob.
Republican President Eisenhower decisively
resolved the situation at gunpoint when he
took control of the Arkansas National Guard
and sent 1,000 U.S. Army Paratroopers from
the 101st Airborne Division to restore order in
Little Rock, Arkansas. It took a strong
Republican leader to enforce civil order.
The 9 students were constantly jeered by hordes of racist white democrats throughout their schooling.

Arkansas has always had democrat governor's from 1900s through 1996. Save for very short stints when republicans held the gubernatorial seat during those periods.

Takeaways.
One:
Democrats pretend not to be racist . Did racist democrats really become republicans during the great " switch" of 1964?

Two:
Military has been used to quell civil riots. Under Trump Pentagon was against using the force during the George Floyd BLM riots with Dempsey saying citizens are not the enemy.
Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by basilico:
McCarthy was a slime. He allowed the motion for single member move to oust speaker because Nancy Pelosi had assured him that she would back him. He needed the 15 votes from the Republicans to clinch speaker. He knew he could pander to democrats and with only 5 Republicans on his side, they could never force him out as speaker. Good riddance.

Here is McCarthy quoted yesterday.





"It's interesting , it was in this room after we had won the majority and I became speaker, Nancy Pelosi came to me and was speaker on the way out, I told her I was having issues with getting enough votes".
"She said, 'What's the problem?' I said, 'They
want this one, one person can rule you out' —
she was the only speaker to have changed
that rule," McCarthy said. "I had the power to
call the vote on her, but I never would — I lost
some votes because of it. And she said, 'Just
give it to them. I'll always back you up. I
made the same offer to Boehner and
same thing to Paul because I believe in the
institution.'"

Never Trust Democrats.Biden seems to have made a deal with McCarthy wrt Ukraine funding.


Support for funding for Ukraine has been a key
sticking point in Rep. Matt Gaetz's bid to oust
McCarthy, with the Florida Republican
accusing McCarthy of making a "side deal"
with Biden on Ukraine funding to get
Democratic support to avoid a government
shutdown. McCarthy, now the subject of
Gaetz's motion to vacate, has denied this
claim.
Biden, who has emphasized the importance of
funding Ukraine, was asked by a reporter on
Sunday if he was going to be able to trust
Speaker McCarthy when the next deal comes
around.
"We just made one about Ukraine", Biden
replied. "So, we'll find out".

The White House has since declined to clarify
what deal Biden had been referring to, or even
say if Biden and McCarthy had actually made
a deal at all. Rather, officials have pointed to
McCarthy’s public support for military aid to
Kyiv.

Why GOP should nominate Trump and force a vote.
One.
Many republicans in Congress will not vote for him. These will be primaried by 75m voters and sent packing.

Two.If Trump wins speakership, he gets full immunity for any speech on house floor. Jackboot Smith can then jump into a lake . All gag orders null and void.I think Trump can even don the gun he wanted to buy while in the house.

Three. Stolen elections. Reports rejected by courts are put on house records. Investigative agency FBI forced to testify why they covered up the 2020 coup.

Big lesson. Never trust democrats.
McCarthy struck a deal with democrats over govt shutdown funding. When he needed their votes, they turned 100% against jim.. That's how democracy works, McCarthy got voted after 15 rounds, he made promises he never kept, hoping all the time GOP would never use his simple single member motion move to oust the house speaker.

NEWS EV battery factory will require so much
energy it needs a coal plant to power it By Joe Kelley
October 02, 2023 at 4:52 pm EDT

The Biden administration’s efforts to transition
America away from fossil fuels has led to the
construction of a $4 billion Panasonic electric
vehicle battery factory in De Soto, Kansas.
The factory will require between 200 and 250
megawatts of electricity to operate (enough for small town) ,and as aresult, the utility will continue to burn coal at a power plant near Lawrence, Kansas, and delay plans to transition units at the plant to natural
gas.
This has caused environmental concerns, as
EVs require a lot of energy to produce and the
mining and factory processing produces a lot
of carbon dioxide emissions.
There is a growing recognition of the need for
coal to supply baseload power, and Rep.
Cyrus Western has noted that renewables are
a great source of auxiliary supplemental
power, but without a solid base load to ensure
a reliable energy supply, they don’t work.

Additionally, to help pay for the infrastructure
required to meet Panasonic’s anticipated
electricity demand, Evergy plans to ask the
Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) for a
rate increase on residential customers’ energy bills in parts of the state. The residents will forever pay for the new 8000 jobs to be created.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling on governments around the globe to criminalize so-called “climate inaction” with severe penalties for offenders. In a recent article from Klaus Schwab’s unelected organization, the WEF demands that failing to comply with the globalist green agenda should be classed as a “human rights violation.”
green agenda advocates, Democrats , and their allies in the corporate media are repeatedly pushing the narrative that the so- called “ climate crisis ” is “ killing people .” By making “climate inaction” a human rights violation, those found guilty of “denying” so- called “global warming” could be sentenced to the death penalty. The WEF goes on to argue that “climate deniers” are responsible for the “ record- breaking number of heat-related deaths.”
