What do you all think it means with regard to the probability of a government shutdown?
The grass roots conservative wing of the GOP that won both the House and Senate in the last elections is mad as a Bull Moose in rutting season over the Cuckservative wing of the GOP sucking up to Obama on every one of his initiatives to weaken the USA and crush the middle class and destroy the success factors of white European families in the USA being support of all things pro Obamunist Marxist Feminist LGBTQstds SJWs.
I am pro choice yet planned parenthood dissecting beating baby body parts on videos describing the marketability of various organs and tissues was worse than anything Dr. Nazi Megele did in the concentration camps of WWII and is a sign of just how depraved the Obamunist in Chief and his army of LGBTQ SJWs have become.
I suspect Boenher's resignation virtually guarantees a government shutdown if for no other reason than to stop Obama now before he can do anymore serious damage with unfettered Executive Orders and Executive branch shenanigans in favor of crimalien immigration and sanctuary cities, arming ISIS, accepting ISIS warrior refugees for resettlement in White European Christian neighborhoods to make the USA a minotity majority country as soon as possible etc., etc.
This is likely to topple the zero interest false real estate and stock markets boom...
Is it any wonder than Obama is meeting with the Pope this week for a moral whitewash and then the Chinese Premier and Vladimir Putin next week - they all know the proverbial shite is about to hit the global economic fan and Boenher wants to cash in now and set up himself and his family with a cushy post Congress gig perhaps as a $1 Million dollar plus annual salaried University Presidency and or board memberships. Offers he has likely been holding in his back pocket for a while now and since Boehner just had his triumphal Capital Hill Papal visit victory lap now is his time to bug out in survival mode.
I disagree with your analysis. Boenher is now free from political pressure. He can get a CR through with democrat support that funds the government until atleast december.
Boenher announcing this allows him to say 'fuck you' to the freedom caucus and rubberstamp anything McConnel sends over. Remember, JB is not a tea partier.
As for the next speaker, odds on favorite right now is Kevin McCarthy, who is just like Cantor or Boehner. McMorris-Rogers is another option, but she is the same as well.
The PP stuff is a stupid hill to die on for the R's. Over in the senate this week, McConnel put up a bill that would defund PP and it failed with 8 R's crossing over to vote with the D's. D's didn't even need a filibuster, that was straight up-down vote and they could peel off enough R's. There are atleast four republicans that will go against it in the Sen - Ayotte, Collins, Kirk, Murkowski.
Remember JB supports the senate comprehensive immigration bill as well - he could take that up also and say 'fuck you' to the freedom caucus again.
He really has nothing to lose and in fact will get rewarded monetarily when he leaves the hill if he took this course of action.
