Thanks for the great rundown Belle! There was no way i was going to listen to Rev. Mikey's acceptance speech. I heard Jeffries later and was so glad he made a point of warning about any cuts to social security, veterans benefits and other federal benefits for workers. A good move on his part prepping for the midterms.
Jeffries isn't just prepping for the midterms. Standing with veterans and federal workers in their very immediate concerns with being robbed and abused will pay off immediately. Strikes and standoffs are coming and he needs to project an alternate moral authority -- just like the opposition in South Korea.
@@simplytruth9729 A vast majority of MAGAts sold their souls as "club dues" in 2015. There can't be many souls left on the market. One would think the price would quite high, based on scarcity.

She is now retired. Her replacement was voted in Nov. and sworn in today. The current crop gets to vote for speaker before taking the oath of office and then are sworn in for the two year term And Kay will be in the home without knowing anything about it likely. She will draw her pension and have her lifetime health insurance. Also Boebert will be vested with her pension this term. If she had failed to get elected she would not be entitled to the retirement benefits. That is why she shifted districts. She knew she had no chance in the old one.

If I remember correctly, getting the speakership on the first vote shouldn't even be an impressive feat. Most speakers in most congresses can manage it.

Johnson is completely on a leash. Never his own man, always beholden to the fiscal hawks, and to Trump. It's a no win situation for Johnson, and he will get a motion to vacate at some point.
Who finances this guy anyway? He claims to not have no bank account and owns no property. Still think there is a bad smell to the guy.

So, with two “independent committees” set on saving our taxpayer money I’m wondering…where are the funds to pay these non-governmental entities? Perhaps it’s simply quid pro quo and won’t cost us taxpayers anything? 🙄🥴🤣

So, with two committees on government efficiency, they will have to create another committee to coordinate their actions and act as a tie-breaker when there are disagreements.
The fiscal conservatives who wanted the real estate developer to run the country like a business didn't account for real estate being a highly leveraged industry
So, to understand, the "fiscal hawks" got not 1, but 2 independent panels to look at government efficiency and waste. That means those committees will have to hire staff to do the legwork. And they have no power to make changes. Are we sure that the biggest government waste is in the social, military, environmental, and other executive branch offices? Sounds to me like maybe that title should go to the GOP House.
Never ceases to amaze me how, just when you think conservative politics has reached the greatest level of disfunction, they somehow manage to go the next step. Sigh.....

It will get much worse for Johnson when Trump is sworn in and two of the House members that voted for him leave to take their cabinet positions- leaving Johnson with just 217 GOP members vs 215 Dems until special elections replace those empty seats.
It will be interesting to see how those independent panels and Musk/Ramaswamy decide to reduce the debt while addressing the credit crisis (trump's 10% interest max). When banks don't get paid and can't charge higher interest, they tighten credit, which slows the economy and stock market, and they write off the bad loans against their taxes, which reduces money flowing into the government. Wheeeee!
That's one of the levers someone will jump on. The chaotic incoming president is going to try jumping on as many levers as possible. THIS is where people can let their federal politicians know the support, or lack of, actually is.
This is really bad news for the economy. The fiscal hawks gained power they did not have before. Anyone with a view to history or an education in economics knows that Austerity only works when the economy is booming and should be used. Austerity when the economy is in a bubble is bad, really bad and is as foolish as the crazy concept known as trickle down economics. If they try to cut the budget hard just as the bubbles are on the verge of popping, it will destroy the economy and might even damage the dollar on the global stage. This is bad and looking to get worse. We have already had a bond inversion and the FED has already messed with the Repo window. This is exactly where we were in October of 2019 just before the election with all signs on a depression starting in March of 2020 but the pandemic hit and the bailout for that covered up the disaster that would have happened anyway without the pandemic. Not good, not good at all. Will Trump pilot us through as Biden did or will he fumble it? My bet is on the latter.
Just make sure to remind every maggat that "this is what you voted for". Bland, disinterested tone, don't give them an excuse for thought-cancelling anger.

Not good, not good at all. Will Trump pilot us through as Biden did or will he fumble it? My bet is on the latter.

Just make sure to remind every maggat that "this is what you voted for". Bland, disinterested tone, don't give them an excuse for thought-cancelling anger. The noise machine will go into absolute overdrive trying to shift the blame onto transgender immigrants or whatever. Do not let them escape the fact that "this is what you voted for". And remind non-voters that "you didn't vote against this".
None of this feels legal?
I guess His Majesty will have no wheels for his carriage.
Belle, thank you for reporting on Johnson’s speakership win.
And what shenanigans were required to clinch it.
"That didn't sound very 'efficient.'" LOL!
Thank you for the ongoing, excellent reporting.
Thanks for the clarification . I knew there was something, but I couldn’t figure it out!
The GOP did not want to look stupid on Monday, January 6, if they could not approve Trump’s election.
I 100 percent guarantee the he will never pay for any of his crimes. Nor will he pay the court fines, and the money he owes the places he held rallies in. That’s who he is. But the American taxpayers will be paying for everything
Thank you,Belle.😎🇺🇸💙
Good, clear perspective. Thanks
Informative video as always. Thanks for all the work You do Belle and the Team :)
Morning, Mrs. Belle!
He interrupted his GOLF GAME!!!
I can only imagine the threats and bullying coming from Trump in these kinds of calls.
Changed their minds after a consultation in the "Cloak Room?"
Now we know, MAGA Mike swallows 😂
Should have wiped the evidence of the "deal" off his chin before coming out of the closet.
Counting to ten, on the other hand, would have been a surprise...
Thanks!
I actually find it a surprise when right wingers can count to four, nonetheless nine.
Belle O'clock Ranchhands, good night 😴. I hope you each rest well this night.
Goodnight Mary Beth! I hope your sleep is peaceful and your dreams are happy ones!
I had a good, kind day. I’m feeling happy. Thanks to you all
@katboss4886 Thanks for saying - you all instead of the hick version.
@@lotanerve I’ve lived up north & down south. I don’t judge & do use y’all some times. I just have a habit with grammar but it falls by the wayside in messages sometimes 😀
@@katboss4886 Even though I've heard that for years and years, I've never used the shorthand when the time it takes to spell it out is negligible.
The fiscal hawks can count to nein.
There is never any cost to Trump.
My main fear is of the executive orders. Because he's gonna flex those as long as he can. And as hard as he can.
The work that they're doing well. Inspire the right-wing crazy people to hurt people. That's what I'm concerned about, so it's not just what they do there, it's what we'll rippel effect to the country.
I pray that ordinary folks in Florida and Texas, especially, will find courage to stand up to the bullying from all levels of government they have.
@@Winspur1982what will it take to wake people up to their potential when they stick together?
Rumor has it that Heritage Fascism/P2025 already has a stack of EOs to further their Reich ready to sign.
How hard will it be to con a stupid, senile, egomaniacal, narcissist, to sign every one of them without reading or understanding a single one of them?
@@Winspur1982 They're getting what they voted for. Null sympathy.
I figured there was more to it than the victory across the board narrative that’s being spread around. The change in the motion to vacate from one to nine is vitally important. Thank you, Ms. Belle, once again, for showing us what’s happening behind the curtain. I’m not going to start calling you Toto, though. Aren’t you relieved? ❤😉
"Cost" these day seems to not matter.
Well, t**** has Musk's money to spend.
Evenin’ Miss Belle and internet peeps
Thanks for this explanation Belle.
Thank You Belle and Team for the News Highlights and Observations of the coming Chaos of The trump🤡 regime.
🦉Good night!🦉
@@donaldrambo5150 g'nite
Goodnight good Donald! Sleep deep and dream blissful dreams!
Goodnight! Sleep well 😴
Have happy beautiful dreams of whatever brings you joy 🏈🦅🧀🐿️✌️
thanks, Belle.
Thank you for providing additional informational. I hadn't read about the additional 6 who withheld their votes
Bullied and bought, for sure
I love that tee in the back. I feel like this all the time.
Hello peeps 🐥. I can’t believe I saw most of the vote. Never paid attention to this before. Didn’t see any salmon but it was good to commune with nature today.
Are you near the Klamath Kat? I know other rivers might have salmon, but that one I'm sure about. Wherever you were that you could have seen salmon still sounds like a beautiful part of the world!
@ No I am in the middle of Sonoma Actually the middle of my small town. I have gone to the salmon breeding facility in Sonoma County which is wild seeing them come back up. Even during drought times. We are just excited around here that they have been seen here in the last couple of weeks in Nathanson & Sonoma Creek. Creek, stream clean up has made a difference 😀
@@katboss4886
I've am unfamiliar with California, so I Googled. ;-)
Very pretty place to be planted in!
I'm happy for you!
That's what in Bavarian we call 'bathing the line' 😅
@@katboss4886I once documented the work at the local salmon hatchery on the river Shannon over a full cycle to the release of several tubs of smallies into the river. It was a fascinating project and I came to absolutely adore these fishes.
Count to 9? Actually it does come as a surprise. I would have bet against them having that ability. Where did they get this comic-book super-power from?
