The optics of everything means trump won't be speaker. For the mil to publicly step in, it's got to look like gov, all 3 branches, have broken down. Trump isn't going to be running a house that flounders.
If the scotus decision nullifies 2020, it also nullifies the same nonsense in 22. Not just bidan, but all his appointments, his bills signed, his EOs… it's a COG nightmare. And all the other federal offices which were on the same faulty ballots. So many people nullified, nobody knows who's even left to run things, much less if they choose to accept it or ignore the court and pretend they are going to run things anyway. Chaos so bad ppl will beg mil to step in to prevent war.
And trump is playing them. He first endorsed Mccarthy. Then the challenges forced the DS to expend a bunch of political capital on getting him in, while trump waffled. Now that they spent their cards for Mccarthy, trump re-endorsed him. It's a cat playing with a mouse. But now the DS congresscritters know they're the mouse, and they don't know what to do now. Trump signaled he's got them where he wants them, and now that they've begged to be in the trap, they can't get out.
Hey 3 second Dan, trump is FORCING them to move their pieces on the chess table. That's the sign of who's actually in control.
