re: #11 No Malarkey!

Putin’s minions in the House will definitely privilege a motion to vacate if he brings up a clean bill, but I think enough Democrats will vote for him in return for a clean Ukraine Bill to keep him in the Chair. He may feel he has no choice but bring it because Republicans who aren’t on Putin’s payroll are saying they will sign a discharge petition if he doesn’t.

Yeah: I dunno about that Discharge Petition: that it has gotten all but 20 or so Dems to sign was a good thing, but AFAICR, only one Republican did (Ken Buck, as a parting “FU”), and those 20 D holdouts are - to best of my knowledge - the leftmost caucus, and unwilling to push the Senate bill over the aid to Israel in it. Also, it doesn’t seem like too many, if any, House GOPers are truly willing to buck the Party Line (viz. the Mayorkas impeachment embarrassment), especially in an election year.
I sincerely hope to be be proved wrong.
