McCarthy Ousted from Position as Speaker of the House in Historic Vote

October 4, 2023 Guardian, An0maly, MSN and Gateway Pundit

Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz filed a motion against Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and eight hard-right Republicans joined 208 Democrats in supporting McCarthy’s removal, as 210 Republicans tried and failed to keep the speaker in place. Gaetz accused McCarthy of cutting a secret deal with Biden to fund Ukraine. Republican House Rules Committee member Thomas Massie objected to McCarthy’s removal and said that it was a referendum on the institution and the institution will fail. McCarthy’s ouster may cost Republicans their house majority.

Summary by JW Williams

Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz filed a motion against Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and eight hard-right Republicans joined 208 Democrats in supporting McCarthy’s removal, as 210 Republicans tried and failed to keep the speaker in place.

Gaetz sought McCarthy’s removal after the speaker worked with House Democrats to pass a stopgap spending bill, known as a continuing resolution, to extend government funding through November 17. Tuesday’s vote was the first to remove a House speaker in more than 100 years and the first successful such vote in American history.

Additional funding for Ukraine, a source of outrage on the right, was stripped from the bill. However, Gaetz accused McCarthy of cutting a “secret side deal” with Joe Biden on providing additional funding to Ukraine in the form of a stand alone bill set for a later date. McCarthy denied the existence of any secret deal.

Ukraine’s Prime Minister Is Now Ousted

 

Ukraine’s Prime Minister Is Now Ousted, as I Had Predicted on Jan. 15th

Posted on April 10, 2016 by Eric Zuesse.

Eric Zuesse

On Sunday, April 10th, Arseniy Yatseyuk, finally, officially resigned, though his actual service as Ukraine’s Prime Minister ended in the very closing days of December 2015. He had been selected by U.S. President Obama’s agent on Ukraine, Victoria Nuland, on 4 February 2014, to lead Ukraine as that country’s new Prime Minister — to lead it as soon as the Obama-planned Ukrainian coup overthrowing Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych would be completed (which happened 22 days later). 

As this reporter had noted on 15 January 2016, “Yats” (as Nuland affectionately called him) had been effectively ousted from power by the man, Petro Poroshenko, who had subsequently won the 25 May 2014 Ukrainian Presidential election, beating out Obama’s choice, Yulia Timoshenko (the head of Yats’s party), in the by-then rump Ukraine (i.e., without the participation of Crimea and Donbass, both of which areas of Ukraine had voted over 75% for Yanukovych and thus refused to accept Obama’s coup and the legitimacy of the Ukrainian ‘election’ to replace Yanukovych). 

As Ukraine’s new President, Poroshenko continued (and intensified) the bombing campaign that had been started by Yatsenyuk to slaughter the residents of Donbass (whom both he and Yatsenyuk called all ’terrorists’ for refusing to accept their coup-regime), and he repeatedly expressed his determination also to invade and retake Crimea. Obama supported Poroshenko on both matters, and so too did Yatsenyuk, who remained in power in Ukraine as Prime Minister until this April 10th.

As I had noted when reporting on this matter back on January 15th of this year, Yatsenyuk even at that time, “seems to have been ousted,” and:

The person who ousted him appears to have been the former CIA asset whom the U.S. Administration allowed to run as a candidate in Ukraine’s Presidential election on 25 May 2014, and who had won that election — the billionaire Petro Poroshenko. Poroshenko had assisted in the coup, and admitted it to the EU’s investigator who was sent right after the overthrow. (The information that it had been a coup instead of an authentic revolution came as a shock to the EU’s Foreign Affairs Minister.)

This apparent ouster was first reported by the TV channel 112 Ukraine, which is owned by a publicly unnamed anti-coup politician, whom the government has been trying to dispossess of the channel, but hasn’t yet succeeded in achieving that.

Furthermore. I noted:

Prime Minister Yatsenyuk’s official website appears remarkably empty now. Its “Upcoming Events” page shows nothing at all. The “News” page is also interesting. On January 15th, the only headline is “Ukraine launched a new Silk Road bypassing Russia.” That news-item doesn’t even mention Yatsenyuk.

From that time till his official resignation four months later, Yatsenyuk’s office achieved nothing; and, finally, he succumbed, which will now enable Poroshenko to name his replacement.

According to German Economic News, which is the most reliable in-depth news-source on such matters, the U.S. President’s “new favorite [to become Ukraine’s Prime Minister] is the former Georgian President Saakashvili, who now acts as governor of Odessa. Several months ago, Saakashvili called ‘Jaz’ the center of corruption in Kiev, and demanded dismissal of the entire political elite in Kiev. Saakashvili is considered one of the favorites to succeed Yatsenyuk. He is the subject of an international arrest warrant for allegedly having embezzled the former Soviet state, Georgia’s, government, while he was their President.”

Saakashviili might be favored by U.S. President Obama because, after Saakashvili escaped from Georgia, he lived in the United States, where he nurtured political contacts, especially in ‘neo-conservative’ circles (of which Obama and especially Hillary Clinton are members). (Victoria Nuland, and her husband, both strong ‘neo-conservatives,’ are also close friends of Ms. Clinton.) This is also the reason why the U.S. regime had Poroshenko appoint the Georgian Saakashvili to be the Governor of the Ukrainian region of Odessa. That’s a region where the public, especially in the city of Odessa, have been especially bitter against the Obama-coup regime, because of the White-House-Yatsenyuk team’s massacre of over a hundred coup-opponents at the House of Trade Unions in Odessa on 2 May 2014.

So: whereas Obama had replaced the corrupt Yanukovych with the even more corrupt Yatsenyuk, and then allowed onto the team Poroshenko (who was only acceptable to Obama, not preferred by him to become President), the expectation is now that the accused Georgian embezzler Saakashvili will soon become Yatsenyuk’s replacement — all courtesy of the U.S. government, and with the support of its European allies: all allegedly seeking here to ‘clean up the corruption in Ukraine’. Poroshenko, who has a lower approval-rating among even just the rump-Ukrainian public — Ukraine without the portions that had voted at the highest percentages, as high as 90+%, for Yanukovych, and which would thus now disapprove almost 100% of Poroshenko — than Yanukovych ever had, in the entirety of Ukraine (including those, Yanukovych’s highest-approval, areas), and so whose approval rating is by far lower than Yanukovych’s ever was, is now to be making the decision to choose the replacement of the man who had started the bombing campaign against Donbass.

Whomever Poroshenko chooses to replace “Yats” will presumably be committed to whatever U.S. President Obama wants him to be committed to, because, otherwise, the bankrupt Ukrainian government won’t continue to be able to go deeper and deeper into debt. Without the U.S. President’s backing, Ukraine’s government won’t be able to continue to be funded by the taxpayers in the U.S. and EU — absorbing the losses from a Ukrainian government whose only real product now is the further impoverishment of the publics not only in Ukraine but throughout the West. Saakashvili, according to German Economic News, will likely fill the bill.

Irish exit polls show ruling coalition government likely ousted

The Irish prime minister's coalition looks set to fall well short of re-election for a second term. An unusual alliance with Fina Gael's historical rival, Fianna Fail, appears to be the only route to power.

Difficult Coalition negotiations in Ireland ahead if this exit poll holds in terms of seats won tomorrow #GE16

6:03 PM - 26 Feb 2016

Vote counting gets underway at 9 a.m. local time (0900 UTC) on Saturday.

An exit poll for the Irish Times showed support for Prime Minister Enda Kenny's Fine Gael had slumped from 36.1 percent in the last general election to 26.1 percent. Its Labour Party coalition partner gathered only 8 percent support, well below the 19.5 percent it achieved in the 2011 election.

The two parties' combined poll of 34 percent, if confirmed in the count, would fall well short of the 42 percent that Finance Minister Michael Noonan said would be needed to form a government. Even alliances with independent candidates or smaller parties would probably leave too large a gap to achieve a majority in the Dáil (parliament).

"If the final result is close to the exit poll predictions, the Fine Gael-Labour coalition will be far short of the numbers required to form a majority government," the Irish Times wrote.

Unusual alliance?

Kenny may therefore be obliged to make an alliance with its historical rival, the Fianna Fail party, which increased its vote to 22.9 percent. That is a significant rise over the 17 percent it achieved in 2011.

Michael Ring, a junior minister for Fine Gael, told Newstalk radio that such an alliance would have to be considered if the exit poll proves accurate.

The complexity of the single transferrable vote system makes it difficult to provide an accurate prediction of the number of seats which will be won by the various parties.

If the numbers are confirmed in the count, Fianna Fail could reach its target of 40 seats in the Dail. This would represent a major achievement for party leader Micheal Martin.
