Boehner Resignation Update: BREAKING: Kevin McCarthy says he's running for House speaker!!!p.28

After the waterworks show with the Pope, I figured something was weighing heavily on his mind. Guess he couldn't keep up the devil's work. Whatever they have planned, his conscience wouldn't let him be a part of it. Doom officially ON!!

Adding a few things up for conversation. The following has happened all in the last 24 hours.

-Boehner abruptly resigns. Not retires at end of term, resigns.

-Fed chief Yellen has what appears to be a minor stroke mid speech yesterday.

-Hillary Clinton illness floated as reason for lack of public debate. Very ill looking picture plastered on Drudge.

-First time in history a Pope addresses congress. UN speech very next day.

Could the stress cracks before the explosion be showing now?

I'm gonna take a guess at why he is really leaving......

LIVER FAILURE!

What you fail to understand is that the middle class entrepreneurs who create all the jobs ARE "the rich" that the envious-left refers to !!!!!!! You and I both know the middle class is not really "rich" but you and I also know that the envious-left thinks ANYONE who has enough money to start their own company is among "the rich" who must be shamed and abused into paying far more than "their fair share" without getting ANYTHING in return for the extra money they pay.

WOW

What is the real story here??!?

Has Astro cashed in his NASA ticket to NORAD bunkerdom?

I think we should be told!

exactly

Astro, are you posting from your luxury suite deep in Iron Mountain?

I doubt the Pope 'fired' him, but it is odd that it coincides with the Pope's visit. You'd think he'd wait until the Pope left, given how big a fan Boehner supposedly is, because he's taking headlines away from the Pope now.

I agree. In fact, this announcement has utterly STUNNED me. Moreover, it WORRIES ME profoundly.

Making it doubly worse in my view is that he's not merely resigning as Speaker of the House, he's quitting Congress altogether! ! ! I see this as a "rat fleeing a sinking ship." In my personal opinion, Boehner knows the end is nigh for the United States economy and wants to be gone when the SHTF.

The United States federal budget runs from October 1 through September 30. That's our "fiscal year."

A new budget must be approved by Congress prior to September 1 otherwise there is no legal authority for any agency of government to spend any money. What if Boehner has been told there will not be enough money AND the federal reserve will no longer monetize federal debt????? That means fifty percent of what the government presently SPENDS, will not be available for spending! ! ! !

Think about what a fifty percent cut in federal spending would have to include: Social Security, Disability, Medicare, Food Stamps/SNAP/WIC. Without these things, 46 million Americans on food stamps will riot; senior citizens will come out of the woodwork in protest (and hunger) . . . we'll see horrific social chaos.

This Boehner resignation is a VERY bad omen.

VERY, VERY bad!

I guess being a leader in a party that continually puts the ultra rich over the poor has taken it's toll on the mans soul. Least he has time to repent no good Catholic could be involved with a doctrine that hostile to the poor. All Republicans go to hell well known fact. Ask the Democratic demons.

Why wait for him to resign?

Push his ass out.

October 30th is too late.

He'll be sitting on his ass doing nothing until then while Planned Parenthood gets its funding, Iran gets it's nuke deal, and Obama continues to show more commitment to his twisted, leftist agenda than idiot RINOs like Boehner have for the conservative agenda.

PUSH HIS ASS OUT NOW!

Why wait?

Dudes I am dying to know what the real story is here. This is unheard of- they've got serious goods on Boehner. Wonder if he has a cushy consulting/lobbying job lined up?

You do realize that the most ultra wealthy members of Congress are dems, right?

If you listen really closely, there is audio. a reporter just made a phone call saying they're being told he will not be coming to the microphone or making a statement.

Usually I come to Glp and read the days headlines and leave depressed<
