The Republican battle for Speaker of the House of Representatives continues with multiple factions competing for influence. The sausage making inside the GOPe conference is doing what that sausage makers in the GOPe conference always do. There’s a lot of opposition to Kevin McCarthy and the vast majority of it is well deserved.
Yes, the swamp is doing swampy things, and yes, it’s a hot mess. But that’s also what happens in a two-party congress within a constitutional republic where members from very different states end up arguing for position based on an ideology that varies wildly. Notice that if you get rid of the two-party system, all of this stuff seemingly evaporates. Funny how the people who construct the two-party system don’t want us to notice that.
In this video, Marjorie Taylor Greene, a representative who supports the MAGA agenda and Kevin McCarthy for speaker, calls out some of the well-known voices in the GOPe apparatus who are doing swampy things. WATCH:
.
I would suggest not getting emotionally invested in any of this internecine arguing. If you have let your congressional representative know your expectation, the only thing we can do is watch it play out.
NOW THEY KNOW THEY ALL HAVE TO CHECK IN WITH AMERICA FIRST 🇺🇸

Well praise the Lord for that!
Gaetz 100% gets it. There’s little left to lose.
The Republic has already fallen. It’s either rebellion (legit exposure of corruption) or GTFO.
—–
100%. We literally have nothing to lose for them to continue stone walling McCarthy. I normally like MTG, but I don’t know where the hell she is coming from on this. I’ll take absolute gridlock over one more damn election cycle with a swamp captain at the helm. I am personally enjoying the look of McCarthy twisting in the wind.
I am very disappointed in Trump for supporting that clown. When will he learn these types of characters will never support the MAGA agenda? It’s as though this has all happened once before…..
I think Trump knows more about politics than anyone here.
How many losses are we going to endure with that thinking? Trump is a great man, but he is still just a man.
He has very consistently been wrong when it comes to personnel. If that is political accumen, then it sure explains our current state of affairs.
I can’t do the 4D chess thing any more. It looks too much like losing from the ground.
With 95% of the US government and its politicians against you in some way, it’s not gonna be smooth. Trump had to play the cards he was dealt, and made mistakes. I would be more mad about the snakes that told him Bolton and Barr were trustworthy. If you start a job and the whole company hates you the minute you clock in, there will be problems, but he’s still the only one who has ever shined a light on DC politics for the people. That alone was worth having him in charge.
Amen?
By your logic, if all the governmental apparatus is against him, which it is even more so now than it was before, why should anyone think he will succeed in getting elected a second time, let alone accomplish anything new?
Folks here just arent seeing the situation for what it is. Trump is done. Desantis sucks, and we have no representation.
That’s not logic, that has played out before our eyes since 2016. Geez, they’re STILL investigating and harrassing him. Yes. the deck is stacked against him, but I’ll go down with someone I trust rather than win with some mealy mouthed squish who promises everything and delivers nothing. You’ll get your stage full of candidates and you’ll pick one. That’s how it works. I choose Trump. You can have the ‘we’re just screwed”mentality. I’m gonna go with the “burn it all down on the way out the door” mentality. Neither may work, but that’s life. We only have a few options, you’ll have to choose what’s best for you. I’m going down swinging rather than let establishment snakes pretend to serve me….
Lol, going down swinging. Oh yes, just one more election cycle, and then the pitchforks will come out, cause Trump!
You still think you are gonna vote your way out of this. That isn’t how this ends my friend.
This comment board is getting more sycophantic all the time.
Realizing the reality of the situation isn’t about feeling screwed and giving up, its about understanding reality to use a different strategy. You do you Frosty.
Im thinking about the actual future, not the imaginary one where Trump single-handedly saves the nation in a powdered wig and triple-horn hat.
Trump is a great man,but I am weary of the faux deification of the man.
Don’t forget Sessions ,and Mad Dog 🤔
Absolute gridlock will land a Democrat as Speaker. Then JWHY you can have something else to be stiff necked about.
Yeah, go ahead and give the RINOs what they want a few more times…maybe that will work out eventually. A lack of stiff-necked-ness is exactly why we are in this spot. Oh,and Trumps endorsement of Mcphoney is great, cause Trump’s personnel picks are always spot on. Oh, wait….
1. MTG got a promise from McCarthy to once again get committee appointments (after she was stripped of such assignments her 1st term because of things she said as a stupid teenager).
2. McCarthy agreed to do what Pres. Trump wanted–whatever it was.
McCarthy has been in a leadership role for 14 yrs. Any time we’ve had the majority in the House in those yrs, little has been changed in favor of the American people.
McCarthy, Paul Ryan & Ronna McDaniel are why we lost the House in 2018, didn’t get it back in 2020 & no red wave in the House in 2022.
So I’m relieved that a few House members are showing backbone. Frankly, the 20 are exposing just how bad it is among their RINO colleagues & that’s why the name-calling has started.
Go Getz and company. Do not give in.
Thanks for seeing this situation clearly. Lots of folks here seem to think that getting RINO rolled again is going to get us where we want to go. That hasn’t worked so far. Time for a new strategy.
This is why Trump will soon be history. He failed to drain the swamp, he encouraged everyone to get an experimental shot that ends up killing people and he put up with Fauci locking us down and destroying the economy.
Yup, exactly. The buck is supposed to stop at the top,but there seem to be a never ending line of apologists for Trump, ignoring the major failings that occurred on his watch.
Trump did accomplish great things, but this is about the future,not the past.
The first step in changing is to make a change. McCarthy is just another swamp critter. I’m tired of being told to suck it up and let the establishment do their thing over and over again.
MTG is a FIREBRAND! Bring the HEAT MTG! it’s time to burn that swamp down-i’ll take the pain now thank you very much.
??Isn’t she supporting RINO McCarthy?
Who do you want? SJH….speak out loud for your top pick and remember they better be good at the game of politics. Trump found out the hard way that politics is a dirty game.
Plenty of people this morning think they know how D.C. works and yet, I haven’t read any support for anyone….I have only read that McCarthy is a RINO. Well, so are about 95% of the Republicans elected to reside in the Senate and House of Representatives. Stop trying to be above board….that is not how the game is played.
Jim Jorden would make a great speaker.
We always end up the losers at the end of each “game”. Time to change the channel and do it different. This is actual democracy in action. Every day on the hill should be a fight like this. Every bill, every spending request, every CR. Sadly this is the only day like this in the last 2 years because they play the “game” every single day. I’m over it. Burn it down or force out the chumps. Many feel this way, as they should after the last 8 years
Sorry Sato, that is a lot of hot air. This system is corrupt to the core, so playing these kinds of silly games arent going to accomplish squat, just like it hasnt in the past.
No one here has to put a name out for speaker in order to agree that McCarthy is not the man for the job.
She’s not burning anything down, she’s calling the fire department to put out the fire for the establishment. Quite the opposite
I’m very surprised MTG is supporting rino McCarthy!!!
I believe MTG was a fool letting the neocon tool Milo Yiannopolis get close to her, Lauren Southern exposed his getting close to people so he could record them in some embarrassing moment and blackmail them. I think the reason she and her husband divorced was to try and protect her husband and kids from whatever Yiannopolis had on her. Yiannopolis was brought to the US by the neocon never Trump Mercers who took of Breitbart after Andrew’s death to try and stop what became MAGA.
Wow, I didn’t know they divorced over all the BS coming their way. That’s so unfortunate.
Well, Mary, your story this morning is interesting. But, who do you want to be speaker? Lots of opinions but no suggestions. I guess we will just have to settle for a Democrat since they seem to be the only game in town that hangs together and get things done….
Only explanation I can come up with is because Trump did.
Plus, she seems to believe Jeffries or Cheney could end up as Speaker. Suggests she doesn’t trust some people in her caucus
Who do you want Stephanie. Criticism is not worth much this morning and problem solving is lacking….
I’ll say it again: “95% of those elected Republicans in the Senate and House are RINOs.” So, I ask again, who do you want?
Gaetz speech begins at 15 seconds
.
Media whore Jordan doesn’t want the job.
Troll?
If Trump wants to be a disrupter he might tweet on Twitter for McCarthy to step down
And McConnell too while he’s at it.
bogo special
Trump has to keep his powder dry. This is one dog fight he would be wise to sit out.
I tend to agree generally. But “powder dry” also loses many battles that accumulate.
scenario, version 2.0: Trump is elected President 2024, and must face with mccarthy AND mcconnell, who would definitely aim their full political (and other) force to contain him, and continue to undermine maga.
President Trump would do well to clear HIS PATH. Whether he does so, is going to signal for me and others whether he will be able to accomplish those MAGA promises or not.
mccarthy in my view IS worse than paul ryan for the tea party/maga movement.
a speaker can set gavels and rules. A speaker can undermine or support a president of the united states unlike any other member of congress.
if President Trump resists the need to voice his opposition, he will have to endure that opposition, and frankly, it would be a disappointment considering so much is at stake being silent on the sidelines and not getting immediately involved.
I am of the view that is not wise to sit this out. There is nothing to be gained by sitting this one out, only negatives.
President Trump is many things FOR ME. Being respected AND feared in the halls of corruption in DC is action.
powder dry is also another way of compromising the very power that you can use, while the enemy sees the weakness and does not have to do anything to fight against a power never used.
simpler: when is now?
McConnell is a known enemy and Trump risks nothing attacking him. But McCarthy does have loyalists and supporters–who Trump will need if by some miracle of Heaven he is re-elected.
Now, I think that miracle won’t happen, but that’s another comment for another time.
Hey, Max.. you just DID comment!
Trump attacks McConnell on Truth Social all the time!
Trump endorsed McCarthy for speaker. Now you expect him to “voice his opposition?”
Trump also said that opposing McCarthy could lead to a democrat speaker or Liz Cheney or worse.
Now Gaetz and Boebert are both saying they don’t care if they end up with a Democrat. This is the definition of insanity.
It is not. It is the definition fo courage and refusing to bow to the swamp. There is no difference between McCarthy and a democrat. Let them own it. Make them reveal themselves for who they are. MTG has been bought.
Sad, but true.
Have no idea how committees would work with a Dem speaker and a GOP majority, but can only assume more harassment of Trump and no subpoena power to go after Biden, et al
That’s all a scare tactic to get the establishment guy in to keep control of the GOP. Same people who tell us Ukraine is winning and refuse to address election fraud. “Just submit to us dammit!”
Sometimes you have to just shut down the status quo and let the chips fall where they may. The democrat speaker thing is a false argument to scare ya’ll into submission. Vote for the status quo establishment rats that hung out everyone after the 2020 fraud? Then what? Fuss for the next 2 years how nothing significant gets done? I say burn it down or it’ll be more of the same. The GOP is dysfunctional by design.
I do believe that even an ordinary citizen can be elected as the Speaker of the House.
Democrats, socialists and communist have done a mighty fine job ruining our country as it was. Now everyone distrust everyone and nothing can be done. I think we just think we are opposition to the Democrat Socialists but we are nothing. We are proving that over the past 24 hours.
So, go with the guy who has walked away from every hard fight he’s ever came up against?
Fake 3 year Mueller investigation
2020 pre-election rules changes
Mass mail in voting
2020 election fraud
BLM Riots
Endless checks to Ukraine
Vaccine mandates
Lockdowns
The distrust in the establishment leadership of the GOP has been well earned.
I guess if we just submit to the same people, they will do a 180 “This time”
You sound like a battered wife who just won’t rock the boat and go through the hell it takes to get to a good place. I say burn the whole thing to the ground….
YOU are so right!
“Now Gaetz and Boebert are both saying they don’t care if they end up with a Democrat. This is the definition of insanity.” Why are these loons making headlines. Are they paid off by the FBI/CIA?
I have always found Jim Jordan to be a “good” guy and I think he knows the territory better than anyone posting today. Listen to Jim is your best bet.
I can’t believe all of you and even maybe Sundance have forgotten how Jordan was punished for seeking the gavel years ago. Of course he has to stand down. If McCarthy steps aside, the real fight will start. Too much vindictive punishment for dissent. Listen to common sense, not ANY politician. A win with yet another rat is just kicking the can down the road. Remember Graham was gonna “Get to the bottom ” of the Russia hoax?. He did nothing for 2 years. You want more of that, just to say you have some sort of fake control? NOBODY on the Hill supported us voting for Trump as nominee. Imagine if we’d have listened then. We’d have had Cankles for 4 years
I don’t want to rain on people’s parades but we need to get realistic. Trump will not become president.
We have to think and envision through different paradigms. There’s no ‘established’ way out of this.
Still would vote for Trump if given a chance.
Nonsensical comment.
It’s Trump or stay home for me. I don’t care who doesn’t like it. I’ll never vote for any establishment pic until I trust the establishment, which won’t be any time soon. I’d rather have a Trump loss at this time than back a spineless GOPe pick. They all walked away from us after the 2020 steal, and I’ll never forgive them. Burn. It. To. The. Effin. Ground
Trump kept his powder dry on Russiagate and now they’ve stolen his evidence.
He keeps his powder dry way too long REPEATEDLY and it costs him.
For the record, Trump was faced with an impossible situation.
Had he released the evidence that would have proved his innocence, the Mueller inquisition would have filed obstruction charges, the House would have filed impeachment charges, and the Senate WOULD have convicted him. Even Lindsey Graham–frequent golfing partner of PDJT–warned Trump that “interfering” in the Mueller “investigation” would be a guaranteed impeachment.
Game over.
Trump made LOTS of mistakes, but he had no choice in “keeping his powder dry” on the Russia-gate stuff. Sundance has extensively covered the corruption, deceit and duplicity of Senate Republicans in this regard.
The Elites get away with what they get away with because they can. It’s all about power and the willingness to use it.
They are–we don’t. It’s that simple.
Would impeachment really have been worse than an election stolen in the open? At least the evidence would have been public. And the impeachment supporters would have to face their constituents.
And the impeachment supporters would have to face their constituents.
You mean like they did in the 2022 midterm elections when a dead man (democrat), and brain-dead ogre (democrat), and valley-girl idiot (democrat) were
electedselected ?We know PDJT is innocent.
There is more than enough evidence in the public domain.
Our adversaries know PDJT is innocent,, since they were the ones who framed him.
More evidence will make no difference.
First of all…Trump does not tweet! He Truths! Secondly, Maximus-Cassius is correct, Trump needs to steer clear of all the revealing information that is coming out so that it does not appear to be vengeance backed so the media can jump start their never Trump train again. He can affirm matters and events or draw attention to them afterwards, but for optics…he needs to stay clean! He’s our President and we want him back in the White House…with America behind him.
Trump does not use Twitter. He uses Truth Social.
Or throw his hat in the ring for Speaker.
How many times will they vote?
Until McCarthy wins is my best guess.
McCarthy is toast. He had his chance to make a deal with his opponents. Didn’t get it done.
mcCarthy is the swamp. We all know that. He’s been in leadership for 6+ years (really more). And, yet he couldn’t stop the senate from passing the spending bill? Either he’s complicit with it (most likely) or he’s ineffective as a leader and couldn’t get the senate to NOT pass the bill. Again, either he’s disrespected by the senate or he’s complicit. In any regard, it makes him toxic and cannot and should not be elected speaker. The argument that the senate needed to pass this because they didn’t think anything could get passed with a republican house is nonsense. What they (the senate) mean is, they can’t pass ridiculous spending bills with any MAGA house in charge.
Scalise would be a poor compromise. He’s just as much of the swamp.
The rule where 5 congressmen could call for a new election IS a GREAT rule, it’ll keep the speaker accountable, which of course, the swamp doesn’t want.
My money would be on McConnell told McCarthy that they were going to give the Dems their budget so that it would give McCarthy the cover he needs not to get anything done.
And that McCarthy went along with it.
The RINO establishment would rather lose power in order to preserve themselves than gain power and be held to account for their decisions and actions.
Dead on. Managed decline.
Winning with these people isn’t really winning
Meanwhile… 😂
It appears to me that both wings of the uniparty vulture (R&D) appear to be fighting over what is left to pick off the carcass of the (once great but now dead) United States of America. The TRAITORS are only interested in enriching themselves, their families and their friends. To hell with them all!

Marjorie owns stock in 3 vaccine makers.
She is from Explore Talent where many of Congress got their start.
I trust none of them.
Folks do your research, these people are not who they ‘pretend’ to be.
I own stock in “I don’t know what” because it’s all in my 401k.
The investment amounts indicated are not all that large and are probably part of something else. Troll somewhere else. You didn’t do research. You just read the headline. TRY AGAIN.
https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/financial-pdfs/2020/10042733.pdf
This is the actual filing. I see a WIDE WIDE WIDE range of small investments which speaks to the results of some investment management organization running her investment portfolio.
Now it might be worth asking her why those are listed… including Blackrock which is FAR more questionable than others I see on that list. But it’s not quite worth condemning her over it without knowing more.
That article is a hit piece and you are a troll.
Truth isn’t trolling.
Taylor Greene isn’t MAGA and never has been.
Explore Talent listed Marjorie as one of their ‘own’ & now she’s a CONgress critter, it’s easy to verify.
You haven’t done your research, why so defensive?
If you looked into Taylor-Greene your response would be much different.
Furthermore disagreeing doesn’t make one a troll.
I did more research than you did. I reviewed the source material. DID YOU?
And I’ll add that the article’s reporting was from 2020 and says nothing about how long that minimal amount has been there. You are NOT “researchinging.” Reading an article without exploring and interpreting the source material is not research any more than watching CNN is “research.”
Can’t remember the last time I owned stock in a company that made money off killing innocent people.
I’ll add that I’ve searched the comments of the first page of comments. This set of comments are the only ones where I see “KAF” so it almost looks like you haven’t commented here before. I could be wrong but would appreciate seeing where you have commented here before.
I’m not researching anything other than the claims you have made about “investments prove she’s a hypocrite.” Do not invest in the ways you imagine. There are some stand-out investments there, however… meaningful investments! Did you notice those? Family owned businesses. Again, all of the investments are small-time investments and look exactly the way people invest when they outsource such investments to a third party.
But I digress… link me to where you have commented here before. Doesn’t look to me like you have.
I would like to see proof of this Explore Talent history of MTG’s.
She’s from Explore Talent? Wow. That’s major news. I’d actually believed she was semi-authentic.
We need to think outside the box we’ve been backed into, folks. The system is totally rigged.
Unfortunately, my representative is Brian Fitzpatrick. They don’t get any swampier than him.
Well in IL, we have two senators called Duckworth and Durbin…sounds like a bad drink….
Yep AG we continue to suffer…
A Democrat with a red tie.
Same here Barry. I asked him to resign last year as he voted with the communist demonrats most of the time. I received an email back touting all he has done…and a reminder he was fbi.
WEF Seth Moulton is crème-de-la-crotte Swamp.
That POS Brian Fitzpatrick is my representative too.
Me too.
He loves to brag that he is the “most bipartisan Republican” in Congress. Being the rinoiest rino is nothing to be proud of. Most likely to stab all of us in his own party in the back. Yay.

I really don’t see the problem with committee chairmen calling for greater power over how legislation is passed. In the old days that is how it was done. Now bills are delivered to the House from special interests and Global entities it be passed unread and no committee review. If you are going to ignore committee review then it is hardly a threat to withhold a committee assignment. Heck, special interests don’t have to even pay off several committee chairmen anymore, just pay of the one Speaker.
It’s not a swamp, it’s a sewer and the whole damn place has to be purified by fire
“the only thing we can do is watch it play out”
ahem

The battle is a good thing, the more intense the better . . . as long as Jeffries does not end of Speaker. The freedom caucus has gained significant concessions in the event McCarthy ends up as Speaker. Bannon’s assessment of those concessions is that Gaetz and MTG will end up being the real speaker because of the leverage they will have on McCarthy. Whether or not he honors those concessions is another thing but there will likely be consequences if he does not as one of the concessions is to reinstate the rule allowing to vacate the speaker chair.The reality is that we still have many more establishment House members than America first conservatives.
Here’s Bannon’s take and some of the concessions the freedom caucus has won.

I took a break for a bit….sure everyone missed me. Imo we need to make our stand starting now, such that it is, with the caveate that I’m aggressive sometimes to a fault. The US House has immense power, if they are willing to use it, and the Speaker of the House is key. ‘If I were Speaker’, would fight to defund the entire DOJ, CIA, FBI, and hold hearings on them…. same with the Manhattan/Federal prison system, including judges, until J6 prisoners were released, moved to flyover and given another trial.
Subpoena tax returns of key DC Fascista, to see who received payments from drug companies, the CCP and etc.
Hold hearings, issue subpoenas, send members of the aforementioned to jail for perjury, conspiracy, and whatever else. Defund all 89(?) SWAT teams controlled by Federal Gov’t bureacracies, Defund the Dept. of Education Marxists and stop CRT, and that’s just for starters.
Of course there would be an Impeachment vote, on the record. and etc…. Go on the assumption that we have two years to make as much progress as possible.
Maybe you should run?
No one is going to jail for anything with Garland/Monaco DOJ
We need the American Party or whatever you want to call it. It’s time, long past time for the GOP to go the way of the Whigs. They do not represent the people. They haven’t in a very long time. It took Trump to come in and actually set out to do what the people wanted and to show how easily it could be done for us who are paying attention to realize the shenanigans and two card Monty that’s been played in DC for all of these years and decades.
And yes, those decades include Ronald Reagan!
Trump got trade renegotiated, border secured without legislation, He got Roe v Wade overturned, he restored prayer in school and was working in school choice which has been talked about for decades But nothing done to the detriment of generations of kids stuck on liberal indoctrination camps called public schools!
We need the American Party to stand up for this Trump agenda. It’s the only way we will be able to save our country! I don’t care if it starts with the 20 or so republicans that have voted against McCarthy and for Jim Jordan. It must be birthed NOW!! A baby always starts off small but it grows. MAGA!!
…the wolves come home to roost….
RINO,s turned chicken long ago
McStain..Ryan….Boehner….McConnell…all…
Pieces of utter shit

I am pretty much un represented so really could care less what any of these fools say or do.
I think you mean Couldn’t care less.
There are simply too, too many grifters in the Uni-Party (Upper {D} and Lower {R} that are seeking their own self-interests.
I have no confidence in either of the two major political parties.
Wash DC is a grifters paradise
Corruption top to bottom…
They know that we know it and they just don’t care

Likely should be on another thread.
There are several negative comments about MTG today. I would like to remind THOSE folks, that this fighter has been working very hard on behalf of the ILLEGALY IMPRISONED J6 Patriots. That is enough for me to cut her A LOT of slack.
Do a deep dive dig on those ‘falsely’ imprisoned.
Many have some fascinating backgrounds and by fascinating I mean ‘Criminal’
Many are not EVEN American.
What does that tell you?
MTG is a ‘Controlled’ RINO.
FULL STOP.
How is the cognitive dissonance so prevalent here, out of all places?
At the end of the day, your trust should always be with GOD.
Perhaps. And others are the mothers of young children and 100% American.
You sound like one of the Q people.
The truth is available for you as well Gina. It’s called research.
Remember, truth has no agenda and I have no idea what you mean by Q people.
I’ve stated FACTS.
I read a couple of articles stating that MTG made a deal with Kevin in exchange for her support. IMO her speech, proved it.
As an ardent supporter of MTG’s fire, she needs to hit the pause button. Grandstanding about the America First movement and then claiming that McCarthy is the R to make that happen, is asinine. Stating as much makes her look like an a$$.
The AF Movement is DEAD for the time being, because our GOPE R’s allowed our elections to be stolen. The Dems hold the WH, Senate and almost half of the House because establishment RINO’s, like Kevin, were either complicit, corrupted, traitorous and/or too cowardly.
McCarthy didn’t do anything for the AF Movement from ‘16-‘18 when he had the chance. A big, beautiful wall would have been nice. He didn’t rally the House against the ‘20 election steal. He didn’t address the election issues after the fact nor did he lead the R party to the MASSIVE MAJORITY VICTORY they COULD/SHOULD have had in ‘22.
Even worse, his Senate equivalent Mitch McConnell, deemed him so weak/insignificant that he rammed a bloated budget through, thus rendering him a political eunuch. Get your mind right Greene.
Over the years I have voted for more Stupid Party candidates then I care to admit but I always held my nose to do it. At this point it seems obvious that The Republican Party leadership doesn’t give a rats posterior about it’s voting base. I really can’t stand McCarthy but it’s not like the alternatives are going to save the country either.
No, the alternatives will not save the country. This is why who is speaker seems a shell game. It’s a system of graft and corrupt power that is broken beyond repair.
Trump or no one.
We want Jordan (Other than RINO / WEF puppet McCarty to get it). Where are former military snipers when we need them? He is clearly a deep state asset that needs to be eliminated!
Are you trying to get locked up? Are you a fed?
This is not Kevin McCarthy’s first rodeo for House Speaker. Remember when John Boehner got ousted? Kevin McCarthy was next in line and he couldn’t garner enough votes, so the swamp replaced swamp Boehner with swampier Paul Ryan instead of swampiest McCarthy. How did that work out for the American people (Hint: we still have Obamacare)?
Boebert says McCarthy rejected the proposed rules committee proposals, MTG says McCarthy accepted the rules committee proposals, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
The truest thing I heard today was Kevin McCarthy is politically agnostic. Seemed to fit perfectly with his flip-flopping stances on many issues McCarthy has taken.
BTW: McCarthy’s roommate in DC is swampiest of swamp creatures Frank Luntz.
I had the webpage open to send my opinion to my rep, but after seeing him on Ingraham I closed it. Banks is going to run for Braun’s senate seat so there is no way he will buck the establishment.
What a disappointment my reps from Indiana (Sen Young) have turned out to be
MTG was bought and paid for!
What happened to knocking this down before the vote?
Gaetz feeds the oft correct notion that Republicans are in a mix master over anything resembling unity.
Maybe a dose of vitamin L (Lemming) is needed.
The truth is, LIBS don’t vote FOR anything, they vote AGAINST conservatives.
Who believes any of them read the BBB (budget buster bill)?
There’s only one way to hold the line & that’s by locking arms & steeling one’s self.
A little surprised at big Marj for attacking the rebels, instead of leading them.
After the House has essentially been censored by the UniParty cartel since May of 2016, it’s refreshing to see open debate. The cartel is not happy.
Can we get the BACK ROOM BAR shut down and let them sober up and go to work? If the speaker is that important, them perhaps the entire country should be voting for a speaker. There you go…..the AZ folks could be in charge of that election and they won’t give a damn what the people want.
Oh, I forgot….Matt Goetz walks on water….
I support the two Party system because the eventual winner will be the voters. There is two distinct sides to every political issue and the Parties try to adjust their approach to gain the one issue voters who have the strongest opinions on an issue. It is yin and yang and the two major Parties tap dance on either side of the issue until it is known for sure which Party benefits electorally from their position. If the result is read properly, the issue is put to rest, with the passage of a bill, at least for a while and the Parties move on to look for another issue that they think they can win on. Historically, this works to keep the Parties as big tents and to slow legislation down until the correct pathway is chosen by the People. That is, if the people actually give a damn about their own Government. Once it is known that the People will never punish bad legislation, both Parties are free to ride the fast train towards corruption. This is where I believe we have gone, and it won’t be fixed by the Parties. I am pessimistic that the People will ever give enough of a damn to make thing work once they have let it all get broken. Welcome to the world of Government by runaway Bureaucracies.
Wow. So many people in these comments sound like they watch Fox News 23 hours a day and have never followed Sundance.
You act like this is such a big deal. After watching these people for 4 years, you still think falling in line for em will lead you out of this mess? McCarthy and McConnell couldn’t find $8B for a wall but found $100B for Ukraine a few years and much more debt later. McConnell said “President Trump doesn’t understand how slow things move in the legislature” , but they passed $1.7 T within 48 hours of release with ZERO public pushback from McCarthy. Do ya’ll really think these people want what you want? Do ya’ll think Sundance supports these rats? A little threat of Jeffries and ya’ll fold up like a lawn chair. Sometimes you have to not be scared to lose big in order to win. We say politicians should grow a spine, yet throw ours away in the first tough situation.
