Appearing with Maria Bartiromo, California Representative Kevin McCarthy discusses the opportunities and challenges for the republican caucus as his own effort to become Speaker of the House is impeded by conservative republicans in legislature.
McCarthy notes a conversation last week with Joe Biden and the upcoming reauthorization for defense spending that will likely remove the COVID vaccine mandate. Additionally, McCarthy discusses the removal of Adam Schiff from the HPSCI and how that removal connects to the latest revelations about people within the intelligence community who purposefully lied about the Hunter Biden laptop in order to interfere in the 2020 election. WATCH:
.
With 222 republicans, a five-seat majority in the House, what options do they have except to elect McCarthy as Speaker?
McCarthy is a rino. No thanks. It needs to be someone else.
if there really HAD been a Red Wave, he would have been the first dead whale washed up on the beach.
The time to do that was in the Primaries back in May.
Exactly!!!
We need to be focusing on finding 2024 candidates (or run yourself) to support and campaign for now!!!!
We can have some influence on the current deck, but really need to focusing on getting a better deck in 2024.
We can do 2 things at once: 1. Bring as much heat as possible to ensure Rino’s don’t cave too bad and 2. Get a better group of anti-Uniparty for 2024 (don’t discount helping some independent lefties that are just as pissed at Uni-party Dems as we are Uni-party Rep’s, even if they only agree on 30% that’s more than the Uniparty)
Been sayin’ this for years.
There is zero policy differences between democrats and Republicans. Pelosi and McCarthy are on the same team
But at least McCarthy does not make those weird facial expressions when someone who she does not approve of is speaking. She is the ultimate hag.
…and from the same state😳
The hilarious part is, McCarthy did everything he could to prevent a Red Wave so that he would be elected Speaker and now, with a small majority and a solid contingent vehemently opposed to his candidacy, he may well have screwed himself over
Ok, who? And how do you get them elected as Speaker?
Republicans vote for them, how else?
The fact that Republican representatives will only vote for a “RINO” for Speaker – just like Republican senators will only vote for a “RINO” for their leader – shows what so many fail to understand: what we call “RINO” is in fact mainstream Republicanism.
They’re not our friends.
You do understand that a majority is needed?
The Rino’s will only vote for Uniparty-R’s and the Dem’s for their Uniparty-D: that is a majority of the votes, period.
How to you suppose the non-Rino R’s overcome that majority to elect someone else as Speaker?
My point exactly.
GOP are not our friends.
If nobody gets an outright majority they keep running the vote until somebody does. If McCarthy cannot get the votes needed to be Speaker one of two things will happen
1) The Republicans will have to put up somebody they can all agree on
or
2) A few RINOs, as many as needed, will break rank and vote for the Democrat
Given that it’s a roll call vote, not a secret vote like the elections for Senate leader and House leader were, the second one is unlikely as this would be complete political suicide for any Republican who backs Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker
The thing about the Senate elections vs this is that was a secret ballot. We don’t know which Republicans specifically voted to keep McConnell in the chair, which means nobody can visit retribution on them. Here we will, because it’s a roll call vote and, as we know, a lot of RINOs can at least be threatened into doing the right thing for their constituents if they think their careers are on the line.
Look at the Trump impeachment votes. Or the votes to remove Liz Cheney from her #3 spot in the House. When they held a secret ballot on whether or not to boot Liz Cheney, Liz Cheney kept her job. When they held a roll call public vote on whether to boot her, she got the boot because few Republicans wanted to reap the political retributions that come with publicly supporting her.
the ones against Mc Carthy should get together with him & say they will vote for him if they can put a rule in the repuplician rule book that the speaker can only rule for 2 years.
President Trump and Rep. Jordan (Freedom caucus leader) both endorsed McCarthy for Speaker. Not good enough?
Trump also endorsed McConnell for reelection in 2020.
Also hired a string of losers in his Administration
Greatest President ever, however that doesn’t make him perfect.
Why can’t Jordan or Geatz or MTG or others MAGA be speaker?
I was sarcastic. Trump did endorse a bunch of insufferable RINO and losers and his administration was the Compendium of Who is Who in the swamp. But he is of course given a pass on the CTH. The Great MAGA King can do no wrong. Move along, nothing to see here.
nope, because we are not blind followers
We are MAGA 100%
and we have nothing to lose in this and everything to gain in the freedom caucus can pull this off.
because McCarthy is no different than a Democrat speaker anyways just the same as his good buddy Paul Ryan and Boehner before him….
Nothing to loose.. Let er Rip!
they both know he will be speaker,so you work with what you have.
If McCarthy is speaker and sucks after a few months- can he be removed and someone else put in?
can he? sure. will he? he’ll. no.
Can Biden? The issue really isn’t the “vote” it’s the factions in the congress jockeying for the power. The slime vs the ultra slime. What will McCarthy give for his place at the table?
Why does this sound like a John wick movie, without John to clean up?
McCarthy doesn’t have a seat at the High Table. “He has served and he will be of service” to it – that’s all.
and REMEMBER – Capital Hill IS ” The Continental Hotel ” – WHO IS WINSTON ( McConnell ) ?
WHO SITS on THE ROUND TABLE ?
WE SAW WHO RECEIVED a TOKEN…
Why would he be removed when he is exactly what the majority of the GOPe politicians want? He will be there to keep the money rolling in and to prevent another PDJT. That’s it. We the people are at the very bottom of their list of priorities.
If he stuck it ensures his position. Look at the Turtle.
Yes I did hear he can be removed but will they?
He makes me sick, and the military should ALL be resigning.
Scary part is most of the Normals have rotated out of the Military.
Exactly. Retention rates always drop among the enlisted ranks when the Dems are in office, but they are now falling off a cliff, and recruitment is going just as badly. It is getting more and more difficult to come up with the warm bodies for our overseas commitments.
Maybe our overseas commitments should fall off the cliff as well. Time to reset our priorities. MAGA first comes to mind.
All the higher ups were purged under Obama Biden
and the Jab is getting rid of the lower rank.
IC selectee for speaker.
He should only be speaker if they reinstate the notion that he can be removed by vote if he fails to keep his promises.
He looks quite distressed.
It is so very difficult to keep even the smallest lie a secret forever.
Elect him speaker…keep him on a short leash.
President Trump and others know the truth..and h more can be revealed.
IMO McCarthy being the weasel that he is, will be easily controlled.
His boyfriend Frank will be having conniptions.
Just my opinion.
Frank already has the champagne and lube ready for the celebration.
I am stupid but who is Frank
Frank Luntz is a RINO Trump hating pollster and a dough boy momma’s baby ($$$ still probably gets an allowance) who wears a lot of bad toupees. My daughter worked for him a short time and couldn’t believe what a diva he is. Cries and throws tantrums.
McCarthy rents a room from him….or maybe he rents one side of Frank’s bed.
Unfortunately McCarthy was pre-selected long ago. Let’s hope he is only half as disappointing as we know he will be.
All i hear when he talks is blah blah blah. Same stuff they always say and do nothing about
I also hear Charlie Brown’s parents when he speaks.
Or his teacher
Wonk wonk wonk…
Another Pretty Boy Floyd on the exterior and an empty soul on the interior
Unbelievable to be where we are as a country..
No. Unfortunately, it is VERY believeable. Many (most?) of our citizens have been corrupted. Joe McCarthy was right.
Same old worn out platitudes: “come together” “hold government accountable” “govern”
“Repeal 70,000 IRS agents” – like how you repealed ACA?
McCarthy and Biden agree to end DOD vaccine mandate , then the puppeteers take over; SOSDD.
The question is what questions do he agree not to ask investigating and which path did he agree not to go down?
Agree to implies a negotiation and concessions; he and Biden didn’t NEED to discuss what roads he won’t go down.
As they are of one mind, its understood.
In order to try to shore up the narrative that they are two parties, they WILL go into SOME areas, and then fail to press for answers, and of coarse send strongly worded letters.
They WILL have to put MTG, Gaetz etc on some committees, and will use the time limit rules to try to prevent them from going too far.
I am actually good with MTG leading the MAGA caucus, her big mouth and blunt persinality is just whats needed at the helm, a hell raiser.
Its dreaming to expect anyone else to be Speaker, so give it to Kevin and then make his life a holy hell.
” buying ” the DoD ALLEGIANCE ? an Example of That Concept.
The ” worker bees ” are ALREADY SEPARATED from the ” drones “?auto=webp&width=1440&height=810
Looks to be no choice…
That’s the plan, and the same one with DeSantis. There is another choice for me-I’m staying home.
OR write in your preferred candidate.
In Nevada, you do not get to write in your choice. You have to pick from the machine what is being offered.
Confused as we are talking about the speaker but we don’t get to vote on him now do we?
I don’t see that it matters who is speaker as patriot, conservative, God fearing, right-to-life representatives are a small minority.
It’s pretty easy to become a compromised individual just ask Sharyl Attkinsson.
Let’s Go Brandon

😉🇺🇸
That election disclaimer by YouTube takes up almost the entire screen on mobile. Which is hilarious because they never brought it up. Basically, all news and opinion content or searches, will naturally move away from Google, YouTube and Facebook.
Who is on Truth Social?
Given what we are learning re the 2020 elections (let alone the 2022); the R’s should elect Trump speaker and let McCarthy actually do the work. This would put Trump third in line so when B drops out and Harris is impeached then Trump is POTUS.
that actually would be the best strategy for the Deep State. If Trump becomes Speaker, have Biden and Harris resign, and then Trump becomes president and if his term is for a day more than two years, then he can’t run again. With a Dem senate, they could stop everything he wanted to do, so they’d be rid of their nemesis with just two years of gridlock and then get their puppet candidate elected in 2024 and continue with the Great Reset by 2030.
Fortunately, they are too arrogant to do this.
I said that long ago, they’d be better off putting him in office for some period, lame-duck in 2024, to get rid of him forever – but like you said, they’re to arrogant.
Correct. I am pretty sure that PDJT won’t take the bait.
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.”
Thank you what if it is less than two years
That’s not true. There’s legal precedent for fraudulent elections – the results were reinstatement or a new election. Has happened 22 times since 1992 in lower-office elections.
If more than 1/2 of the term is already over, the candidate is allowed to run again.
I believe he could run as this would not be a second ‘elected’ term of office he would be installed love to know that answer
That was an idea thoroughly rejected, early on by PDJT.
Unfortunately it lives on in the minds of far too many,…
You know Trump lawyers have given him bad counsel allegedly Patrick Bynes and Sidney Powell witnessed that after the steal
That is exactly what I thought too
Kamala is not legal to be POTUS she is not a Natural Born Citizen read Larry Klayman’s article solution
With the rats throwing the assist to McCarthy in the form of the vax mandate relief I see that the rats want McCarthy.
Ding ding ding! Winner!
Its not JUST about Kevin as Speaker; the Dems will ALWAYS come to the rescue of their RINO Comrades, because the Dems know, without the RINOS the Dems are TOAST.
The Dems will be fully participating partners in the Kabuki theater over the next two years, all intended to lull us into believing the RINO, GOPe opposes, in any way what we think of as “the Biden agenda”.
Yup!
So true examples Kinzinger and Cheney
Can anyone answer me this…why is Donald Trump and his son, DT, Jr. supporting McCarthy? Against people like Matt Gates who has been a huge Trump supporter and fighter? Is it because the alternative is worse?
Help me out here.
The democrats must be enjoying this split in the GOP? Just like they are enjoying and facilitating the split between Trump and Desantis.
If Gaetz is the candidate other rino republicans won’t vote for him. The rinos will unite with the democrats to elect a democrat as speaker
How can they do that as they are not the majority?
The entire House votes for a Speaker, and the Democrats will have their own nominee, Rep. Jeffries.
they all know he will be “selected” so they are showing their “support”. I think MtG is doing the same. Face it, nothing in government represents what the people want anymore
And hasn’t for a long time—since 1913, at least!
Gaetz can’t get elected Speaker. Kevin is the most conservative person who can get the votes. Both Trump & Don Jr know McCarthy will do the right thing under pressure.
There is the word ‘pressure’ but from which side as remember what state he lives in
Kevin McCarthy lives in the most conservative part of California. His home town, Bakersfield, is as conservative as any similar size city in the country, maybe more so. His donor base is made up of rock ribbed Goldwater/Reagan Republicans.
Reagan could not have been elected Governor of California without Bakersfield. The same could be said of his Presidential victory as the majority of Reagan’s ‘Kitchen Cabinet’ were Bakersfield locals.
I knew Kevin when he worked for Congressman Bill Thomas as a young man. I volunteered in the political consultant’s office next door. Kevin was also the President of my Young Republicans Club. He is a career politician but he also knows what side his bread is buttered. McCarthy is no Paul Ryan.
I don’t believe that for one second.
“will do the right thing under pressure” really?
There is always a split in the GOP. That’s why they can never govern when they get the House, Senate and Presidency (which is rare). The Dems don’t have this problem. All the GOP is good at most often is arguing with each other.
Bingo! The collectivist commies march lock-step while we bicker amongst ourselves.
Yup, based on “principle”.
I’m all for having an ideal, but my ideal isn’t the same as yours. We need to focus on the 50 to 80% that 60% of Americans can agree on. The areas that are outside the CONservative “principles” can be discussed after the 50 to 80% issues are fixed and codified.
We’re in a Col Civil War, period. There is no common ground between the left and the right. The Uniparty politicians and social media along with the main stream media foundation have destroyed the common bond, everything is political as far as govt is concerned.
War requires setting aside feelings and “principles” in order to re-establish regular order.
War requires killing your enemy until they give up.
We do that every single time and then we wonder why nothing ever changes. Tired of the same bull every single time we could do something different. It’s people like you who keep us going down the sane bad path. Nothing ever changes.
We bicker because the rinos are commies too. What difference does it make if we get a rino? No difference than getting a Democrat and twice as frustrating.
See the new post by Sundance: Holder appears to set-up Hunter and Trump arrests.
Do you suppose PDJT should buck the system and throw any political connection away to prevent said arrests from occurring?
This is all politics. The problem with conservatives is they’re too idealist. Look at the Dems, they vote lock-step together and the R’s throw away opportunity after opportunity for “principles”.
The time for principles is now: find someone to run to flip a seat (Rino to MAGA or Dem to MAGA) in 2024. Get name recognition, win the primary and win the seat – if you lose in the primary then vote, vote and vote on every ballot you can for the R.
We need to start networking and out Dem’ing the Dem’s. We need to fix the voter roll system to ensure it’s only: 1 person, 1 ballot, 1 vote.
Do you think McCarthy will save him? Like pence did?
Unfortunately, the RINOs will only vote for a RINO as SOH. They will never vote for Gaetz. My diminishing hope is that the Splitter Strategy that Lindell and Gaetz are doing against McCarthy makes him give them promises in writing of what he will or will not do once he is SOH that will benefit MAGA.
My guess is that he will be a traitor but maybe PDJT and Team MAGA have enough dirt on McCarthy that they can control him in some ways. Two can play that game and I hope the Team MAGA starts playing the “we’ve got dirt on you game”.
President Trump is adept at shining the spotlight of sunlight.
Why did he place Fauci upfront center?
TO EXPOSE HIM.
I don’t think so.
Every time I see this guy, I wonder how many hours he has spent in front of the mirror practicing that fake smile. He’s a fraud, plain and simple.
No pal of Frank Luntz is worth our vote/time.
My prediction is that McCarthy has already made a deal with the Dems to offset the 5 or so Republican votes against him with enough Dem votes to win. The Uniparty gets their Speaker and we MAGA folks wonder what happened.
A number have asked about can he be removed as speaker. It is my understanding that a “motion to vacate the chair” is privileged and could be made and must be dealt with before any other business. That said it would take about 218 votes same as getting elected in the first place.
Also I must admit that I am not 100% sure that those “conservatives” who do not want to vote for him are all that MAGA and do not in fact contain a good number that are RINOs.
To further the MAGA agenda, it is going to require almost 100% lock stepping by the Republicans. Something that historically (maybe because there are so many closet RINOs) has not much happened. It is also disheartening, that at least so far, the courts have not supported open, free and fair elections. At this point, it seems to me the BEST outcome we have any chance of getting is accommodations (from McCarthy) in return for being elected as it appears the Freedom Caucus is trying to put together.
Bottom line, in this moment, our Nation as founded is already lost. There is no hope in either the Legislative or Executive branches and only a slight hope in the highest court of the Judicial Branch. Yes a couple Democratic Senators could change parties but the more likely future is Warnock wins in Georgia, they do away with the filibuster, pack the court, and pass every socialist agenda bucket item they can imagine.
I am sorry if this sounds negative, but this is not something we can shoot or vote our way out of, all we can do pray that our officials will see the light and live our best life each day until they take that from us too.
Pffft! Low hanging fruit… as usual.
How about finding and investigating all of those involved in the creation of the virus which has killed over 6.6 million people worldwide, severely harmed many more, and will cause an estimated $22 to 85 TRILLION dollars worth of economic damage worldwide projected through 2025.
Same for the fraudulently approved vaccines and those who suppressed low cost repurposed drugs as treatments in order to fulfil the legal requirement to have “no effective treatments” to get an Emergency Use Authorization for them. That alone is projected to have cost 500,000 lives in the US. Then add the vaccine injuries. And I’m not talking about the usual fines which never even remotely reach the profits made, but huge fines and, far better yet, prison time.
But that isn’t possible in the farcical political climate and world we live in, is it?
Killing the military jab mandate, good. Sounds like it is a negotiation so what is he promising the regime in return? The regime knows he’s a RINO so they are likely fine with him as Speaker. We need an A1 Speaker and he ain’t it. However, I admit I do not know enough about the process of electing the Speaker to know how to prevent McCarthy from becoming Speaker. So at this point I’m just a complainer seeking knowledge and alternatives.
He needs 218 votes from the total of 435, period. No 218, then no speakership. Let the games begin. Read em and weep Kevin.
They can fight that mandate all by themselves.. About time they did more than follow orders..
Don’t let this RINO solve your problems..
Solve them yourselves and ensure you succeed by not allowing this trash to get involved in any way what so ever.
As long as he allows the MAGA Caucus to set up some relevant committees, like one investigating Twitter collusion with elected Democrats & the DOJ, McCarthy will be an acceptable Speaker.
In an effort to justify censorship of free speech, Yoel Roth, who no longer works at Twitter, still claims that satire is dangerous and that Libs of TikTok and The Babylon Bee are harmful.
Someone on Twitter should forward this to Kari Lake war room.
They have it
Always the same story with Republicons… bad or worse. As MTG is spinning it, we have to go with this guy because a Dem will get it if not. Again, I don’t see a whole lot of difference other than this lying asshole being all over Faux News talking about all the things that we know he won’t do.
I wish they didn’t all suck. I’m so tired of hearing how we have to settle for garbage all the time because “the other option is worse.” We don’t have a choice in this “election” but it wouldn’t matter if we did.
McCarthy is a money-grubbing, soulless liar of the first order. I guess he’s the perfect front man for the Rebpublicons… a younger, more slick-tongued version of Mitch McConnell.
> we have to go with this guy because a Dem will get it if not
That’s just so much garbage, Republicans have the majority and can elect whomever they want. It’s disappointing that Green puts GOP ahead of MAGA.
Seeing her quote on the matter felt like a letdown to me for sure, especially with others still vocally rejecting him.
The only positive spin I can find is that she thinks that by courting the Beast, she can move up and better help MAGA… but at this rate, I’ll be dead before they can find enough undercover MAGA reps to be effective, if ever.
Yes, I think that is what she believes. In my view that’s a mistake. The GOP is anti-MAGA. “Taking them over” for the umpteenth time will get the same result, continued GOP. We need to oppose them entirely and defeat them, not continue to give them support in the misguide hope of “taking them over”. Top GOP, former heads of RNC, funded Pennsylvania’s Democrat gubernatorial candidate! The GOP dysfunction is beyond salvage.
I’m not trusting MTG right now.
Very strange that MTG appears to have hired Milo as an aid, and had him staying in her home as well.
Hadn’t heard this. The same Milo that’s taking credit for Mar-a-Lago dinner?
Joe Biden could remove the vcxx mandate today – another ruse by McCarthy and McConnell.
Let’s talk about how the DoD failed it’s audit, again – Can’t account for $2T!?!?!?
Most likely covert ops and bribes. Or just lousy book keepers.
Bet it’s bribes
They say one thing in public, and than say and do the opposite behind closed doors.
“If Hillary Clinton runs for and wins the presidency, she would be “very hardworking” and “much more practical” than the current president, according to former Speaker Newt Gingrich.”
Newt’s Kind Words for President Hillary
https://www.thedailybeast.com/newts-kind-words-for-president-hillary
I wince every time I see Gingrich presented as Republican royalty. He’s got a grift to run and he’s quite good at it.
Thanks for not allowing us to forget where he’s been…
Hi MM, I hold him largely responsible for destroying the MAFA movement, NAFTA, WTO, PNTR to China, and the biggest, ChinaGate. He helped shield and protect and assist his fellow CFR traitor/criminal Clinton as he was also CFR member, which George Soros was a Director of, and who much of our media are members of. How and why this globalist traitorous organization is still around and wielding all of that power is an example of who really controls things in America. Slainte to you friend
Slainte to you as well, my friend!! You taught me (another) something new and since I have Irish heritage, I have no excuse for my ignorance.
I always appreciate your posts and read every one. It seems we had the same priorities thirty years ago (Buchanan/Perot and American jobs) and here we both are today. 🙂
Ty and glad to have you here! Especially since you remember the good ole 90’s & the Make America First Again movement which Gingrich & Co and the CFR helped to destroy. I have a special place in my heart for Ireland and its peoples. (Buchananites I should add)
Please read you will enjoy my friend MM! (Many MAGA do not know that MAGA & PDJT is basically now what MAFA was in the 90’s and took much of their platform from Buchanan & MAFA)
Trump Is Pat Buchanan With Better Timing
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/09/donald-trump-pat-buchanan-republican-america-first-nativist-214221/
I, personally, find Kevin McCarthy a sickening individual who is to smarmy for my tastes. His cadence bothers me, his choice of words, his lack of energy within those words, his body language…nothing about him impresses me.
I don’t think nor feel the republicans understand the deep hole they have dug since abandoning President Trump.
Cowards who just want to play the game within Washington, DC of being “gate keepers” where those who want something–having a need to use government’s energies/powers/influences, pay these elected officials to gain access via ways and methods most would say is “under the table” at the very least…a good ole boy school of contacts who enrich each other bending the levers of government.
I have lost what was my “blind faith” in these people, lost what little confidence I once had. No rose colored glasses, no passive aggressive moves, no nothing will come from McCarthy!
If I find my position wrong, I will be the first in line to admit such and offer a sincere, in writing apology!
Remove vax mandate complete. Should have never happened because there was no pandemic.
“…the upcoming reauthorization for defense spending that will likely remove the COVID vaccine mandate.”
Over 365 days late and a lot of lives ruined.
Yep, operation complete, tie it off, memory hole it and apply the Hillary salve to it.
“likely”?
John Boehner’s heir apparent finally gets his gavel…
We are screwed. The 3 M’s will remain
But he is such a nice looking fellow with his haircut, law suit, chiseled teeth and power tie. Appearances are everything to the rogues and rubes. He plays at the honest broker well for a level two Khazarian Mafia capo front man.
These fools are insufferable. They have been like this since junior high. I remember the types well.
Make the douche bag work for it.
Yep! You want my vote Kev? Here’s what I want, and I want it in writing that you’ll give it to me.
You and I don’t get to vote for the GOP leadership positions. That’s the problem.
Heh! Sorry, should have been more specific: Sitting Republican Representative to McCarthy says:
Curious why no one here seems to notice that Andy Biggs is running.
I heard his plans on Lou Dobbs’ podcast – they seemed solid and doable.
In addition he is determined to restore a lot of House rules that the DementoRats have ruined.
McCarthy is far more beholden to his mega wealthy uberconservative donors in Bakersfield than folks realize. Yes, he is a career politician but he understands his job. Trump endorsed McCarthy because he knows he can work with McCarthy. MTG and Trump are right to get behind McCathy.
McCarthy is correct when he asserts anyone holding out for someone else is delaying getting important work done. McCarthy is the most conservative house member WHO CAN WIN.
McCarthy is a liar. We can do better and I don’t give a fig who endorses him. He’s worthless for maga. He’s a traitor and once you get him elected we van all look forward to McCarthy letting us down. Im sure you’ll be shocked. *rolls eyes*
Maria B., Queen of the Softball interviews with RINO McCarthy. Gee, not worth watching. But I’m forever grateful that SD does. McCarthy has not earned the right to be Speaker. If RINOs would rather see a Dem as Speaker then so be it. All the cards will be on the table. It’s going to hurt but has to be done.
Her voice would shatter glass. I cannot physically bear listening to her.
Kevin is already the House Speaker, at Frank’s House.
And that’s enough.
Frank is probably mad that Kevin took his mom to the dinner the other night.
Hold the line. Throw sand in the gears. Be ungovernable.
Annie for Speaker!
Kevin McCarthy is a Democrat, a traitor, an Election Thief, a supporter of Twitter Censorship for President Trump and Republican Congressmen–other than himself, naturally.
He’s a pig, a blight, a jackal, a flabby reprobate who will mouth any lie to cling to power.
Screw him and the dying Dinosaur Dynasty he represents.
YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU, KEVIN–TO GO. GO NOW, RIGHT NOW, USELESS PARASITE.
Okay Gip, now, tell us how you really feel.
I’d better not.
Kev, nobody believes you.
Well, you can let McCarthy refuse to listen to part of his own party, and vote against him.
Democrats might switch sides and vote for McCarthy if they have to. Manchin would.
1) Manchin is a Senator, and 2) No Democrat would break ranks, especially when a split GOP will allow a unanimous vote for Democrat SOH.
As I said before, my prediction is that McCarthy has already made a deal with the Dems to offset the 5 or so Republican votes against him with enough Dem votes to win. The Uniparty gets their Speaker and we MAGA folks wonder what happened.
He is so gross, yuk
Donald J. Trump as Speaker of the House would put the FJB Lawfare crowd between the proverbial rock and hard place. How do you indict the Speaker of the House without bringing down the government?
Why are people talking about Trump as speaker of the house? I keep seeing this on multiple social media sites.
Why would anybody believe that’s even remotely possible? They all want Trump out of the politics game, including and probably especially the GOP. Outside of a tiny minority of GOP politicians, they will never vote for him and they will never support him for any political office, much less vote him into a leadership position if/when he gets elected to office.
Why didn’t President Trump primary Narco Lubio and dethrone The Mitch(Male B!tch)??
How? Trump has no vote on the leadership of the house or senate.
“So in their quest to ‘own the establishment’ by stopping Kevin McCarthy, Andy Biggs and others are actually in effect empowering those who impeached Donald Trump. This is a Democrat dream come true for a GOP Congress.” Don Jr. is not only correct, his future, the future of his family and America hang in the balance. I understand what people don’t like about Kevin McCarthy and I share much of that POV. That said, we need to be smart.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/12/03/donald-trump-jr-calls-out-republicans-fighting-against-kevin-mccarthys-speakership/
Oh whatever. Im so sick of the we need to be smart and do everything exactly the same as we always have line of bs. This is why nothing changes. Because a bunch of numpties come on here and tell us to be smart blah, blah, blah. And then it turns out exactly as we expected all along and then we never see another comment from you until the same song and dance is required again and we are marched straight off the cliff anyhow.
Dirty rotten POS rich white washington swamp creature, hope he chokes on the excrement spewing from his pie hole.
As I have predicted; the Uniparty myth, that we have two political parties in ideological and policy conflict, has taken some tremendous blows, really since the escalator ride, but these midterms have been particularly devastating in exposing the truth.
So, between the midterms and 2024 election, BOTH wings will do everything they can, to try to restore the myth.
Lots of Kabuki theater in Congress, lots of hearings with heated exchanges, and faux exposing moments, that actually only confirm what those paying attention already knew.
Of coarse McCarthy will be Speaker, even with a “red wave” in the House elections, MAGA would still be a minority “rump” element within the R caucus, so I never expected him to be unseated, and if there ever is a serious challenge to him or Mitch, they will try to manuever another RINO into the slot.
That McCarthy says he is making an issue of the jab mandate IS a “good sign” for “our” side; not that he is doing it, but that THEY are conceding that Jab mandates are a problem.
Until now, the RINOS have been pretty silent on Covid,, mandates for the jab, etc. So, we ARE moving the dialogue in a positive direction, and thats a good sign.
A small majority actually helps a “rump” group like the MAGA, because they have far more “power” than they would with say, a 40 seat majority.
MTG, Gaetz etc. can threaten to with hold votes on key pieces of legislation, unless the get concessions from McCarthy.
Hopefully they don’t accept any IOU’s from him, as he WILL break any promises he makes.
And, notice how mitch has no impediment to being minority leader in the next session, and no fractious MAGA Senators to have to deal with, cause in Chess, you ALWAYS protect your King.
Great post Dutch… thanks for the perspective.
I haven’t told you in a while Dutch, Ty for your posts. You have some great ideas on how to take the GOP back with acting local/county/state level. Plus your political history and acumen. I really enjoyed your “Singing revolution” post.
Always appreciate you sir.
Take your BS McCarthy and move on. Lost all respect for Maria and will never watch her again, kissing this guys backside lost you at least 1 viewer. And thanks for the breaking news? They have to lift the mandate because of their failed recruitment which they are failing from more then the vaccine mandate but hey thats their first guess and the easiest to do with saving face. Imagine if they were to do an about face on trans in the military or pronoun policies? No mandates are easier but McLoser says it was his negotiating skills. Well only one fox show left to watch on rumble and its Tucker and I do that with a grain of salt!
Pretty done with the GOP. I will vote for President Trump and state officials/issues. Not supporting any of the GOP Congress Critters ever again.
Here’s to the America First Party – after the GOP has been reduced to rubble. It would do EVERY STATE a world of good.
The GOP is stealing our precinct positions locally. All taking marching orders from the top rather than their own local citizens.
Well, that would be good for the military, however…what about the rest of us?
So, a bone has been thrown…BFD!
The House of Representatives is supposed to have “The People’s Business” on their agenda all the people, not selected groups…not K street. Or Big Corporations, including Pfizer (and their perpetual ad nausum commercials) or The American Hospital Association. Or the AMA, ABA, unions etc etc etc.
Much lower gas prices and food prices for starters. Get the J6ers out of jail!
A select committee on Chyna/ Good luck with that…Immigration…oh please don’t make me laugh…
Social media should never have been an influence…
No more quid pro quo. No more placating special groups.
Government controlling businesses to control what we can find out? Kind of reminds me of fascism…and now he is outraged? 4-6 years of this and now he has a problem with it?
Kind of late to the party, IMHO.
The salary for the speaker is only a little over half of what the Director of NIAID
makes and about a third the amount of power.
Just a bigger title word to most and a dream for political prostitutes
McCarthy and his fellow RINOs could always vote for the selected Conservative candidate….
…that’s right, they won’t. They would rather have a Democrat as Speaker.
Exactly.
As SD has said many times, the GOP would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of their party.
And the base keeps coming back for more abuse from the cabal who hates them.
Some Republicans can make more money being in the minority.
“Some” ?
Who is the selected Conservative candidate. That’s my issue with the 5 dissenters. They are not offering an alternative. I am sorry but I side with MTG on this. I love Gaetz, but he is being a fool at this point.
Marjorie Taylor Green is the SMART one, she knows how the democrats work. Clyburn has already come out and offered a “deal” to have some democrats vote for McCarthy. Who would you rather McCarthy make a deal with and be “beholden” to – the democrats or the House Freedom Caucus???
Also Chuck Todd threw in Steve Scalise as an alternative to McCarthy, trying to stir the pot and confuse the issue. This is all politics at its worst, and Marjorie Taylor Green knows how it works in Washington D.C.
Influence is the name of the game in this one, and if your hatred of Kevin McCarthy lets the democrat camel’s nose in the Republican tent, you haven’t considered all the details.
Let’s get more MAGA republicans who would join the House Freedom Caucus elected and then we can name a better speaker. In the meantime, a speaker who is indebted to the Freedom Caucus rather than the democrats is a better choice
The Democrats’ camel nose in the Republican tent?
It’s ONE tent, owned by the Globalists, encompassing BOTH parties.
Precisely!
Ha, I agree with you! I should have been more precise and said ” in the MAGA Republican party”…
We did, but their elections were STOLEN! If you watched WAR ROOM, with Steve Bannon, he had them on several times to introduce them to his massive audience. I consider myself a MAGA, NOT a Republican. They are all EVIL SATANISTS!! If you report on them, they go after you, i.e. Madison Cawthorn!! MTG has made a deal with McCarthy for a choice committee or some other favor in exchange on getting him the Speakership.
Andy Biggs is also runnng.
The newly elected Congressman from Montana, Ryan Zinke, told me before the primary that he would “proudly” vote for McCarthy for Speaker.
I voted for his primary opponent, who lost by less than 1% of the vote, as I recall.
So maybe there is some hope.
