Seven masked midgets were spotted running amok in a DC Starbucks today. No one was hurt, but damage was done to several skirting boards and light sockets as a white woman with a tiara and broom feverishly chased after them.
Shortly thereafter, word spread that Kevin McCarthy’s office will assuage Republican fears about his spineless UniParty propensity by working with Democrats to construct the roadmap for his inevitable installation.
(WASHINGTON DC) – Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Wednesday failed to secure the Speakership on the House’s fourth vote. Preliminary vote totals showed him getting 201 votes, short of the 218 required to secure the gavel.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) on Wednesday said “preliminary talks” had begun with Democrats about supporting a “consensus candidate” for Speaker. Bacon told CNN, however, he wanted to hold back on the details of the conversations so as to not get ahead of the negotiations.
“There are preliminary talks, but we don’t want to go too fast on this because that then highjacks what Kevin is trying to do, and we want to support Kevin, he’s worked hard to get this,” Bacon said. (read more)

Voting for McCarthy is just switching from one liberal nutcase from California to another liberal nutcase from California.
How about we get a speaker from a SOLID RED STATE for a change?
You win the best comment of this thread. So true.
Just NOT WY! Hageman has been solid mcFailure so far, and no one can get a hold of her to tell her to can it!
It should be a very dark red State.
It would be much easier to get them to make the right choices if when they returned home they are greeted with Cheers from their constituents, instead of having to face 85% of all of their home states voters who are clinically radical libtards.
You mean like Donald’s from FL?
Would being speaker provide any financial benefits to the TRUMP campaign?
You just have to love it!
If this keeps up long enough, that counter we see that keeps adding to the Budget bankruptcy may begin to slow and reverse course.
I am asking myself, why is Trump supporting McCarthy? As with any citizen Trump has a right to support anyone he wants, but supporting this guy is Not good for We The People in anyway. I for one am done with, the lesser of the two evils.
At this point if McCarthy can get DemonRats to help him, he will and hard to believe, worse then Pelosi. This guy lives/lived with Frank Luntz. That right there is enough for a No vote.
Maybe Trump endorsed McCarthy so democrats wouldn’t vote for him knowing he didn’t have the votes.
Don’t pay much attention to news, but seems to me the Bite Me says he is gonna step in…..last I glimpsed as I was channel paging cause I was bored……McCarthy is too desperate for that job. He hopes to make some of the millions the Nasty has made, but he don’t have the guts to go anyway but the left way. He seems to want the “new world order” just like CA wants. The majority of the elected stupids don’t even know what the rest of the normal people want cause they don’t live i a normal world and have to go through what normal people have to go through…..they have way too much money to throw around as it is…..all of them.
But Trump! That’s not working now? 🙆🏽♂️🫣
You know, I think the COV “crisis” taught many of us that Republican citizens are in so many respects just like Democrats. (Far fewer of those types on TCTH.)
“Oh please tell me how many shots to get! Please! help me, Big Brother! Help me!”
It amazes me on some “Republican” forums that people are distressed over huge budget outlays, furthering our deficit. Yet because of their fers and support, this manufactured crisis will entail the Fed government paying out some the 6 to 17 TRILLIONS of dollars.
It has to be considered how that estimate came about before it became obvious that so many Americans were going to be disabled by the vaxxes. So now every day there is another huge burden on our health care system, in terms of what MediCare and state programs for health insurance will pay out. On top of that, insurance premiums of all types are set to rise.

I believe DJT endorsement for McCarthy is a fantastic strategy.
Makes him non-obstructionist.
Well done Mr. President.
Genius.!!
I voted Trump twice!
Because, he said America First. Something no one said in DC for decades or at least as long as I have been alive. Plus anything other than Clinton.
I’m Independent voter registered and voted Reagan. But stopped voting for president till Trump. I saw the swamp but had no mane for it, till it was coined swamp, by somebody. Cesspool really.
I saw swamp in Trumps Administration. There only two explanations, he was swamp or as you say ” not a multi-layered thinker (4/5 D chess, whatever ) player. Maybe him not being a garbage politician, he got played.
But this supporting one of the biggest swamp creators is a bad look!
Hold fast! Do not let this traitor to our republic get near that gavel.
Wouldn’t it be luverly if Trump would loudly and bigly withdraw his endorsement for McCarthy and switch to Donalds?
The reason: McCarthy selling out to Dems
Everybody Knows – Leonard Cohen
Told a repub on another board last night that this would happen. He scoffed at me and listed several reasons why it wouldn’t happen, mainly that mcFailure wouldn’t give them anything.
I told him that like many repubs, he was stuck in the 80’s……yet here we are.
Gee, ain’t it swell to watch the snake oil salesmen mud wrestle?
Anybody got a list of the 20 who voted Donalds the last time around?
It’s be interesting to compare as the votes happen.
Donald has 4 so far and they’re not thru the Bs yet.
Now he’s up to 7 and they’re not thru the Cs.
don’t now how this compares to previous votes.
I don’t, but I have a different question: there are supposedly 435 House members per online sources. Only 434 have been participating in the vote for Speaker these last two days. Who is missing?
NYTimes has the list of how each one voted each round:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/01/04/us/politics/house-speaker-vote-tally.html
Paywall…
Sorry! It was free before.
Biggs, Bishop, Boebert, Brecheen, Cloud, Clyde, Crane, Donalds, Gaetz, Good, Gosar, Harris, Luna, Miller, Norman, Ogles, Perry, Rosendale, Roy, Self and Spartz…..
And they all voted straight down the line again just now….
And Spartz voted present last two times… Not for Donalds, but anti-McCarthy
Is is the same 20 who were voting for Jordan?
Did they switch to Donalds after Jordan said no? If so, it’s these 20:
Andy Biggs
Dan Bishop
Lauren Boebert
Josh Brecheen
Michael Cloud
Andrew Clyde
Phil Crane
Matt Gaetz
Bob Good
Paul Gosar
Andy Harris
Eli Klein
Anna Paulina Luna
Mary Miller
Ralph Norman
Brandon (Andy) Ogles
Scott Perry
Matt Rosendale
Chip Roy
Keith Self
Wow, Kat Cammack. I sure hope she is primaried next round. Her comment of the 20 holds out was totally disrespectful. She did win her primary by a large margin, but even though I am not in that district, I might send a few dollars to her next primary candidate.
Totally uncalled for to attack the 20 because you want to have a hissy fit and are not getting your way.
The speech was awful.
Sounded like she attended the “RINO Academy of Speech Learnin'”.
All total BS that we’ve heard a thousand times before.
Have you seen any of One-Eyed McCrenshaw’s rants? He is over the top w/nastiness. He declared the hold outs as official enemies.
He’s been my enemy for a long time. WEF-schooled devil.
Dan’s a train wreck for the average person hoping he would be the real thing. What a waste-burger.
Gainesville and Ocala…squishy/pandering Florida GOPe/Corporations/crapweasels stuff up there.
Byron is in my AO…total MAGA. He’s the dude to go with. Checks two boxes, so to speak.
I’ve pointed out in the past what a farce it is voting for “conservative” Republicans when only 54 of the 222 “Republicans” in CONgress were willing to be part of the Freedom Caucus.
Well, it looks like even that has be whittled down to, what, a mere 20 within the caucus itself that aren’t actually Uniparty?
And those 20+ are now giants.
Gaetz played this beautifully.
McCarthy is now a political eunuch, no matter the outcome.
Lost another one. Good job guys
Would Scalise be any better/different than McCarthy?
In my opinion no
^ came from me B71. Scalise has not seemed strong on Trump or AM 1st issues.
Scalise would offer both sides a fresh candidate to come together and support.
Mc Carthy is a failed candidate at this point. No coming back from it.
Has McC moved his stuff out of the Speakers Office yet?
Like you say FPCHmom, there is no coming back from this, the guy is a huge beta male and looking worse each time he loses the vote.
Zeta male. 😉
Scalise is McCarthy without the boyfriend.
No. He is not a good alternative.
Sundance named Scalise as the McCarthy Mini-Me ages ago.
Uh, no.
NO.
I suspect Sundance has it right in the just burn down the republican party though PDT still seems to follow the idea of reform.
The evil has corrupted it so far. When I left the dim party I still refused the r party.
George Washington refused to join any party, I’ll follow his lead.
aww she’s just so cute…
She looks like a child Pelosi.
Sit back and watch. George Soros will not be denied. Democrats will simply be instructed to support George’s pre-selected RINO. This puts him in, and also explains why he already moved in.
Now, for the next two years, this “Republican majority” House is very effectively neutered by Nancy Pelosi’s chosen successor. Soros’ agenda for destroying America, as well as murdering millions of its citizens as “surplus population,” will happily continue thanks to “House Rules.”
Unfortunately, the Founders did not anticipate that Members of Congress could be Traitors.
It’s the Uniparty.
And now it’s completely out in the open.
Start taking names and remembering who was who this week.
The battle has just begun.
So true Oldersoul.
The War is far far from over.
This battle has just begun and it is a bit fun right now.
The creaky old fart RINOs are looking silly.
God Bless America.
What if McCarthy was somehow complicit in J6 and this is why he and his backers are SO desperate the he alone hold on to the Speakership? Shear speculation, but this would explain the desperation better than ambition alone.
Would not surprise me.
I wouldn’t doubt it for a minute. I suspect many with the “R” next to their name were complicit in the Fedsurrection. Definitely McConnell, IMO, and I’m sure others.
The Uniparty has a LOT of dirty secrets to hide, you make a good point History Repeating.
Remember who is not on that list when the time comes.
Especially when they go on and on about MAGA.
Now you can see the strings, and the lies, better.
No one from Minnesota will ever be on that list.
They are all useless neutered gnomes who are afraid of their own shadow, and afraid of Kevie, too.
I called a few and thanked them for their support. The ones I got through were very happy to hear that someone likes what they are doing.
Called three. Got voicemails.
It is hard to catch them live, that is for sure. Sometimes I call their district offices, they are easier to reach, but thenI am not so sure the message gets relayed if the Rep is in DC. At least you tried! It is so important for them to know they have our support. The pressure on them is enormous, all of the Cabal around the world is against these handful of Patriots.
Rosendale – best thing to happen to MT.
PLEASE DO NOT thank Victoria!
She did nothing except pick up her paycheck. What she did takes no courage at all, and I hope the people of Indiana see right through her sorry a88 and boot her from Congress. She should not get a chance to be Senator when she can’t even vote in the House.
This is the Ukranian who pushed us to send $$$ to the adult entertainer terrorist known as Mr Z, because people would suffer.
So Kevin might just go full nuclear and resign, leaving congress for a CNN job. Then the seat is open and waiting for a Cal D to fill it. The humanity.
No so bad. May there be a mass exodus of his supporters and special elections across the country.
The Party Of Capitulation. Don’t expect any of these turds to save this country.
Historic rejection
Our Embarassing pResident has come out and said that this is an embarassment to the country! Ha Ha Ha. Those are fighting words! Now all of a sudden they all want to work together? And do what? Keep on destroying our country! NO THANKS!
Embarrassment to country = naked son smoking crack splashed all over the internet.
Well Joe would know about embarrassing the country he has plenty of experience
doing so..
Agree.

McCarthy just lost the 6th vote for Speaker.
Republicans voting against him and the establishment are true American patriots.
Amongst all the sarcasm and unseriousness, the House electing a Speaker has drawn out and exposed again all the ‘conservative’ controlled opposition media – Fox News, Breitbart News, BlazeTV, and WSJ to name a few. A positive I think.
Newsmax too
Please let the MOCKING begin in earnest!
The smart ones saw all these same frauds in 2016.
Better late than never.
Welcome to the party, pal!
Notable exceptions to the Establishment narrative;
Not many, but about as many proportionately as we’re seeing in Congress with a backbone. Successful revolutions have started with lower percentages of patriots.
Hmm – I may even listen to Dan B again…
Actually Glenn Beck came out today against Mc Carthy!Surprised the heck out of me! He thinks we should keep fighting and stop having the Government keep telling us to Shutup and sit down!
So did Erik Erickson. I read it on Pedro Gonzalez twitter.
@RepMattGaetz
01 Dec 22
Tonight Kevin McCarthy had dinner with Hunter Biden at a state dinner with Macron to rally support for more US aid to Ukraine.
He should not be Speaker.
No he should not
Is that true? That’s disgusting. If it’s true, how could ANYBODY justify voting for this prick?
Nasty guy with the cane has been drinking
ha…He’s NOT Kevin McCarthy.
Ahhhhhh…..But can he be bought? (insert evil $oros laughter here)
Amen.
What a clownshow. I’m absolutely loving it!
As you should.
All we need is some chariots and lions and loaves of bread. It’s gladiator time!
If McCarthy gets in with the help of Democrat politicians, principled Republicans should resign and then run in new elections in their districts as patriots. This will make the Democrat light Republicans lose the house and sink any futher hopes and perhaps lead to the forming of a new party of principled patriots. The Republican party cannot be fixed or reformed with people like McConnell and McCarthy and their large number of supporting cadres. Its collapse will possibly do far more good than harm in the US and make way for new brooms to sweep clean.
They never had the house.
Suggest that you go listen to some of his speeches. He appears to be a real conservative. i have listened to a few of them. He’s more than just black.
What are his actions
Forget about the speeches
Yeah, I remember Pence’s speech at Fort McHenry.
I am watching to see which two republicans vote for the democrat to try to put a squeeze on the conservatives.
BREAKING: Republicans fail to choose McCarthy as House Speaker in sixth round of voting as Donalds received more votes.
@GeneralMCNews
https://t.me/GeneralMCNews/2885
We have been watching this on CNN – then switched over to FOX momentarily – they just have OTHER instead of Donalds – back to CNN!
TALKING HEADS….BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE….
A great American!
Little Kevin McCarthy:
I don’t deserve this… to die like this. I was building a house.
Matt Gaetz:
Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.
Little Kevin McCarthy:
I’ll see you in hell, Matt Gaetz.
Matt Gaetz:
Yeah.
If McCarthy eventually gets in as speaker… Matt Gaetz will be Unforgiven….
I think Gaetz became unforgiven the moment he attempted to see the J6 prisoners but was denied entry to the facility.
We could use a man like Munny.
“All right now, I’m comin’ out. Any man I see out there, I’m gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I’m not only gonna kill him, but I’m gonna kill his wife. All his friends. Burn his damn house down.”
The longer it takes to vote in a uniparty speaker the better.
Cracks in the house of ill repute are causing some information to come out that sheds a little light on the uniparty cabal.
The republican carcus is losing some control of the herd in congress.
I hope more light will be shed on the uniparty rules committe.
It appears the house of ill repute only contains 21 people willing to try and pull back the curtain on the wizard of the house.
Lets have 150 votes if it takes that amount to at least get a speaker that is better than macarthy.
If we end up with pelosi again it wouldn’t surprise me.
Pray.
When a politician doesn’t understand he is a servant of the people!
I have an intense dislike for Keven McCarthy – he reminds me of a used car salesman. He is not an eloquent speaker, he lies and is a squish. There is no way he would make a good Speaker of the House.
That’s an insult to used car salesmen!
Like to sell you an extended warranty
Hahahaha!
Farce level infinity
Here’s my dream scheme:
McCarthy and 5 other RINO’s switch parties, with the Dems agreeing to make McCarthy Speaker.
Since this is all kabuki theater, such a stunt would open the eyes of quite a few people to whom the concept of the Uniparty is alien territory.
Kevin McCarthy is right.
He earned this.
And I am enjoying every minute of it.
Great post!
McCarthy doesn’t care about the will of the people. None of these grifters do.
Could there be any greater illustration of the Uniparty in action than Democrats assisting the GOP in thwarting the will of the American people?
Have you no decency, Mr. McCarthy?
Pirate guy big mad.
What a tool be turned out to be
He has made plenty of money insider trading in the short time he has been there. @UnusualWhales has all the details you need.
Tommy Tuberville too, btw.
Well, he is WEF.
Don’t insult tools!
Get a glass eye you idiot……I think he wanted to be a pirate before he grew up.
Aye matey, it’s Eyepatch McCain! 🙂
GOOD!!!!
Nominate Trump for Speaker!!!
6 time LOSER Kevin McCarthy.
I still LOVE WINNING!
I wrote my Congress Critter about 15 minutes ago for the 4th time in less than 24 hours and asked him if he knew what the definition of insanity was. And I asked how much he liked voting 5 times for the same LOSER? And here we are again…
It playing the Democrat game.. HE is black the Republicans would vote
for the FIRST Black House speaker.. According to dem rule that alone
qualifies him.. you know diversity and all.. I say go for it..
And another mask forever drops.
This time it’s Mike Huckabee.
Want to talk about “Hostage Takers”, Mikey?
Go wander over to the J6 political prison.
yeah saw that. Masks are slipping all over the place now. Burn.It.Down. I’m here for the big ugly
Me too! This is getting good!
He has turn sloth and is doing info commercials for sleep-aid products, it is pretty embarrassing and really bad to see a former Governor and presidential candidate in that position.
Look him up.
Maybe round 7 Kev-meister can seal the deal.
Only with common core math that gives a higher number with fewer votes.
Or some help from the Dems.
All I know is he’s out of Brooklyn originally and lives in SW Florida, Naples area.
I’d wager a guess that the vast majority of reps are unknown to us unless we research them, presuming we’re not political wonks. Average citizens may not even know much about their own district rep.
For some reason a faction has picked him as the face of their voting. Help or hurt him/them? IDK.
People here who say they are in his district say that the district loves him.
I remember hearing him speak once in some interview somewhere, and it was all good.
Now this is what a speaker looks like!
