Day two of the House Speaker battle is scheduled to begin at noon, maybe. Amid the chaos “GOP leaders and aides were still deciding how to proceed on the floor on Wednesday. Top Republicans are giving little indication of any future speaker votes, how long the battle will last, or even whether they’ll hold conference meetings. It’s possible that the House could reconvene on Wednesday only to vote to punt further speaker votes until Thursday.”
Kevin McCarthy is demanding the House Republicans give him his “precious,” an affectionate term for the speaker gavel that is in sight, but just out of reach. Meanwhile, the conservative caucus is not flinching. “It may not happen on the day we want it, but it’s going to happen,” McCarthy said late Tuesday night.
As frustrated spectators CTH readers decry the visibility of the UniParty apparatus, yearning, thirsting for a bold contrast. Well, finally 20 House Conservatives are delivering that battle, the big ugly, and I am happy to see this unfolding with all the brilliant and chaotic mess it deserves. Fight on my friends, fight on. WATCH:
.
Let Day Two of the Big Ugly commence forthwith.
.
Wait, no mention of Trump’s endorsement, lol.
Trump did great things, but often made very poor choices when it came to personnel.
I support Trump, but he does not have a great track record in his personnel selection, seems to me. He has been way too trusting in his appraisal of some swamp rats, thinking he can work with people that merely undermine him.
Trump’s endorsement really is irrelevant in this matter.
This BS about all this being an embarrassment is just the uniparty having a hissy fit about there being some elected officials actually interested in America and the American people. Don’t fall for it. This is a healthy thing.
Courage is contagious!
Those who are standing up to McCarthy….good for them!
McCarthy moving into the Speakers office shows that he and his ilk just thought it would be—Business as Usual.
I am tired of Business as Usual….it ain’t working. This hopefully will give the career politicians like McCarthy a —wake up call.
No matter how this works out—its a beginning……
“This is a healthy thing.”
Quite right. And its politics, which ain’t pretty. Sundance is a good guide for us as the show unfolds
I see that the “Trump is a loser” trolls are out in force today.
VSGDJT has been recovering from near-sinkings so many times one loses count. McCarthy tried to finish President Trump after Jan. 6. And still President Trump is standing, and growing stronger.
Who knows what is going on behind the scenes? I am a Trump supporter and will continue to support him. He always does the right thing, even if he has to utilize RINO assets to get where he is going. He, unlike us, is still navigating the endless minefields created by the MIIC, which has “6 ways to Sunday” to get him, as their day jobs.
Since the Speaker actually doesn’t need to be an elected member if Congress … bring on Donald Trump! Something might actually be does to turn this ship around yet!
Totally agree! Democracy is supposed to be messy; I welcome the congressmen standing up to interrupt the status quo that is CLEARLY not working.
You see again these so called conservative Republicans standing up for McCarthy. You have MTG and Jordan and many others. They are worried about appearances, committee appointments and “maintaining governance. ” All for the American people you understand. They want business as usual.
I have news for them. There is no business as usual anymore folks!! This coming year a huge number of people will “die suddenly.” The House was a large factor in those deaths. They can’t hide the actuary tables forever. The Republican leadership has said that the most import priority above all else is Ukraine. More Americans will die suddenly than all of the Ukrainians and Russians put together. In fact Ukraine is so important to them that they will risk a nuclear exchange with Russia over it. Well if that is the Republican priority I am against the entire process.
What we should be doing is pressuring the Red States to begin the process of departing this insane “Union”. We had better do so before it is no longer possible. Think of 6,000,000, illegal aliens in less than two years. That number does not count legal immigration. It may already be too late. In any event what is left of America does not have very long.
There should have been no business as usual since the presidential election was stolen.
You are correct. I forgot that little point. It invalidates everything from that moment.
You are right. We should have risen up then BEFORE all these other terrible things happened, BEFORE our country was ruined with millions upon millions of illegals that our government intends to support. But of course they will do nothing for the citizens of this country. There is nobody left but We the People. The sooner we realize that and act on it, the better. As George said above “it may already be too late.”
100%. I said I’d never forget or forgive the GOP leaders for walking out on us after that election and I haven’t. Burn it down or form a 3rd party are the only options I’ll settle for….
And aside from that…the person who benefited from the stolen election is soooo disappointed in the Republican Party. He wants Republicans to “get their act together.” He wants Republicans to realize “This is America, man!”
He wants the people to know Democrats try…they lie…and ultimately buy their act. But it’s together.
Trump endorsed him again today.
another nail in his political coffin. Sad. Very sad.
Frank can make him a big, soothing cup of hot chocolate when he gets home!
Exactly.
To be fair, Jordan was punished heavily for challenging McCarthy once before. I can see his stance. MTG? Not so much.
Pretty disappointed in Massie and some others for not stepping up. If Kiev Kev steps aside, we’ll see the real deal.
Anyone want a preview of what 6MM illegals can do? Have a look at one video of Berlin on New Year’s Eve.
Germany’s migrants, welcomed to the once-proud fatherland by progressive EU jackwagon leaders, decided they weren’t hapy with the amount of freebies they’re getting. These folks, many of ’em obedient practitioners of The Religion Of Peace (t.m. reg. GW Bush), attacked the polizei, the citizenry at large, and public buildings:
the German citizenry are not self-armed like Americans are…..you want to see America’s frustration with ILLEGAL ALIENS turned to action……just let them rise up in massive unrest
I would prefer We The People hold an Article V Convention of States. I propose we (1) Repeal the Federal Income Tax and defund the Feds; (2) Forbid indiscriminate money creation; (3) Repeal the Patriot Act and FISA; (4) Return selection of US Senators to the State Legislatures; (5) One Day Elections (24 hours) with Paper Ballots, counted in the Precincts, and immediate election audits; no reporting of counts until 24 hours after all polls are closed.
I don’t think Jordan is scared or worried about appearances. He just doesn’t want to play the role of “King” killer. I think he is playing his current role and when McCarthy has to bow out, he will be nominated and will win more votes than others, but still not enough to win the gavel. Just my 2 cents….who knows how it actually plays out when the RINO’s realize they don’t have enough votes to win. Do they go after the fake “Blue Dog Dems” and get enough votes to push McCarthy over the top with Dem leadership giving them the go ahead to vote for him knowing they will want a RINO McCarthy than a real Conservative.
“When” McCarthy has to bow out? We can only hope; IMO he’s too arrogant and would rather sink us.
“It may not happen on the day we want it, but it’s going to happen”
spoken like a genuine RAPIST.
Or like someone who knows the fix is in?
the guy who forces his will on you whether you want it or not, yes.
aka, a rapist.
That’s it – McCarthy has lost again.
😂

GOOD FIND
” inside the Beltway You ARE FRIENDLY with EVERYONE “
Except Americans.
This is a throw sand into the machine operation in real time
Byron Donalds just voted for himself. He’ll accept the role as where Jordan did not want it.
Beats Scalise whom Mike Davis has just been on Charlie Kirk campaigning for.
Mike Davis’ big thing turns out to be breaking up Big Tech – a worthy cause, but far from the top of our problems now.
In my opinion, tech is imploding on itself without Congressional help since the Twitter Files.
i LIKE Mike Davis and RESPECT HIS View on MOST Things, i Believe that Davis is Looking at AN INCREMENTAL CHANGE instead of A SURGICAL REMOVAL of THE ROT.
Mike Davis IS a CREATURE of THE BELTWAY Since He HAS Been There His WHOLE LIFE.
Kirk and the entire TPUSA organization revealed themselves to be supporters of the establishment over the last 6 months
He voted for Jordan yesterday on vote 3, and I think Jordan made it clear to everyone who voted for him to vote elsewhere today, he did/does not want the position.
McCarthy punished him for challenging him for the gavel in 2018. Took quite a while for him to get back in good graces. I think it’s a survival mechanism. If Kev steps down, his true ambitions will come out immediately
I like Donalds but I don’t know a lot about him. He seems thoughtful, reasoned, and fed up with business as usual. Maybe he’s not the right guy, but at this point anybody but McCarthy works for me.
I forget who said but Pat Buchanan quoted it often while campaigning in ’92 in NH (I was there volunteering everyday)…” A little rebellion now and then is good for the Republic” (paraphrasing)
Going along to get along has led us into hell.
I cannot believe Pres Trump is pushing for McCarthy. KM is a Janus faced, two-timing sellout.
Funny the GOPe seems to like Trump’s endorsement of McCarthy…
Jefferson is quoted as saying the Tree of Liberty needs to be watered with the blood of Tyrants and patriots about every 20 years
MTG is playing the role of the piano player in the House of Prostitution, claiming her colleagues are making unreasonable demands for their favor.
MTG needs to just shut up and play the piano. We know what goes on there and we have reconciled what they take as acceptable when they are otherwise representing their citizens.
We now demand the House elect not the purest, but the individual with a legitimate interest in the well being of the people who supply the resources for the House in which they work to even exist in the first place.
and, I am serious, WHO do you suggest? I see calls for a person that has yet to emerge on stage….does such a person exist and if they do, will they look like and sound like Donald J. Trump? I’m just asking because if it is none present today, then the Dems will take the gavel, won’t they?
How will that happen exactly?
Probably won’t – can’t – happen until McCarthy finally withdraws.
The demoncraps need the same 218 votes to take the gavel.
They don’t have the votes either although they have more votes than Boehner 4.0 has gotten.
That’s the “big ugly”… we have nobody. It’s right there for all the world to see.
I think people are just completely fed up with falling in line with these snakes just because of some imagined and pushed “disaster” if democrats win. They’ve been winning way too much for 4 years and the people asking for the power haven’t even pushed back in the slightest. Is business as usual really winning? If the majority of the party can’t find a consensus on someone besides McCarthy, isn’t that their fault and not the people who think he’s a useless POS and not fit to lead going forward? How is the party the victim when they refuse to even look for one player off the bench?
Byron Donalds has said he would accept the role.
Is it possible for a few Democrats to cross over and vote for McCarthy when they see that some conservative has even a small chance to be elected Speaker? Of course, this will take some give and take from the potential Speaker, who will gladly comply!
The truly embarrassing part of this is that there is only 20 conservative members of the Republican Caucus, not even 10%.
Video – Day Two Speaker Drama, Kevin McCarthy Demands His Precious
You mean Frank, the Oxycontin Queen?
Kevin McCarnell cannot be Speaker.
He was just as much a part of the Stolen Election Coup against the People as were Pelosi, Schumer, Obama and Mitch.
Don’t worry; the Republicans won’t elect a Democrat as their leader–that would be too honest.
Rest in the Vine: TRUMP/BOEBERT 2023!
Byron Donalds…I don’t know much about him except that Chip Roy has confidence in him. Can any Treepers fill me in? Is he truly a conservative?
Yes he is! And a MAGA warrior.
And he’d be GREAT!!! So, would the Dems vote against the FIRST BLACK Speaker?
Trump endorsed mcFailure again today. If he made a deal with him, he should be up front about it.
If there were a deal, I wonder if it is the same kind(s) that he made with a multitude of backstabbing, sewer rats in the past?
He hasn’t been up front about much for some time sadly. Most likely more brilliant advice from the same malicious toadies that got us here.
Woohoohoohoo LOL. Gaetz just stood up and announced that “I am casting my historic vote for” Byron Donalds. Those are the words used by several of the grandstanding Democrats when they have voted for Jeffries.
This is the healthiest development in modern politics.
There is no doubt McCarthy has the backing of Big Business.
The House of Representatives, however, is supposed to represent THE PEOPLE.
McCarthy has shown himself as a self-absorbed narcissist without the necessary humility, accommodation attitude and skills to lead. He has already shown a vengeful side to “get even” with those who do not support him.
The reason he cannot compromise is he is already bought and paid for. Some very big donors have IOU’s from Kevin McCarthy, and those IOU’s contain lots of specific demands from the rich.
When has the last time most of these clowns have represented their districts.
Uh – never.
why what in the world do you mean?….they represent them every election cycle……until immediately after the results are announced
I’m tired of living through historical times.
Kevin “Smeagol” McCarthy. LOL
Is Trump going to come out now and say Donalds is much worse option than KM?
I am enjoying the political bloodshed. It is long past time for this. I heard on Breitbart this morning more lamenting about “ideologues” being the bane of getting things done. Well, I think that Mr. Marlow mistakes standing on principle for rigid political orthodoxy. The price of a republic is messy politics, public debate, disagreement, compromise, and laws that protect the freedom of each individual citizen.
Our national politics are nothing but going on and getting along for the benefit of groups and certain individuals. As George Carlin properly observed, “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it!”
i WISH THE MAN was ALIVE to COMMENT on THESE TIMES ! OH, The Material for HIS WRATH !
Who was the Black rep who just stood up and spouted off something or the other about another form of slavery? Was it the Guam tip over guy? Also, did anyone catch what he said?
No, Guam tip guy is Johnson from GA
He’s an embarrassment to GA – his district is metro-Atlanta area.
I think he is one of those “brilliant” holders of a JD in congress….makes you wonder first how they got into law school and then WHO took the bar if they have passed as many have….the only amazing thing about many of them is their level of stupidity
”They” can’t pour water out of a boot.
Nothing amazes me anymore … sadly, the majority in this country doesn’t have one iota of good judgment/sense. Our prior generations would shake their heads in disbelief.
GREEN of TEXAS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Green_(politician)
and NO, He’s NOT the TIP OVER GUY – that WAS ANOTHER HIGHLY EDUCATED Politician from GA
( read the Comments ! )
It was that idiot Al Green from Houston, TX. He was the congressman for my district. He and Sheila Jackson-Lee are cut from the same cloth and embarrass Houstonians every time either one opens his/her mouth.
BTW, Al Green used to be the local head of the NAACP. He is a grievance guy.
Jordan still backing McCarthy
Google pays the piper, Google picks the tune.
This is Jordan’s weakness. Big Tech has him pinned.
There are very few who are not compromised to some degree at this strata.
Still better than Ukraine Kevin at this juncture.
Rep John James MI-10 Falls inline with McCarthy
Bad move John.
So, now that PDJT has re-endorsed the McCarthy, does that mean we can start liking DeSantis again?
Seeing how they both seem willing to deal with the Devil.
But DeSantis has at least not declared his intention to run (i.e. deal with the Devil) YET.
I mean, we’ve lied about him, slimed him, dissed him. All he’s done is accepted money to up his profile, so far. We have no idea if he’s going to stab PDJT in the back (and himself) by declaring for 2024.
Meanwhile, our hero is actually endorsing the Devil, and we seem content to let him off the hook.
Perhaps there are unknown reasons and schemes out of sight that we know nothing about.
Isn’t politics fun!
A good protocol I follow is never trust anyone publicly endorsed by Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush. He’s already failed that and with only 5% of his coffers given to him by the people, I find it hard to believe he’ll serve them relentlessly. There are no coincidences in politics. Trump still believes some of these people are his friends, and McCarthy unfortunately has quite a bit of pull on the hill, for now. When the biggest snakes in our countrys history and the money people like the Kochs, Mercers, Griffins and Dixons
come out and praise Trump, I’ll see the two situations as equal. Sorry my friend, still Trump or stay home over here…
I recall all the blather about James’ being a Vet and a patriot, and how he was going to be a force of nature….and then this.
haha
James is a disappointment, sadly, but that was clear in the aftermath of the stolen Michigan vote in 2020. John James was ripped off to a greater degree even than President Trump, but never spoke a word of protest about it…at the time, it would have been extremely helpful for him to stand with Trump in decrying the obvious theft, but John James apparently took the advice of the RINOs to keep quiet in exchange for their assistance in 2022. Don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed in James.
Interesting that Our President has seemingly strongly endorsed McCarthy today after “conversations” last night. I don’t see that he would be doing this without McCarthy agreeing to some strong conditions for the endorsement. There’s way too much riding on this.
The problem is Trump believing anything from these people at this juncture. Like sleaze ball McCarthy is going to do a 180 at Trump’s behest. As Trump sits on the sideline, still talking about the shining warp speed, as a black man keels over and dies on national tv.
Trump needs to get busy backing away from Ye. Word is that Jews here and in Israel are waiting, waiting for Trump to wipe off the blot of antisemitism that landed on him when Ye and Nick Fuentes showed up for dinner.
People who think like this about an unfortunate incident are why the GOP are losers. Saying nonsense like this while dems sit with pictures of Mao behind them in interviews and sit on intel committees while sleeping with foreign spies is unacceptable. You have a whole group of dems backing BDS, but that dinner was the worst thing ever? Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem, praised Bebe and backed Israel against every Palestinian power play, yet they still voted overwhelmingly for democrats in the very next election. Time to quit the identity politics game. How about dropping all the condemn BS and focusing on policies and the power struggle you’re losing in DC? This honestly sounds like a comment from a fan of the establishment backed governor from Florida rather than a serious concern…
Good grief. You definitely do not know me. Maybe you have not driven past my house where my Trump sign is proudly displayed in my front yard. I voted for him before and I intend to vote for him again.
The Jews could only feel betrayal if first there was trust or at least hope. Apparently there was hope, enthusiasm, and pride in Israel when Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem. I’ve heard that there is a square and a street named for Trump in Jerusalem.
I’ve heard two commentators say that there are confused emotions in Israel that easily could be calmed if Trump would stand up and make it clear that he stands with Israel and the Jews.
It’s OK Kevin, little pencilneck is not happy either. Hmmmmm?
Lol
“I am happy to see this unfolding with all the brilliant and chaotic mess it deserves. Fight on my friends, fight on.”
Chaos always wins … … … because it’s better organized.
Why did McCarthy move into the Speakers office?
The curtains are measuring him.
HUBRIS
who are these 20?? think we owe phone calls and emails to encourage them to continue standing up
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-speaker-vote-19-republicans-sided-against-mccarthy-first-vote
Also, contact your representative and ask why he or she isn’t voting against McCarthy and the Uniparty.
mine is a traitor to the republic and prefers the election-denying Marxist Jefferies
My congressman, Andrew Clyde, is one of them. I emailed him my thanks. Someone posted the list last night. I can’t find it now. But we should be calling all 20 and telling them to stand strong.

No more Omnibus bills!
Separate, balanced budgets for each cabinet department.
Start with a 25% cut on everything this year.
…too late,
the signed o bu$ already over funds for most of
‘this year’..
( and under funds border wall etc )
Then set the budget for next year, NOW. Don’t wait until the last minute, when the left uses all of their victomhood arguments.
Cut the waste, and don’t cross the aisle to compromise.
The next budget for 10/1/2023-9/30/2024 is due to Congress by the illegal Resident on Feb 1.
THAT bill is UNCONSTITUTIONAL…..as per the US Constitution——ALL spending measures must originate in the House……that was a Senate bill
IF PDJT is pushing K M there HAS to be something going on we don’t know about. HOW MANY TIMES has he had us scratching our head trying to figure out the briar patch he has gotten himself thrown into ?
Does Trump still think that the jab is safe and effective? I love what he did, but he isn’t perfect either.
BS. Trump’s heavy endorsement is self serving. There is no 7 dimension chess here.
Trump has to kiss somebody’s behind too. Doesn’t pay to be too naive about all this. But I’m sorry, McC walked around with Ukraine pins and colors on, apparently all he is interested in is keeping defense contractors rich & starting WW3 with Russia & China. I have read MTG is sidling with Israel, hence her vote. These Repubs are morons. There are too many people paying attention now to go back to the same old.
MASSIE VOTED For McCarthy AGAIN… WHY ?
Something rotten in the state of Denmark . How does PDJT save this country if all he can talk about is saving the SWAMP !??
Who’s the viable alternative?
Don’t worry – someone will arise – we have 183 more votes to break the record. We just need to add 1 or 2 each vote to get Byron Donalds in there.
Slowly, slowly wins the race.
And best of all, it ties up ALL House business until completed
130 rounds would set a new record….current record is 133 rounds
A government that can’t convene to pass yet another Omnibus that robs Americans blind for DC’s benefit. Let the bureaucrats eat swamp.
thats a good question
Sounds like some are drunk already
Power-drunk.
great – now if only we could see punches fly.
not figuratively. start hitting each other. on camera.
I’m very disappointed in President Trump regarding his support for Kevin McCarthy as speaker. My guess is that McCarthy made a few promises to PDJT, promises that he won’t deliver on.
PDJT seems to be losing his sharpness. Yes, he’s made bad personnel decisions along the way, but you expect he would learn by now.
I don’t know what to do (as a MAGA supporter) because I don’t see an alternative (certainly not DeSantis).
Or he lied to PDJT about them being close to a deal with the rebel caucus.
Kevin’s promises aren’t worth the stolen ballots they’re written on.
Maybe it was ever thus and you just now see it differently?
My hunch is PDJT knows that McCarthy is toast.
One way or another, as a weakened house speaker or defeated.
PDJT is playing a masterstroke of politics.
PDJT has traversed greater issues than this, and 2024 is far,far away.
Love PDJT, but that seems a stretch.
How exactly is endorsing slime (a second time, mind you), a “masterstroke of politics”?
When (if) he’s defeated – how does that make PDJT look good? Just the opposite is true, surely?
What’s a “weakened” House Speaker? How does THAT help?
Weak means you “lose for sure, in twenty four”.
One of the chief failings of PDJT is his inability to choose reliable allies. I can only put this down as PDJT accepting a bitter pill because that’s the reality of the situation.
So, hardly a “masterstroke”, and not even a “minorstroke”
I sure don’t know.
But getting elected President of the U.S.A. suggests at least a minimal of political insights.
Never mind he was playing against a stacked deck, 17 Republicans including Cruzbots, Bushies, the RINO media shills.
Then the Clintons..
From Day 1 he was betrayed, Ryan, Fox News, McConnell his V.P.
Then the 24/7 lies and innuendos of criminality, and threats of impeachment ( By his own Party F.F.S.)
The man is a rock…a Diamond.
Patience..read his book the art of the comeback.
Me..I am just another guy plonking away on an iPad.
I’m with DJT!! However, I live in Florida and DeSantis has been an awesome governor. I’m hoping he will wait for a run after our VSG. The man is no BS, so please don’t write him off for the future.
I know a whole lot of people (in and out of public life) who are “no(t) BS”. Not being BS is not an inherent qualifier to be POTUS.
Rush has to be spinning in his grave, those two mindless oafs are calling these 20 Rebels.
“20 Rebels”
Has a nice ring to it. Reminds me of those who drew up the Declaration.
Genesis 50:20
“As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.”
Fifty States, Twenty Rebels. Praise God!
I guess you would have had to have heard them. Seemed quite derogatory to me.
The Ruling Class called the Founding Fathers Rebels too.
Star Wars taught generations that the Rebels were heroes standing up to an “invincible” evil Empire.
Only thing I demand is, when McCarthy goes down someone needs to do a meme clip of Gaetz as Luke Skywalker, McConnel as Tarkin, the other members of the 20 aboard the Falcon riding to rescue and with McCarthy’s head as the Death Star.
Matt Gaetz
@mattgaetz
McCarthy is losing it.
He texted one of my colleagues who didn’t vote for him:
“I am ready to fund an endless war”
I’m assuming this is in *addition* to Ukraine.
After 10+ years working for county/state GOP and Tea Party candidates , the hardest lesson I learned, and the one that took me way too long to accept is that –
The GOP will rather lose any seat to a democrat rather than see it go to a true patriot.
This includes the Speaker’s seat.
Donald Trump is the first to counter their “burn it to the ground” strategy. I’ve not seen anyone else.
against the US itself.
Forget who said it, but our Republic has an auto-immune disease. Rotting from the inside, out.
With every failed vote, McCarthy gets weaker and weaker, regardless of the outcome.
No mandate.
Hold the line, Rebels. They will eventually blink. RINOs always cave in the end.
Remember (2017 I think) when Boehner was hanging by his nails for Speaker? When the drama ended with a crucial vote, he cried like a baby.
These are sick people.
“ Hold the line” was our rallying cry at our Canadian Trucker Convoy rally’s.
Trudeau blinked, the Conservative ( fake) leaders were replaced in Alberta and Federally. As they were equivalent of your RINOs
Folks the world over see the deception and lies of their elitist scum leaders.
It must be remembered that we are only a few years post Scamdemic, the fraud of 2020.
Dynasties etc crumble slowly then collapse.
Cheers!
The reason RINOs always cave in the end once confronted is because they don’t stand for anything worth dying for. Never with their own blood and lives; only those of others.
Basically, they don’t stand for anything noble that is greater than themselves.
TY!!!
He can’t help himself, his arrogance is oozing out all over.
Not a good look.
And does this mean he has reason to believe Ukraine is going to be another Iraq?
LOL 5th ballot! It’s great to finally see the status quo challenged. Many here have their hair on fire when they should be enjoying this. If McCarthy ends up getting in, all America First concessions will be made. If not, the establishment will be dealt it’s biggest blow since 2016. Lighten up and enjoy the show, yall. After 21 and 22, do you truly, in your heart, see yourself any worse off after this stand by 20 brave people, no matter the outcome? You can drive a truck 100k miles with a suspect transmission because you don’t want to suffer the pain of rebuilding it, but sooner or later it strands you on a dark highway at midnight and you have to do it anyway. Relax….
Quite a number are RINO shills and still suckling at the FNC teat. Ignore them.
These 20, and maybe more, will be forever smiled upon by deeper history.
They finally stood up, and said no.
Yes. This is the first meaningful change to the GOP in 8 years. I see some backbone
REBELS
STAND YOUR GROUND
WE ARE WITH YOU 100%
Agree: this is a healthy fight!
Just in time to distract from the latest Twitter release.
I don’t think this is one of those things. This IS it. These 20 brave souls are fighting because of the twitter release. MSM isn’t going to cover the twitter releases either way. This fight will likely only be covered to say, “Trump is losing his endorsement power.” Most Americans don’t care who the speaker of the House is. Although this vote actually is significant, I think it’s a little too inside baseball to get much media play beyond a Trump angle.
Fritzilgatto they can save Kevin by switching to mail in and computer balloting . Problem solved .
Its all staged BS because Kevin will be installed. tick tock
Trump knows this which is why he endorsed him.
So afraid you’re right!
luv and respect MP, but so hoping he’s wrong…just this once…
BURN IT ALL DOWN!
McCarthy is now a 4 time LOSER.
These 20 congressmen/women are not rebels. Let us label them for what they truly are. They’re conservatives, conservatives that take to heart what our Founding Fathers studied, understood, warned and subsequently implemented. We, for a change are publicly witnessing how the GOP loathes conservative governance. You are witnessing the country club Republican’s at work. They cannot fathom conservative leadership. It is antithetical to their donors and to their individual beliefs. The only acceptable leadership is a faux conservative moderate, nothing more or nothing less. If they truly embraced conservatism they would easily coalesce around a conservative congressman and seal the deal. It has to be a mushy moderate. I believe the GOP will burn it all down before they agree to a conservative leader.
The Uniparty faction is getting DESPERATE.
Firstly, they are floating the notion of option #4; that McCarthy would make a deal with Democrats, to get them to give him the votes he needs.
And, they are starting to float a Uniparty ‘alternative’ Scalise, which is a BAD choice, and hopefully the 20 won’t fall for it.
Chip Roys nomination was a brilliant ploy, it throws the whole ‘rascism’ thing right back in their faces, so lovin it.
If this takes weeks or months, let it.
PDJT’s endorsing McCarthy was, IMHO a mistake.
Leaders NEED a ‘rear view mirror’; they can not lead people where they are unwilling to go.
Its why I have supported PDJT’s position on COVID, although that dynamic is constantly changing.
I just haven’t seen the POLITICAL advantage in PDJT come out strongly against the Vax.
And, I just don’t see that PDJT endorsing McCarthy was a “good thing”, IMHO he should have stayed out of it, although its a good thing that McCarthy, in desperation was FORCED to reach out to PDJT.
However, given McCarthy’s work to insure MAGA candidates lost in the midterms, PDJT should have refuses to endorse McCarthy.

Still WINNING!
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Speaker from one of the states where Americans are actively moving.
We don’t need a 2nd Speaker in a row from California or from New York. Both of those states are losing population. That should be a indicator of some kind.
Start calling all the RINO Reps who wont vote for Donalds “racist” and watch them fall in line.
