The eleventh round of votes for a House Speaker ended the same way as the ten before it.
Ballot round #11 fails. No majority speaker elected.
Rather than attempting to continue voting amid a landscape of futility, and without Kevin McCarthy accepting defeat in his life quest to be Speaker of The House, the chamber voted to adjourn.
Initially a voice vote on the adjournment failed, the democrats won and wanted to force the republicans to continue. However, an electronic accounting of the yeas and nays resulted in a majority decision to adjourn until noon tomorrow, Friday, January 6th.
The backroom bartering and negotiations will now commence; drinks will be had, promises will be made, votes will be purchased, and perhaps a successful path toward a republican speaker will be found. On the upside, for the past three days no taxpayer monies have been spent.

McCarthy voted for:
– same sex marriage
– vax mandates for military
– $100B for Ukraine
– to use Medicare to fund USPS
– drafting of women
– J6 committee
– DC as the 51st state
– amnesty for DACA
And more…

And removing people from Twitter:
According to a new book, McCarthy asked his colleagues “Can’t they take their Twitter accounts away, too?”
https://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-mccarthy-this-will-not-pass-book-twitter-ban-republicans-2022-4?op=1
But he will be conservative now according to the usually establishment rino’s .
Keep up the fight as we really need the change in leadership.
Yikes! No wonder the GOP establishment was in such a hurry to shut him up and get him out of Congress. Thanks for telling the TRUTH congressman … err… former congressman. 🙁
Never do anything you wouldn’t want to be caught dead doing.
…or be recorded doing
That’s dated March 30, 2022 – first time seeing that one. Was this hid by Twitter?
Thanks for noticing that.
I found a Politico article about it: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/30/mccarthy-cawthorn-lost-trust-orgy-cocaine-comments-00021816
Next we’ll find out he has a private Island in the Carribean.
it’s called DC…no reason to travel when babylon has been recreated in nearly every “institution”.
the rubes (non congressional members) fly offshore. members are protected.
remember that hush money slush fund we found out about years ago…tax payers money btw.
that still exists.
here is how that probably works: someone inside the beltway witnesses a crime committed by a member, or just some filthy conduct. That never goes to court. One of the congressional staffers makes a call and someone walks an attorney over to the victim/witness with a legal document and a bag of cash.
when WAS the last time you saw an actual person (outside of President Trump and his associates) accused in an actual courtroom …even civil?
who needs a private island..? it already exists.
God Bless America
Conservative score 54%.
Liar and wanted to shutter Twitter accounts. If he wants to null speech, what other rights does he want to remove? 4th 5th, 2nd?
It would depend on what is offered in exchange. Most of these guys are career politicians and are open to do whatever the highest bidder requests.

As long as men have to register for the draft before they can gain the right to vote, it seems perfectly fair to me that women should also have to register for the draft before they can gain the right to vote. Why should a right like that automatically be conferred on women when they reach the age of 18 when that same right is only conferred on men if they accept the responsibility of potentially being drafted into the military? The current arrangement reeks of feminist ideology, which says that that women should enjoy the same rights as men without having to bear the same responsibilities or make the same sacrifices.
If in 1942 FDR and Congress had announced that women were going to be drafted, just like men, most men, drafted or not, if still stateside, would have stormed DC and burnt it to the ground.
never forget that womn have rights whil men have responsibilities. to loose sight of that reality is to not understand the direction america is going and why our constitutional republic is dying.
new world order.
Your post cause my tooth to get lose.
I do not think women belong in any kind of front line combat unit BUT if they are going to insist that they can do ANYTHING a man can do, then they should definitely have to register for the draft!
(I also take issue with women being firefighters and police officers IF they do not have to meet the same physical standards as the male recruits do – IF they can do the job, I don’t care about their sex BUT if they only got hired because they checked a box then that is WRONG! And every true feminist I know would agree with that!)
Agree
Police women are needed to perform tasks that men should avoid at all costs. As an example, female police officers have to strip search women for drugs and weapons.
The worst so called men beat the crap out of the best of women.
Women get men killed because they’re not men.
It’s ok to be different.
It’s libtard suicide to deny reality.
Ukraine has some female snipers, but mostly medics. They actually can be better at some things.
Absolutely agree! In fact I will go a step further. I am sick and tired of women being police chiefs, fire dept. chiefs, mayors, etc. etc. Men should not have to work under the authority of a woman. It’s demeaning – and they cannot do the same things as men because they are NOT men. People wonder what’s happened to our men – this is an example. Hey, let them register for the draft and put them on the front lines.
I do not have a problem with ANYONE being in a position of authority that they have EARNED! I have family members who are police officers and firefighters and they have women in their departments that they absolutely love and respect and they have men in their departments who are lazy or incompetent and vice versa!! It is a matter of qualifications…and that is my biggest frustration with ANY kind of “affirmative action” program! The people who work their butts off deserve to be rewarded for that and the people who don’t work at all don’t deserve to wear the badge!
I work in a female dominated industry and I have seen the best and worst women have had to offer as managers and leaders. The big difference is that men will tell/signal you up front they don’t like you or your ideas, women will smile and stab in you back. Very generally speaking. I would take issue with your statement, as a man, because I’ve seen women excel in positions of authority that they had earned and were well qualified to do. However, I’d probably prefer to work with a majority men organization, because I don’t always like looking over my shoulder. It’s not a “good old boys” thing, just a preference on how I interact with people. Also, good leaders, regardless of sex, are a rare thing.
There are differences between men and women, physically and psychologically. In certain professions that could have life and death consequences. But that doesn’t necessarily make men the better authority figure in all situations.
I work in the commercial interior architecture profession.
If I do not tell the hard truth when necessary, my client will lose money, manage badly and things might fall down and hurt someone.
You will always hear the truth from me. Always. I do not care whose feelings I hurt.
Yes. I object to generalities in this regard.
I was an electrical engineer, network engineer and Unix systems person for 42 years. 90+% of the industry was/is male during my time in it. The 3 female bosses I had were backstabbing, petty mediocrities. Of the male bosses, just 2 were good, the rest were also mediocre petty tyrants.
Your gender does not make you a better boss, your brain does.
I understand your position, yet I refer to Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir.
OK…Cleopatra, Bhutto, Sirimavo Bandaranaike, Indira Gandhi, Abigail Adams, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir…
And then we can try Biblical times, Ancient Greece…
Wow, its demeaning for men to work for women? That’s just ridiculous, and you just demeaned women as an entire group.
I’m a woman, retired USAF, who rose through the ranks on merit, in a “man’s” profession, avionics. I earned my position and the respect of my peers. And I’m certainly not the only woman to do so.
Research Maggie Thatcher, you might learn something
I’ll compromise. Women can do combat for one week, every 28 days.
I will do one better…rabid intel…365/24/7.
There is no way a woman is going to take down a man! I don’t care your size or strength a man can over power a woman easily. Physical strength of a man as twice that of a woman. Don’t send a policewoman to me. I want a policeman and a men soldiers ! You can pretend all you want but don’t put lives in danger for a social experiment.
A gun is a great equalizer.
as a father to a daughter I also agree..and I would go one farther to make the point of clearer.
any person not capable, man or woman, should not be able to or allowed to perform a combat role requiring extraordinary skills and abilities. This is a military doctrine that I support.
I’ve seen many MEN totally incapable of performing a task, and many who are just physically incapable.
everyone gets a trophy is the most insufferable tragic comedy of rational policies that the military has EVER allowed.
There were MANY missions that put me at the very edge of my capability…it’s not a place for also rans. never should be. It demoralizes good faith team work to do so.
God Bless America
This is the mantra and it makes no sense. The skill set to fight is not the same skill set to vote intelligently. Just because you are old enough to fight doesn’t mean you are smart enough to vote. The Dems want it because young people have limited life experiences and are very easy to influence and they don’t have brains. The voting age should be raised to 21 but it won’t.
30.
I’ll raise you a property owner. At least co-signed the loans.
Or lose one’s franchise when going on the dole.
Too many young women marry the government instead of their children’s progenitor.
I mentioned this ‘historic’ precedent to a black man one night. He went ballistic. I asked him if he owned property.
He said , “Yes.”
I wished him a great night.
…And they are primed to vote Democrat by their public schools. Actually, groomed might be the more apt word at this point.
That’s a very interesting viewpoint.
Women.have no place in combat. Sending in all.the people who don’t know their plumbing is for in first however seems like a great reason to.start a war, anywhere.
There are many noncombat roles women could be filling.
I tend to agree with your thoughts. The old argument doesn’t really apply anymore, because “conventional” ground wars are less common today. Oh sure, there’s still plenty. Technology has changed war as well. When you look at the military overall, it mirrors most of society meaning you have mechanics, cyber warriors, cooks, administrative and on and on.
There’s no reason not to have a draft for women if it’s required of men. In reality though, we shouldn’t do it at all. Volunteer military has proven to be far superior approach. A draft really shouldn’t be necessary; it’s just held over their heads.
Better thought. Let’s downsize the military to a defensive force. Enough with the adventurism.
Marmocet,
No qualms about that. Israel already does this. However, if any of your troops have a better handle on types of warfare, they should be trained in their strength.
Some of the best IC officers are women, so train accordingly.
Of course, if you are inclined, I recall this scene from Aliens.

whew! wow! whoa! … I didn’t know
why?
Yep, McCarthy is as bad as most politicians and has certainly earned his position as a ‘leader’ in the professional liars club. Just don’t kid yourself in to thinking most of his peers don’t act as horribly when given the opportunity.
In other words, he’s just a male version of Nanzi Pewlousy.

Can we find a speaker that loves our country just a liitle more than currency?
Currency worthless in both Heaven and hell and very soon worthless upon the Earth.
As Christian I seriously don’t understand these people.
Christians have enormous difficulty understanding why people would put money ahead of all else. Satanists on the other hand have no such problems.
Thanks for pointing that out. What a disgusting POS that man is. Wait a minute, are we still allowed to call men men?
Same. They can win or lose without my funding.
AND he threatens those who won’t for him AND moved into the Speakers office before any voting!
Arrogant SOB doesn’t begin to cover this RINO radical.
Does Lara Logan have reading comprehension problems?
McCarthy voted AGAINST making DC the 51st state which is in agreement with Liberty Score.
McCarthy voted AGAINST the J6 Committee.
McCarthy voted AGAINST amnesty for DACA recipients.
Everyone should go to that web site and verify for themselves.
Sheesh. I know people hate McCarthy, I do too, but nobody should be lying about him.
—-
Also, many of us are fine with same sex marriage and drafting women into the military.
but F on the Conservative Liberty Score at 54%. Kevin only votes a little more than 1/2 for Conservative positions over liberal ones. EGAD THIS GUY IS TOXIC for our country.
America voted for traditional marriage over and over! Women should never be drafted
It’s like watching re-runs of the original Batman series …
“Same Bat time, same Bat channel”
Toss a different vowel in there and you’ll nail it!

January 6.
It would be poetic justice if the next vote finished him off.
In God’s name we pray for just such a send off.
Amen, Intense.
And then MTG’s statement ties in with that.
“Good things are coming.
Hold a little longer.”
Congratulations, President Trump! First President to be nominated for Speaker of the House?
Perhaps MTG was referring to more windfalls from her stock from defense spending for Ukraine.
Speaking of windbag$
That gag-worthy photo of Lindsey is the worst. Gawd.
We also know that Lindsey met with ISIS leaders with the traitor John McCain. Here is a picture of them together.
Damn, I like her. Lets make her Speaker of the House.
Or MTG could be playing a Donald Trump long game. Vote for the traitors and come back to bite when they least expect.
Sun Tzu: “Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
She’s not that bright,
But President Trump is…why you think Matt Gaetz did what he did tonight, and why do you think President Trump will be on the ballot tomorrow…January 6th? Do you believe that is a coincidence?
Any bets on how many votes Trump gets tomorrow?
One if Gaetz votes for him again.
Is that who did it? lol
Probably 1, if Matt nominates him at all. Not much enthusiasm from the crowd.
Telling in the House, no? With a majority R??? LOL! May as well be Marxist merriment!
It will be glorious if PT is voted in or out. We will have the floor votes as evidence.
But first you have to cut some.dumb broad”s head off.
You left that key detail out.
I highly suspect that is real reason for Dan Crenshaw meltdown.

Nominate a Statesman over a politician? Novel idea. There’s only been a couple the last 100 years. And Reagan is gone. Who’s left……?
I got it all figured out.
Trumps going to win speaker tomorrow January 6 2023 two years to the day after the real insurrection.
And the Supreme court will take the Trumpet brothers lawsuit and rule in their favor removing Biden and Harris elevating Trump back into the Presidency!
Nice dream huh?
I thought so too.
Never hurts to dream. Lotto is back up, the $2.00 dream.
.
What ‘really’ should happen:
-The Brunson case is accepted for review — hence, the 2020 election is in limbo.
-Some form of ‘MAILED-OUT ballot shenanigans’ was presented on J6,2021, by Rep. Dr. Paul Gosar, AZ, before ‘somebody did something’ which set in motion the events of the last Congress certifying contested electoral votes.
-The above being the only ‘entity’ which got a bona fide protest of the electoral votes on record should give that ‘entity’ standing for a quo warranto action to remove Bribem and the Cackler from their occupation, and sit that ‘entity’ as president until the SC makes their ruling.
Dear God, Please Help us save our country!
That’s been my dream for more than a year.
AMEN!
And all traitors were found guilty by a non transgender military tribunal and immediately executed for treason.
There , now it’s a wet dream
What would honestly be a Interention from Our Lord Jesus Christ..
Would be this..
Trump nominated,, AND…
#WINNING the Position of Speaker of the house..
THAT would be EPIC!.
(On jan 6th no-less..)
one can dream, right? 🤣🤣😎
I meant Divine Intervention..
Tomorrow is Epiphany, some Divine Intervention supporting the Rebel Alliance would be grand.
A comet hitting dc would suffice.
Are taking bets how far this will go?
I say 50 and someone will give up.
17

Given what McCarthy’s camp has been pushing the past few weeks/months, I don’t believe anything coming from their side. As Gaetz said, the rules can be waived at any time. It seems like a lot in McCarthy’s camp are trying an end-around with these changes, only to go back on them later.
What about ONE issue per bill — rather than dozens of pork add-ons — and how about giving legislators a minimum of three days to actually read a bill?
Both are in their list of demands.
I know, but have no confidence McCarthy would agree to those.
No bill should be as thick as a Harry Potter novel.
1 day to read a bill that addresses a single issue AND you must be present in the chamber to vote yes or no on it.
Ha.
The Congress people would have 1 day to actually read the single bill, and then make a vote, and be transparent about it.
Excellent idea.
I want all that w/out McCarthy being Speaker.
.
THIS!!!!
President Trump would do that. McCarthy would not, of course.
Blame the GOP Senators. They’re not willing to convict Brandon.
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/06/republican-senators-mccarthy-impeachment-00072420
Look at this precious quote from Romney:
“Someone has to commit a high crime or misdemeanor for that to be a valid inquiry. I haven’t seen any accusation of that nature whatsoever. There are a lot of things I disagree with … but that doesn’t rise to impeachment.”
He’s saying that before the House has even done an investigation and presented evidence. But somehow Trump was worth impeaching despite no evidence.
I see Romney as a door-greeter for Hell.
He looks great in red.
THAT is absurd!!!!
Doesn’t anybody find this new offer of pretty much giving up everything to the holdouts kind of strange? He is so desperate to get this job he will now give them everything they are asking for-in writing-with no strings attached? Who is advising him to do this stuff?
My spidey sense says something is very fishy here. 11 rounds against him and he won’t withdraw his name. Something just doesn’t add up and that means we the people will be on the short end as usual and the last to know the facts.
He will Manchin them. It’s a suckers play.
McCarthy is not the one, I don’t care what concessions he supposedly makes. Remember PDJT’s story about the lady and the snake.
It’s Nonsense To Say The Anti-McCarthy Speakership Crowd Has No Specific Requests
https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-nonsense-to-say-the-anti-mccarthy-speakership-crowd-has-no-specific-requests
I keep hearing this talking point, a la Hannity as well. No one wants to come right out and say well, it’s because Kevin McCarthy is a full fledged Rino.
He’s uniparty
Blow it all up, put out the embers and vacuum the ashes.
Piss on it to put out the embers.
Hannity’s 200 are nothing to Boebert’s 20. The 20 are bigger than The One. McCarthy is not The One.
As Comrade Adams said a while ago, the 10% who control the middle control the entire outcome. The 20 Republicans (roughly 10% of the caucus) here control the entire House right now.
As our Founders intended. If the majority won’t meet the minority in the middle, well, you know.
What the dumbed down public doesn’t understand is that this is what its’s supposed to be in the House and the Senate. And the dumbed down public also doesn’t understand that for at least the last 70 years, as long as the Republicans got their nests feathered, they were willing to give in without much of a fight.
We got some real Republicans showing up the rest of the “Republicans” what being in the minority really means.
God bless and keep everyone of them.
As do revolutions.
Hannity showed his true-colors in that interview. Rin0blueu.
I am not certain how awful Hannity’s acting coach was into the demand of Paul Ryan.
“Get out there and ACT!!!! And keep your FBI and CIA buttons on!”
No worries, McCarthy and his minions will ensure he becomes speaker by hook or crook. Bribe, threaten and/or blackmail.
Cannot stand the rino hypocrites!
With Republicans like McConnell and McCarthy who needs dems.
Think there might something about the Irish going on here.
Two Mc’s and Biden who claims he’s Irish, when he not a Puerto Rican, or Black or whatever group he panders to.
Blazing Saddles II.
Shame on Trump for endorsing McCarthy. Trump has endorsed and appointed many very bad people. Keep saying no to RINO traitor Kevin!
On the upside it got him nominated.
No comment. For once 😒
Is it me or he looks a little thinner?
McCarthy obviously had some work done on his face over the holidays.
Eyebrow hoist
That’s an endless road as seen on Nancy Pelosi.
Looks like eyes done and turkey neck tightened. Maybe full face lift.
Like Harry Reid?

Well then, why can’t Kari Lake get multiple rounds in AZ since the first one was botched?
This was fantastic.
Damn – – I just spilled my beer!
hangovers will be developed
They are already suffering from the lack of grift of taxpayer monies.
McCarthy looks a bit bloated and blotchy
Soon the FBI will leak to their buds at CNN that they have a dossier implicating Gaetz as a Russian agent. Mikey Morell will Face the Nation with his opinion that the dossier is authentic even though he’s never seen it. Not that he will be asked if he or anyone’s seen it.
“On the upside, for the past three days no taxpayer monies have been spent.”
Seriously, best observation in a very, very long time. 🙂
Keep it up for two years.
All IN!
Don’t forget, the House needs to investigate the Bidens and Fauci and they have a lot of other work to do. Also, Trump is running for President. Do you think a GOP House debacle will play well for Trump? I’m sure it won’t.
McCarthy needs to be defeated. NO DEALS.
I agree. But as Sundance has repeatedly taught us, there are trillions at stake.this fight has been going on since the tea party movement.
in the end, the American people will win, but that will take baby steps over years.
We are not losing. Don’t get discouraged. That emotion fuels our enemy.
Philosophically I can understand the venom directed at McCarthy; I just worry this is a dangerous game. Those currently being harassed or falsely accused by the corrupt DOJ certainly have more to lose than McCarthy if this GOP broken play results in a turnover and DEMs regain control of both houses.
How many of the current 200 McCarthy supporters will think turn about is fair play and block the next nominee should McCarthy drop out?
Stop thinking “GOP” and “DEMS”, and it becomes clearer. Abandon their media-encouraged fiction.
This is 20 brave Patriots against a Uniparty. A singular, establishment cabal controlled by the same elites. And Kevin McCarthy is no better, or materially different from Nancy Pelosi, in that calculus.
They are both emptying the Treasury, bankrupting our grandchildren, while flooding our Nation with foreign invaders, and doing the Deep State’s bidding in creating a police state of tyranny.
For the magnificent 20 accepting McCarthy’s printed paper defeats the purpose of the rebellion.
There are a few good people supporting McCarthy and a few corrupt scumbags opposing him. I’d encourage folks to stop thinking they know what’s really going on.
Thanks for clearing things up about you.
I wouldn’t worry about it, 99% of what you’re watching is a well scripted play.
I know too much to disagree. I was raised in an extremely politically active family in McCarthy’s District. I knew Kevin when we were young. I know A LOT about Bakersfield politics so I know I don’t know what’s really happening, unlike the oh so confident keyboard warriors.
Fine. If we can’t fix it, let’s blow it up as we can’t continue going along to get along and expecting things to get better.
It’s like paying a blackmailer and expecting them to go away.
Don’t worry too much about things you have no control over. Put your faith in God.
The RINO party is dying.
The Republic is dying.
What do they want, what do they want. That’s the media madness repeated over and over. You hear them crying. The got everything they wanted. No Rinos. They want him replaced. That’s what they want. And that’s what I want. Go home Kevo and have Luntz fix you a stiff drink.
I don’t understand the reference of that Old English cartoon …?
I believe that’s a reference to the famous Bayeux Tapestry which depicts William the Duke of Normandy defeating King Harold II of England….in the Battle of Hastings.

nobody has a f to give about Kevin except the 200
that votes for him !
200 = ZERO . . . if it’s not enough to get him elected.
The 200 non-MAGA Republicans?
With each passing vote, the desperation and depth of the swamp becomes more blatantly obvious. They HAVE to have their chosen one in place, and the entire gang of GOP swampers – including pundits – are all outing themselves. They have their backs against the wall and can’t figure a way out.
This entire debacle has been worth it already to expose who ALL the bought off Republicans and FOX personalities are.
Still puzzled over Trump backing this lizard – he is facing a TON of criticism over at patriots.win, his home turf. MTG is getting massacred on Gab and Twitter. Why are these people not listening to the ones who put them in their positions?
This week continues to be a giant black pill when it comes to ALL establishment office holders and supporters.
There is nothing desperate about 200 supporting KM. They’re just a committed to fight the magnificent 20 preserving their legislation awaiting signature.
I completely agree with your first part…please read down thread!
It’s not about Trump’s preference or endorsement now, it’s about leadership. He’s risking looking feckless in this.
Just watch Kev and the RINOS cave tomorrow to join the J6 Festivities and exeert pressure on the 20 holdouts to prove they’re not insurrectionists by voting for him.
McCarthy Must Go
“We’re not making a point. We’re making a change.”
Lauren Boebert on Twitter:
“When I said it couldn’t be business as usual in DC, I meant it. I didn’t win my election to fight for the swamp. I’m fighting for the good of the American people.”
Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy both tried to lose the House and the Senate. That’s just how sick their malignant system is. It is a delicious irony that McCarthy would have probably had enough votes if he hadn’t pulled this UNIPARTY betrayal on Republican voters.
Rest in the Vine: HELL NO.
I’m already as sick of Boebert as I am of DeSantis. She used Trump to win her election, now has shoved him aside to play Queen of the GOP. And she looooooves DeSantis, calls him “America’s governor” and says his policies are just like Trump’s.
Why the same people who aren’t letting DeSantis get away with being a turncoat are letting Boebert do it is interesting to me.
Excellent point. There is more than enough treachery to go around.
I have to admit SD, watching you operate on Twitter, and trolling those clowns is artistry.
If y’all think SD has some wit on this site, you should see him go on Twitter!
Great stuff SD.
I love the MTG is sleeping with McCarthy troll……Hahahahahaha! 😮
That not true? Husband is divorcing her.
It was a trolling of the clowns…
A few people had said this before SD chimed in.
They deserve that anyways…
I think MTG talks to Trump because his communication sound like her. I think he thought she was a true conservative. There is a story about her divorce which is already final. Very fast work.
https://www.businessinsider.com/republican-marjorie-taylor-greene-officially-divorces-husband-perry-2022-12?op=1
Wahmbulances are required for many poor souls on Sundance’s Twit.
Daily.
So true; best thing on twitter are Sundance’s replies. Loved the fainted puppy.
Oh, so now MTG is the enemy …. because MTG is siding with Trump? And Boebert has pushed Trump aside and is now the self-appointed leader of MAGA?
You all aren’t very loyal to Trump, are you.
Let’s say, if this drama continues into 2024 after 100000 rounds of votes and there’s still no Speaker of House, what would American votes vote for on November 5, 2024?
Only the true patriots, I daresay.
If the uni party finds the votes slipping away from McCarthy, say down to 190 votes for him, I expect the Democrats to then vote for him to prevent someone else get the speakership. Especially if DJT were to get 30 or 40 votes.
You will then see the entirety of the swamp be exposed in sludge…and daylight.
The Riddle.
It will be WILD tomorrow!!!
Even if this is just a head fake loyalty test. Yet, I saw Marjorie Taylor’s face as Matt Gaetz nominated President Trump, and she could barely contain her gleefulness. It seems George WAshington’s intelligence officer number, 7 11 comes to mind…is President Trump’s number 01 06?
If you are a Republican in the House and had your chance to vote for President Trump as Speaker, or vote for Frank Luntz’s roommate, what would be your last stand?
If you are Kevin MCCarthy, how do you vote? For the best fundraiser of all time…or yourself?
And how do you believe your political future would turn out, having to side with a voice vote and total annihilation if you take the blue pill?
PT’s nickname for you, ridicule, let alone no money and NO VOTES, NO BALLOTS, NO SUPPORTERS?!!!!
Asking for 330 M friends.
I think McCarthy’s best opportunity may be to hope a hand full of Democrats have to exit for the weekend and give him the majority because of Democrat non-votes. They can push him over the top without have to actually vote for him.
Not if a majority of Republicans vote for President Trump? Will be interesting! And a MAJOR revelation!
Tucker Carlson covered himself in shame tonight trying to claim that McCarthy, when he becomes Leader, will be a better Leader for what he learned going through this.
What McCarthy really learned was who he and his proxies will kneecap and who will be promoted.
Tucker was just following orders tonight. He never mentioned the nomination of President Trump on the floor tonight. Brett Baier announced it for one second on his show and then turned to something utterly ridiculous.
As SD is constantly training us, once you see the puppet strings…you never unsee them.
Tucker is a useful idiot who now lives in Maine. If anyone should push back it would be Tucker, he was chased out of his home and forced to relocate. I kinda get why Tucker is showcased on CTH, however, in my humble opinion, Tucker is not to be trusted, he can be used as your daily flow of data to be sorted and weighed. Tucker is no Rush Limbaugh.
Tucker may be an old friend of…Hunter Biden.
Take the report of what you will.

I’m pretty sure that Tucker lives in Florida. I think his parents have a cabin in Maine and he was staying there for a while after being chased out of Washington DC. Gasparilla island is what I heard.
And now you know why I and some others here have maintained Tucker is Controlled Opposition with a long leash.
And you’re right. McCarthy will unleash the hounds of Hell on all those who opposed him if he gets the seat.
All the more reason to pray for them to hold fast. That’s a message I sent to Rep Goode last night.
I thought those were good points.
It’s interesting, when listening to Glenn Greenwald yesterday he was extolling the virtue of these 20 or so Republicans playing hardball to get what they want before giving the presumed Speaker what he wants (their vote), comparing how this is actually good for the nation vs what happened when all those upstart Democrat’s the squad and their ilk who all originally campaigned saying they were going to hold Pelosi to their standards and each and every one of them fell in line like neutered sheep.
That too is a good point, it’s healthy, in the long run, having these debates, even if they do make me verynervous given the track record all Republicans have of snatching destruction out of the hands of victory.
I think of them as Patriots rather than insurrectionists.
Exactly! They are simply doing the job that their voters elected them to do.
Huzzah!
The Badlands Media coverage tonight reminded me of the only other time I heard of Byron Donalds.
He was the congressman who gave an amazing defiant speech about not being willing to be subjected to a mask mandate in the halls of Congress. Might have been late 2021? I don’t know if anyone has the clip, but it was fantastic. It was a little ray of light in the dark.
The guy knows how to put on the armor of God, for sure.
He is my rep and I will vote for him again and again it appears.
Tucker Carlson covered himself in shame tonight when he claimed that McCarthy will be a better Speaker from what he’s learned through all this.
What he has learned are the names of the Reps to target.
****Sorry for the double post, y’all. I thought I forgot to post it the first time. I’m old, what do you want? 🙂
What he has learned is that he does NOT have a house full of good little drones holding an R after their name that will automatically march in lock-step behind his every whim or command. What we have seen here is many shouting and chanting “burn it all down”. Where we go from here is yet to be seen, but what we have learned is that the torch has been lit.
It seems enough Patriots snuck by in the House to ban together and light the fuse.
McCarthy has already demonstrated he is a sh1ttie speaker. We need someone new.
Many of you here have completely forgotten Tucker refused to talk about anything electoral fraud related for very long time and looked the other way when we needed them to report the reality Nov/Dec 2020.
Genesis, exactly. Tucker knows who pays him the big bucks and he is not about to wander off the Faux plantation. He is controlled oppo at best. I quit watching Faux in 2007. Haven’t gone back.
It’s been three straight days without a Speaker. It’s also been three straight days since a tax increase. And it’s been three long days since the last millions and billions and trillions in “aid” has been sent to the Kleptomaniacs of Kiev. I wonder if they’re beginning to have withdrawal symptoms………nah….don’t give a rip if they do.
“The vote to elect a House speaker in the new Congress is heading into its fourth day — the first time that has happened since before the Civil War — as Republican leader Kevin McCarthy struggles to get a majority of votes to wield the gavel.
The House can conduct no other business until a speaker is chosen. But the current limbo is nowhere near the longest-ever speaker vote, which occurred in 1855 and 1856.

The record for most rounds of votes, according to the Office of the Historian of the House, is the 34th Congress, when Rep. Nathaniel Prentice Banks of Massachusetts was only elected speaker after 133 rounds and some two months of voting.
Because of conflict over slavery and immigration, according to the office, the political atmosphere was tense and more than 20 people tried to become speaker.
It took two months, starting in December 1855, until Banks, then a member of the American and Free Soil parties, was elected on Feb. 2, 1856. The New-York Tribune’s Feb. 4, 1856, issueproclaimed Banks’ victory the “END OF THE GREAT STRUGGLE; TRIUMPH OF THE REPUBLICANS.”

Banks, who was 40 years old when he was sworn in, served just one two-year term as speaker until the 35th Congress in 1857, when Democrats won both the House and Senate.
The House historian’s office noted that this instance of multiple rounds of speaker voting and most others “occurred before the Civil War, when party divisions were more nebulous” than the Democratic-Republican split today.”

Where’s Nancy?
Has Congress passed a single law in the past 20 years that actually benefits traditional American born taxpayers?
Depends on whether or not they were born into wealth.
No.
If kevin signs a binding contract with the holdouts, perhaps (and that is a big perhaps) there will be some movement in the right direction. But without that signed document it will be same old stuff. Even with the document, it will be a constant battle. Since mcconnell sucker punched the house repukes there is little that can be accomplished. People should not think the patriots are not powerful. There are more than 21. They are forcing concessions. The swamp is so mean. They will be coming after all those guys and gals. Even mtg. She really messed up. I think kevin will be speaker in the end. Speaker in a straight jacket. His personality will not let him withdraw. No one can get that 218 number. The fear of the 4th column keeps them in line. Pathetic. We are all like that though.
“If Kevin signs a binding contract…”
_________________
No such thing. Their signature, and their word, mean nothing.
Exactly! Not worth the paper it’s written on! It’s not legally binding, it’s just nothing more than the status quo! “The new boss same as the old boss!” Republicans will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory once again! Same old Uniparty/RINO Republicans! McCarthy becoming Speaker will just waste more valuable time and further the destruction of the country! More trillion dollar omnibus bills under Speaker McCarthy is my guess! So disappointing!
A signed contract with a liar means nothing. Contracts are only as good as the people signing them.
The only thing the Republican House can do is stop progress.
They are already stopping everything with this “Speaker nomination” maneuver.
I take this as a win. Today is glorious.
Abiding by an Agreement?
There is year 2006 signed legislation to build security at the southern border
It’s not been done….17 years…
Is the U.S. working on it?
You know the answer.
Imho
Speak for yourself ,my lady.
Here’s a thought experiment:
1) Imagine the vote for Speaker was secret ballot. My hunch is that 150+ Republicans would NOT vote for McCarthy, with no fear of retribution.
Let’s make it more fun:
2) Imagine the vote was done by paper/secret ballot…..and that amazingly 100 surplus ballots got into the jar, so that the total vote tally was 535 rather than the 435 it should have been. If vote fraud can occur in this small chamber, then of course it can happen (and does) on a much larger scale.
Fun stuff.
I just read a report that four republicans may be out tomorrow with medical and family issues.
All four were McCarthy voters.
Getting close to the dems being able to elect the speaker.
Ballot Fraud, unless a whole amount of other people vote for President Trump.
No. We are about three or four more no-shows and the dems have a majority.
“…just read a report…”
Midge, was that “report” from the New York Times citing unnamed sources?
And for WSB:
man that looks good!
Is that from high level anonymous sources within the close circle of McCarthy voters or just generic anonymous sources?
The voting makeup would be very complicated if the quorum changes. Both for The R wing and D wing of the abusive party. Covers would be blown.
I believe this is a ballet neither could afford to dance.
Only if the RHINOs vote for the democrat.
Post a link otherwise you’re a big fat liar.
And to think, the arrogant GOPe thought they had this “little problem” avoided when they sabotaged the 2022 Midterms.
WOLVERINES !
“…for the past three days no taxpayer monies have been spent.”
Sundance there is the point that the money for the coming 9 months has already been spent in the Omnibus bill.
Plus the fact that there’s a room full of people doing nothing, talking about nothing and all receiving a salary.
So it is costing the taxpayer money.
On the plus side nobody is talking about January 6th anymore, so there’s the upside 😀
There is no better outcome for working taxpayers than when these traitors produce nothing.
Exactly, they can’t pass laws to tax us more.
These corruptocrats can always spend more regardless of what was in the omnibus and they get their salary no matter what they do. Better that they’re not making horrible laws to take away our freedoms and instead voting over and over again for a loser.
Actually, FWIW, I heard someone on the news say that none of the congressmen get paid as long as this standoff is going on, since the House rules and stuff haven’t yet been established. My guess is that if it’s true, there will be some fast deals being made quickly!
Has anyone ever seen McCarthy and Paul Ryan in a room at the same time. Rumor is they are the same person.
Yes maybe this mostly illegitimate Congress can all just go home until a legitimate President and Congress can take over in 2025.
“No taxpayer monies spent?” Must be a modern record of sorts. I can assure you that if these government employees were not being paid until a resolution of the present stalemate was achieved, it would have been resolved after the first or possibly second vote.
I can only imagine the arm twisting, threats, promises, huge volumes of alcohol and, most prevalent, LIES deployed tonight by McCarthy and his minions to secure his seat of power and control.
The terrific twenty have been done interviews saying that their feedback runs strongly in support of their actions, 90/10 against wanting McCarthy as Speaker. If they turn around at this point and vote for McCarthy, under any promises or threats, all that talk about representing their districts is just piddle. About the good of America, making a positive change in Washington, that will all be moot.
It’s a sad state of affairs when there are only 21 congressmen in the entire House willing to stand against the corrupt Democrat/ RINO Crime Syndicate Kabuki theater extravaganza pushing this deceptive, backstabbing corruptopulous McCarthy as third in line to the WH. In an ideal world if Biden & Harris were to be legitimately & deservedly impeached, can you imagine him as POTUS? Besides 1A, what else would he strike from the Bill of Rights? He also is likely to be gunning for a nuclear war with Russia & bankrupting America. America pick your poison. That is always the strategy with these candidates who are trotted out by those who are really in charge for “Leadership” elections. “Would you like to go by arsenic or drowning, America? Our candidate will make it painless for you.” I’ll take neither, thank you. To Hell with both parties.
What a lot of jackals most of these people are. How do they look at themselves in the mirror? They may think they can get away with their collusion to destroy one of the greatest countries on Earth that has been a beacon of hope and freedom in the world, but one day they will have to face God’s Judgement. If there was ever a good case for the birth of a powerful third party to put these people in the rearview mirror, we are seeing this unfold before our eyes.
Hopefully two of the terms being negotiated and accepted are (1) absolutely no more omnibus spending bills and (2) no bill gets voted on until all members of the House must actually read the entire bill before voting on it.
Those two have been reported
