Day #4 of the House effort to elect a new speaker will continue today with no one asking why only 20 members want to change the rules. The rules are problematic for 20+ members who have refused to vote through eleven ballots for McCarthy, which begs the question. Why do 200 republicans accept giving McCarthy all the power to determine legislative business?
The House returns to session for what is expected to be McCarthy’s 12th attempt to win the gavel. According to Politico, “the GOP leader and his leadership team convened a conference call Friday morning to update members on the status of negotiations, hours after he appeared to gather some momentum late Thursday by hashing out specific concessions to hardline members of the GOP conference — offers that his allies were hopeful would move votes in his direction.
But enormous uncertainty lingered Friday morning, as members of the freedom Caucus had yet to commit their support to McCarthy and a handful of other holdouts continued to signal their opposition to him. Absences on the GOP side of the aisle could scramble things further, with McCarthy backer Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) predicting at least three during Friday’s likely balloting. WATCH:

Kevin is anything but selfless
Kevin McCartel (thanks Steph)
Kieven McCartel…even better!
There was talk of a negotiated “deal” between the “terrorists” and WEF acolyte place man McCarthy. Now this…

Indeed.
And 200 Republicans love him.
200 RINOS!
Barry Goldwater would not recognize them as “Republicans.”
“Republicowards” also works!
Well…
When the majority of Republicans are what we call RINO… it shows that we are not accepting what the Republican party really is.
Their die-hard support for McCarthy shows their true nature. A McCarthy Speakership will be a Pyrrhic victory. It’s amazing to watch this party destroy itself.
Another Treeper made the excellent observation of noting some supposedly “MAGA” House members supporting McCarthy, which means they are not really MAGA. The House Speaker position is very important, perhaps almost crucial that a MAGA gets it. I watched the Republican Revolution of 1994 get sabotaged by a CFR traitor House Speaker, I do not want another Hastert/Newt/Ryan saboteur traitor in that position.
They all need to be replaced.
No Wonder he has an “F”
I’ll sleep sound tonight if the 20 stay strong and further embarrass the other 200 GOP idiots.
The longer this goes on, the better they look.
79 million are on the backs of 20
330 million.
250 million just don’t know it.
Congress is learning what we all know , voting doesn’t work
If voting worked they wouldn’t let you do it!
These so called “Republicans” act like someone killed their dog and has the rest of their family tied up in the basement at gunpoint …….
I’m NOT kidding.
I see them sitting on piles of cash and prizes.
They will do anything for the $$$ and committee assignments
“hardline members of the GOP “
Sad days when this is what a person is called for being concerned with Constitution fidelity, America’s fiscal health, and our unsecured borders.
turn it around: “Left wing radical RINOs”
Our representatives are no longer hiding their allegiance any more. Their silence on voter fraud and J6 prisoners is really all we need to know.
Frankly, their allegiances have been plain for a very long time. Their allegiances are the foundations on which the destruction of the Republic stands.
Yes, it has been plain for a long time. It’s now become so blatant that no honest person can deny it.
Another day without funneling money to the Ukrainian Laundry.
Yep, 45 billion last month was enough, too much, unconscionable. At this point, an inactive Congress would be an asset to the Republic.
McCarthy should have been apoplectic with regards to Mc Connell and 17 Republicans approving that 1.7 trillion with only 10 days to a new congress.
But he’s not. McConnell cut the legs out from under the GOP House majority, and McCarthy is OK with that.
oh, that’s on autopilot
“Another day without funneling money to the Ukrainian Laundry.”
fka Serena, hardest hit.
LOL
I imagine there are many more soft McCarthy votes on his side than on the 20. If there was so much as a peep of getting enough dems to cross and vote, many would flee to the 20. Making it such that more and more “moderate” dems would have to vote for McCarthy as the vote went along.
And the 20/21 are very much in the, “we must all hang together or surely we will all hang separately” situation.
Much of the damage the rulers would like to impose on our former Republic cannot be implemented when the House is not functioning. Works for me..
These clowns almost convince themselves.
Why do 200 republicans accept giving McCarthy all the power to determine legislative business?
Why do 200 republicans simply forget they are to represent their constituents?
They haven’t been there to represent constituents for decades.
Like Biden said before stealing the 2020 Election – “I don’t need your votes. I need your help afterwards.”
Uniparty
Why do YOU think they do that?
I think they do it because:
They want to.
They can.
There are present and future benefits for them which they do not want to give up.
They are cowards
They are not accustomed to thinking in a Constitutional context.
They are not accustomed to being effectively opposed.
but mostly….THEY NEVER INTENDED TO REPRESENT THEIR CONSTITUENTS. There is NO reason to think they ever had that intention.
Ever.
“Why do 200 republicans simply forget they are to represent their constituents?”
Let’s not confuse them “forgetting” with them just not giving a sh*t.
They thought the 5 day work week ended when they got rid of Trump. Bless their hearts.
Kevie and Franky must be feeling a bit limp at home these days
Only one is. The other is happy.
200 people fought hard to represent 850,000 people in Congress, just to delegate all their power to someone else. Shameful.
Criminal.
Bait and Switch., Fraud, Theft, and Worse. Way worse.
McCarthy compromised ? Multiple girlfriends / mistresses , wife paid to say nothing ?

A past “RINO” Republican Speaker.
And there sits the Hastert doppelganger in the White House…
The Democrats have rolled out their big gun, Clyburn.
Maybe Stenny will be the one to nominate Hakeem next, then Nanzi.
It’s Friday.
Time to prepare the coordinated talking points for the Sunday News Show Circuit.
My comment belongs here as well.
Today is Epiphany. A good article to read for it is below.
If a sufficient number of those involved in the worldly fight for worldly power currently taking place in Congress could just pause, remember what day this is, then go the the House floor and proclaim their belief in Christ and the Resurrection – perhaps we might see something inspiring. At the very least it would flush out those whose identities are built on nonbelief and hate.

We gonna need more sand.
These 20 have nothing to lose at this point. They took a stand and now will be punished if they back down. “Their kind must not be allowed to rise again”, or something equivalent. Besides,CA doesn’t need more representation, fly over country does.
Gaetz would be scary in a courtroom.
“Why do 200 republicans accept giving McCarthy all the power to determine legislative business?”
That sounds like a leading ‘question’.
One could say because they are corrupt to the bone sellouts and beyond redemption.
However if that’s the case, then add the Democrats in and that’s 95% of the House which would mean the nation is lost.
I messaged my Congressman from VA, and made it very clear that either he vote “No” for McCarthy, or risk very serious opposition come next election cycle.
The problem is with the current atmosphere in DC is, I don’t think they even care about the next election. Politicians can be practically set for life with only 1 term of corruption anymore.
You are set for life after one term IF you are a member of the Communist Party USA.
Thanks for doing that!
Matt Rosendale was on Bannon’s War Room this morning and said things are going to get rough next week with the heavy pressure being brought to bear on the 20. As wll the gaslighting and msm propoganda will ratchet up even more. And because of this he said it will be important for them to hear that we are still standing with them.
So I’m looking for the list of the 20 and will call them regularly to express strong support and appreciation.
somebody put the list on the presidential thread.
I left a voice mail this morning thanking Congressman Rosendale.
Bless him.
Maybe somebody should send Chip Roy a link to CTH. I’m not from Texas so it probably wouldn’t get through to him if I sent it.
These 20 Patriots need to hold the line. The Gang of 200 must hear from their constituents as to their opinion of Kevin McCarthy. The longer these 20 hold out more house members will abandon McCarthy. The country is watching and judging these swampers. The pressure is on these 200 quislings, not on the brave 20 who are upholding their promise to their voters.
MTG chose poorly and will have a hard time regaining any credibility.
I have a very simple axiom I employ to keep me safe from deception.
It has never let me down.
Never ever let me down.
Quite simple but difficult to do.
Never ask someone a question when you know they are going t9 lie to you.
Once you ask the lier a question you need to accept his lie until proven otherwise.
Kevin is a stone cold lier, deception, WEF shill who will and has stuck shives in the back of patriotic heroes for a living.
He must go. No deal could be made with a snake like him or his ilk.
To the 20 hero’s.
The only way your gooses won’t be cooked is if he goes.
He threw the midterms to sellout the electorate . What do you think he is planning to do to you if he prevails.
What do you think he’s planning on doing to The Twenty once he achieves his “precious”?
Actually, I wonder how many democrats would love to join the 20/21 and are doing so in spirit. I bet many (and more than we know or suspect, and manh we would be very surprised at) secretly cheer them on. Not in a bad way, but in a good way.
If what you describe is actually the case, then those democrats are also bought-and-paid-for cowards….which is not actually news, of course.
Yes, they are cowed by their leadership into silence.
True, because the rules changes would benefit the Democrats who also do not have a voice in the debate to represent their constituents. But that is assuming they care about their constituents, but their willingness to continue to vote Jeffries tells you they don’t.
Let the democrats join the 20/21 in reality and publicly. Then I’ll be impressed.
Goodness, look at ’em flee the sunlight.
Not a good sign. Leaving during Gaetz nomination means they don’t plan to vote at all thereby reducing the requirement?

P.S. Major changes were made to Rumble this AM. Come check them out!
Donalds just voted for McCarthy
Im Disappointed
Anna Paulina flipped too
Now Norman and Perry too
Very disappointing .
Kevin McCarthy could not even get 69k votes in his own District in 2022.
On topic of why 200 republicans delegate responsibility into 1 person..
Delegating responsibility can be a good thing, it can relieve of unnecessary pressure and focus on important things.
It can be very convenient.
However, if we delegate responsibilities to parties that do not have the best intent for us
As humaninty we run the risk of conveniencing ourself into an early grave
It’s probably prudent to not hand over the key to the Castle unless they have shown a track record of good intent and good judgment. (That in itself precludes delegating all responsibility in any single long sitting politician)
Personally I’d rather opt for a less “safe” and less convenient life if that track record is not good.
It seems to me all the pressure is on the 20 “insurrectionists” to cut a deal any deal to make McCarthy Speaker. Any deal with McCarthy written or verbal pledge he makes will not hold it’s not his way of doing corruption in the House! Why is there no pressure on McCarthy to withdraw? Because the 200 supporting McCarthy are in the “Big Club” and we ain’t!!! He knows he’ll get the Speakership and has no intension of withdrawing!! Another weak gay Republican Speaker what could go wrong? Everything!!! Two more years wasted, more destruction of the country!! There will be no gridlock with the Senate if McCarthy is Speaker. And ChiCom Joe will basically get whatever he wants in the next two years! I hope a deal isn’t reached!! JMO
Kevin McCarthy’s record is 0 for 11. That makes him the biggest election denier in history according to John Fredericks on Bannon’s Warroom this AM.
The 200 would reject McCarthy, if they could vote by secret ballot.
McCarthy….like a boss. (Cartel boss)
Too many nominations and not enough votes peeling away from the swamp, this is showing who actually represents us and it’s not good. It’s broke beyond repair, when 200 are holding out for McCarthy.
Even trump can’t muster the balls to go for speaker he wants swamp.
Who has defected so far?
Oh Goody….fireworks. I love fireworks…
Precious time …
Lol.
If it explodes Uniparty/Communist skulls, good 😀
McCarthy is holding the House hostage to his personal ambitions.
Did Ken Buck’s doctor situation get more serious? I missed those details. Is he back in CO?
He is back in CO.
They are starting to flip!
I feel a disturbance in the Force. I have a gut feeling we’re going to be stabbed in the back.
It’s over.
I hope the good guys were able to box in McCarthy.
Still would not trust him.
Donald’s voted for McCarthy.
Donalds votes McCarthy. IDK, though, Vicky could end up a wild card at the end.
If Vicky votes, it will be for the candidate most likely to shovel more money into Ukraine and/or prosecute Russians.
A brief look at her congressional webpage shows that she is all about Ukraine.
Spartz appears to be a lobbyist for Ukraine sitting in the U.S. Congress.
This feels analogous to having Kelly Loeffler as a senator. Not America first.
Why hasn’t Chip Roy been nominated for Speaker? He seems to be a force to be reckoned with.
Bishop Brecheen Cloud and Clyde flipped
Damn them.
And I just called Clyde’s offices GA and DC thanking him.
Thanking him for holding firm, not for switching.
Donalds just caved for McCarthy
Seems like they’re lining up for RINO Kevin this am.
From the applause, sounds like 3 Republicans switched to McCarthy so far.
A claim of 5 now
Donalds now? Very disappointing.
Looks like the vote is cooked to me, now, with five votes to others.
Well, that was a surprise, wasn’t it?
Mr. 6’2″ 275 too!
Who’s next?
Same as it ever was.
