According to multiple DC media sources, a quiet effort is underway by members of the professionally republican mindset to kick Matt Gaetz out of the House Republican caucus. However, the advocates worry they will be primaried by voters in their district, as the population of Republican voters supports Gaetz. It is a duplicitous dynamic.
Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy has told his Republican conference that despite prior statements, he will not attempt to become the House Speaker again and will instead retire to his home district in California.
No one is quite sure what comes next; what is clear is that Gaetz has channeled the frustration of the Republican/MAGA base into an actionable result. This should not come as a surprise to the GOPe, although many of the cloistered clan continue pretending not to understand the dynamic at play.
Allow me to provide some simple clarity.
♦ In 2009 72% of the country, and an even larger percentage of the Republican voters, did not want Obamacare. The govt takeover of healthcare was along purely ideological grounds. For the 2010 midterm election, the professional Republican apparatus campaigned on this single issue – repeal Obamacare. The voters destroyed the Democrats and flipped 67 seats to Republican control. The professional Republicans wanted the House, frustrated American voters gave it to them.
The Republicans did nothing.
♦ In 2012, the professional Republicans campaigned on retaining the House and asked to begin a process of taking down the Democrat control of the Senate. Remember, it was a 60/40 Senate when the Obamacare boondoggle was begun. Keep the House, help us take Senate seats, and we will repeal Obamacare and balance the budget. That was the call of the 2012 professional Republicans. The voters delivered. The GOPe kept the house, took 6 seats in the Senate and introduced a wave of fresh Republican blood.
The Republicans did nothing.
♦ In the 2014 midterm election, the professional Republicans campaigned on retaining the House and now flipping the Senate with more GOP seats. Keep the House, give us the Senate majority, and we will repeal Obamacare and deliver a balanced budget. The voters again delivered. Beginning in January 2015, the Republicans controlled the House and the Senate majorities for Obama’s last two years.
The Republicans did nothing.
Worse still, even with professional Republican control of both chambers of congress, President Obama never had to use his veto pen.
♦ In the 2016 election, after the professional Republicans could no longer stop/block candidate Donald Trump, they said if we get the White House, retain the House and retain the Senate, we will repeal Obamacare, return to regular budgetary order, and balance the budget. Stunningly, against all the odds, the voters yet again delivered. President Trump won the election; Republicans now held the White House, the House and the Senate – as requested.
The Republicans did nothing.
Worse still, the professional Republicans acted as if they were the dog that just caught the car. Now they had no excuses, and as a result there was an exodus of retirements announced from the caucus of the professionally Republican to begin in 2018.
Simultaneously, the professional Republicans passively allowed the targeting of Donald Trump by a fully weaponized intelligence apparatus and justice system to commence. To say the professionally Republican were willfully blind would be polite and generously honest.
In the background the RNC did nothing. The California ballot harvesting operation of 2018 reflected a complete lack of action by the RNC or CA GOP. We all well remember how that operation expanded nationwide in 2020, again with the RNC doing nothing.
This is the reality of what took place between the elections of 2010 and 2020. Every ask of the professionally rRpublican apparatus was delivered by voters. Every ask of the voters in return was ignored. Effective January 2021, Obamacare still exists, no budget was ever produced, the borders were unsecured, the economy tanked due to Biden policy, energy and printing presses. Crises, along with insufferable government mandates, amplified and expanded from coast to coast.
The Green New Deal was passed by Republicans and Democrats, and the collapse of the economy came with it.
Clear enough?
Suddenly, as if there was no background of repeated broken promises and a complete failure to deliver on any key request, Kevin McCarthy and his legion of professionally Republican supporters pretend they cannot fathom why the base voters are more than happy to support Matt Gaetz.
WASHINGTON DC – Kevin McCarthy will not seek the speakership again, marking a devastating end to his time in GOP leadership.
The California Republican informed his members behind closed doors Tuesday night that he will forsake another attempt to win the top job after his ouster on Tuesday, according to seven people familiar with the remarks.
His announcement comes amid intense anger over his ouster by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and seven other GOP members, who voted with House Democrats to eject him earlier Tuesday. Most Republicans vocally opposed his eviction.
McCarthy told his conference that he would return to California to spend time with his family. In his stead, the House will be run by Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), his hand-picked choice as acting speaker. House Republicans have no plans to return to session until next week, scrapping their plans to try to pass party-line spending bills.
The vacancy atop the House is sure to set off a scramble among ambitious Republicans — one that’s likely to get dirty and dragged-out, particularly if McCarthy’s deputies try to ascend. The GOP agrees that the most obvious choices are Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), all of whom had publicly backed McCarthy until he bowed out.
“I might have been given a bad break, but I’m still the luckiest man alive,” McCarthy said, according to multiple people in the room when he revealed he would not, as he’d vowed, keep trying to stay speaker.
[…] Republicans are willing to admit one thing: No one knows what the coming days, or weeks, will bring. (read more)
Battered Conservative no more!
Let’s get President Trump in the House Speaker position now!
Amen, buddy!
I read somewhere, last night, that he was going to be nominated. He would likely decline if elected. But, it would give us a better idea of who needs to be primaried. They would have to go on record with a vote….
yes, however, they aren’t know nas decepticons for nothing
too many wolves in sheep’s clothing
If he has the receipts, it should not be a problem getting elected speaker.
STOP. That would end his campaign for President. He would NEVER, EVER be speaker.
You are so correct as usual.
Everything swamp is fraud. They have an agenda and this does not have anything to do with Americans or America and it’s been that way for at least 110+ years.
But post WWII with Operation Mockingbird we have been saturated even marinated with a constant bombardment of hooey that fulfills a grand scheme that has nothing to do with the USA. In fact everything that comes from these demons is to get us to hate the USA, prove me wrong.
We must face the fact that there is no Republican/Democrat party there are only uniparty swamp rats who are willing to kill off the USA for “30 pieces of silver” on the cheap.
Like Gingrich, Boehner, Cantor, Ryan, McCarthy, (you name the “retired” swamp rat) he will immerse himself in the swamp ooze cuddle up with Frank Luntz and all is well in the rats nest aka the swamp.
FYI: “To understand the duplicity, let’s get in our way back machine and instead of reading Tea Leaves look to the Tea Party for actual instructive comments from “our” team/uniparty: Trent Lott (R-Miss.) senate leader.
At his retirement he became a D.C. lobbyist with John Breaux D LA for Gas & Oil and was warning that a robust bloc of rabble-rousers spells further Senate dysfunction. The enemy MSM scrubbed or left out his actual quote but as I recall: “How are we going to get anything done with a bunch of Jim DeMint disciples running around here”.
The slightly different version: “We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples,” Lott said in an interview [with the Washington Post]. “As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them.” Hmmm…interesting turn of phrase huh, and what did he mean by co-opt?
But Lott followed and said he’s not expecting a tea-party sweep. “I still have faith in the visceral judgment of the American people,”
Remember Trent went around to all of the Sunday shows when he announced his retirement from the senate saying; “it’s time make some money”. Any questions folks? Uniparty!”
Kari Lake
How do we know she is fake? Genuine question.
Here’s the research of fishy lake: https://fbcoverup.com/docs/afi/2023-08-02-KARI-LAKE’S-NBC-HUSBAND-JEFFREY-ELLIOT-HALPERIN-FAILS-TO-DISCLOSE-HIS-FAMILY-Americans-for-Innovation-Aug-02-2023.pdf
Are you people SERIOUS with this sewage “information”? Yeah … your “research” revealed that Kari Lake’s husband is … 😮 … Jewish (BABYLONIAN RADHANITE PAGAN MERCHANT – BANKERS). I stopped reading after that trash …
Good grief. How the hell do you know that?

I’m not ready to write her off as a fraud just yet, but her decision to run for Senate while still litigating the 2022 gubernatorial election gives me pause.
Can you imagine! Love the thought of this.
FAKE MAGA commenter. FLYOVER name is suitable and your dead giveaway.
Libtards are so easy to spot. They stand out in a crown like a dead skunk.
Oh, yeah. All of us just shut up and keep taking the abuse and settle for being a Battered Conservative. Take it someplace else.
Everything FOX turns to shite.
More hair dye plx.
Everything’s fake. I am so tired of everything being fake, a lie, a distraction. I am so tired of the two-different-worlds system, of Panem vs the Districts. It’s soooo obvious. These powdered people have no idea how we live in the real world.
AGREED! If I’m fake or dishonest with myself, I’m only hurting myself. HOWEVER, if I’m fake and dishonest with other people, I’m now affecting their lives, their family and their lively hood. I absolutely have no right to do that and neither do these people!
You nailed it!
I haven’t watched her since PDJT had his very obvious re-election stolen. Screw FOX!
If she is at Fox News, she is answering to her globalist pay masters and spinning propaganda. Period.
I’m afraid the Judge has just lost quite a few supporters. Shows her true colours.
Gingrich, too.
Gingrich lost me a long time ago.
We do know good people in the public eye. They’re the ones forced to use pseudonyms and who get swatted, dragged outside before dawn in their nightclothes, and investigated for financial and other “crimes” – not to mention demonitized everywhere.
Decades in fact
Gingrich lost me during his 2012 presidential bid.
If she wants to stay employed at FOX this is the line she has to take. She’s made her choice. Yet another reason not to watch any of them on that network of phonies.
GTH
Pirro was produced before there were sell by dates
but not before the invention of the trowel
take a pill….we DON’T care.
By her own words, she’s past her expiration date.
ANYONE who backs McCarthy is off my list or if they are still needed in some MAGA capacity, they use and discard down the road. I don’t care who they are.
I swear everyone’s “list” here is getting shorter and shorter. Every day I read how commenters here are marking people off their list because of some perceived shortcoming. This is not healthy. Good, honest leaders can have different opinions from us without being evil or untrustworthy.
Yeah, Kari Lake has fought for MAGA more than almost anyone other than Trump. What other GOP politician has tried to fight election fraud like she has? And we’ve got some keyboard warrior calling her fake MAGA?
I do agree that there are some here who are too trigger-happy.
re-read…”or if they are still needed in some MAGA capacity, they use and discard down the road”…to be discarded when they are no longer useful to MAGA. In the meantime they are are my Bad List – ie not to be trusted as not fully MAGA. We cannot in the long run install half-arse-<AGA, a/k/a GOPe RINOs and think we are going to get a full MAGA American First agenda. That’s what we now have. How’s that working for yah?
Even if it’s Trump?
You fail to fully grasp his role:
DEALMAKER for full AMERICA FIRST agenda.
You unfortunately elected some losers that he has to now work with. You deal him a loser hand and then you have the gall to complain?
You need to take responsibility for the losing hand you dealt him.
He tries to make the best out of it without EVER compromising on AF policies. He’s a dealmaker. A fighter. A counterpuncher.
You’re an arrogant, highfalutin complainer who is not MAGA or if you and the others complainers are, you are weak-kneed at best who will vote for Jr I’m sure.
we MAGA voters don’t care how furious you are
you are a news entertainer like the rest of them
She has zero strategic thinking or understanding
Stop watching FOX! They are very good at deception! Pero, Levin, Hannity, Ingram and the rest of them!
Amen! I don’t believe a word from any of them. Maybe Pete Hegseth… so far I haven’t seen or read anything from him that I disagree with. Anyone know something I don’t know? I sincerely want to know if so.
Princeton. Not a disqualifier per se. Just a red flag.
Disingenuous comment from JGP. She thinks everyone is still sheeple on the Uniparty. They still use the diving D vs R. Game over talking heads
Where is this anger when the rinos side with dems to get their agenda passed instead of the American agenda?? Why complain that the repubs never stick together like the dems do now?? The repubs have never stuck together when it mattered to America, but you oust one dude, who will be replaced by someone just like him, or worse and they go ballistic! Where is their outrage when it matters???
They haven’t figured out yet that “winning” that advances the Democrats’ lunatic agenda is not “winning”.
When money becomes more important to a person that they stay with a station that has done them wrong, then want can you expect but for that person to adapt to the role. Judge Jeanine, after all, has had to face a foe and buckled to the pressure.
Thankfully, I’ve not seen nor heard her since I quit FOX … permanently … after they shitcanned Tucker
F the GOPe.
I will never knowingly vote for a Bushie again. As a Texan, no more Abbotts, Cornyns or Crenshaws.
I understand that the Democrat party is worse, but voting for politicians that willingly turn a blind eye (and quietly support) the Left’s destruction of this Country is doing us zero good.
Vote for politicians who speak out against this madness and have a track record of action. And if they turn out to be Trojan horse RINOs (e.g. Crenshaw), vote them out next opportunity. That’s my golden rule going forward.
What you say is true, but we may be close to running out of time to think we can sit back and and wait to vote people out.
All this may appear normal, but it is certainly not normal.
If the Uniparty in DC installs another Biden type in 2024, it is over unless people choose the last resort.
Last sentence, last resort. What will be, will be. It’s inevitable.
Crenshaw needs to suit up and go to pukebrain and show the footsoldiers what a badass he is.
He’s such a phony he makes me gag! Maybe next time he shows off in an ad, his chute fails to open.
And don’t forget to educate those around you who don’t see, or refuse to see the rino in front of them.
The Texas House speaker should be next.
Yes, yes, and YES!
I can’t even say the Democrats are worse anymore. I hate what they stand for but they run on their delusion and corruption. The GOPe pretends they are the good guys and vote the same as the Democrats. Lying is worse in my book. And for anyone who thinks Texas (or Texas politicians in DC and the statehouse ) is any different, we have our own GOPe swamp led by Abbott and Dade Phelan who play the same game and won’t even take a vote on conservative proposals. Done with the fraud
A very good post but, alas, is voting the answer? How many years have we tried to vote them in only to find ‘them’ turns out to be ‘they”’ in camouflage? Even the democrats pretend to be on our side until they get their foot in the door. Perhaps that is our weakness. Waiting to vote. So many people giving advice but no one is stepping forward. You want action? Get someone to act.
Is he bringing roomie Frank “that’s not a toupee, it’s a divit” Luntz with him back home?
He will be replacing his divot? And fixing his ball mark?
Nominate PT and force a floor vote (yes I know he can’t win) but it will expose every single RINO in the building so Americans can see once and for all who truly supports America First vs these RINO’s who support themselves, their pocket book and Ukraine’s border more than our own.
Expose them, then primary them and then vote them out of office.
Americans have had it with these fraudsters who pretend to support the people.
I think we are all ready their.
if anyone else would have talked about Kevin like Kevin talked about Kevin
one would call them smarmy
what a self serving coot
and Frank must be burning his merkin just about now
yes, it’s marvelous
Frank is happy they have more time now to spoon … or feltch
ewwww.. and double ewwww
I’m guessing Frank is the “bottom”
I’ve long since given up on trying to figure out who’s actually seeing the big picture, and who’s in a bubble seeing what they want to see. I can never be sure when I’m being limited by my own silo, and I try to keep that in mind.
This vote, though? Gaetz had only seven Republicans standing with him. The only reason he actually managed to oust McCarthy is because the Republican majority in the House was so thin–he had to depend almost entirely on Democrats, and that’s never a good look.
If he’s channeling the anger of the base on this, there should be over two hundred GOP incumbents getting primaried next year. I somehow doubt that’s going to happen.
If the corrupt GOPe can use the Communist Democrats against us, well, useful tools are useful to anyone……
You’d rather business as usual and the continued rape of America I guess then?
Turns out the rinos don’t like their own useful weapon, the democrats, used against them. Maybe they should learn something from this and actually try to do what they promise they will do and be the Republicans they claim to be when speaking to the American people.
Thank you for the clear-eyed take.
200 is a big number. I agree.
How about we set a goal for at least half of them?
“If he’s channeling the anger of the base on this, there should be over two hundred GOP incumbents getting primaried next year.”
Many of us want that to happen.
When one finally “gets the the joke” it becomes completely understandable.
How many times has Graham gotten on FoxNews vowing to investigate:
Sen. Dick Durbin: Does Sen. Lindsey Graham Really Want To Investigate?
NO !!!
Thanks Sundance. (sigh)

And even worse, (in my opinion), those professional Republicans who remained actively acted against president Trump and his agenda. Either publicly or covertly with Democrats and their allies.
The GOPe meeds to be routed and turned into a small minority faction, similar to the loons in the CBC.
The only reason McHenry ousted Pelosi from her office was in retaliation for her votes against McCarthy.
This corrupt GOPe will stand up for themselves, but they won’t stand up for us.
Why didn’t McCarthy get rid of her???
cuz she told Kevin she would back him up
and Kevin bought it
They (GOPe) can get ragingly mad over McCarthy but not anything of importance—like stolen elections, invasion at the border etc. A pox on all of them.
EXACTLY!!
Bingo
If McCarthy had done some
Of what he promised, like releasing the Jan 6 tapes and separate appropriation bills, he would not have been ousted. He did not follow his promises, and finally someone is facing consequences for lying.
Gaetz PROMISED he would file this motion, they ALL knew he had the votes, and now they whine about “chaos”. They think we’re stupid…and you know what, MANY of us are, and until our fellow citizens see what’s REALLY going on and wise up, we are lost.
Watching the destruction of our constitutional republic is like watching a demolition derby. Our car, the AM Rebel, sponsored by the founding fathers and further funded by the blood and lives of generations is being bashed from the front by the Dems Humvee, the middle by the CNN Lada sedan, and the back by the GOP’s Edsel. Our hood has flown up, the engine is groaning, the trunk is crunched to the back seat, and the steering is almost gone as we spin in place. To our left we see potential the final blow barreling down on the driver’s side, it’s the car sponsored by Biden/Hunter, funded by the Dems, and held together by mechanics from the DOJ, FBI. The color commentary from the booth just above is provided by the MSM. Commentators Psaki and Acosta have already written the headline for tomorrow, AM Rebel Destroyed. Still, just a little more traction and our Rebel can shoot forward to leave the Dems car crashing into the wall, however the Rebel GOP mechanics used foreign parts. Stay tuned.
I love the analogy.
Got some typos in here, but very well said; and this is a great time line of Republican voter deliveries and Professional Republicans doing nothing.
But so far all We have are Professional Republicans because Democrats are destroying what’s left of our families and our culture and our country.
That is why I call them “Republican’ts”.. I can’t listen to them “pretending not to know” what time it is, anymore. Our Country is like a multiple gunshot victim lying on a gurney in Triage.
Instead of stopping the bleeding and trying to stabilize the patient, “Dr.” McSmarmy took stock of the situation and decided to take an ice pick and add a few more holes to the already perforated body of our once great Nation.
Watching my allotted 10 minutes of Morning Joe (I watch a little bit of it everyday to test my own sanity) the cast almost sound upset Kev-dawgg is gone, which is further reassurance Rep. Gaetz did the right thing. Anything that upsets Demonscats and Republican’ts simultaneously, can’t be all bad.
Funny you mentioned that in your last paragraph. I said to my wife while we were watching the press “interrogate” Matt Gaetz, and I say interrogate cause they all seemed so upset in their questions to him, and let me say bit wasn’t just the questions, but the tone in their voices while asking. Like little children having something secret taken from them!
100%
Newt, Fox, Breitbart…ALL in chaos over Matt ‘DARING’ to remove McCarthy, a rat in the highest sense. Oh the outrage that ALL have…
Not even listenable at this point to any of the pundits, networks.
McCarthy shouldn’t have taken the role KNOWING he was a RINO and would NOT be conservative. HE KNEW he would carry the water of the Establishment, RINO’s, the mod/lib R’s, the Newt’s , Karl Rove’s, Romney’s, etc.
And NOW, take a wk OFF..after just having 4 wks OFF rather than hammering out a buget; thus we get a 45-day CR….
R’s HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO LEAD…NONE!
BURN IT ALL DOWN!
Amazing isn’t it? They really think we’re that stupid and not notice what they do! FN A holes!
Well said Sundance.
Background History: Between fiscal yrs 1977 – 2012, Congress passed all 12 appropriations bills on time in four of those fiscal years, 1977, 89, 95, & 97. Every other fiscal yr since then has required continuing resolutions. There are three types of appropriation bills: regular, supplemental, and continuing…supplemental enacted when needed. Regular appropriation should be enacted each fiscal year…
https://www.house.gov/the-house-explained/open-government/statement-of-disbursements/glossary-of-terms
Omnibus spending bill: a type of bill in the U.S. Congress that packages many of the smaller ordinary appropriations bills into one larger single bill that can be passed with only one vote in each house… mostly lobbyist’s put these together. Hardly anyone knows what they put in these packages…they are suppose to contain all 12 annual appropriations bills.
The above info/background is from some quick googling from the internet and passes a quick test of reasonableness.
Seems to me that the majority of our House members have taken the easy way out over the last few years and passed the “hodgepodge” Omnibus appropriations with who knows what is in them, as they are submitted at the last minute with so many pages in them that it is impossible to know what they contain… that is done by design.
As Pelosi so famously once said (in effect), “We have to pass it, so we know what is in it…”
I think these eight Republicans’ in facilitating the firing of Speaker McCarthy have done a first step in taking back the appropriations process that they are supposed to be doing each year… passing the 12 Appropriations bills.. and done separately. This requires they start the process early on starting in the spring… not waiting until the last minute. McCarthy didn’t do that… he waited until the end of the fiscal year. I think I remember something like, he made a deal with the others back in January that he would take up the 12 appropriations this year…
We are in a revolution whether you want to admit it or not…See Tucker’s recent interview with Victor Davis Hanson…
It’s time to start holding your Rep’s and Senator’s feet to the fire…
Excellent observation! This is done on purpose. It lets them pilfer more taxpayer money into all of their pet projects. From both sides of the isle. And only God knows how much money goes into their pockets in the process.
I just love Mickey in that pose!
it is time for Gaetz and his crew to take the big ugly stick and start using it.
Who ignores……….
10 million illegals and our own border security
oil & gas energy policy that is the fabric of our economy and strength
the trafficking of children and all the illegal drugs coming across the border
parents right to decide what is taught to their children and who is ultimately responsible for them until 18
the rule of law that is rampant across the country
the complete weaponization of so many agencies against American conservatives and Christians
the depletion of our military defense and fighting capability by sending much of our weapons to others
the massive excess spending that is devaluing our dollar and driving inflation upon its citizens
putting Americans first and truly serving them first and foremost
The answer is 95% of the Republicans in Congress that’s who. Sundance is right, the Republican Party has become the party of DO NOTHING other than war.
No one IMHO does all of this ignoring if they are not compromised, on the take, being blackmailed or flat out hates America.
Only Trump truly fights for the typical American every day. Every policy he drives forward stems from the simple premise, does this policy help the average American?
The Republican Party has been taken over by the left and is just painted a different color for hiding purposes but make no mistake, 95% of these folks IMO need to be voted out of DC.
More and more Americans are seeing who these people truly are and we have had it.
I am with you… more of us are waking up. I hope it is not too late!
The “R” party has been infiltrated by democrats running as conservative republicans. It doesn’t get more swampy than that!
That is exactly why all of the items you listed don’t get addressed. Because the fake republicans are not actual republicans with the country first agenda. And that is the reason why they don’t get behind President Trump. They are hanging him out to dry. I pray Trump wins and takes these people out! If Trump wins it will be a miracle from God. We keep hoping that God intervenes, hopefully this is how!

NO MERCY for RINO backstabbers!
GOPe…YOU ARE DONE!
in a nutshell. Thank you
And so say all of us!!! 👍🏻
Boom!
There is no GOP. There is a UniParty. All promises during campaigns-then nothing.
Congress is a ship of fools. I chuckled when the article said that it might get dirty and dragged out. Inner fighting seems to be the only way the republican will get dirty. They sure keep their hits clean when it comes to democrats and their many helpers. Let them stay in their ship while traveling down the river of life eating and drinking from their various pay lords as the people on the banks cries for help. A waterfall is ahead then we’ll see who survives.
For anyone who thinks this was just a Dem show, think again.
This was the full-throated power of MAGA power who pulled off kicking Kev to the curb. Never would this have happened without Gaetz et al. No way Ds could have pulled this off, but they know an opportunity when they see one.
I’m not sure anyone thought this was going to happen, but it did. Schumer and absentee-Piglosi whipped up a plan and hopped on board. Good. Precedent set.
Many of you don’t have a clue what a victory this is, including all the DC GOPe arses who are squirming, Newt et al.
They are only MAGA when it suits them.
Dr Steve Turley gets it. He has for a long time. Anyone bold enough to get a clue as to why this is such a victory, watch this video.
Many here can’t (won’t) see the victory. You’re about to be left at the station. It boils down to all words, but cower when action is taken. Living in fear because you don’t know what it means, what’s coming.
We MAGA people don’t know what’s coming any day of the week. Will FBI be knocking on your door? Will President Trump go to jail?
And many commenters are cowering because MAGA pulled the rug out from under these slave masters who hold us in bondage?
May the chaos continue for them like the chaos they have thrown our lives in continues for us.

Great observation.
Thanks BK. We aren’t promised tomorrow. Basically, all our personal futures are unknown and bring fear. I don’t know how anyone makes it without faith. Even then we struggle sometimes.
“We MAGA people don’t know what’s coming any day of the week. Will FBI be knocking on your door? Will President Trump go to jail?”
‘Right on right on right on’ Sir Maine! That^^ has made me stronger!
Your whole comment👍🏼.
Watch the video. Dr Steve wonderfully discusses the victory. He has been detailing our victories (no matter how small they seem) for a long time. Madame Maine.
I watched it! YES!!!!!! Been telling my wife Trump for speaker for quite some time now, never expecting this happening to Luntz boyfriend. Thanks to Congressman Gaetz a true patriot. Dr. Steve is absolutely correct. A final flush to the fake republicans who could NEVER get re elected going public with a no support for Trump as speaker. A Hugh flush of the crappy swamp down the drain! All will be exposed. Even if POTUS Trump doesn’t get the votes ? It’s a win win for MAGA.
Great post MC. God bless.
God bless you too, phillie.
Wow great comment MC!!!! Nail on Head!!!
What a great post Sundance. Sometime, if you’re up to it…..add in all the leverage points that have been pissed away for absolutely nothing. Those are infuriating.
Great work
What I find interesting is that Gaetz sided with democrats to oust Mccarthy. Which is how the GOPe get their way and pass all of those crappy bills that screw us over. Suddenly it’s a bad thing. Gaetz used their own betrayal tactic against them and they don’t like it!
“It would be nice if Republicans would stick together like the democrats do!” they all wail! As if that ever matters to them. These people sell us out every dang day and side with democrats like gaetz did. But Mccarthy knew removal was on the table from day one. He barely made it in to begin with. He probabaly thought that as long as he was good to the democrats that they would never betray him because, after all he was mostly on their side.
Actually what Gaetz did was a brilliant tactic! He knew the democrats would vote against McCarthy, he knew he only needed a few votes from the right. So working with the stupid democrats sometimes works in your favor. You just have to be smart to know which battles to fight.
McCarthy was a big part of the swamp uniparty. The dems are too stupid to think ahead on this matter. They only know how to plot and lie and steal to retain power. So congrats to Congressman Gaetz for standing up for MAGA!
Burn it all down. Become ungovernable. If Matt Gaetz gets kicked out, WE WILL remember the names and primary ALL. We’re done playing their games. Now the new game is either you do what we send you to DC to do or gtfo! NEXT!!!!
This article should be made into a pamphlet and air dropped over all of DC and direct mailed to all republican politicians! I feel like yelling out the window we aren’t going to take it anymore!
Light bulb moment for me: The lords of our government consider the District of Columbia to be their sovereign nation – separate from, and in contempt of, the citizens of the United States of America. I pray for a Jericho solution; but would settle for a Concorde Bridge event.
As with Mitt Romney, no Republican can be continually elected in Massachusetts without being a complete RINO. A Republican in Kalifornia cannot be continually elected without being a complete RINO, as we have seen with McCarthy. I am tired of Kalifornians ruining this country with their progressiveness. It is my hope that the next Speaker will be someone from fly over country and not from either coast.
If they didn’t vote to get rid of McCarthy then they should not be considered for his replacement. As Jesus said in a manner of words ‘don’t replace the old with old but replace with new’.
The elected Republicans do nothing AND the RNC (Ronna McDaniel) Republicans do nothing.
Had 30Y of DO NOTHING republicans.
They have used Fox for yrs and yrs to run interference. Then Boehner, Ryan, McConnell and McCarthy got exposed (along w/ numbers of republicans) for ‘acting’ as if they were conservative but being full-fledged members of the UniParty.
Same for McCarthy; he’s a UniParty RAT.
Fox, Hannity, Laura, Levin all gave Lindsay, Mitch, Jim Jordan, Boebert, MTG, Cruz, et als a voice and a platform.
It became very apparent when Gowdy was oh so tough on Benghazi and then let HRC walk after all the blustering, tough talk, bulldog tactics turned into nothing.
And we’ve seen the UniParty, with many, many R’s members OPEN the border, allow FBI to target, arrest and convict our fellow citizens for acts; yet their buddies have committed fraud, deceit, treason and we turn the eye; the DOJ is targeting our fellow citizens; yet we turn an eye, IRS targets conservative fellow citizens and yet again, we turn an eye….
We, mid-working class American, tax payer citizens are DISGUSTED with OUR tax $$$ supporting a crooked, criminal Ukraine and Zelinsky.
We, mid-working class are being DESTROYED by inflation, high util costs, high fuel/gas prices YET our ‘so-called’ ‘leaders turn an eye and care less; and they should, k street, lobbyists, donor class have heaped $millions in their personal coffers and they have no impact from inflation, costs, living….
BURN IT DOWN
I truly believe this is the closest we’ve EVER been to seeing the actual Big Ugly
Should we see a Speaker Trump, that would indicate to me he would FINALLY have some support in Washington
Thank goodness for Matt Gaetz pulling the plug here. Now let’s get a real leader like Jim Jordan in as house speaker.
I think Jim Jordan is a good leader.
I also think he is going in the wrong direction.
Bring Devin Nunes back
Mr52 that is a great pick! Nunes knows the score and he would take prisoners also! Nobody stepped up for while they tried to take him out. It’s getting awfully close to PAYBACK time. Now how sweet will that be? Imagine Nunes as speaker and Trump back in the Whitehouse?
Jordan was in CYA mode last night, like the rest of the RINOs
Jim Jordan was opposed to the removal of Kevin McCarthy. Jim Jordan is business as usual….chairman of the weaponization committee and has issued no subpoenas, done absolutely nothing about the J6 tapes or defendants, and is simply a placeholder for the professional Republicans. Lot of noise, no action.
A real speaker? Jordan???
I dont understand this statement.
He is Uni-Party, Do-Nothing Swamp, to the hilt!
He is another McCarthy, with a wider smile, and nothing more…….He talks, and talks, and talks, and then does zilch. This is exactly why we are where we are! People believing BS like he spews.
Re-read the article, then comment again, maybe?
The Repubs do nothing! And Jordan has been on the do nothing team for many, many years. You cannot pretend, not to know this…..
Jordan has sold out big time ever since McCarthy first became Speaker. He deserves to be primaried, not made Speaker.
Maybe now some in the Washington bubble might wake up to the fact that ‘We, The People’ and the good old USA are not and have not been treated very well. Maybe a turning point. Maybe a marker that they must to pay more attention to us and less to themselves. They are so rooted to their own myopic world that they’ve never even considered that a great and thriving populous would be great for the USA and in the process make them rockstars.
Excellent timeline…short and to the point.
This needs to be sent to all our creatures in congress; not for their knowledge to be increased, but to let them know WE KNOW.
And they KNOW we know.
See little sissy pants McHenry from NC slam down that gavel yesterday when his dear friend was ousted….sure he probably caused a big bruise on those delicate little hands of his…..
I found it a very significant comment by multiple Repubs when justifying McCarthy’s leadership that he was a very good “fund raiser”. This common feeling among Repubs shows the focus and importance of money to them all.
One of the 8 who agreed McCarthy has done nothing, or a complete outsider, should be elected Speaker. Selecting someone who believed in McCarthy will only prolong the ‘sit back and do nothing’ situation McCarthy promoted for years.
The scam is a little hard to deny when you lay it out so clearly. But, acknowledging it also means coming to terms with how hard the cure is going to be.
Why do I support Matt Geatz.
The professional Republican class also known as RINOS or the uniParty that got us where we are today, WILL NOT SAVE US!!!
We must save ourselves and a big step forward to our salvation is to stop pretending that the current majority of the Republican party is on our side because they are not!!
Read the attached article so it is clear in one mind that every time the Republican get into power they do nothing to stop the Democrats. NOTHING!!!!
“Suddenly, as if there was no background of repeated broken promises and a complete failure to deliver on any key request, Kevin McCarthy and his legion of professionally Republican supporters pretend they cannot fathom why the base voters are more than happy to support Matt Gaetz.”
Let’s see what happens next.
100%
It was sometime after the House flipped in 2010 that I truly grasped the scam that the GOPe were playing on their voters. “Donate to us! Vote for us! Then we’ll give you what you want! (snicker)” Lucy with the football. The House has truly significant constitutional power in that it has absolute control over the purse strings. All spending bills must originate in the House, by constitution. If the House says, to any other branch of government, “No money until XYZ!” that’s simply it. No other branch of government can get around that. The power is there, and the GOPe absolutely refused to use it.
With so-called allies like that, who needs enemies?
Demonrats will take back the house in 24.
Excellent, Sundance, thank you for that!
Please add to your chronology:
2020: Presendential Election irregularities and evidence of outright fraud.
The Professional Republicans shouted down the voters, helped Nancy Pelosi to create the J6 Fedsurrection and expected the people to just “take it”. They installed a fraud, created a mass information coverup, violated our Constitutional rights, illegally detained and jailed innocent people, and refused to allow us due process for investigating crimes.
We will not be thwarted again. We have “played nice” and by the rules as they expected us to do, while they took our money and ran us out of patience with their lies and cheating.
No More.
Cogent post to be sure but ONE thing in my estimation is missing.
The ENTIRE Congress, Senate and every politician in Washington DC, knew “Russian Collusion” was BS and used it to facilitate a soft coupe of President Trump. They “did nothing” because it served their Global Elitist money and power grab objectives.They knew the FISA court had been used to trample lawful US citizen’s constitutional right and ruin lives and “did nothing“!
I wouldn’t be surprised if our abusers continue to abuse us. It’s entirely possible we will end up with a democrat speaker and the republicans will blame us. “See that’s what happens when you get disgruntled and oust a RINO. It’s all your fault. Maybe you’ll learn your lesson and be satisfied with a RINO.” They will blame Matt Gaetz and MAGA. This lesson will be just in time for the election and we will be reminded that we need to vote for the RINOs on the ticket. They will take no responsibility for their actions—the lack of keeping their promises, the lack of sticking together to elect a R leader, the lack of being a servant of the people..
Don’t forget – the last straw was the new continuing resolution. The 2024 budget is the first opportunity of the new House to return to regular order and pass a proper budget, something that hasn’t happened since 2008. McCarthy failed to deliver – yet again. Another betrayal added to the long, long list of betrayals.
Enough is enough.
