The House of Representatives is currently debating the removal of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Earlier today, Democrats unanimously joined with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and 11 conservatives to support advancing the speaker’s removal. Now Matt Gaetz is defending himself.
(Via Politico) – The Republicans who voted to proceed to a final vote on evicting McCarthy were Reps. Warren Davidson (Ohio), Eli Crane (Ariz.), Ken Buck (Colo.), Victoria Spartz (Ind.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Matt Rosendale (Mont.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Bob Good (Va.), Nancy Mace (S.C.), Tim Burchett (Tenn.) and Cory Mills (Fla.). Spartz has already said she plans to flip her stance and ultimately support keeping McCarthy on.
The House is expected to take a final vote on McCarthy’s leadership Tuesday afternoon. Livestream Link:

Scripted theatre…
Once upon a time in Western Civilization, scripted theatre was a holy ritual, attended by time-tested priests and observed by devout theatre-goers.
Be careful how you run down the ur-ritual of the West, guest.
Thanks for your opinion GOPer
Matt is kicking fanny
“Don’t be getting cocky, kid.”
-Han Solo
I am SSSOOOO Happy.
McCarthy, the swamp creature, the liar, and traitor to America, was just “impeached” for all intents and purposes, and was STRIPPED OF THE SPEAKERS GAVEL.
This is a MAJOR DEFEAT FOR THE SWAMP.
Congratulations to Matt, and the other 7 REAL REPUBLICANS.
Isn’t it SAD that out of the 222 “SUPPOSED” REPUBLICANS in the US House of Representatives, ONLY 7 ARE “REAL” REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVES.
The other 215 are RINO. Republican In Name Only.
Along with Gaetz, seven Republican members voted to oust McCarthy —Reps. Andy Biggs, Ken Buck, Tim Burchett, Eli Crane, Bob Good, Nancy Mace and Matt Rosendale.
That’s so humiliating and embarrassing … that he’s gonna need a hummer from his boyfriend … to feel more manly
God Bless Matt Gaetz
Jordan just got exposed.
About time.
Yeah … he’s become a real D-bag
His true colors came out.
Too bad – I thought he was going to be on “our” side.
Get rid of him………………
Let’s see…
(flipping through about 6 pages of names of so called “conservatives” with lines drawn through their names as they have exposed themselves as liars and corrupt grifters even as they swore otherwise…page 1, page 2, page 3, 4, 5….ahhhhhhh!!)
There’s Jim Jordan’s name!!
(grabbing a black Sharpie….)
Done!!!
You mean Jordan just confirmed Sundance’s expose? Right?
So did Steve Scalise, MTG, Byron Donalds and Boebert!!! All RINOS that need to go.
Exactly.
We ALL now know everything we need to know about Jordan.
A BIG disappointment.
When it came right down to it, Jordan aligned himself with the SWAMP.
Jordan is a swamp creature.
On Twitter the DeSimp’s are 100% on Kevin’s side. Weird!
Simps says enough.
Huh?
Well, you pick your definition but I’m old school and define simp as a simpleton.
I just call them that because it’s easier to type than “Ron’s army of paid supporters”.
Loyalties out for all to see…….
They think we don’t already know.
They = congress member backstabbers.
WOW!! Nice!!
Liars, cheats and theives
totally self-exposed.
When you detect you may not win because it’s rigged, you just have to set them up so that people will see them for who and what they really are. Seems like something Trump would do.
The Uniparty…inflicting misery, despair and death here and across the world.
A treacherous cabal whose oaths on the Bible meant nothing as they prove every day.
A debauched, corrupt entity who view us as annoyances
to be swatted away or ignored.
Their hatred of President Trump has caused them to come out of their dark corners where vermin live.
Would we know who these excrescences were and what they have been doing for a long time had President Trump not been elected?
I think not.
And yes, we are all suffering because these DC traitors and lovers of self are the filthy whores of self enrichment and power.
But I think a Higher Power is moving now. We see them all and know them in the glare of blinding sunlight by the hand of that Power. This I truly believe.
“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts to us in our pains. It is His megaphone to a deaf world.”
~CS Lewis
To quote someone whose name escapes me but whom I thank the following:
“Stand fast and behold the mighty power of God sweeping over the world!”
Amen.
What rabbit will McCarthy pull out of his shorts to stave off removal? I wonder!
<What rabbit will McCarthy pull out of his shorts…>
Peter Rabbit 🙂
Oh man! You’re on your game as usual, WM.
McCarthy’s Peter Rabbit and Kevin Luntz are close, intimate friends…
Sure hope snippets of these R cowards gets airtime. Never heard so much sucking up of Keven McCarthy.
Out of touch, just about all of em. I’m sick.
This is just awesome. Gaetz is exposing all of the Rinos today. I knew all along that Jordan was and is a FRAUD. His bread is buttered by BIG TECH money.
They are not out of touch. They know exactly what they are doing to us.
Get rid of her too.
And to think … I used to like her … NO MORE
Roll call!
I’m listening to the so called debate and a level of pretending that takes the breath away. There have been some absolute whoppers rolled out. I hope this performance is replayed on an endless loop come election time.
What a disgrace. The repukes simply do not want to return to the provisions as outlined in the Constitution. I am weary.
Not only the provisions outlined in the Constitution, but the agreement that McCarthy made with his fellow Republicans when he was finally elected Speaker. Going out and making backroom deals with Democrats was not what we were looking for.
Interestingly, the name of the temporary speaker is a secret. The name is on some list for continuity of government that McCarthy created.
Ohoh! It could be Pelosi! After this vote the Republicans have to stick together to avoid a dem take over. Who would McCarthy pick to replace him? MTG?
Didn’t Gaetz mention that it was Scalise?
So he goes, then what???
The next one may just throw a bone with a little meat on it in our direction every now and then.
They have to elect a new speaker, but he might just run again.
If you want to see why the fake “Republicans” are going to lose the House just listen to those assholes commending themselves and McCarthy on the wonderful successes they have brought the Republic these last nine months. The audacity of them to lie right in your face! F’n losers man.
YES!!!!
It’s already written the House will go to democrats! Republicans need to start focusing on helping Trump! Where are all the bills and procedures to help himout! Or is this a delay tactic?
What happened to the Republicans saying they were going to expunche Trumps 2 impeachments!
Starting to retch involuntarily just at the thought.
Even scarier is that they might actually believe it.
Success for them is maintaining the status quo.
Bobert…..NO.
She was “exposed” a couple weeks ago. Guess the rumors of her sorted past are legit.
I wouldn’t care if she was a former prostitute as long as her politics are Constitutional. I don’t get her NO vote in this case unless she sees something suspicious in the Dimocrat leadership going along with this.
Sordid in case that was a typo…
Yep, Boebert was a firecracker when she came in, just like MTG… but they both got caught doing dirty and now they have fizzled out and are playing for the unit party team! Disappointing but not surprising!
Why don’t they just admit to whatever “shameful” revelations the blackmailers are holding over them, and brazen it out like the Democrats do? It would be more honorable than capitulating to the other side and working against the people who elected them. If the dirty Dems had no “evidence” against them, they would just make up stuff and smear them with lies anyway. That’s what the evil ones do to Trump or anyone else who is “over the target.”
On the other hand, it could be more lucrative to go over to the other side. At this point, the political games are so bizarre that everything is in play, and there are infinite possibilities.
Live in her district and voted for her. Stopped sending her any money long ago despite daily emails pleading for it.
We moved away from Colorado twelve years ago. I often wonder who I voted for there, in every election since we left.
Lol
Same Same !
She said, “No. For now.” What a loser.
I think that is the only way they allow you to run. Dirty.
That’s what happens when you caught getting touchy/feely in a theater.
I still believe she was set up by the Aspen bar owner given the way the camera just happened to catch him grabbing her breasts as if the world was ending. The Democrat running against her was on the city council in Aspen and likely knows this bar owner well. On the other hand Adam Frisch got caught having an adultrous affair in a local storage facility.
Boebert is really showing us who she is since the theater episode.
Let’s face it: Satan rules Washington DC. Anyone who is without sin is well advised to avoid the place, because as Christ knows we are all sinners. And Satan is all about exploiting and capitalize on that. Think of lobbyists and ‘influencers’ as Satan’s agents working to achieve ends that are almost certainly to the detriment of the republic. Working in Washington DC — the epicenter of corruption — will test the moral mettle of anyone.
Watching Matt Gaetz is like watching St. George contend not with one dragon but with innumerable dragons.
Boobert.
He is speaking truth and what We The People have been shouting for years! He is also pointing out the lies and hypocrisy one by one.
Gaetz closer

Boebert-Nay.
This is to Table. Not Remove.
She also voted nay to remove.
RINO list for the record
Well it’s so nice to know according to Elise Stafanic that speaker McCarthy visits her district along with making toasts to the newborn children. What he doesn’t do is obvious. It’s not a bubble but rather a fantasy they have created. Actually believe that the energy bill and defending our boarders have been protected by the clown government and ridicules Rino party. Whatever you think of Matg Gaetz he’s speaking truth to power.
She is getting roasted on Telegram.
Last I checked Stefanik votes with the Dems about 48% of the time. She’s a rat.
Where she’s from, gotta be.
I stand with Matt. The idea that we’re gonna go through this budget crap every year is just ridiculous. A serious question. how much worse would a Democrat speaker be?
Pelosi ring a bell?
Somebody on here was supporting Spartz yesterday. Didn’t take long for Spartz to pull her own pants down. I guess as long as McCarthy keeps sending Ukraine money, she’ll stick with him. Welcome to the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.
Not trying to rub their face in it. Just pointing out that you can’t put your faith in any of these DC critters.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am disgusted with the supposed “conservatives” supporting McCarthy. Through his actions McCarthy has shown himself to be a duplicitous and deceitful Uniparty stooge. Their votes FOR him show their true side. Primary them all.
Matt Gaetz took the fight to the beast. Unfortunately Democrats are siding with him which is ruining the optics of the effort.
This was the scheme McCarthy cooked up with the dems.
A sure sign of just how much the two parties are joined at the hip.
The RINOs think they are joined at the hip.
The Democrats are like ‘who the heck are you?’
Except in this case, it seems the dems are voting to oust him despite being besties. Maybe a few will vote no and save his sorry ass.
No … McCarthy just wants the Dems to “like him” … many Gay men have this personality defect
What a waste of time!
It is exposing who is protecting the embedded corruption, it is an important step.
Salt and Light, baby!!
Come on! This is fun! What’s the harm in throwing some deck chairs over the side to float on after the Titanic sinks?
This kind of situation can be very clarifying.
We need a second party.
Remember the Uniparty will quietly ban together to ensure that any apparent, even marginal victory by populists manifests as a win for the other party. It’s their ironclad rule to preserve the narrative that bucking your party’s leadership only helps “the enemy” which is always the other party. Democrats are now lockstep, so the rule only gets applied these days against MAGA.
If McCarthy is ousted …. could it somehow result in a democrat speaker? Another way the Uniparty will ensure it inures to the benefit of democrats?
The NEOCON have hit the XM Radio patriot channel crying about their uniparty speaker.
Donalds- NAY.
These people are all talk. What a joke.
Yep. I guess the people here on CTH pushing Donalds for VP can silence themselves.
He didn’t even show up for the budget vote –
Byron Donalds is not VP material.
Ken Buck (Colo.)
Had to look him up. His huge district is most of the eastern part of Colorado – the ranchers and farmers – and not the Californicated left half.
He is a massive RINO.
Apparently…
In September 2023, Buck came out against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy‘s decision to announce an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. The inquiry was launched by McCarthy to uncover alleged corruption on the part of the President in relation to his son Hunter‘s business dealings. Buck said that McCarthy and Republicans pushing the inquiry did not have enough evidence to launch it and said it relied on “imagined history.”
Maybe that’s why, in this case, he’s siding with the Dimocrat leadership to vote McCarthy out?
“not the Californicated left half”
Not yet but never fear, he’s working hard on that.
Buck rode the Tea Party to election in 2010. As soon as he stepped into DC he dove right into the swamp. He has been making the rounds on fake news pimping for PedoJoe.
The UniParty Repubs are proud of their record on the border and all things achieved recently in Congress under Kevbo’s Leadership. This is according to multiple Congresscritters who each took 2-3 minutes to sing McCarthy’s praises. The U-critters/Repubs are delusional. The UniParty must think we America-first constituents in their districts are happy with Congress. More evidence that the UniParty operates in a bubble/echo chamber. I have never been happy with RINOs and today its the worst its ever been. I support Gaetz. I live in Indiana.
Every time any of them complains about the border, I remind myself – they could have had a big beautiful wall built when PDJT was president.
Upon further reflection my comment was partially incorrect. The UniParty/Repub wing in Congress is not delusional. They simply hate us. They enjoy lying to our face.
I keep seeing this. Wonder if they actually think it’s so great because they watch the State Media? That could certainly be misleading.
Throw Them All Out: How Politicians and Their Friends Get Rich Off Insider Stock Tips, Land Deals, and Cronyism That Would Send the Rest of Us to Prison
by Peter Schweizer | Nov 15, 2011
Another book I remember reading a decade ago that none of my friends wanted to discuss!
“Oh no, the Republicans are going to save us! Fox News said so! We’ll get ’em next time…” 🙄
I believe this is the “burn it down” that many refer to. Quite messy. Sundance says Big Ugly, yep.
A slog but I believe steps in right direction.
MTG….. NO
I’m not surprised. Hagemann from AK just said NO.
Its like Rowdy Roddy Piper putting on the sunglasses in the movie They Live.
Fact! Our Maltese dog named Pancho is 100% smarter than these critters. And 110% loyal.
If Pancho is lookin’ for his bud, he’s in a cheap hotel in Cleveland; OTOH, I once knew a beautiful black Lab named Pancho.
Great song, love to sing it!
Townes VanZandt wrote it, Willie and Merle’s version is the best, jammin.’
Does your dog have a passport? Can he travel? Oh! Our Pancho is a female dog. She attracts would be mates thus way. Pancho is picky. Viva Mexico.
No, he wasn’t mine, belonged to a friend, the dog was bred in Pacific NW, a Pedigree, never trained except obdience training; amazing the innate retrieving instincts of the Lab, great temperament.
MTG voted against…..not surprising because she voted for McC a day before the issue was resolved back in January.
James – No
Michigan – remember James’ and Bergman’s vote!
How does one quietly accept being defrauded out of a Senate win twice?
Oh.
It takes 218 House members to make a majority. We have about 8-10 who actually seem to care about America.
That means that we need about 210 NEW Patriot members of Congress elected next cycle.
Care to know what the record heretofore is for replacing members of Congress in an election cycle?
From 1950 till now, 58 is the largest turnover of incumbents of BOTH Parties. (Brookings Institute)
Out of 58 new members; how many would you say ACTUALLY would govern as Patriots?
Lower the lifeboats!
We were worried the Democrats would support McCarthy. It seems the Democrats would prefer to see a Republican of ANY type removed from anywhere at any time for any reason. THAT joy takes precedent over any deals negotiated.
I thought it was government policy never to negotiate with terrorists or pirates. McCarthy seems to have forgotten that when he agreed to deal with Democrats.
“But but but we’re ALL Uniparty?! Why won’t you defend me?!” Answer: “You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in!”
Trump was right again!
It is with deep regret that we find out today that our rep from Wyoming has already ignored all of her statements and promises she made in the campaign. She has already proved she is part of the show.
Spartz will flip and support KMac, mildly surprising from an observer’s viewpoint; she’s Ukrainian, so she must support WWIII with the Russkies.
If this was Pelosi, she would simply call for a voice vote and declare herself the winner regardless of the volume.
The Uniparty attempted that. Initially, all of the “yeas” said it real softly. Then the “nays” yelled really loudly. The dude running the show declared the “nays” the winner.
Gaetz then asked for a roll call vote. The RINOs and their partners on the commie dem side tried to get away with just voice voting.
BREAKING: Kevin McCarthy has been removed as Speaker of the House.
@GeneralMCNews

The vote is going on RIGHT NOW.
Yeah baby!
Yawn! Ron! On the tv while watching the yays-nays.
Received two donation requests from him today- using a list from PDJT, no doubt!
Nice to know the faces of the Rino corrupticons! Thank you Mr. Gaetz!
Mace – Yay
YAY
Luna didn’t vote?
WarRoom said they thought she may be out for post birth concerns. Not sure if that means her or her child but I pray they both are well.
TY
Looks like a trend with her. Something personal going on?

Thanks! 🙂
At least some citizens are actually feeling represented today. Let the chips fall where they may.
I think we need to make a strike against the deep state and support Matt and his effort to stand up against not only destructive policy but also to the Mc Carthy lies that would go unchecked.
Six Republicans have already voted to remove McCarthy as Speaker.
Andy Biggs (Ariz.),
Ken Buck (Colo.),
Eli Crane (Ariz.),
Matt Gaetz (Fla.),
Bob Good (Va.),
Nancy Mace (S.C.),
If all Democrats voted to remove McCarthy as Speaker (as expected), then the resolution will be adopted …
If successful, Matt will be a Lion, version 2.
Mace! What is up with her?
Very surprising she voted to vacate.
She fears being primaried.
lol… Don’t get hopeful. She was on the View saying it was time for Elis Stefanik to be speaker.
Note Dr. Gosar was a Nay. I’m somewhat surprised.

It’s so frustrating so much “conservative” media claiming Gaetz is taking out Mccarthy because of a personal beef. Which is crazy considering every reporter says that and every time Gaetz lays out where the speaker has repeatedly broken his promises, and when called out of those, he breaks even more promises! You can’t watch an interview with Gaetz without him having to push back on that narrative
Actually it’s true. Gaetz personally thinks McCarthy is crooked.
Heard it so many times it’s become clear that that is the narrative State Media has been told to push, to distract from the actual substance of McCarthy’s failures.
No matter how Gaetz dispassionately responds, they twist it to say it’s personal.
How did Lance Gooden from Texas vote?
I don’t know, but I’ll bet he goes with KMac, knowing his Texas record of Uni-party support aka Joe Straus.
No reply when his name called 1st time nor second time at end
His House voting record shows that he voted to table the effort to “vacate the chair”; so he didn’t want to have to vote on the issue and expose himself; the same record shows him as “not voting,” typical Lance Gooden.
