In a historic first the House of Representatives has voted to remove Kevin McCarthy from his position as Speaker of the House.
Kevin McCarthy is officially removed.
WASHINGTON DC – Democrats joined with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and his small group of conservative allies to vote to strip Kevin McCarthy of his gavel Tuesday. It’s unclear who would succeed McCarthy long term, though his allies expect he will try to run for speaker again.
Eight Republicans voted against McCarthy: Reps. Eli Crane (Ariz.), Ken Buck (Colo.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Matt Rosendale (Mont.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Bob Good (Va.), Nancy Mace (S.C.) and Tim Burchett (Tenn.).
Three House leaders have been floated as potential long-term replacements: Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.). All three have disavowed any interest in replacing McCarthy — a reality that could change now that the Californian is officially out. (read more)

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Win!
😂😆🤣
Just the kind of VERIFICATION to make my day….😍
One Mc down two to go.
Scratch one Uniparty Puppett.
Cannon fire.
Ft. Sumter is ablaze.
Hahaha! Nice!
Very witty!
BEAST
😹😹😹😹😹
That’s actually one I can figure out.
I’m with you Justice! 🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Kevin should’ve had it to begin with.
That’s GREAT !!
Shove it up McCarthy’s @$$ sideways! Fire for effect!
Ah, that’ll teach me to just jump in here and post a comment without reading the rest first. (I posted this same pic a few hours after you did)… oh well, it’s funny enough that it’s worth more than just one. 😀
Holeeeeee cow…..
Retired Magistrate here: Good; I have had it with people who lie and assume the rest of us are to stupid to notice.
That’s basically what Victor Davis Hanson told Tucker Carlson the left is assuming as they destroy the country unabated! If you haven’t, see Tucker’s interview it’s frightening!
It gave nightmares!
When Victor Davis Hanson
started throwing the Jacobin
description out there….
Got my attention 😵💫😵💫
So Kevin actually said, “bring it on”?
Apparently he didn’t have Frank do a poll on that first.
There’s no telling what Frank did with his pole to Kevy.
I imagine Big Frank is mighty butt hurt is boyfriend got the heave ho.
Careful about “to stupid,” Marcia. How about “too stupid”?
That’s right, find fault with somebody’s speling…😁
I too have had it with the liars, cheats, and thieves.
Remember what McCarthy did to Madison Cawthorne?
McCarthy was instrumental in turning the Red Wave into a red ripple.(election interference aside)
He funded moderate candidates to go up against good patriotic America First Republicans. When voters overwhelmingly chose the MAGA candidates, he pulled funding. He also did zero to help Republican candidates that contested their races because of voter irregularities and fraud. In other words he did the same thing as the other to Mcjackasses, lost us MAGA representatives.
The Mc portion of the Congressional population appears to be a dying breed.
It can’t happen fast enough. Next up McChina and McRomney!
Paging Rand Paul
I second that move!
Kevbo is a typical Uniparty puppett.
“people who lie and assume the rest of us are to stupid to notice.”
Unfortunately, they are correct in their assumption. How do you think we got here?
And it’s not so much a matter of stupidity, it’s a matter of too few people devoting enough time, effort and attention to see the lies through the propaganda along with too few people even having the ability to see through the propaganda having never been taught, by design, the learned skill of critical thought and analysis.
Book: Attention Deficit Democracy (2006) by James Bovard
You couldn’t be more right, Winston. Public School curriculums have been watered down, and grades have been reduced to numerical points, not actual learning points. I’ve lamented for quite a while about how poorly history is taught, how subjects don’t connect so students can see how their learning connects, and then assessments are reduced to multiple choice responses and ridiculous document based questions that require regurgitation and not understanding and explanation. Those who have honed their critical thinking skills have pulled far away from the pack. It’s really rather remarkable to observe.
Winston, You just laid out perfectly what has been the goal of demon c rats in the so called educational, aka indoctrinational system.
The incestual, lifeblood, aka teachers union, has served the masters well, and destroyed at least 3 generations . Listening to the “products” of their work during the riots, was absolutly horrifying and an eye opener as to the success of their evil works & the empty echo chambers they produced.
Here is what I notice. First of all, no one wants to read anymore. Too many people want to just “watch” the news. They get lazy and don’t pay attention or don’t use critical thinking when they are watching news reports. Don’t misunderstand. I know there are lots of great videos out there, but reading is essential.
Sad and true. A friend of mine told me somewhat recently that she watches late night shows for the news. I believe it can be referred to as NEWS-LITE, or maybe NEWS-ISH. Either way, it’s just bait for the terminally uninformed.
When my sister started quoting Colbert, I quit talking to her.
So is cursive.
Now is the time to call your congressman, aside from the 8 heroes, and let them know we are all working to make sure they aren’t in office next term. McCarthy lied to get the chair, then you voted to protect his grift. You’re ALL gone! Peace!
Yes, my RINO was contacting me last week begging for donations. I’m going to let him know that after careful consideration, I sent it to Matt Gaetz instead 😂
I called my RINO earlier today and told him to vote to vacate. Also told him no more money for Ukraine. Obviously, he doesn’t care. Oh, BTW, Mc Henry, who will be filling in as Speaker, is also from Western NC and and represents part of Asheville. He is a bigger RINO than my Congressman Edwards, who Thom Tillis put in place by running a smear campaign against Madison Cawthorne. The Republican Party in NC is pure RINO scum.
Yes, it is!!
Except for Dan Bishop.
Would Ex-Congressmen Cawthorne consider running again?
Yeah, it is sad to see so many people get all giddy because he vacated Botox, next they will want him for POTUS. Folks need to do a little reading before getting giddy because of one action. His hammer gavel told me enough, then others started reporting what you have said to confirm he is indeed not someone to be pulling for or liking.
Oh no… she will hear it in person very soon. Will be an interesting townhall.
My fear is that McCarthy and his ilk will work with the Dems to get a Dem speaker, just to screw everyone over.
Maybe McCarthy WAS the Democratic speaker.
Uniparty.
Exactly.
No maybe about it.
All the same team. Don’t know why so many in here fall for the political theatre.
KM is a closet Marxist clown bought and paid for…along with all the idiot reps who voted for him 15 times back in Jan.
The Manchurian Community College Sandwich-Seller.
Please let them. Then everyone will see the fraud on the record.
Already was.
Then the GOP will suffer a catastrophic defeat in the House and Senate, and especially if they deny Trump the nomination.
Today may have marked the beginning of the end of the Republican Party in major American politics. Let’s hope so. One wing of the Uniparty is about to be neutralized!
If President Trump’s momentum becomes insurmountable, that may indeed be one of the backup plans.
They might put Nancy back in. But then we will know exactly who dunnit.
There is no doubt that a deal has been made in the back room because that’s what they do…play stupid games, win stupid prizes. . The three R candidates really don’t want to work to earn what they are paid. They bounced it back to the dems because they obviously want Hakeem Jefferies too or because the traitors who won’t represent the people appropriately made a deal before the vote because that is what they do……
The corrupt leftist state run msm is spinning McCarthy’s ouster as he refused to shutdown the government like the Republicans wanted! Total bill💩! How I loathe the msm!!!
Frank Luntz better take Kevie to The Feathered Sausage gay bar & grill for a couple cocktails…
Winner today!
And some “sausages”….
The tears of Meathead Hannity make me warm deep inside.
Reality check: What is the next step and will it be in the direction of Constitutional protection?
of all the possible next steps, toward the Constitution is almost certainly the LAST step at this point.
Seems like it.
Good riddance. Stay gone, snake.
Line-Up for Yesterday
I’m rarely shocked anymore. I am shocked. I had been all set to roll my eyes when he survived. Wow. Good job !
I wonder if democrats would help him get back in? by either having a few vote that way or having 15 or so members leave and not vote
THANK YOU, MATT GAETZ!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!
We have a patriot! Such a joy to behold. Hang in there, y’all — it’ll probably be bumpy for a while! Wow! Just wow!! Thank you all for being brave and following through.
Let’s save the country!
Won’t happen
sure have heard that a lot of times the last few years….
LIVE: House votes on motion to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker | NBC News
https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2023/10/live-house-votes-on-motion-to-oust.html
Bravo, Gaetz, Bravo !!!
they very well might. they need only 6 republicans to join them
Only good thing is people like being the chair of a committee and not the minority “leader” (the correct term alludes me at the moment).
Proper terms often elude me too.
ranking member, I believe.
That might start a civil war.
Don’t worry – they always have a soft landing (and many offshore accounts.)
That meme is about the funniest damn thing I’ve seen in a long, long time. It would have fit perfectly in The Search for the Holy Grail.
I will hold my applause: I trust nothing about anything in a room full of DEMS and RINO’S.
If MAGA Conservatives were a majority of the members of Congress, I would be more trusting.
So, wait and see!
I do enjoy seeing McCarthy spanked.
Wait . . .
I agree , but I will take a Ginger Ale toast where I can find it for the moment anyway – Plus so Humiliating for McCarthy , poor Frank must be sooo upset ..
They will now elect Soros’ son.
😱
The tapestry
OMG
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
Now Gaetz and another member need to move to elect President Trump as Speaker.
Not because the motion would pass, but because it would not.
Seeing Jim Jordan vote against President Trump, THAT would be masks off, and primary challenges ON.
Go for the full Monty.
I like your suggestion……out the bastards!
great idea just for the vote tally. and explicitly say THATS WHAT IT IS.
Matt’s on a roll ripping the masks off the RINO’s – he might as well finish the job.
Knowing it would fail anyway, I somehow relish the thought of a vote on Trump being House Speaker showing all the American people reality as it is.
Reminders of A Clockwork Orange come to mind…an American public having to watch with eyes forced open, to see the ugly charade for what it really is: a UniParty which gives America the middle finger.
“ Ultra Violence” Stanley Kubrick if I am not mistaken.
A truly iconic movie..we grew up in an environment that was similar to that.
Bowler hats, and “ Doc Martens”
Cheers!
Absolutely terrific idea. Having the person second in line of succession after the Vice President being under multiple indictments would warm my heart no end.
Trump doesn’t want to be Speaker. That would be a step down. Who goes from having the number 1 position to having the number 3 position? No one does.
If Trump wanted to ruin the swamp it would be a good play.. especially since he ain’t getting back in the WH.
Pas trop d’esperance dans ton coeur?
Oui, triste.
He can still campaign for President and be Speaker. Imagine the changes he would make to house rules and pass bill to MAGA. Of course the Senate would not pass the bills and Biden veto them, but… it would show the country who the swamp critters are. Plus, should Biden step down and KamelToe die or quit, he would be President.
He doesn’t have to do it forever, just long enough to get the badly needed arrows to fall some apples.
The Speaker Pro-Tem appoints the new speaker. I’ll bet on the long shot.
YEP!
Jordan already voted against Trump for speaker ….
Fantastic idea!
Yep…tis time for all of us to know exactly where the RINO side of the UNiParty stand before the most consequential election of our lifetime takes place. Shocked about Scalise…not about Stefanik or others. All traitors. NONE of them have put the country first.
Sundance, I printed out and framed the quote “Behold the field” for my husband’s desk a couple of years ago.
He is a man of brutal honesty with a huge heart.
Love it!
Let the exposure of pretending commence and those perpetrating it be vanquished.
HOLY SHIT!!!
I think your gates was legit when they tried to take him out as a pedophile
“May you live in interesting times.”
Curiouser and curiouser by the day.
I’m going to continue in prayer for what’s left of America, President Trump and his family and supporters, and all those who are trying to retain some semblance of our beautifully designed governmental system.
“May you live in interesting times.”
It’s a Chinese curse. All roads lead to China but no longer with McCarthy’s help. 😉
Sorry – voice texting and driving. I was so excited to read that headline.
That’s happened to me a time or two:)
At this point anything to throw sand in the machinery is good news! McCarthy was always a soft rhino who stood for nothing….an empty vessel as @sundance would say. I am interested in hearing @sundance opinion on what happens now.
Me too!
Let’s see – last I heard Scalise was in the hospital undergoing some sort of blood cancer treatment, and Matt – I think it was – had mentioned something about a delay until he’s better.
I also noticed Stefanik’s name on the list of those voting in favor of the most recent Ukraine boondoggle. Just dug out the article (below) and all the three names mentioned above – Stefanik, Emmer, and Scalise – are on it, along with usual RINO criminals like Crenshaw. Let ’em keep their disavowments…
Two that are not on it: Andy Biggs and James Comer. I’ve heard both of them on Dobbs’ show several times this year, always talking nothing but nitty-gritty of their investigations. I believe they’re both in the Freedom Caucus.
Andy might be a possibility. He’s unassuming enough not to scare the RINOs too much, but he seems to be solid.

Emmer is from MINNESOTA, the most far left rino state in the union Maybe next to califonia.
eMMER IS A mcCARTHY clone. These robots are lefty a$$ ki$$ing wolves in sheeps clothing.
I have first hand person experience of what I am saying. emmer is a lefty turncoat.
Scalise voted NO.
He did? Well, maybe the Gateway Pundit’s list is inaccurate. That would be good news about Scalise, I guess.
I have heard that sometimes they make mistakes rushing to a story..
Nevertheless, his name is in the list in the article to which I linked.
Fredo is out but a Micheal needs to be found….Don Corleone weeps.
Time to “go to the mattresses!”
Need a room full of war time conciliaries!
Devin Nunes knows where some of the skeletons are buried. He might have a few words as Speaker.
That’s an interesting thought.
Look at Nunes rumble channel for the video he posted yesterday with Mike Huckabee. Nunes was all for the CR and very much against Matt Gaetz.
I wonder what Devin knows…..
YES!!!!
He’d be great! Ric Grenelle would be awesome if he could get enough votes!
I used to like Ric until he betrayed President Trump.
He joined Mike Huckabee yesterday in chastising Matt for going against Kevin. Very disappointed in Nunes. He is all about towing the RINO party line.
There is a difference between tactics and being all in on RINOism.
Might be disappointed in this take, won’t condemn the man over it.
Devin Nunez has a Rumble
GOP debate inexplicably ignores biggest issue facing America: the weaponized justice system👆👆👆
6 minute clip
he talks about CR
I did watch another one
and yes, it is tactics.
He sure does. He probably wants to stay out of that cesspool. Devin Nunes would be an amazing Speaker though!
Xpost from the other thread:
Luckily that Keebler Elf Kev Minion has no arm strength or his hissy fit slam of the gavel might have shattered that thing. I swear to God, everyone in Congress is a child.
I’d say make Chip Roy the speaker, but he endorsed DeSandyPants.
Anyone supporting DeSantis is pure Deep State.
The status quo is broken. We know it. They learned a bit of it today.
I am hopeful that my district will primary Chip Roy and he will be gone for good. 🙂
Dan Crenshaw to that list.
Chip is lately another disappointment, I’ve gathered, but forget exactly why… Sorry my aged memory rarely remembers “the rest of the story.”
Chip Roy is a bought and paid for Bushie. He wholeheartedly supported the take down of Ken Paxton in Texas. No, thank you!
Try again.
Nope — he talks a good game, but not MAGA.
I am very glad that my person House rep (R) joined Matt in ousting McCarthy.
He’s got my vote for sticking with MAGA principles here.
He needs to go on tour with the Loser Debate Team as Speaker of The Bus!
The tapestry says it all.
FKM!
Because the democrats were so glad to help make this happen, I don’t assume that either the process or the result is a clean win.
Agree! The Dems would only agree if they knew the next speaker would be better for them. I am having a hard time celebrating.
It won’t be.
No, they’ll definitely be jockeying to get one of their cabal in…
That’s OK. The GOPe got the message. And the American *people* are still warming up in the bullpen.
These people have NO idea what’s coming for them.
So I guess the House will be in disarray for awhile.
Just enough for all sides to claim this as a reason for not completing individual funding bills on time and having to pass another CR (Continuing Resolution), maybe!?!
That’d be about forty days hence.
We went seven days last go.
I think they have time.
Of course they will have time, but that won’t stop using it as a political excuse, will it?
Could be.
Could be fewer and fewer are buying what they sell.
Hey – nice thought!
Good and thank God! He thought he’d be there 40 more years.
Now Democrats and RINOs can work their mischief. I fear this was the right thing to do at the wrong time.
I hold out hope that the perks of being a committee chair outweighs their hatred of the little guy (not talking about Foam boy)
at this point in time of our demise, who cares
“What difference, at this point, does it make?”
What will happen to the “Investigations”? They were just for show but still some useful information came out.
That’s right. We’re going for broke. This is the FUN part!
Me? I’m betting on a hundred million patriots. The piper WILL be paid.
the spice must flow
I never liked McCarthy, but I am not ready to pop the champagne cork. I fear that something worse this way cometh.
Steve Scalise, for one.
Ok. Boo hoo.
President Trump for speaker.
Alternatively, Kari Lake.
Actually someone mentioned Devin Nunes above…that is not a bad idea.
I could go for that!
Nunes spoke yesterday with Mike Huckabee. He was very much against Matt’s plan to oust Kevin. He was pushing the CR last week. Check out Nunes’ channel on Rumble. The video with Huckabee was from yesterday.
I keep getting disappointed.
Seems they’re all rinos.
Here in Western NC, we are stuck with Rinos for the foreseeable.
When we do have primary’s again, I have promised to do everything in my power to get tillis primaried. I’ll work like I’ve never worked in my life.
You still have to get them past the RINOs. It’s either that, or a Democrat will be Speaker.
Thank you Matt!!
As to why some might not want to be put up for speaker, I suspect that few would want their uniparty status uncovered
as was McCarthy’s.
They might be expected to do the job of the people.
Stefanik as replacement?
Am I getting this wrong? But didn’t she just argue against replacing McCarthy in the floor debate about an hour ago?
She voted “no”
there ya go … thx
Stefanik’s votes ALWAYS suck.
gnimrodman, Stefanik stood up and said “I support Kevin completely…” Her colors have recently changed (sad), as well as Scalise, Massie, Chip Roy, Jordan.
She also voted to send more to UKE
History on the boil!
Is this a one time only application, or can the next Speaker be ousted in the same manner?
Gaetz held out for the option of forcing a Speaker vote on the proposal of a single Representative as part of the terms McCarthy had to accept in order to receive votes that would confirm his Speakership, it was a rare if not unprecedented move.
I don’t see that rule lasting long unless it’s forced upon the next Speaker as well.
Maquis, did you mean “single Resolution (single subject bills)”??? instead of single Representative?
Thanks.
No, I was referencing the rule allowing the forcing of a vacate vote on the motion of a single Rep.
Jim Jordan defends McCarthy. Remember who the traitors are folks!
Bob Good. He is my congressman. I respect him for voting to remove McCarthy. BUT he endorsed DiSantis and that is unforgivable. Bob asked Trump for his endorsement and Trump gave it to him. Bob-the-Back-stabber’s endorsement of DeSaster means he is fine with the Bush globalists who control DeSaster running our country. There’s no way back from that betrayal of America First, Bob.
Well Kevin did make history today! LOL, the look on his face was priceless. “Bring it on”, bit him in the ass.
Smile on my face for someone that needed to be smacked down hard, got it.
