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)
He’s already looking for the next gig. Will probably retire soon.
Ken Buck is an enigma
Was this ANOTHER ” Boebert OPPOSITES ” moment ?
I could deal with Stefanik getting the job. She has had some good moments. Although I still watch her with a crook eye.
Pretty sure I recall her voting nay on this.
She’s a fraud.
She ripped Comey to shreds.
Big frigging deal.
She’s sound and fury with some questionable positions on important matters.
#RINO
It was when Sundance was easing us into the idea of there being a fourth branch.
That was when she was a new member.
she belong to pig-pen…..
She is not to be trusted
Hopefully Elise sees this and understands the consequences. Russians don’t make idle threats…
Larry Johnson posted this remark he made to Judge Napolitano:
The West was put on notice over the past week by Russian leaders. Foreign Minister Lavrov, Defense Chief Shoigu, former President Medvedev and Speaker of the Duma Volodin all communicated a simple message — Ukraine must capitulate or it will cease to exist as a nation!
Could it be that McCarthy was the latest victim of the “Zelensky Curse”?
Remember other leaders that seem to have fallen due to their support for Ukraine: Boris Johnson, Liz Trust, Mario Draghi, Kiril Petkov, Kaja Kallas . . .
and latest slovak premier……
Insanity. Have you looked at her voting record.
Way to go Matty!!! Keep cutting the dead wood away and a healthier tree will grow. Soon there will be a green lush forest. I like Andy Biggs, he has been consistent in his efforts to end the bulls*&t.
Good job people!
I like Rep. Biggs too. He seems to know how the game is played to move legislation forward, and I get the impression he doesn’t really like the Democrats a whole lot.
So, Pence-with-a-twitch, says McCarthy will be voted back in as speaker. New twitches at beginning and a contained smirk towards end when says he will keep America safe (you know he means war that are not our wars).
What a weasel this POS is. Never gonna happen, Mikey boy, NEVER will you set foot in that White House!
Praying Mantis Pence, my insect name for him
Judas Pence is my name for him. He needs to read the tea leaves(and the Treehouse) and go home.
I call him Thirty Pence for similar reasons.
’30 Pence’ sounds too cool. Like 50 Cent if he were adjusted for exchange rate in England
I am going to throw away every comb I can find in my house!
Sounds like duper’s delight.
Sure, and Pence will be voted back in as Vice President!
I think he was more than a bit shaken on that news. They all know that the Ukraine laundromat is closed, at least temporarily.
That is what is upsetting them.
Temporarily? Permanently. Ukraine is literally only able to fight because we continue to prop them up, and even we might not be able to keep propping them up for much longer
Make no mistake, Ukraine is the head of the snake. They are willing to sacrifice all our lives to ensure their dirty dealings there never come to light
Yeah, he was shook for sure. Sort of a dim bulb anyway. Is he really running for president? How come?
Vanity.
Wow. He does twitch. And there are mild almost imperceptible tics. And he bobbed his head repeatedly in a rapid and neurological manner. I would guess Parkinson’s and on medication though there are other medications that can produce these sorts of tremors and tics like Prozac. Perhaps a vaccine injury?
I’m sure I speak for all the other native Hoosiers here when I say… I am SO sorry! 🙁
Eight seconds… Unwatchable.
I have an 11 month old male puppy. My puppy was neutered today. Now my puppy and Kevin McCarthy have something in common.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Funny… I just made an appointment to get my 14 month old puppy neutered today.
why neuter (transition) a male dog? Neutering adversely affects their longevity and their joints! Let the male dog develop normally!
I had a kitten I named Mittens once. He turned out to be a whiney little b*tch.
Trump made keeping promises a thing again.
Whether this proves to be an “Eric Cantor moment” for the House remains to be seen, as the pull of the corruption is so deep on the Hill that memories tend to be short-lived. But for the moment, enjoy the fact that a Uni-party denizen actually faced the consequences of his deception and lost.
McCarthy is not running for Speaker again.
You notice he and Obama are in the same club. Both made grand proclamations only to have the people deliver humiliation.
One small step on the long and winding road back to accountability.
Thank you Mr. Gaetz.
This action is starting to pay dividends already.
If you listened carefully to some of the RINO speeches today, there really was an undercurrent of fear, and I think it was a fear of certain money not flowing to the places they need it to flow in order to keep not only their jobs but their own freedom from incarceration.
I think things involved in the Ukraine are on a shorter time leash behind the scenes than we know.
Good!
I hope it was also fear that their constituents are onto their lies and that if they don’t shape up, they’ll be shipped out next.
Where a people fear the government, that’s Tyranny.
Where the government fears the people, that’s a Republic.
…about a year late (again)…
…’quietly acknowledged to his colleagues that any ukr spending was not winning …
[ and the colleagues, (and military front people ) were spineless to say that (corrupt) ukr spending was wa$teful to
lives,
the national debt,
and military supplies etc.
…But padded some nefarious bank accounts… ]
imho
p.s.
How many U.S. border walls could have been completed with the wasted ukr spending?
[ DC, do you have the calculation, or another medical brain freeze (a precursor to unwanted stroke?)…?
uhhhh… ]
How many U.S. border walls were completed in 2021, 2022, 2023? 0, zero
Did Mexico pay for any of those 3 years of walls ? yep, zero.
[ take a look at whom celebrates that notion – at what all costs, still accruing, to the U.S. society, and laws? ]
Love thy neighbors
vacate a turtle….
More good news.
THROWING SAND IN THE MACHINE!!!
Down with the Uniparty: deposing Speaker McCarthy was the righteous move
Congress shocked and appalled that legislator follows through on promise.
Meanwhile, on all of the major issues, the Uniparty is winning. The southern border remains wide open, the Biden Administration remains entirely unaccountable to the legislative branch, the Slava Slush Fund continues unabated, and the list goes on.
McCarthy’s tenure, like that of his GOP predecessors in John Boehner and Paul Ryan, has thus far been full of empty promises. So Gaetz decided it was time to let it rip and sow some chaos and disorder.
https://www.dossier.today/p/down-with-the-uniparty-deposing-speaker?publication_id=69009&post_id=137637067&isFreemail=true&r=7g0ui
I like many of the ideas of Gaetz. But I think his move showed poor judgement and a lack of a usable political strategy to move to his goals, which I support. He needs to work to broaden the acceptance of his ideas among elected representatives and those looking to be elected. Bringing things to a halt damages the conservative brand in my opinion. All or nothing usually does not bring all.
There is no conservative brand.
There are people who love this country (about 7 or 8 in the House) and sellouts and traitors who have participated in the looting of the Treasury and the hollowing out of this country (all the rest).
The conservative brand = Meatball Ron types.
Upvote 1 million times.
There are a few-the rest are there to go along, get along and get richer.
No, RINOS will not every be brought around to accept conservatism again. It’s time conservatives stop rolling over. There is no broadening the “acceptance” of an idea many RINO donors do not support. Thus, they need to be removed altogether from positions of power, howerver possible.
McCarthy tried to roll over on Repubilicans for the Uniparty. His ouster was needed. Most of us knew from day one he was a horrible unfit choice.
Sometimes, a hammer is required, and this is one of those situations. You know full well trying to quietly maneuver behind the scenes and use kid gloves was NEVER going to work and McCarthy would fulfill his term until the 2024 steal.
I wish Sundance would have an upvote and downvote feature as you would be getting downvoted.
Pardon my bluntness, but . . . .
There isn’t time to dick around.
Agreed to a small degree. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Unless someone, somewhere is somewhat held accountable to reconcile their words versus their deeds, or mis-deeds if you will, then the status quo prevails and we the people continue to lose.
Welcome to the end of the status quo. The same status quo that says Conservstives conserve nothing, and eventually adopt and defend Left wing positions.
We want the Jan 6 tapes. We want Trumps prosecutor’s defunded. McCarthy is a traitor, and it’s hard to use clean language to respect that, but I respect the Treehouse so am not saying what I really think of him.
and we want the 87,000 IRS agents to disappear
….and disarmed…..
There is no conservative GOP-it doesn’t exist. There are a few-the rest are DemLites or whatever moniker you want to assign. They don’t care about you. They don’t care about what you want or what they promise while running. McCarthy lied to get the speakership-it doesn’t take 8 months to impeach Biden, Myorkas and whoever else. He lied about releasing the J6 tapes-that doesn’t take 8 months. It doesn’t take 8 months to move their “investigations” along. For most of them, THIS IS JUST A SHOW-THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF DOING ANYTHING. Wasn’t their constant drumbeat of getting rid of Obamacare enough for you? All they do is lie and do DC the same way all the time. ENOUGH!!!
He lied about practically everything. UniParty RINO if there ever was one.
One thousand upvotes to you Irish Spring!
Nope. There is no more working broadening whatever. McCarthy is done. The uniparty is exposed.
Gaetz, while not on my favorites list, has on this occasion done exactly what the American people want Congress to do. And for the right reasons.
I hold out cautious hope Gaetz is finally at the same point we are.
Stringing us along with broken promises and outright lies is not All or nothing!
Bull****. He just showed you what leadership looks like. He just showed you what principled looks like. Don’t get scared now.
He’s been there for 7 years. Wasn’t happening.
Looks to me like there’s some real movement at last.
Successfully ousting the RINO Speaker seems like quite a usable political strategy to me.
Government working has never been to the benefit of working Americans. Hopefully government stays shut down until we can get Trump back in.
Fortune favours the bold.
We are in the death throws of the republic, time is of the essence.
While it will not crash overnight, by the time people actually wake up and realise they are living a lie they will look back and say: Why didn’t our representatives do something?
The fact that they send form letters in response to constituent questions and suggestions, only to never be heard from again, is a sure sign of the decay.
The days of chivalry are at an end.
People who speak of norms are fraught with fear for they have the most to lose, albeit ill gotten.
While an interesting marketing concern, I wonder how many people would appreciate their representatives telling them; “We didn’t get any of our demands but, Thank God I didn’t damage the brand.”
Sorry for the snark, couldn’t resist.
This is exactly what hasn’t worked. Over and over again.
“conservative brand”
Sigh.
Sorry, but the ouster of Nancy Pelosi’s lap dog was a good and necessary act.
McCarthy has wought far more damage to the “conservative brand” during his tenure. Gaetz is probably beating a dead horse here, but at least we now know it’s really dead.
GOP heading home to lick their wounds after just returning from 7 weeks of vacation. What a bunch of losers –
I saw posted on another site that Mr. Gaetz said their work yesterday consisted of naming two post offices. They need to up it a little but instead, go home. Good grief.
The people in the Texas house take multiple 3day weekends during session – they don’t like to work on Fridays
A week off to better plot and scheme, I’d say.
Exactly. None can be trusted.
It’s to hatch a new plan.
To preserve the Uniparty.
To borrow from that old saying: How do you eat an elephant?….One
bitevote at a time. Little by little the people’s voice will be recognized. It’s our country. You will run it as we require.F*ck McCarthy for saying Gaetz is not a conservative. Down with the uniparty. Kevin is acting like a crybaby. Maybe this piece of shit should have kept his promises. Where’s the J6 footage?
At this point, “conservative” IS the Uniparty. MAGA needs to quit trying so hard to prove they are “conservative”. MAGA identity should only be America First. Need to walkaway from identifying as “consevative”. Quite frankly, even non-conservative lifestylers are America First MAGA Trump-loving Americans. Walk away from the moral authority and superiority foundation of “conservative” politics. Hang the title on the nevertrumps and usurping rinos.
Wth does conservative even mean anymore?
It means they are united in their hatred of MAGA. I put most of them in my rearview mirror in 2015 when I discovered my definition of what being a conservative meant and theirs were two entirely different things.
It’s been a dead brand since Bush 43 and No Child Left Behind.
Agree 100%. Names & Language matter. Ditch MAGA and “conservatives” for America first.
I agree. the masses see MAGA as a derogatory. They hijacked the premise of Make America Great Again. It makes me sick. I ALWAYS say Make America Great Again. I do not use MAGA when speaking to normies. Very few of the masses even know what M.A.G.A stands for. “THEY” have bastardized the acronym.
Hell no to ditching MAGA! The “conservativeshave tried to co-opt it but it still is exclusively MAGA = President Trump Supporters, especially since the Faux MMAGA have been exposed as globalists. All MAGA frauds fail as epically as DeSanctimonious. MAGA has fought hard AND WON the battle to wear it proudly. America First is what it takes to Make America Great Again. They go hand-in-hand.
MAGA MAGA MAGA AMERICA FIRST MAGA AMERICA FIRST PRESIDENT TRUMP FOWARD!
Where’s the defunding of the J6 evil and corrupt Jack shit, and where’s the defunding of the 87,000 IRS agents which was number 1 on McCarthy’s list? He, McCarthy, needs to retire.
Where is the denouncing of the persecution of President Trump?!
I love the last Bayeux tapestry picture!!! Tells it perfectly!
shortest stint as a speaker since 1876, I called to congratulate him for such dishonor, couldn’t have happened to a more arrogant, self-righteous narcissist…
NC Patrick McHenry pro tem speaker
If Tom Emmer gets the job he will be even more arrogant and self-righteous. He is, after all, the poster boy for narcissism.
Looks like he was being rebooted before he answered.
Troy Nehls just tweeted he is nominating Donald John Trump for Speaker of the House.
Awesome!
Absolutely YES! Best move that could be made!!!
That would be seriously awesome.
Yes, that is nice. However, if anyone thinks the rabid Demonrats or the butt-hurt RINOs are going to vote for him… well, my old Dad used to say: “Wish in one hand and [schiff] in the other; and see what you’ve got the most of.”
Good. I hope they all expose themselves for the frauds they are. Write the RINOs names down and vote for their opponent in the primary. Vote all of these people out.
I would to see him defund the FBI, DOJ, Federal Courts, and CIA.
PDJT for SOH! Take off the gloves. Uniparty R puppets please go to the gallery and be quiet.
History of making President Trump Speaker was first pushed by DeSancti posters. Something to think about.
How is that possible? Doesn’t seem right. There must be someone there that can advance our cause.
blob:https://theconservativetreehouse.com/a3d3ac0a-a75f-4f9e-aac6-500e8aa16416
I can relate.
Ideally we’d like them to repeal bad laws, make good laws that help Americans and enforce the laws we already have. But, since we can’t get that, then we’ll settle for humiliating them and watching them twist in the wind. For now, anyway. It may get a lot worse if they continue to refuse to listen and learn.
Well…
Kevin McCarthy did move into the Speaker’s office early
-Seems fitting
for him to move out of it
earlier than he planned..
He didn’t move into the Speaker’s office. The wimp let Pelosi keep it.
BREAKING: U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) says he’s nominating Donald Trump to be Speaker of the House.
@GeneralMCNews
https://t.me/GeneralMCNews/5962
pretty sure President Trump is a bit busy between all the lawsuits and running for President, why would anyone want to add additional distractions?
Yeah, but just imagine the subpoenas he could issue to the Lawfare cabal….
He need not fear actually being elected to Speaker.
Think about it. The entirety of the MIC has spent 8 years now doing everything it can to ensure that President Trump never gains full ability to govern on behalf of this country.
There is no way in hell they are letting him be 3rd in line for the Presidency with only a demented figurehead and a constitutionally ineligible laughing hyena in between him and the Oval Office.
The paymasters of the 210 McCarthy voters will NEVER allow them to vote President Trump into the Speakership.
That means at least six, and probably more, will have to vote against him, at a time when he has probably 90 percent support among likely R voters. Ooof. Bye bye to the “falling on their swords” six in 2024, with strong pressure to resign now.
Voting FOR President Trump for Speaker OTOH, is effectively an endorsement in the Presidential. Because, you are going to vote for him to be Speaker but not President?
Scylla and Charybdis. Welcome to the jungle, Elise Stefanik and Chip Roy.
And if by some twist of the short hairs they all lined up and elected him Speaker? You could expect something to hit the fan the very next day, in the real world.
McCarthy is giving Press conf right now, and he is sure laying it on thick, now he is saying those people who voted against him are not
conservatives and should not call themselves that either, but he is another Rino who cares nothing about doing his job, He didnt go his job he lied and made promises he never intended to keep . Sorry, I am sorry this happened because it takes away from the other crap going on with the Bidens and how sad that mccarthy gave Biden everything he wanted when he raised the debt ceiling and gave him the ability to spend as much money as he wanted and he also lied about releasing the jan 6th takes We know what the truth is about the people being set up and now sitting in jail and he should have been the first one to want those people out and back with their families.
He’s a whining crybaby. He can go back to California and run for governor after Newscum ousts Biden.
Bub bye Bitch. Now go away ex-Speaker, and just fade away.
Looks like MTG is showing her true colors. And Byron Donald’s, what the heck?
Byron too? WTF. Well, good to know.
Chip Roy’s diatribe is also embarrassing. Wow.
Right now we have no President essentially, no VP essentially and no Speaker of the House.
Who is the President Pro Tem of the Senate?
I think the line of succession is President, the Vice President, then Speaker of the House, the Secretary of State. Wonder what Anthony Blinkin is thinkin right about now!
No it’s the President pro tem of the Senate who comes after the Speaker of the House. I just don’t know who that is at the moment.
Senator Grassley?
Patty Murray, who makes Harris look brilliant and conservative by comparison.
Maybe Pfizer and Moderna can pick up the tab for servicemen pay during government shutdown.
McCarthy said he won’t run again….
***
Wants the next speaker to be elected on round one…
And…
So he’s a sore loser too. Good to know.
I hope McCarthy has a new office by now.
He will be sharing an office with Frank Luntz. At Fair-Market value of course.
Ahem, Hey Kevin, how about grabbing a weapon and head to the Ukraine. You nazi backing pos.
Stefanik was the brains behind defending Trump during the impeachment. She has supported Trump from the beginning and won seats in NY that saved the House for the GOP.
Lies. The same people who put ms McCain in that position were attacked by the base so they replaced her with Stefanik. The same exact people. Who supported ms McCain.
I think we’re still being forced to watch a movie…
Trump supports Stefanik 100%. She was one of the first to endorse Trump. She replaced Cheney, who was a disaster.
This was a really good move to throw that whole body into chaos.
They had gotten way too cozy with their corruption.
The process is pouring sunlight on them and they can’t escape it.
I see Byron Donald’s name mentioned negatively on here with regard to this process.
What did he do to disparage his name?
Voted to retain McCarthy
I’m wondering if it was a strategy to appeal to more members. Whoever gets elected will need votes from everyone that voted no today.
Also did not even show up to vote on CR.
We need a economics wizard to helm the speakership.
I hope this scares the anti-trumpers to death. Time for the people to take their government back. Thank you Matt for having the guts to stand up to the enemy’s of the people!!
As one of his first acts as the acting speaker, Rep. Patrick McHenry ordered former Speaker Nancy Pelosi to vacate her Capitol hideaway office by Wednesday – Politico
DON’T PISS OFF ” Little Men ” ( i ASSUMED Again )
Nancy is whining and her excuse is she’s in California for the Feinstein funeral and won’t be able to retrieve her belongings by the deadline. Hey Nance, just have your staff put your liquor in a box and store it till you get back.
… but the public computer / software stays … [ and secured ?]
You have a point.
& isn’t it kind of weird that Uniparty McHenry (hand-picked by McCarthy) would suddenly throw Nancy out of her plum office when McCarthy hadn’t in all these months? (Her protestations could all be for show.)
Between that and the week’s delay, I wonder whether they’re trying to cover something up just in case.
Maybe I’m just tired, hearing hoof beats and thinking zebras.
They are MAGA folks.
AKA America First.
Okay Ms Luntz. You win. They’re not conservatives. So what? Bye-bye
“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.).

All three have disavowed any interest in replacing McCarthy — a reality that could change now that the Californian is officially out. “
Imbeciles. All imbeciles.
Why? Oh why? Why would anyone even consider placing one of three “leaders” — none of whom voted to kick kEVIL McCathy out — into the Speaker slot? What sense does that make?
Sheesh. Once again I’m dumbfounded.
And if you ever read anything I said about how filthy Minnesota politics and politicians are, look no further than Tom I’m-all-that-and-you-won’t-be-heard-above-all-my-own-self-praise Emmer. Liar and decepticon extraordinaire.
Please, human excrement would be a better choice at Speaker of the House over self-kissing Tommy.
Nancy Mace has made quite the transition recently and voted to fire McCarthy. I’ve watched her recently on Bannon as she’s moved towards MAGA. I’m interested. Bannon mentioned her specifically this PM as a surprise vote against McCarthy. Hope her name comes up in the debate.
Sorry to say . . . She wouldn’t have voted that way had she been the necessary sixth vote instead of the unnecessary 8th.
There’s always a wolf sneaking in under the cover of the sheep’s clothing. Deception.
That’s a very reasonable take on her. Having listened to her recently, I sense a change in her but it’s JMO.
She is a smart girl who sees the tide turning. The fact that she is at least smart enough to realize that makes her better than 90% of Congress!
Gaetz was effective. He used his words and passion on the fly. Intelligent.
Mr. Gaetz goes to Washington!
McCarthy’s crazy talk…
***
McCarthy brought this on himself…
***
Lindsay Graham idiotic as usual…
Republicans unified?
Nope. Not since the “Republican party” decided to stab President Trump — and every patriot — in the back.
They all act like we don’t know they could have built a wall while PDJT was in office.
What they really wanted is to trade “border security” (which is really funding for the invasion) for more taxpayer funds to the ukraine laundromat.
Great post, FPCHmom. You hit the bullseye.
A+
Miss Lindsey is so full of shite.
McCarthy’s book deal will be worth millions. I’m guessing he is being paid to take a dive to keep deceiving the public into believing that Congress is representing us in any meaningful way
Good. One less piece of shit we have to get rid of. Tell McConnell to take the dive next. It’ll be worth whatever they pay. I like this deception of getting rid of traitorous scumbags. Keep it up.
Need to get rid of all of them
There you go.
Ronald would be a better Speaker of the House than either of the clowns next to him.
Matt Gaetz for speaker, of course.
Holy shit. I can’t believe they actually went and did this. I figured it would be just talk as usual
The title of greatest street fighter in Congress belongs to Matt Gaetz. He has taken on all comers in their own backyards and destroyed them all masterfully. He did not fade or waiver in the spotlight or heat of battle. It was brilliant. Bravo!!!
Breaking…” U.S. Representative Troy Nehls announces his intention to nominate Donald Trump for Speaker of the House”. Remember, the Speaker of the House is granted full immunity from prosecution, both civil and criminal!
Now you’re talking! See Dr. Steve Turleys latest video on this. Trump for Speaker is trending nationwide and the rino’s are quaking in their boots along with a lot of corrupt prosecutors because Speaker Trump can subpoena anyone he wants according to Turley.
