>> this is what you get for pulling all this non sense

To say you are pleased with the 25 or RINOs that voted against Jordan, or that not-playing-it-safe is the best thing for our future? Neither of these two conditions would have permitted the birth of the Constitution.

Don’t place the failures & cowardice of others on the rest of us.

Please, these 2 things haven’t changed anything

MCCarthy’s friends evicting Pelosi isn’t any structural change.. just some petty revenge

McCarthy being removed and pelosi being evicted in response to it change nothing structurally at all.

This is just a clown show.. Gaetz is a clown, McCarthy is a clown entire damn house is full of clowns

He’s not. Compared to more firebreathing types... He’s just “ok”. From having actually voted for him as my State Rep, he’s politically to the Right of Newt Gingrich/Willard Romney/ et all...

But from MN... unless someone is dumb enough to vote for me, you aren’t getting much better than Tom.

His house in Delano is about 30 minutes from my house.

Just look at his desire to eliminate the Electoral College among other things. Look at his Conservstive numbers—sorry don’t have a link right now.

So the FReedom Caucus looses again.

I am pissed that we can’t overcome the Rino wall.

The Dems have them all slush unded out so that they will support Dem woke policies whichi destroy America.

OI donot care whether Trump is his #1 fan. If Trump wants to drain the swamp, he does not need a RINO SPeaker.

He is wrong on that issue. I agree with you there...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Emmer#cite_note-FiveThirtyEightSecond-41

There are a couple of other issues I have with him as well... He’s against further 2A infringements... but has told me to my face that he supports the existing laws. I told him... to HIS face... this was not acceptable. This was when he was first running for Governor against Dayton...

If think he’s acceptable as Speaker, you need to become a Democrat.

Perfect form. This is what is wrong with the whole affair. If you were speaking with force for the GOP, I would leave as asked. However, you aren't, so I think I'll just stay the way I am.

Structural change isn’t going to happen until the deep state gets obliterated.

Bob Davis on KTLK.

Had a recurring Friday segment with Justice and Drew (prior to Drew’s death and Emmer taking on more leadership roles in the House)...

Justice is still on the air...

I don’t agree with Tom on everything, but he’s certainly not as bad as some here are making him out to be.

For Speaker? Not sure Tom has the fire we need in a solid Leader. He’s a lawyer first. Always was.

We need a Thomas Sowell that is half a Century younger.

“I don’t agree with Tom on everything, but he’s certainly not as bad as some here are making him out to be.”

Anyone who promotes doing away with the electoral college is just as bad as some make him out to be. That’s a deal-breaker for me.

Emmer is the dirtiest and worst pos RINO yet.
.
The Minnesota congressman was part of the so-called “Blockchain Eight” who signed a letter that tried to quash the Securities and Exchange Commission’s attempts to gain more information on FTX in March 2022 — months before the disastrous implosion of Sam Bankman-Fried’s firm.

Emmer — the third-most powerful member of the House — received $11,600 in direct donations from FTX, putting the failed crypto exchange in his top 15 donors during the 2022 election cycle, according to FEC filings.
