Let us pray that this continues. We really can do so much better.
Vote for MTG as speaker. That would explode liberal heads.
The Republicans need to elect a MAGA Speaker who will refuse to recognize the election of members by obviously corrupted elections. AK with ranked choice voting not in accordance with the AK legislature? Sorry, the election isn’t recognized as legitimate. Detroit where ballots showed up in the middle of the night? Sorry, redo the election. Delaware County, PA where the ballots took an hours long detour out of view of the election watchers? Sorry, redo the election. McCarthy won’t do any of that.
Nancy Pelosi said today that after praying the rosary she’s determined God wants her to be speaker of the house again.
He is supposed to be the leader of the republicans who are the faithful puppets of their voters.
“Great news”
Oh, really?
You do realize that the vote will be taken by the entire House.
You do realize that McCarthy is the Republican nominee.
You do realize that should he not receive the majority of the votes cast that the RATS could easily retain the speakership.
But I’m sure you already know that
He’ll cut a deal with Dems for some cross over votes and then sell out the country some more
Take it to the bank. We are a banana republic
A spine should be a job requirement. The left needs to realize that their actions will result in equal or greater reactions.
Ahhhhh…sure.🙄 The rats will line up and vote for him. Why not? He bends over for them like he does for his roommate Luntz….it’s a sure bet!
Yes good news, however GP......might need a backup source.
The Speaker of the House has to be elected by the entire house. If McCarthy doesn’t have the votes on first ballot, it goes to a 2nd and maybe a 3rd. If there is not a “Republican” who can get all the Republican votes, there is a chance the Dems can do some damage. Keeping Republican’ts together appears to be like herding cats .... Pelousey has it down pat with keeping the DemonRats “together” and in lockstep (Schumer as well in the Senate). I do not know who on the Republican’t side would get enough votes if McCarthy doesn’t have enough. We’ll have to see how it plays out.
On McCarthy - he is one of the original 3 “Young Guns” ... the other two were Eric Cantor & Paul Ryan. I’d like to see McCarthy ‘toes up’ at the political OK Corral along with the other two .... on general principles, all speaker-ship matters aside. He’s a weak poodle.

FYI if you’re not familiar with “Young Guns”
Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders Paperback – September 14, 2010
by Eric Cantor (Author), Paul Ryan (Author), Kevin McCarthy (Author)
Description (note: you may need a barf bag when you read this & see the difference between the ‘words’ and actual ‘action’):
Make no mistake: Congressmen Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy are proud Republicans. But they believe the party had lost sight of the ideals it believes in, like economic freedom, limited government, the sanctity of life, and putting families first. This isn’t your grandfather’s Republican party. These Young Guns of the House GOP—Cantor (the leader), Ryan (the thinker), and McCarthy (the strategist)—are ready to take their belief in the principles that have made America great and translate it into solutions that will make the future even better, solutions that will create private sector jobs, maximize individual freedom, and establish a better world for our children. This groundbreaking book is a call to action that sets forth a plan for growth, opportunity, and commitment that will propel this country to prosperity once again. Together, the Young Guns are changing the face of the Republican party and giving us a new road map back to the American dream.
Aww shucks, and Kevin was going to read the Constitution on his first day as speaker. Because, well it’s always all about symbolism over substance with guys like McCarthy. He thinks if he reads the Constitution out loud in the chamber that everyone will think he’s really making a profound statement. That this time the Rs are really going to be led by our constitution. Which is a laugh because Congress is light years away from Constitutional, because of the leadership of both parties. No one needs Kevin to read the Constitution as a prop.
This is a big dilemma. A Trump MAGA type would not have the support of any Democrats and only a subset of the Republican caucus.
With those numbers, a McCarthy might be the best option, and he doesn’t have the votes.
We could then end up with someone far more liberal between a Democrat and RINO collusion…
Because he doesn’t have our enemies as target, more his mentors.
All the Democrats need is 5 of the 12 Republicans who voted for gay marriage this month to allow Democrats to choose the new speaker.
McCarthy is not good, but we could end up with worse.
I nominate Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House!
😁
Trump for Speaker!
It is great news. Remember when he blurted out about the Benghazi hearings.
It will be a republican version of Nancy and Chuck. We need someone with principles and integrity.
