Now things will really change! Eight members of the House Republican caucus combined with House Democrats to remove a Republican Speaker for the crime of … [checks notes] … allegedly working with Democrats.
And now, the House will grind to a halt while Republicans pick the next Speaker, who will still have to work with a Senate run by Democrats and a Democrat in the White House to accomplish anything other than investigations. Which, by the way, Kevin McCarthy already had operating.

So what comes next? Probably more epic faceplanting.

The most likely way out of this impasse will be to find someone acceptable to enough Democrats to overcome the Rebel Alliance in the GOP. That’s what McClintock means, and that will be precisely where Gaetz et al will have led the Republican majority. And to get there, the GOP will likely have to give up its investigations into Biden Inc in order to get the House back underway.

For years the Republican Party has stood for nothing, and has been rudderless.
This is the inevitable result of that.
They are all a year away from an election. Months away from having to campaign again. Which (R)'s do you think would vote for Jeffries?
And the result of this will be what? Libs in the house are dying of laughter.
McCarthy promised:
To release the J6 tapes. Didn’t happen.
No more CRs. Didn’t happen.
Do debt ceiling increases without border security. Didn’t happen.
No more Omnibus bills. Didn’t happen.
How much failure should we reward exactly?

Oh, he plays political theater. Lol. Show where he voted like a conservative. Total deep state .
Not exactly “history.” In 1859 the House was so divided they never even elected a speaker.
We’re fine.
When John Cornyn is agin’ ya, you’ve won.
Meanwhile, if NOTHING gets passed from the House, so what? Nothing GOOD will get through the Senate, and if all they were gonna do anyway was “investigate” and not actually impeach, it’s still a win.
When gubment is doing NOTHING it’s a win.
Any Speaker that wants to send one single dollar to Ukraine deserves the same thing MaCarthy got. In spades.
the greatest crime of this Congress is that they have sat on their thumbs while the DOJ has deprived the J6 prisoners of due process and civil rights
All Congressional business should be forced to cease until this is rectified
They’re already bought. The vast majority of Republicans don’t represent the base.
We live in ‘interesting times’
Right, McCarthy proposed a temporary spending bill that would have cut spending and secured the border, but idiots like Gaetz opposed it
It appeared evident even before the vote that the stopgap bill was bound to fail, as several hard-right Republicans had declared that they would not back a temporary spending bill, known as a continuing resolution, under any circumstances. And the measure — which would slash spending and impose severe immigration restrictions — never had a chance of preventing a shutdown, since it was regarded as a nonstarter in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
The size of the group of defectors was striking, reflecting both Mr. McCarthy’s weak hold on his conference and the influence of the far right in the House. The bill failed by a vote of 232-198, with 21 Republicans joining all Democrats to oppose it.
“Every time we vote for a continuing resolution, we make no changes in policy or spending,” said Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, who led the charge against Mr. McCarthy’s funding plan. “It’s a vote to continue the status quo.”
Or, maybe the RINOs can set aside their arrogance and instead unify with the rest of the party behind one GOP rep that actually has leadership qualities. McCarthy wasn't the guy, and shouldn't have been the guy to begin with.
Bears repeating!
Neocons say what?
Zeeper says what?
The Stupid Party at it again.
>>So the dog caught the car...
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
— Theodore Roosevelt
Tell me how they come out any weaker? They've been ridden like a two dollar hooker for the last three years by the democrats, tell me how it can get any worse? When what you're doing is utterly failing then doing anything is better than continuing on the same path.
Good riddance to McCarthy. Now go find someone that will fight these evil bastards instead of rolling over and showing his belly.
