By a vote of 216-210, the House ended Kevin McCarthy’s two-faced, double-dealing speakership, as he became the first and only person booted out as Speaker of the House. A bipartisan majority decided enough was enough with McCarthy who had promised to allow congressmen to read an appropriations bill and wait 72 hours before holding a vote. He broke that promise this weekend. Matt Gaetz moved to remove him. Gaetz and 7 other Republicans joined 208 Democrats to vote McCarthy out.
This is a payback. McCarthy and his loyalists joined Democrats to pass the Democrat budget. Gaetz used Democrats to oust McCarthy. Democrats wisely go by the Benedict Arnold Rule: never trust a turncoat.
It turns out that Jamaal Bowman pulled that fire alarm 3 days early because McCarthy’s forced resignation just set the House afire, figuratively.
Rank-and-file Republicans are as happy to see McCarthy leave as Taylor Swift is writing a song about the boyfriend she just dumped. Washington lifers are as sad as Travis Kelce will be when she dumps him.
The lifers are so mad that they are writing mean things about Gaetz.

House Republicans’ ability to govern? Does he mean the losers who wasted two years of power by not lifting a finger to Build The Wall? What is the sharp contrast with Biden’s open borders disaster? House Republicans made Biden’s policy possible.
House Republicans’ ability to govern? Does he mean the losers who wasted two months defending Liz Cheney when she gave Nancy Pelosi cover for that January 6 witch hunt?
House Republicans’ ability to govern? Does he mean the losers who sit on the sidelines while Democrats railroad President Trump with frivolous lawsuits and indictments meant to bankrupt him in legal fees?
I will care about House Republicans when they start caring about me.
Clinton got Lewinskied and McCarthy got Cheneyed.
Time to make getting Cheneyed a verb.
I’m done with Lauren Boebert. Even Ken Buck voted to oust the Speaker.
I have serious doubts about MTG.
“Where was this anger as millions of migrants poured over the southern border?
“Where was this anger as US debt rises over $33T?
“Where was this anger when the FBI rounded up Trump supporters and threw them in prison?
“Where is this anger as the ‘justice’ system tries to take out Biden’s top opponent in 2024?
“They sit back and do nothing as our country burns but fume when their buddy loses his Speaker role.”
While Republicans show all the discipline of Lizzo on a diet, Nancy Pelosi kept her side of the aisle in line like a Marine drill instructor.
Any elected Republican who associates with or takes advice from Liz Cheney should be kicked out of the party.
I’ve commented on this event and have received many replies, all of which I agree with.
Taking a RINO out is a good thing
While the optics are very bad, we don’t get good press anyway, so does it really matter.
People who are idiots will still be idiots after this fracas. Very few voters will flip because of this d!ck measuring contest.
The bottom line of it all is, the election is still fixed and the voting system corrupted, all this drama accomplished nothing.
“… he became the first and only person booted out as Speaker of the House…”

Well, with that he earned a spot in a TRIVIA CARD DECK. And THAT is his major accomplishment.
Savouring the schaudenfreude.
How exactly do RINO’s “govern”. By doing everything the Democrats want just at a slightly slower speed.
We neither want nor need that kind of “governing”.
Indeed. Love The Headline.
Well we’ve had salutary results already.
The despicable witch queen was thrown out of her comfy digs along with her sleazoid wingman.
They do crap like that to the worthless Republicants all the time, it’s nice to see a bit of payback.
If only McCarthy had the stones to do that to them in the first place he wouldn’t have been knifed by them so gleefully. And he might still be there.
Finally... an article that tells it like it is!
+1000
How do guys like Queer Kevin become multimillionaires on a government salary?
A LOT of precedents have been set in just the past few days, not just in the Speakership of the House.
It does not matter if some few in Congress become “unelectable”, elections apparently do not matter anyway.
Do not be too gleeful about this particular outcome. Once the avalanche is started, it is a little hard to outrun it.
When you see a Democrat look real close behind him and you will find a moderate Republican trying to kiss his ass.
“Time to make getting Cheneyed a verb.”
Add it to the Freeper Lexicon.
“While Republicans show all the discipline of Lizzo on a diet, Nancy Pelosi kept her side of the aisle in line like a Marine drill instructor.”
If anything, Democrats got screwed. McCarthy worked with them. The next speaker might not.
