House Republicans make history by decapitating themselves. Now what?

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.

Poor Eddie.

Is this dog catching car a talking point sent out from Rino central?

Seems to be.

Seminar caller stuff.

If that's what ends up happening, Gaetz and the buffoons backing his tantrum deserve every last ounce of the anger and contempt they will get. The next Speaker better be more conservative than McCarthy - and we already established 8 months ago that no more conservative alternative was there. Whatever - it's Gaetz's problem. That putz blew it up, it's on him to put it back together better than it was before.

Lame words from a loser. Because business as usual is awesome! I’m happy 8 congressmen stood against the uniparty.

Good.

That's pretty good. I've only heard that analogy 50 times today.

Gaetz, who my posting history shows has been my favorite Congressman for years, just fell on his sword in historic proportions.

He needs to learn smart smack does not a victory make.

I think you pick someone from Texas. You do that because the Republicans will always need Texas. Pick someone from there, make peace with each other and do what is right for America.

No. They simply have to get all the Republicans on board. I wonder what Mace's game is?

[workerbee]

Gee, all you need now is a “But _______ can win!” declaration. *ppsh* Buffoon, heal thyself.

[SoConPubbie]

Notice how almost all of the DeSanctimonious Online Influencers are taking it out on Gaetz!?

Curious Pattern!

100%

[Round Earther]

Obstructionist Democrats got their way.

[Timber Rattler]

So what's the plan moving forward, ace?

Who replaces McCarthy and how do you get enough votes to overcome both the Democrats and the 210 House Republicans Gaetz just burned?

Ah, one of the buffoons has something to say. As expected, it's stupid. STFU.

[circlecity]

Please show me how McCarthy was any better than Pelosi?

[Paladin2]

RINOS have a “Come to Jesus Moment”?

Do they repent or not?
