Haven't see a thread for this yet, so I figured "why not?" Have at it folks and Happy New Year.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If you want more of the McTurtle same, vote for the Micks.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Maybe move this to breaking news?

[SGCOS]

mccarthy is a democrat-lite. He sure is popular with the transgender folks, since he has no balls.

..and a trump hater. we all lose if mccarthy becomes speaker

[Red Badger]

This will be a short thread..................😜

[linMcHlp]

Jim Jordan for Speaker

[\/\/ayne]

[House Atreides]

OK, but ONLY if he is constrained by many ENFORCEABLE agreement items by which he can be held accountable to THE BASE.

[C210N]

The chatter on Telegram yesterday predicts McCarthy loses the first vote, and that a heretofore unknown will be second on the also-failing second vote.

That unknown is a non-congresscritter, coming from ‘outside’.

[The Louiswu]

This should be funny...it'll be like watching a slice of bologna thrown against the wall and watching it slowly slip off only to reveal the same nasty bologna stained wall underneath...nothing is going to change, our country will continue it's slow slide until it just plops, lifeless on the floor.

But Hey, HAPPY 2023!!!

[WMarshal]

I hope that McCarthy gets the boot. He is a devious squish.

[Baldwin77]

But THIS time, he really, really, really means to keep all of those promises !

[kenmcg]

Jim Jordan would be a tremendous speaker!

[Golden Eagle]

It’ll be McCarthy, especially as he has Trump’s support, which I don’t think he deserves.

The only question is who will he concede committee and rule power to, to get the final votes - hardline Republicans or “moderate” Democrats.

[twister881]

Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy called themselves the “Young Guns” when they arrived in Congress, but they turned out to be garden variety Uniparty RINOs. The voters bounced Cantor, and Ryan left to enrich himself & try to tear down Donald Trump. Only McCarthy remains, and he deserves to be defeated for House Speaker.

Surely there’s someone in the Republican caucus who has fewer enemies than McCarthy has.

There, did I say that the nice way?

[Robert DeLong]

As Scott Perry says: We've worked in good faith for months to change the status quo. At nearly every turn, we've been sidelined or resisted by McCarthy, and any perceived progress has been vague or contained loopholes that further amplified concerns as to the sincerity of the promises being made.

Kevin sounds like he's a snake in the grass kind of RINO to me.

[Georgia Girl 2]

If you liked Paul Ryno you will love Kevin McCarthy.

[Preachin']

I think McCarthy wants this bad enough that he’d be willing to make some agreements with the true conservatives in the House. There’s just too much power at stake for him to not bend a little.

Ho ho

Kevin the ho has to go !!!
