Arrogant SOB.....Banish him to a vacant janitors closet in the basement

* House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy failed in a third vote to secure enough votes to be elected Speaker, throwing the party into into uncertainty.
* After the first ballot resulted in votes for several Republicans, the latest round saw McCarthy’s opponents coalesce around a new contender: Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, a longtime McCarthy ally.
* It is the first time in 100 years that the majority party has failed to coalesce around a candidate for Speaker, and it was uncertain what McCarthy’s next steps would be.

Saw Biggs on Bannon few weeks back. I didn’t expect him to be impressive but i was quite wrong. I was surprised how strong and seasoned he is.
Mike Adams, who is a very bright insider, predicted recently McCarthy would go down while revealing it’s all about himself. Mike, whose intellect and integrity I admire greatly, says it will be Scalise.
And Mike is not connected in any way with Steve Scalise.
Doing the same thing and expecting different results = insanity.
GOPe in a nutshell.

Um no,they would be laughing if McCarthy becomes speaker.
If the Democrats didn't support McCarthy, they wouldn't have saved him from further embarrassment by agreeing to a recess.
The Democrats know what most Republicans didn't until just before Christmas, like McConnell (and most of the GOP leadership), McCarthy is a crypto-Democrat.
The Democrats have always been the party of government, every State's capital and D.C. vote 90%+ Democrat, reflecting the politics of State and Federal Government workers.
Thanks for posting.. my cynical self is calling this kabuki… a flicker of optimism.. can’t they both lose? Chip Roy, or stay home.
We won’t end up with a democrat speaker unless a bunch of GOP members vote for a democrat or only vote present making the required # lower. Has to by 50% + 1.
But yes McCarthy needs to step down...we need to start tagging that on social media.
#StepDownMcCarthy
“At this rate, Jordan will be elected speaker in 198 more rounds.”
And he may still not even vote for himself. LOL
McCarthy affirmed, per Rep Lauren Bohbert, that they’d be stripped of committee assignments, if they didn’t vote for McCarthy-Luntz.
He said, per Lauren, Your district votes for you, the Conference votes for your committee assignments.
What a smug tool, he is.
Ah yes. The sunny side of things. 😂👍
I heard one of the newbie congress critters today saying that the GOP renegades keep moving the goal posts. They agree to something one day, and change their demands the next day. Not good, if true.
100% agree. This is a good thing, and not a crisis.
What?? When did you quit dating AOC?? /s lol

100% agree. Conservatives are not lockstep ideologues.
Her and scarf lady went out the door all in the same week.
Why ask something so dumb. Of course gym Jordan would be the one I’d pick.
Jim made a speech a couple hours ago...told those damn 19 to vote for McCarthy. Apparently the 19 are getting their jollies with their vote. They’re illogical.
