We want to make damn sure we don’t end up with a self-serving, anti-American hypocrite like Nancy Pelosi as speaker.”

And they look like a bunch of 🤡s

They can get rid of him later, if 5 ask for a ‘no confidence’ vote.

Your gonna get more 🤡s if this keeps up, and very possibly Jefferies, who is only 6 votes short will become Speaker.

“...and very possibly Jefferies, who is only six votes short, will become Speaker.”

So which Republicans do you see switching their vote to Jefferies? Don’t use scare tactics. Name the Republican that will vote for a Democrat Speaker. Otherwise, your threat is empty.

It’s never the wrong time to do the right thing.

You might like having a RINO surrender monkey in charge of the House and that’s your prerogative. If the conservatives can force McCarthy to commit to a GOP-first agenda...for real...I’m all for it. The only clowns will be the people who fall for the “I really, really promise” BS McCarthy is selling.

Two weeks from now everybody will have forgotten this is taking place.

That just means they get a no confidence vote, not that they succeed in actually removing him.

No republican will vote for Jeffries. And with only 202 votes, at least 11 Dems will have to vote present for McCarthy to get his 10%.

Has McCarthy agreed to re-instate the option to move to vacate the chair? As far as I know, if he did not agree to that, we’re stuck with him for the next 2 years.

Oh please. If five of them call for a "no confidence vote", they vote, and he stays in the position because the vote goes 200-20 again.

Or, maybe they do actually get a majority voting to remove him, what then? Is he actually kicked out, or is it like another article mentioned, where he then agrees to resign the position. What happens when he simply doesn't resign?

And you know what happens if this keeps up and we get even more smiley faces? We just might end up with a speaker who's worth something, instead of the next lead RINO on the list.
