“We’ve all seen this movie before, and we’re not interested in another showing.”

Yep...
Ditto that

[tennmountainman]

Or Pence lol

Think that was the time he was banging Renee Elmers.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again - and flame away all you want, cultists.

TRUMP WAS AND IS JUST ANOTHER PART OF THE SHOW!!! We have been played, bigly.

Go back and watch his times with the WWE. Stop believing in parties and platforms. It is ALL about fundraising.

Bread and circuses requires both good guys and bad guys to pull off the show. Wake the f_ck up.

Like dealing with out of control spending and regulations we can deal with it at a later date.

I vote we deal with it now.

[cableguymn]

I don’t know who can get the votes to win. But so far it looks like no one can.

Trump is just about done. Free America needs a new leader and don’t say DeSantis. We need a leader that will lead a revolution.

[Major Matt Mason]

Trump of all people should know that the RINOs are a bunch of snakes. They refuse to let go of their iron grip on the party despite the fact that they have shown themselves to be incompetent/corrupt. McCarthy will ignore conservatives once he gets the speakership, so make him sweat.

[MayflowerMadam]

Yes. What you said. He’s alienating the most MAGA — his staunch patriotic supporters, and he’s supporting the guy who said Trump should be in jail for Jan. 6.

What is WRONG with him?

[HamiltonJay]

If McCarthy was given the agreement to get the votes that has been reported, and rejected it, then he’s got no one to blame but himself.

I have no idea if that reported offer really happened, but given how arrogant this guy has acted, even moving into the office before the formal vote happened... then I would say odds more than 50/50 that the offer was indeed made and he rejected it.

If this guy can’t get votes to be speaker, how can he run it once he is?

Things that make you go hmm
Indeed.

“I think it is a dangerous game, and, frankly, if they are not happy with him, they can do something about it at a later date,” Trump told Fox News Digital in an interview.

The only problem with that scenario is the damage the man can do until that "later date" arrives.
I don't want him as Speaker either. I've seen the damage he's already done in office.

[philman_36]

It's possible POTUS45 is fearful of a McCarthy-Democrat coalition that would eliminate any (slim) chance of conservative initiatives over the next two years.

House - R
Senate - D

Legislative stalemate. Little gets passed.
More Post Offices will get renamed. (Woo hoo, I passed a bill!) LOL
Bright side - More time to investigate matters.

All good for me.
JMO, YMMV

[philman_36]

Oops, sorry about that...Post Offices will get renamed

[Palio di Siena]

I think it’s got something to do with J6
