The Constitution they swear to is in writing. And yet… here we are.

It’s only been exactly that way for 100 years until Pelosi changed it

McCarthy is backed into a corner. Compromised and weakened, he may not be the right person now.

Doesn’t matter about a border bill. The house already gave away the reappropriation power for the entire year because of Mitch McConnell‘s 1.7 trillion deal. And they can pass all the bills they want, and Biden will veto them. Meaningless theater at this point. What does matter is that McCarthy took money from FTX bitcoin scam to defeat conservative candidates. So it doesn’t matter what McCarthy promises he has to go.

A deal is NOT done. When confidences are betrayed and leaks are directed, it’s even more difficult to trust. Totally unsat. I will not yield to the status quo.

The longer he drags his feet cutting a deal the more momentum shifts to him stepping away.

If he took money to defeat conservative candidates he needs to do more than step down. Evil beyond description. Par for the course for a homosexual.

Is that what he said when the clerk told him, ‘You are not recorded’?

Scott Perry barely made the vote as he was doing a Fox intvw. Several conservative members came out trying to get him to vote in time. He ran into the chamber and voted for Donalds.

Looking good. Now, do immigration restrictions and good funding of conservative candidates in competitive general races, and I’m there.

A scene: McCarthy critics pleading with Rep. Perry to go vote, that he’s missing his vote on the floor. “You’ve got to vote!” they whisper. Perry hears them but stays on Fox News. One member even asked FNC camera guy to do something. Perry then finished hit and ran back to floor.

Then allow me to quote the specific enumeration from the Consitution.

Article I, Section 5, Clause 2: Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.

And so your plan is to not seat a House Member who runs for more than 3 terms, even if they won an election?

Yep, everyone, including the so-called ‘holdouts’, knew this from the beginning. Think there’s going to be 60 votes in the Senate to pass anything useful? Think Biden is going to sign this stuff into law? Zero chance.

Gaetz is a pedo game show host and Bobblebert is a retard. On the flip side, Crenshaw is a bitter, bile-filled warmonger and McCarthy is just a straight up pawn for lobbyists.

THIS is the "best and the brightest"? Franklin said "...a Republic, if you can keep it." Well with these clowns we surely cannot.
