Well, Crenshaw called the 19 "terrorists" already. So we are getting close to that laughable point in time!

For the good of the Republican Party and America the cheese-eating, surrender monkey McCarthy needs to withdraw his candidacy and step aside.

The Media are as much Shills as McCarthy.

You're right, it's not chaos, it's a show.

Yep.

Uniparty has plans and don’t want them thwarted.

They think they rule by divine right.

INMO. This is the best thing that ever happened in the House. Normally, they all roll over and let the feckless, leadership have their way with them

Exactly - hopefully some same similar things can happen in the Senate.

You are right the group “is getting concessions.”

And they appear, and I’ve seen some Reps say, that the concessions are very good. If the news hits the constituents of the 20, maybe they will be getting some phone calls.

I’m gonna remain neutral on that, but I’m glad you put it out there.

If any ten Republican congresscritters either don’t show up for a vote or vote present then the democrat will become Speaker.

It’s procedure.

Agree, it is.

That's a shame; I generally like Kilmead. But, oh well. I like the Republic more.

Note the “chaos” description. That is psychological manipulation.

exactly right

if the deep state script isn't followed, it's labeled chaos

ABC News Radio is appologizing for McCarthy every news break. Total propaganda operation against a Republicans having a different Speaker.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

Except when it comes to voting and then it’s fraud.

“If the deep state script isn’t followed, it’s labeled chaos “

Yes yes yes and yes.

This is one of the most important things to know.

The fact that 198 Republicans are holding fast for McCarthy tells you all you need to know about the swamp.

It's deep and has a powerful invisible visible whirlpool taking anything and everything within its influence, down to the depths.

Sure they would. Look how much attention this is garnering for the clown show. Look how enthralled everybody is. It’s reality TV. Soon your average republican will be begging for McCarthy, just so they don’t have to watch him die another day. Plus the 10% will have big time cred with maga folks, by doing nothing but stamping their feet.
