Any “republican” that is supported and/or favored by “The Hill” is NOT a republican.....

The media is declaring these folks to be far right.

But they aren’t demanding anything right wing at all.

They are demanding upheaval. Upheaval is anti-establishment, and as far back as the 1970s and 1980s, anti-establishment was far left.

Another waste of time.

The best thing that could happen is for Congress to accomplish nothing.

Unless you're a welfare queen who wants more free stuff.

Is that you?

One upheaval is to understand the Constitution to be a living document in need of woke interpretation.

The other upheaval wants to remove the un-Constitutional Swamp.

The 20 need to hold their ground. Major changes need to be made. If not now, when?

“Constituent services” = government pork/handouts in exchange for campaign contributions

Perhaps when there is a mandate? These 20 are not convincing anyone. They know their careers are over, I guess they just figure, “What the hell.”

They stop getting paid tomorrow. No benefits.

Watch the deals get made over the weekend.

“They know their careers are over”

Maybe they believe that saving America is more important than their own individual careers. It’s been done before.

Maybe their careers are just starting.

Because they actually believe in something

Who wants to see McCarthy as Speaker? He’s already been outed as having made outrageously destructive promises and deals with the dimmocommies, already showing his true swamp colors. I don’t see Gaetz as seasoned enough. The idea of Trump as Speaker sounds like an answered prayer. He has the experience and gumption to sort out the economic MESS Potatohead has made of our once thriving economy and he has the intestinal fortitude to deal with the border problem. It would also keep him too busy for dumb things like trading cards, although I must say, I heard they completely sold out.

Rutherford is my CongressCritter, and, former Sheriff or not, so far, I am not impressed with his performance.

He should be supporting DJT for Speaker!

“I understand the reasoning of those esteemed colleagues who are voting against me. The United States House of Representatives has been in disarray since it has been in Democrat control. I would like to bring in a new era, where the conservative side of our party has a chair at the table and is no longer disregarded. I respect the right of every representative to vote their conscience, but I can assure my friends they will have a voice in congressional actions and committees and will no longer be marginalized as the Democrats are no longer in control. As we vote for speaker, I would ask that you join me in putting forth the agenda of the American people, not that of a few elite leftists. Thank you.”

What Kevin McCarthy should say.
