GAETZ: "DECLARING THE OFFICE OF THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES VACANT."
He has filed his motion to vacate.

Adapt, improvise, overcome. Think outside the box. Figure it out.
No, not at all. But yelling there was election cheating does not get people any closer to fairer and more honest elections, does it?
Pelosi always had the votes.
McCarthy doesn’t. He’s in charge of keeping up the two party charade.
That means no cuts (at least McCarthy’s failed CR had 8% cuts) and instead we maintain 2 more years of crazy accelerated spending, and... a functionally open border continues.
While I generally take cries of “the country has had it!” with a large grain of salt, the above might just do it...
Didn’t Trump support McCarthy?
Or a low percentage are my way or the highway group thinkers.
It seems that you shall we see think highly of yourself
Separate the RINOs from the MAGA elephants.
“ The vast majority of those 221 districts sends people to DC who are relatively moderate. Gaetz cares about Gaetz. That’s it.”
You’re saying Gaetz represents those districts, not his own.
Your argument makes no sense.
What?
Please define “Conservative Principles”.
John Phillips’ provides some interesting back story today on the Gaetz challenge to McCarthy. It’s worth a listen.

Republicans don’t need to win.
They, as a whole, are part of the problem. Which a lot of the clowns here seem to fail to understand. Years of r good, D bad have rotted critical thought from the populace. Combined with moderate squishes Orielly and hannity masquerading as conservative.
Republicans are split into two wings. One wing hates us, the other is “maga”
What has McCarthy done that would be an opposition to the railroading the dems have been doing for the last 20 years?
He just caved and gave them all they want. Only time recently a GOP leader did something against the Dems wishes was the Garland appointment to SCOTUS. Only reason I believe Mitch did that was he figured they killed Scalia.
Only thing R’s lose, afaik, is chair appointments, which the house freedom caucus had to force McCarthy to give them spots. Thats what the 15 ballots were about.
Kevin hasn’t kept any of his other promises, while Matt said he was going to do exactly this if Kevin didn’t do what he said.
“We” don’t have the house either.
You, being a moderate sucker, affiliate with those in charge. Therefore you do have it. Rest of us in realsville understand that Kevin doesn’t like us, and works against us.
No clue why you’re even here. Rino squishes used to not be welcome here.
Most of us here don’t have any power anywhere.
I hate to break it to you, but you are not the gatekeeper for who is a rino and who is not. You are the only person around here who cares about your opinion on who has the Conservative bona fides and who does not. The absolute hubris to think that YOU hold the keys to the Conservative castle is just the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. I’ve been here 14 YEARS longer than you. Spare me your absolute nonsense opinion. I don’t care.
Donald trump, for all his positives, is not, by definition, conservative.
He is a populist.
Once you wrap your smushy brain around that idea, stuff makes sense.
If you hate trump so much, why are you defending his boy Kevin?
He called mtg and got them to vote for Kevin. You forget that?
I disagree with a lot of what DJT has done and said, but I still prefer him over the Mitch McCarthy crew of bending to the dems at any given turn.
Are you a woman or a leftist? Why on earth would you say what I am doing is "yelling"?
I am stating the fact that there was cheating and yes, acknowledging that fact is the first step to fixing it.
I’m not either.
My apologies.
There was cheating. Enough to affect the outcome? That case was not successfully made.
So, what specific legislation has been offered to reduce election and voting fraud? Not talked about , but offered up as a bill in a Statehouse?
The only thing that we can do is to make them cheat even harder this time and make it even more obvious to everyone that they are an evil, corrupt regime.
This can only end in either revolution or complete and total domination by the state.
There are no other possible outcomes at this point.
I say if they choose to be evil, force them to be REAL evil.
Don’t let them do it in half measures so they can tell themselves that what they are doing isn’t so bad.
