Well wait a minute
I read a few thousand posting here about McCarthy being a Democrat plant and in the pocket of Biden and the Democrats.
So if he was doing everything Democrats wanted, why would they not have 4 of their dark dark blue district congresscritters vote for him and save their tool for future use? After all that way the GOP gets all the blame while the Dems get all the political goodies.
The public say that until giving up their favorite socialist goodie becomes an issue. They want “socialism lite” to work. It doesn’t, it just crashes slower then socialism major. Reagan didn’t do much to roll it back. He nibbled at the edges a little more then most. Congress wouldn’t have let him even if he tried harder.
Donald J. Trump for speaker!
Jordan time
“Let this sink into the Swamp for a few hours, particularly those at the RNC who think they can fund only Never Trumpers.
Let these political prostitutes who care about their “political careers” and will walk around with wetted fingers held aloft. Let them feel this new direction of the wind.
You will NOT advance legislation over the majority wishes of your own party. Do that and YOU ARE OUT. These Swamp creatures will learn that lesson. Government upheaval? So what? A calmly smoothly functioning government generates $33T in debt. There is no downside to upheaval.
“
Never said better. Thank you!
"part of a rule change after 9/11 to support the continuity of government, the speaker is required to deliver to the House clerk an ordered list of members who can act as speaker pro tempore in the event of a vacancy. The person at the top of McCarthy's list will serve as interim speaker..."
We have an interim speaker until a new one is elected.
Yeah I think that is a good idea. Not sure he wants the job but he is a good choice
Overconfident. He even challenged anyone to try to vote him out.
You guys both said the same empty sound bite.
Do you get talking points to spew?
Yep. Even die-hard Conservatives scream like banshees when their pet program is on the chopping block.
Tough day for Speaker Kevin.
At least he has Frank Luntz to go home to for comfort…
So there’s that.
"Speaker Paul Ryan is a truly good man, and while he will not be seeking re-election, he will leave a legacy of achievement that nobody can question." - Donald Trump
Personally, I would never vote for him, but Trump likes him.
That still doesn’t register with me in terms of the CR. It’s as if Mace has some principles, one of which is no tolerance for lies, but she doesn’t have any principles when it come to $2 Trillion budget deficits.
Is this a serious question? If the Democrats were trying to oust their speaker, wouldn’t you want all the Republicans trying to help them? Disarray on the other side is always a good thing.
“NOW, do what Dims do...GPut the most radical hard right nut we have in as speaker.”

All due respect, Suck it. Someone such as YOU describe woulda been considered moderate in the mid 80’s.
It’s what’s needed today.
Far past time to have a radical hard right nut!!!!!
That not how it works. Once a new Congress elects a Speaker, business continue under a Speaker Pro Tem until the Congress elects a new Speaker. So for now the acting Speaker is Patrrick Mchenry from NC.
It up to the new guy what happens next
Someone was behind it, who knows a lot about how the House works. I don't know who that was.
