McCarthy certainly got no thanks from the Dems for the 45 day CR that went through, that they all voted for.

Yes.

There is something no one will tell you.

The House Passed a Debt Ceiling Limit Bill. The Senate did nothing. Biden did nothing - and went to the Beach. The House bill that was passed was trashed and ignored - and Kevin pushed Joe and Schumer’s plan rewarding them for doing nothing at all.

So what did the fiscal conservatives in the House learn from that?

Everyone but 8 wanted to keep McCarthy.

We don't know that.

What we do know is that at least 8 weren't afraid to say that they didn't want McCarthy.

I’m surprised it was only 8. Shame on those who voted to keep him, for they will forever be RINO’s in my view.

You just knew how media would frame this.

“McCarthy and his posse”

Yeah, objective journalism there.

You should have heard Newtie whine about this on Vanity.

I heard VDH also has his panties in a bunch over this.

*sob*.

Kinda as irresponsible as a governor who never had a chance choosing to prance around the country because someone told him to run for president and he is trying to grab the power when he cant even manage his state and he is alienating many who just re-elected him?

Oh and also he couldhave stopped thousands of illegals from entering his state but instead he lets them roam around commitiing crimes and just for sh’ts and giggles he ships some illegals to other states to make it seem he’s doing something, when really he’s harming Citizens of other states by doing so. Is that not a crime? Is that the sort of irresponsibility you mean?

Gaetz did the difficult correct thing.

Mccarthy was held accountable. We need more of it in all states on Fed and state level seat holders.

Clean house! Including the pool boy from FLA whos shown himself a liar too.

Liz Cheney is sooooo happy! She has been calling for his ouster. 8 pukes did her bidding 😃

Liz Cheney was calling lawmakers on behalf of Gaetz telling them to vote against McCarthy

“You mad Bro?”

Yep. We all should be. There is no plan, no leadership and no adults in the room. Just stupidity and chaos at a time when the GOP needs to get their crap together with the 2024 elections a year away.

I doubt the votes are there...

My question is, what happened to all the budget wrangling amongst Republicans that occurred in the Spring and Summer? FWIW, I believe 3 of the 12 Appropriations bills DID get passed by the House.

“So what did the fiscal conservatives in the House learn from that?”

With the exception of Rand Paul and a few others in both chambers, “Fiscal conservatives” are a myth. The GOP is just as guilty as the Democrats.

Re: 196 - I believe it also calls into question President Trump’s influence as head of the Republican Party. He exerts a lot of influence but Gaetz and the other Republicans who voted to remove McCarthy ignored Trump’s message about fighting amongst each other.

But there is no point in crafting and passing bills if backroom deals Veto them.

McCarthy’s MO is to meet with Biden and do backroom deals.
