And if the quarterback tells his recievers to go long and he'll get the ball to them, all the while pitching the ball to the nearest Alabama lineman and then thwarting attempts to tackle the guy, maybe that quarterback needs to be taken off the field.
We have the evil party and the stupid party. They are two wings of the Uniparty. I have no love for McCarthy but when I see a circular firing squad forming I don’t look for a good outcome.
There is little hope for this country in the near term. I feel it must be broken to pieces to be reformed. The normal, usual state of humanity is hungry slavery under a tyrants boot. Coming soon to a former republic near you.
I'm trying to be open-minded and willing to listen to all sides. What accomplishments is Newt referring to? There must be some? I don't see any changes or improvements on the major issues facing this nation - bloated spending of Fed.gov, weaponized courts and bureaucracy, corrupt DOJ, invasion of the Southern border, war in Ukraine. All continue apace.
but I'm willing to listen.
Newt Gingrich is supporting the ousted surrender monkey and globalist RINOs.
I suppose he’s just trying to stay relevant with the media rather than America First.
Kind of pitiful.
This is a really good point.
If the Bulldogs were driving down the field IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, I would hope that four of the members of the offensive squad would tackle their own teammate.
Shutup Newt .. seriously.
Did I hear correctly that, way back shen, that McCarthy was a “neverTrumper”?
Newt, go sit on the couch with Nancy you patriot. /smirk
Newt’s analogy was worse than stupid.
Traitors, my ass.
He’s out in left field on this, like when he sat on the sofa with Pelosi.
In 8 months, McCarthy;
Refused to release the January 6 tapes except a very few to Tucker.
Refused to lift a finger to stop the illegitimate activities of Trump.
Lives with a homosexual.
Gave Carte Blanche to Ukraine.
Gave Biden his “inflation reduction” porkulous bill that removed all spending caps through the end of 2025.
Then flipped the finger to the Freedom caucus and colluded with the Democrats to give the Biden government all it wanted.
Despite massive evidence of a systematic Bribery operation and that he sexually abused his daughter in the shower, he refuses to impeach him and works against such efforts.
Newt, when someone betrays you this much, there MUST be consequences or this crap will never end.
I cannot think of of a thing McCarthy has done for us.
This doesn't mean a victory imo. Democrats are always 20 steps ahead of republicans in terms of strategy. There's always an agenda.
Gaetz was absolutely right but he has few allies in the House and I believe things are going to get ugly for him from the despicable republican party.
Remember, McCarthy was ousted by the votes of all Democrats. They were unanimous, as they always are,
They were joined by few Reps.
This is great success of Hakim Jeffries, AOC and Nancy Pelosi.
Split the Republicans, so they cannot do anything!
McCarthy did great job, navigating small majority in the house (with wide spectrum of Republicans), hostile press, president and senate.
I am not sure anybody else can do it!
So, we are be back with Rats running the country for as far as I can see.
Globalism won!!!
Those few RINO’s who voted against the speaker are traitors!
Yes, Goetz and company are the true RINOs! They just proved it.
Newtie can ESAD on this.
Traitors to the Uniparty, not the citizens.
The Republicans did nothing.
♦ In 2012, the professional Republicans campaigned on retaining the House and asked to begin a process of taking down the Democrat control of the Senate. Remember, it was a 60/40 Senate when the Obamacare boondoggle was begun. Keep the House, help us take Senate seats, and we will repeal Obamacare and balance the budget. That was the call of the 2012 professional Republicans. The voters delivered. The GOPe kept the house, took 6 seats in the Senate and introduced a wave of fresh Republican blood.
The Republicans did nothing.
♦ In the 2014 midterm election, the professional Republicans campaigned on retaining the House and now flipping the Senate with more GOP seats. Keep the House, give us the Senate majority, and we will repeal Obamacare and deliver a balanced budget. The voters again delivered. Beginning in January 2015, the Republicans controlled the House and the Senate majorities for Obama’s last two years.
The Republicans did nothing.
Worse still, even with professional Republican control of both chambers of congress, President Obama never had to use his veto pen.
♦ In the 2016 election, after the professional Republicans could no longer stop/block candidate Donald Trump, they said if we get the White House, retain the House and retain the Senate, we will repeal Obamacare, return to regular budgetary order, and balance the budget. Stunningly, against all the odds, the voters yet again delivered. President Trump won the election; Republicans now held the White House, the House and the Senate – as requested.
The Republicans did nothing.
Worse still, the professional Republicans acted as if they were the dog that just caught the car. Now they had no excuses, and as a result there was an exodus of retirements announced from the caucus of the professionally Republican to begin in 2018.
Simultaneously, the professional Republicans passively allowed the targeting of Donald Trump by a fully weaponized intelligence apparatus and justice system to commence. To say the professionally Republican were willfully blind would be polite and generously honest.
In the background the RNC did nothing. The California ballot harvesting operation of 2018 reflected a complete lack of action by the RNC or CA GOP. We all well remember how that operation expanded nationwide in 2020, again with the RNC doing nothing.
This is the reality of what took place between the elections of 2010 and 2020. Every ask of the professionally rRpublican apparatus was delivered by voters. Every ask of the voters in return was ignored. Effective January 2021, Obamacare still exists, no budget was ever produced, the borders were unsecured, the economy tanked due to Biden policy, energy and printing presses. Crises, along with insufferable government mandates, amplified and expanded from coast to coast.
The Green New Deal was passed by Republicans and Democrats, and the collapse of the economy came with it.
Suddenly, as if there was no background of repeated broken promises and a complete failure to deliver on any key request, Kevin McCarthy and his legion of professionally Republican supporters pretend they cannot fathom why the base voters are more than happy to support Matt Gaetz.
McCarthy was too willing to compromise with the left, too often. He forgot that compromising with bad policy is like adding sewage to your drinking water. And where were the spending cuts he advocated?
Gaetz a traitor? Or the guy standing in front of the tank in Tiananmen Square?
However one answers that question exemplifies why we are so divided and why the answer is so consequential.
