Nobody's going to make him a VP or put him in the cabinet.

Some people need hanging, and some need shooting.
Those RINOs. Trying with all their might to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
I realize that I’m not the first to note that it’s amazing that a theater has good enough cameras to catch Boebert making out in the dark, but the White House doesn’t know who brought in the coke.
if there is any move to expel Gaetz, we need to flood our representatives with notes telling them we will hold them PERSONALLY responsible, will never vote for them again, and will do everything in our power to get them defeated from now until we end their political careers.
Any Republican who votes for this might as well go to Ukraine, so it will be harder for us to track him down.
Collaborate with the Democrats.
I don't think that Gaetz collaborated with anyone; I believe the Democrats simply exploited the situation for their own agenda. Nancy Pelosi double-crossed McCarthy after assuring him that he could accept the demand for a motion to vacate because she told McCarthy "I'll always back you up."
To Boebert and any other Republicans working with Jeffries and Pelosi, ask yourselves: How can you trust the Democrats to honor agreements with you when they already reneged on their promise to McCarthy?
Some ancient history:
I'll have to add Joe Manchin to the list of suckers from Democrat deals.Schumer suckered McConnell into voting for the CHIPS act, and then suckered Manchin into voting for the Inflation Reduction Act, essentially rolling two birds with one stone.
Schumer reneging on his promise to McConnell to not use reconciliation for the Inflation Reduction act in exchange for passing the CHIPS bill is just the latest in a long history of Democrats breaking deals with Republicans after getting what they want.
It is absolute incompetence of McConnell to keep letting them get away with it.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said on Thursday that Senate Republicans got tricked into passing a semiconductor bill after believing that a Democrat reconciliation bill was dead.While Republicans were split on the merits of the legislation, most Republicans, including House Republican leadership, did not want to pass the CHIPS legislation if Democrats were to pursue a reconciliation bill to pass climate change, Obamacare, and other leftist priorities.
The same day that the Senate passed the CHIPS bill, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced a deal on the Inflation Reduction Act, a bill that would aim to reduce the deficit, raise taxes, and boost climate change and Obamacare spending.
Announcing the deal immediately after Senate Republicans backed the CHIPS bill left many GOP lawmakers with egg on their faces.
"We got our ass kicked. It’s just that simple. Looks to me like we got rinky-doo’d. That’s a Louisiana word for 'screwed.' And we got our ass kicked. That’s the way my people back home see it," Kennedy said...
McConnell also lost to Schumer on a debt ceiling fight in 2021, which led to a debt to temporarily create a carveout for the legislative filibuster. One former senior GOP aide said the deal was to save McConnell’s "ego."
Here's an oldie post of mine from 2009 on Harry Reid's history of reneging on promises:
...McConnell got Reid to agree to hold a high-profile debt-limit vote next month -- just before the president's State of the Union address...Specter suggests Reid reneged on word.
Newly-turned Democrat Arlen Specter today hinted that that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reneged on his word to allow Specter to keep his seniority on committees on which he sits. "Sen. Reid assured me that I would keep my committee assignments, and that I would have the same seniority as if I had been elected as a Democrat in 1980," Specter said in a written statement today.Reid Bows to Far Left as Rs Rank Judges Issue #1.
And they undoubtedly have the Rasmussen survey results in the back of their minds as they consider their reaction to Majority Leader Reid's broken promise to confirm three appeals court nominees before the Memorial Day recess, as well as Reid's sure-to-be-broken earlier promises to meet the historical average (17) for appeals court confirmations in a president's final two years. With just a couple of months left in the confirmation window, Reid is less than halfway to meeting that average.[snip]
"A good GOP Senate source reports today that Minority Leader Mitch McConnell addressed the entire Republican Conference -- about the judge-fight issue. McConnell is said to have been very insistent that he would not let Majority Leader Reid's broken promise go unpunished. He would not tell the Conference exactly what action he was planning, but he did say it would be very firm, and that all concerned would know it when we see it." --Quin Hillyer (5/21/08)

While Sen. Lott overcame numerous obstacles to get Paez and Berzon confirmed, Sen. Reid has looked for excuses to renege on his pledge.

GOP senators are understandably angry that Sen. Reid broke the golden rule of senatorial honor by reneging on his commitment.

Democrats Target Coburn's Holds
To ease passage of the public lands measure, Reid promised Coburn the chance to offer a limited number of amendments.Reid: No Vote On Lifting Drug Import Ban Before Health-Care BillBut after the majority leader objected to a Coburn proposal that would have eased restrictions on firearms in national parks, the package stalled for months, prompting Coburn to charge that Reid reneged on their agreement.
Coburn eventually got to offer four amendments -- all of which were defeated but not the guns measure.
Republicans accused U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., of reneging Tuesday on a pledge to allow a Senate vote on a measure lifting an import ban on pharmaceutical drugs before lawmakers take up health-care legislation.The development, supported by major drug makers, comes as the Senate is moving to craft the politically delicate compromises needed for the broader health care overhaul bill.
In a letter to a bipartisan group of senators that have been pushing for the import ban to be scrapped, Reid said there wouldn't be time in the busy legislative calendar for full consideration of legislation lifting the long-standing prohibition now.
"He did commit to us and obviously that commitment is not going to be kept," Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., said Tuesday evening.
Recently...
AFL-CIO Boss to Harry Reid: Go Nuclear
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.) accused Republicans of trying to "disable the administration by blocking the appointments, though he stopped short of saying campaign donations are directly attributable" for GOP opposition. Merkley received $1.2 million from labor groups since 2010, including more than $275,000 for his 2014 campaign.Now we can add Chuck Schumer to the list of Democrats who can successfully roll Mitch McConnell.Merkley defended President Obama's recess appointments while the Senate was in session because "functionally we were out of session." He also accused McConnell of violating a pair of "gentleman's agreements" to confirm President Obama's nominees without "obstruction" from the minority.
Obama and Reid reneged on a labor truce of their own when the Democrats re-nominated Block and Griffin to the board, according to a top Republican aide.
It looks like House Democrats are finally joining the rest of the party to sucker Republicans.

Hmmmmm...
Laura Loomer seems to have it in for BOTH MTG AND Boebert.
One begins to wonder...
OK, Lizard Cheney.
Speaker can stop any vote. AFAIK.
Methinks Jordan will turn out to be another DeceptiConservative™.
Hope I am wrong, but his latest appearances on cable TV news are not encouraging ...
Mittens is a Senator. This intrigue is at the other end of the Capitol building.
Jordan will slap this down.
They’ll likely bull rush it through while McCarthy’s hand picked interim McHenry is in.
Boebert seems like the first one to fart in a new relationship and then giggle about it
Nobody's going to make him a VP or put him in the cabinet.
Does this turn you on or are you just a smut merchant?
I know how deeply concerned you and the other establishment flunkies are at Saint Kevin the Turd being flushed. Matt Gaetz delivered what we’ve been expecting from our leadership for years. But I’ll leave you to gnash your teeth, Liz.
How come Boebert and Greene voted for McCarthy?
They’ve been co-opted..............
You can bet McConnell and Sleepy McDaniel are in the forefront of this movement.
