So you hate freedom and love masks, clot shots, and lockdowns. Good for you.

How?

Well, I believe the ransom package included a provision where one member can call for a vote of no confidence in the Speaker.

That means that the threat of having to go this all over again next month is a reality if the speaker reneges

“How? Strongly worded criticisms?”

No-confidence vote. Back down to one. If the party doesn’t do something, well, you know who you are not voting for in the next election cycle. That’s the process. It sucks big time, but unless the citizens choose to effectuate change by different means, this is all we have to work with.

Is this now the never-Trump web site?

Congrats to Trump, who got his man McCarthy in the Speaker’s podium.

America as we knew it is forever gone.
Hang on to those memories.

The USA is ever changing just like the rest of the world.
Nothing new about that. Live you allotted time as best
you can. Take care and have a good day.

Seems like Trump was in charge.

Later we will find out or figure out why he backed McCarthy.

Nothing short of a Convention of States will bring about any meaningful reforms. That will take another generation or two.

You and I know it’ll never happen. We’ll see a Convention of States to create a Constitutional Amendment protecting burglary before we see one bringing about any conservative reform: morally, fiscally, nationally, or socially.
