McCarthy is doing the best he can with one of the slimmest Republican majorities in history thanks in large part to the collective mess Ronna, Trump,and good ole Mitch made of the mid-terms,

You are right, McCarthy has a slim margin. However, he is the ONLY person in congress with the true ability to make a stand and tell everyone the party is over and its time to clean up.
All of us (me too) love to talk about China, Russia, and other boogers that might somehow pose a military threat to our nation when the biggest threat we face to our security is DEBT.
I had high hopes for Kevin and realized he was in a difficult spot but he DID pledge to try and fix the budget process and here we are again.... kick the can and piss on my children.
This is generational theft, it is a HUGE tax on every working American with the poor affected the worst, and it will absolutely destroy our nation.
Stop spending money!!!!!! Regardless of liking McCarthy he is not cleaning up the budget process or getting congress back to clean spending bills. Without that, everything else is just fodder for the talking heads and pundit class even as the destination remains the same.
This was the reason the battle over the speakership was waged. I am seeing a lot of “personality” stuff with Gaetz and maybe its valid, but all it does is hide what is important nor does it address Matt’s complaint (see backtrack by Maria B last week).

McCarthy is doing the bidding of the Uniparty. He has not even attempted to use the constitutional powers of the U.S. House of Representatives to check the Bidet Regime. The House has the power of the purse for a reason, and that power isn't being used to close the border, or put an end to the U.S. Postal Service facilitating stolen elections through mass mail in ballot fraud. The House also has the power to subpoena materials about voting fraud in the "swing" states that were stolen from Trump in 2020, or other seats stolen from MAGA candidates like Kari Lake, hold hearings, etc. The obvious conclusion is that McCarthy likes to lose to cheating. He also has been reluctant to bring a vote in the entire House on any impeachment inquiries. There is no reason to retain him as Speaker, since he is just a "squeaker". Let Gaetz now bring his motion to vacate so we can see who the other losers are in the GOP caucus, and how many Dems will help McCarthy try to retain the chair.
