Democracy is messy, I do hope they take the time here to come up with a real leader, who can lead and exercise the authority of the majority, the power of the purse, and accomplished something other than appease Biden.

Now let see who is on his list to be Speaker Pro Tem. This is getting hilarious.

In the distance the faint sound of cheering is heard from the basement of the DC jail.

GOOD! FINALLY doing something besides putting up with RINOs and liars and assistant democrats. Get rid of Mitch, too.

I’m just eating popcorn waiting to see how it all plays out, I really don’t care one way or the other, we’re beyond the point of no return anyway. So I might as well just try to be amused, as Elvis Costello would say.

“Never underestimate our ability to f$&k ourselves.”

And what exactly has McCarthy done to retain his speakership?

What are his specific results? Where is the January 6th footage we were promised? I thought McCarthy agreed to no more continuing resolutions? Still funding Jack Smith and AG Garland and their endless witch hunts? So how has he protected our Southern border? Have we been able to audit the Ukraine funds sent?

Good riddance to that Deep State functionary.

Next!

Don’t see any Dem getting voted in, as this same tactic would be used against them, so in reality, who will gather enough support to be the new Speaker...

Jim Jordan comes to mind. He gave a speech to keep McCarthy as Speaker so he doesn't appear to be disloyal. Remember a good leader gets the job done and keeps the group together. McCarthy failed that test.

Patrick McHenry (20th): 90.3 (composite score), 90 (economic), 83 (social), 84 (foreign), last 2 are troubling

.
McCarthy started out by snubbing Trump festivities and instead attending Biden Inauguration Parties.

Subsequent to that, he let Biden got to the Beach while he did his bidding on the Debt Ceiling deal, where Joe got every single thing he wanted.

Now, I’m the latest deal, McCarthy simply did as Joe told him. It was Joe’s idea to separate the Ukraine funding and allow the Conservatives to believe there would be none, but that deal leaked.

McCarthy is a Mitch clone.

Patrick McHenry. See above. He wasn't happy to now have the job.

Scalise was first on the list but he’s fighting cancer right now.

OK, so Gaetz got McCarthy out - what’s the alternative? It better be someone more strong on conservative principles than McCarthy, otherwise Gaetz is a clown. Does he have someone lined up or not?

If the goal is to explode liberal heads, then I humbly submit that there’s no one better for Speaker of the House than Sarah Heath Palin.
