I’d love it if they did get Trump in. The left would seriously stroke out. Especially because they all got vaxxed, then this...

Need the Pelosi equivalent on the Repuke side. If you have power you have to be willing wield it! Did she care that they weren’t going to get a conviction before impeaching? She shouldnt give Trump 3b for a border wall and the government shutdown as a result. Repukes were buckling before anyone else. Lemons...Lemonade and all that.

Accountability is an incredibly powerful thing.

This might be the first instance of accountability in D.C. in decades.

Well, now that McCarthy isn’t part of the equation (assuming), then that should lead the way to a consensus, eventually.

I wonder if McCarthy will attempt to put his name in the hat for the next round...

Insanity, there is no other word.

Consider that 8 Republicans voted with absolutely every Democrat on the floor for removal.

Gaetz needs a brain scan.

Well, I'm hearing a lot of talk about GOP "infighting."
All I can say is that if the GOP fought the Democrat/Communists as hard as they fight among themselves we wouldn't have these problems!

Not anymore. Trump is the number 1 enemy.

God bless Gaetz and those who voted to get rid of Swamp Master Kev for standing up for the American taxpayers!

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?

Jim Jordan. See above.

Well McHenry is likely no better but Kevin lied and he needs to go.

Well they did it and America has a new birth of freedom. Let Gaetz take the wheel there is much undoing to do.

After Tucker Carlson got the video of the Shaman dude who was in prison for his reported actions on January 6th, he was released. How many Americans are sitting prison because McCarthy won’t release video footage that could reverse their convictions? I really thought he would actually take to heart how hard it was to ascend to the seat and he would at least try to be conservative, I guess he just doesn’t have the ability.

I wonder what happens next.

Yes I know McCarthy was too liberal for people here on Free Republic. But , will the next guy be an improvement?

Steve Scalise maybe is next? I like Jim Jordan, but he has often said he has no interest in being speaker.

Stay tuned......
