Gaetz has long been my favorite Congressman, as my posting history shows, but it appears this was a bad mistake, for many reasons. The result will be the Democrats back in control, and more Omnibus bills as far as the eyes can see. Might take a couple years for that reality to take place, but it will I bet. Gaetz just destroyed whatever momentum the new Republican Congress had. And yes there was some momentum in our favor.

Question: When do we find out who is on the top of the pro-tem list to replace McCarthy until a permanent Speaker is voted in?

Evidently, this pro-tem list was created by McCarthy on becoming Speaker.

I don’t know how this works; but one would hope that Republicans would have a replacement with the votes ready BEFORE voting out the existing guy.

RFK would make a fine Speaker.

Or Sarah, or Kari, or Don Jr.

McCarthy would rather go down than say No to Joe.

How does Biden have control over Mitch, Lindsey, McCarthy, Scalise, and so many?

Please. If Pelosi gave the Republicans most of what they wanted as Speaker, she’d have been bounced out of the Speakership. Now that McCarthy has done the same for the Demonrats, he deserves the boot. It’s time for a NON-Derp State Conservative as Speaker.

Didn’t McCarthy a day or two ago tell Gaetz to bring it?

“Hey Kevin, he brought it!”

Republicans Good, Gaetz, Crane, Mace, Rosendale, Davidson, Spartz, Burchett, Biggs, Buck, and Corey Mills all voted to remove McCarthy. Will Jim Jordan be the next Speaker to unify the Republican Caucus?

You beat me to it. And if nothing else, this event will show to future historians that not every Republican was a toady to the Democrat agenda.
