Now-former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was stripped of his gavel on Tuesday afternoon via roll-call vote on Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-FL) motion to vacate the chair, pursuant to rules agreed to by McCarthy in order to clinch victory in his drawn-out race to become speaker in January.
By a vote of 216 to 210, the historic motion prevailed as presiding Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR) declared "the resolution is adopted...the office of Speaker of the House of the United States House of Representatives is hereby declared vacant."
The Republicans joining Gaetz in his motion to vacate were Reps. Biggs (AZ), Buck (CO), Burchett (TN), Crane (AZ), Good (VA), Mace (SC), Rosendale (MT

You are dreaming. There is no defense when logic, rules of evidence and fair play are suspended. Just like when they come for you in an alley with knives in hands. It’s might makes right not rule of law.
No one can defend against a story with no facts and a judge with an agenda. The absence of a day, month, year was so that Trump couldn’t prove he was elsewhere. They learned from the Kavanaugh case.
And they start implementing the ‘socialism lite’ they fled from! Look at Texas, New Hampshire, etc.
They flee the consequences of socialism, not the socialism itself. Few make the connection!
Of course, it’s not called socialism, it’s called something else community resource improvement. Something innocuous so
I think Pelosi might have voted “nay” today, if it weren't for Rat solidarity on damn near everything. Being out of town spared her from a tough decision. She certainly enjoys kicking the likes of the collegial McCarthy around.
Not a word you wrote makes any sense. Want to try again?
Somebody HAD to do something.. Our nation is under siege by some kind of "One world cabal", and it appears more then half of the DC lawyers thinks it's a good idea.
The lawyers are scraping off the cream from the top and shipping it off to the laundry known as Ukraine. And now the invaders are forming up into gangs and taking everything else that isn't nailed down.
The only thing the American people are going to have left is the dirt under their fingernails and bills to be pay... :(
No ...
Laughing at you. Yes, you personally. You're ridiculous.
One problem with this is that the military won't get paid without a budget. I wish we could arrange it so they'd get paid but the politicians and bureaucrats wouldn't.
Can you send me the link to those rules? Thanks.
He would not be on mine. What he did was necessary and I am glad he did it. I would not want him on my team for anything but a disruptive weapon kept in a fire box. I would never sleep well knowing he was on the loose.
She’s been a flake in the way on several occasions, and with the mouth of a heroine on others. What to think about counting on her has, so far, been a 50-50 risk.
She spoke at the fairly recent annual prayer breakfast and rather failed the theme. Instead, she launched her opening remarks with a paragraph on rolling over in bed to her amorous seeking Boyfriend, whom she tried to convince that she must not be late to the event,... explaining that was why she was late.🥴

MCCARTHY DID NOT KEEP HIS PROMISE TO FIRE THE IRS AGENTS ON DAY ONE AS HE SAID.
HE WEARS UKRAINE FLAG ON HIS LAPEL
HE COULD HAVE STOPPED THE FUNDING OF TRUMPS BS INDICTMENTS
PHUCKEM
So eight Republicans voted with every single Democrat. And that is a win? I’m in Tempe, AZ right now and there’s 6 inches of snow on the ground. Oops.....sorry. There isn’t any snow.
Where are the Jan 6 tapes?
Incorrect. Carlson (I assume that is whom you mean with your snide "Chatsworth" comments) was allowed to view a small subset of the videos, within a Capitol security room, and in a very time limited manner. Neither he nor his crew were allowed to remove them from the facility.
Pelosi like McCarthy are past their "use by" dates.
McCarthy broke the deal about single-subject spending deals.
McCarthy broke the deal about no bill coming up without 72 hours to review. Sending up bills without sufficient review is simply a crime. McCarthy had to go.
I’ve heard POTUS mock Paul Ryan on many occasions in many speeches, and never heard him pay respects to him, myself. Ryan’s name frequents many of POTUS Trump’s remarks as a poster boy for the Establishment. A KOCH pocket politician, never remotely interested in the border, but married into a wealthy democrat family.
Trump blames the FOX trend into neverTrump territory on Paul Ryan sitting on the FOX board for years now following his retirement and bigger money.
Trump charmed many enemies as he tried to put his administration together. He was held hostage by McConnell RINOS ti put Pious Pencce on his ticket, IMHO. YIKES!
I haven’t watched Fox in 20 years. They were bad before Paul Ryan.
What about every other person Trump picked? Np conservatives.
Unfortunately, this isn't out of the realm of possibility. McCarthy might vote for Jefferies out of pure revenge!
