Kevin McCarthy has been sensationally ousted as Speaker of the House in a historic vote sparked by a tumultuous civil war in the Republican party. A motion to vacate the speaker's chair was adopted 216 to 210, with eight Republicans joining Democrats to boot the House leader. McCarthy, R-Calif., became the first Speaker in the 234-year history of the United States Congress to be kicked out and have his gavel taken away by fellow lawmakers. McCarthy ally Rep. Patrick McHenry, chair of the Financial Services Committee, has been named as the interim Speaker, but now the GOP will launch a marathon bid to pick a successor while in turmoil. The House is now in recess while Republicans decide on their next move to elect a leader.

“Go ahead and try” — McCarthy
He must have thought the Democrats he caved to would save him. They tossed him aside like a used tissue.
On 9/11, the target of that flight that went down in PA supposedly was the Capitol building. I wonder where we’d be now if that had happened.
NO! Not Scalise.
You sound possessed. Call an exorcist. 👹
welp, yet another establishment gopey ‘young gun’ misfires.
let’s see, that’s, cantor, ryan, and now mcgiggolo. good riddens, to them all.
you just never understood the tea party did you Trump?
Rep Biggs!
It is-I should’ve left out the sarcasm.
Apologies to all.
I do think we are near the end with a return to normalcy coming sooner not later.
Everything going on is indicative to me that we are nearing a climactic end.
This stuff is mostly unimaginable and is congruent with bubbles bursting, manias blowing up etc......
Although, the post was grave-I’m extremely optimistic-just can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel yet.
“In the meantime, impeachment grinds to a halt. Nothing is being done to reduce spending. The border remains wide open with NOTHING being done to close it.”
So like when McCarthy was Speaker ?
Mccarthy learned from Paul Ryan
The dopes on Fox think this is the worst possible thing for the Republicans. Including Victor Davis Hansen. They’re wrong because McCarthy lied, is a backstabber and he would readily compromise with Democrats but fought conservatives at every turn. KM had his chance.
Draft Trump as Speaker.
Call your Congress person and demand Trump be speaker.
Anyone voting against Trump should be primaried.
Can you imaging the pushback of Trump demanding these
State and county AG and DA appear before congress and Jordan
and Comer?
Trump wrote the Art of the deal, he can bring the deficit
down. DJT is against wars with no upside for USA.
It’s a start.
Sounds like you are a nevertrumper.
How has that worked out for the Republic? Accepting he lesser of two evils never makes anything better, just more evil because lesser become greater each time you accept it.
Any freeper shocked that Kevin lied and betrayed us, is a fool. I am shocked that he was unseated but he certainly deserved it. Reagan was fool for accepting Kennedy's word that after that one little amnesty that would be the end of it. half a loaf indeed.
Love it!
The GOP is no longer a coherent party.
+1 000 000
The Left now controls every single institution across the entire West, and the “conservative” parties in every country are still going with the “half a loaf” BS.
Reagan was the vehicle they used to start it, his coatails were very wide.
As it should. He is a disgrace and so are his supporters.
was it called a big tent?
