It has gotten so awful that election nights terrify me.

Are you seriously pretending that Cheney and the those the voted out McCarthy had/have the same reasons for opposing him, are you?

Liz would have loved this:

WASHINGTON — Congress and the rest of Washington buzzed Monday over the question of whether President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy cut a secret deal that could protect future aid for Ukraine as part of an agreement to avoid a government shutdown over the weekend.

WyMAN! will come out in droves to punish conservatives for interfering with the sacred right of abortion.

Yes. And the Democrats get the advantage because the White House is at stake. But maybe we'll take the Senate if we're a little lucky because the map is favorable. But it should be a red wave instead.

Those shoes alone are grounds for vacating the Chair. Maybe he thinks he is Justin Trudeau.

Gaetz push to out McCarthy with ZERO follow up plan, is the most irresponsible political move I have ever seen.

Translation: This Zeeper is upset because McCarthy was ousted before he could implement his secret deal with Joe Biden to continue to fund the failed proxy war in Ukraine.

No, but he or she actually has to want the job and then muster 218 votes somehow to get it.

Joe went to the Beach and turned it all over to Kevin.


Like Mitch, he was going to do whatever Joe Biden told him.

Personally, I think it's more likely the Democrats will take the House in 2024.

They can take it in 2023 if Mister Gaetz keeps at it.

Certainly on their minds as they voted 100% with uber-fool Gaetz.

100%!

You got to admit that would be a dream move for the Dems.

Vote to fire McCarthy today. Vote to elect him Speaker. Have Gatez move to vacate again, vote to fire him again. They could keep it going until the next Congress

His speech right now is the biggest guilt-tripping bull crap.

Yep, nothing happens in DC without it being scripted out first.

Will this curtail our Ukraine involvement in any way, shape or form? I ask honestly...what are the plusses of McCarthy being gone?
