Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) urges his fellow Republicans in the House to get rid of the rule that allows a single member to file a motion to vacate the chair, saying it makes the speaker's job "near impossible." He also says he hopes the Senate will move forward with regular order on remaining appropriations bills ahead of the mid-November government funding deadline.

scaredy pants too afraid to face reality when being out of line, as he was as speaker and still is. God will set him straight one day.

Waiting for McConnell to freeze up and stand like a statue for the rest of time.

You mad Bro?
All McCarthy had to do was keep the promises he made to his own Conference.

Gaetz or “Mr. Buzzman” is now a RINO. Since he helped the Democrats plan to get rid of McCarthy (seen as a too far-right absolutist by the Dems).

As a spectacular Democrat-collaborator Gaetz has become, I don’t think he can ever dream of taking a position of importance again. He blew up the last bridge, no turning back possible now.

I have never seen such a blatant collaboration. A win-win for the Democrats.

This is the rule Pelosi eliminated for herself. The Freedom Caucus brought it back in their compromise to support RINO McCarthy.

It is a very valuable rule, that’s why RINO McConnell is sticking his nose into House business.

Yes bring it on. I bet there will still be Freepers not on board with that like the park clutches that are sad seeing RINO McCarthy get booted out.
