Matt Gaetz is looking pretty stupid right about now. He should have had a plan in place with the votes necessary to install Jordan before triggering the motion to vacate McCarthy.

Nonsense.

You can't whip 218 votes AGAINST a sitting speaker while that speaker is in power. The plan was to vacate McCarthy and then whip up the vote and try to win. Gaetz lost absolutely nothing trying.

McHenry = McCarthy. They are both part of the establishment uniparty. We are simply back to where we were before Gaetz heroically tried to change the GOP leadership that is destroying our country.

You can't vacate the speakership with 8 Republicans voting with all the Democrats, then complain when 20 Republicans work with all the Democrats to essentially elect a new Speaker.

Gaetz performed a "Ready, Fire, Aim" and missed.

“Nonsense.

Exactly right.

“McHenry = McCarthy. They are both part of the establishment uniparty. We are simply back to where we were before Gaetz heroically tried to change the GOP leadership that is destroying our country.”

The Ghosts of Bush and McCain have won their New World Order and perpetual war. Our Republic is now officially gone. The Democrat Global Communist agenda and the Establishment Republican New World order agenda are one and the same. The power of the people has been destroyed. We are now nothing more than a financial source to fund globalism and war.
