You and Pelosi having McCarthy’s back is probably a real comfort to McCarthy..

Maybe Trump should have spent a little more time helping elect MAGA candidates the past seven years and a lot less time selling bitcoin trinkets, etc.?

All this drama about Russia and China and how bad they are is about the US positioning itself on top of the world’s economic heap and maintaining economic domination of the planet for better or worse.

Of course, the worst choice out of the candidates. No wonder they went behind closed doors to "choose" him. He will be the next SOTH, count on it.

Gaetz will be forever shunned, possibly censured and no committees. We will get another John Boehner.

I’ve met him a couple of times.
Was listening to talk radio when he was on the air here as well...
He’s not a Willard Romney or a Chris Christie... but he’s not a Rand Paul or Jim Jordan either.
Definitely to the RIGHT of McCarthy... and from what I’ve heard... Tom doesn’t actually WANT the job of Speaker.

Are you kidding me? The guy who won’t uphold the safeguards our forefathers put into the constitution to assure each state will be treated equally is the nominee for speaker?
There had better be some no votes

Even McCarthy was better than this guy. He needs the Jordan treatment but I doubt this group has the stomach or the votes for it at this point.
Prepare for John Boehner 2.0.

You said it. I’ve checked out of politics right after Biden stole the election. I personally don’t care if Hillary Clinton becomes Speaker.
To: JSM_Liberty
This so pisses me off.
These idiots will never learn.

I don’t know how Emmer is in office, but the views he stated when he was a radio host was extremely libertarian and huge on cutting money.
I remember he once said “I hope they shit down the government. I hope they media is showing all if the starving grandma’s in TV then. That’s how little I care about the repercussions of shutting down government “

I don’t see democrats leaving their token. They are happy being able to accuse Republicans of being unable to lead. Emmer deserves to go down.

Got a link to prove this?
Since I remember when he was still here in the MN legislature, and his home here is on the other side of the County I LIVE in...
This is the first time I’ve heard this about him.

The best choice for Speaker, right up until the time the Republic is restored:

What makes you think Gaetz and company gave it any reasoned thought at all?

Mike Johnson was second. 20 votes. Maybe he has a slim chance if the Democrats all vote Hakeem and not present.

Gaetz just wanted some TV time and attention. He got that. He’s fine with the outcome, undoubtedly. Looks like he got himself a new girlfriend, to boot:
