“term limits”

I vote for a R rather than a D almost always.

Agreed. I remember the Contract with America when several House Members who said they would not serve for more than 8? years broke that promise.

That’s their call, but the reasons they gave were laughable.

Mirros what Gaetz was saying yesterday:

"We offered Kevin McCarthy terms last evening that he rejected," said Gaetz. "We’ve sought a vote in a first quarter of the 118th Congress on term limits. He refused. We wanted a budget from the Republican Study Committee that balances on the floor in the first quarter. He refused. We wanted the border plan that the Texas delegation put together on the floor. He refused."

There’s choices in between Skull and Bones Yale graduates and a Daisy Duke GED chick.

I wouldnt even trust him to keep his word.

His word means nothing. His past actions (or lack thereof) say everything.

.
The McCarthy / Paul Ryan movement is a movement that supports Mitch McConnell working and taking direction from Biden.

The plan was to tell the Rubes what they want to hear and then be the House Mitch.

It’s not even hard to figure out.

I am not sure if you are complimenting her because she has a a GED or insulting her.

(People who actually EARN a GED by passing a TEST are every bit as capable if not more capable than those who obtain an “attendance diploma” from a sub-par high school.)

However, your characterization “tits with a gun” is very demeaning to women.

As a woman, I could care less about her bra size. She is an America first conservative with views that I and many other Freepers value.

Crass crass crass. Shame on you!

Isn't that the prevailing standard governing operating principle of the swamp. I mean, why have elections if not only nothing changes, but the leaders do not want it to change?

Uniparty. Yuck.

“She has a GED. This is what many FReepers want for our side.
Tits with a gun.”

And by the way, this sounds exactly like my stepdaughter, cute blonde who likes guns and has a G.E.D. She’s also been deaf since she was 6 months old.

She makes about 90k a year at age 46 and is in line for a big promotion to the national level of leadership in her trucking company where she is a safety engineer.

Don’t sell a G.E.D. short.

Keep revealing what they asked for, and what he rejected!!

This perfectly defines him as a deep state swamp dweller.

When some of the 201 start to tear away, you will know his days are numbered

From what I'm piecing together from the coverage, this is really hinging on the demand that a single member be allowed to motion to vacate the Speaker's chair. McCarthy seems to be clinging to the minimum of five members to call a vacate vote.

McCarthy supporters are calling this demand tyranny. They are saying that it gives any single member the power to throw the chamber into chaos.

Conservatives like Byron Donalds argues that this was the rule for a hundred years before Pelosi removed it when she took over after John Boehner was removed via the vacate motion. Donalds asks "why do we want to continue operating under Pelosi's rules?"

Donalds also says that the rule was only used twice when it was in place, so why should a Speaker who is effectively working within his caucus worry about that rule? He also argues that it is the right of each member of the House to question the ability of the Speaker to continue to lead.

So there we are. I think this is the hill that McCarthy is willing to die on, the Motion to Vacate the Chair. He's afraid of his caucus, and he doesn't want them to have the power to call for his removal if he reverts to establishment norms after winning.
