Then what? Are you planning on never voting again? Starting a new party? What’s the resolve?

We’re not outnumbered, they simply control the right positions.

McCarthy was a terrible pick for speaker.

So how'd that happen?

Trump fully backs McCarthy’s speaker bid in urgent post: ‘VOTE FOR KEVIN’

Only done if Joe Stolen actually signs it. There is no veto-proof majority in the Senate to override a veto. The removal of the suspension of the student load debt may be just enough to trigger this response from the erratic and obstinate Oval Orifice occupant.

Start all over from scratch, or face the consequences of failure to pay out obligations. “Full faith and credit of the US Government” rings a little hollow now.

Gonna be one hell of a toboggan ride, with plenty of trees to dodge and drop offs on the way.

Can a toboggan really crash and burn?

Endorsing kevin for speaker is not maga. Endorsing Rinos is not Maga. DJT is feeding the swamp,assisting the swamp and I cannot understand why. makes me wonder if he’s a main star in some larger then usual Kabuki going on.


Trump just doesn’t care all that much about political policy. Conservative policy in particular. Politics is just another reality show he can star in.

After pre-emptively surrendering on spending in the lame duck Congress, too. It’s obvious the people we elect hate us and want us dead.

“Trump endorsed McCarthy for Speaker”

And the Republicans voted him in. And the Rpublicans will keep him in, just like the Republicans keep McConnell.

What is your point?

I think maybe it is infighting to support Desantis?

Remember, we now have multiple candidates.

Go Trump 😎

I agree 100%.

My concern is that a President Trump who faces no electorate will be cutting deals so he is "loved" by all....and that includes deals to protect abortion and ban assault weapons....just two things he said he would do.

McCarthy is just a congressional figurehead for a completely failed GOPe political party, one of two wings that make up the uniparty. The rats got more votes than the fake republicans on the debt ceiling vote says it all and this is only beginning.

Am entertained by the Trump/DeSantis dust-ups as they both fight to be head of this corrupt organization. Both of these men need to realize that there is a fair chance that the house/senate may be in dem control after the election, and between votes and corruption that we may be looking at a President Harris as Jao Xiden is not gonna last another 6 years.

And what about the accusation by asshole Clyburn who said the Republicans wanted to purposely destroy the economy for the 2024 election?

It will all be forgotten, filthy stinking communist pricks. All this time, the GOP were giving the Rats everything they wanted, and more.

Now when the banking system collapses, it will be blamed on the Republicans for raising the debt ceiling.

It’s time for trump to take the loss on McCarthy and support his removal as speaker.

Won’t happen. But it’s time.
