So now we know how many representatives are bought and paid for. You know why they liked McCarthy? Because he raised money for them. And how did he raise that money? By selling out you, your kids, and the future of this country. They lined their pockets while killing and maiming our brave military just so they can hang onto their seats.

These people are filth.

Did we really expect the Uniparty to roll over and play dead? At best they’re a cornered, wounded animal. At worst they’re still running all the controls. This is a multi-year process assuming we want something functional on the other side. It’s not as simple as going back to something that once existed. A whole generation needs to be educated and persuaded and as is human nature, that education won’t take hold without some pain and suffering. Our mettle is and will be tested. Keep an eye on the prize and hang tough.

Every political battle until the next election is a test to see who chooses to live the lie or confront it. We’ll know who to count on and who to discard by the next election. It’s a necessary part of the process to find and live truth.

—”Matt Gaetz is looking pretty stupid right about now.”

Looks like he received his end of the deal.

Gaetz is a snake in the grass.

“DOJ tells Matt Gaetz that he won’t be charged in sex trafficking probe, his lawyers say”

Nice of them to drop the charges against a Republican.

Cui bono?

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.

And you can't complain about the Gaetz 8, which YOU did, when McCarthy worked with Democrats to pass the debt ceiling bill and the CR, right?

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

Gaetz heroically tried to change the GOP leadership that is destroying our country, and he did it with nothing to loose and everything to gain.

You don't like that. I get it.

I am curious how your policies are any different than a democrat, that is what McCarthy represented. He did not release J6 footage, he did not control the budget and he was dragged kicking and screaming into investigated Biden.

I think anyone supporting McCarthy is in the wrong party.

Sorry but people are waking up to the fact people like him are managed opposition.

When you hatch a plan to remove the Speaker, it is advisable to have a Step 2 and not just go with Step 1 and hope for the best.

The expression “The Perfect is the Enemy of the Good” certainly applies to the House GOP caucus.

The defenestration of McCarthy (as imperfect as he was) has let loose a spiral of infighting that Republicans are unable to stop.

Cue the Pig-killer from Thunderdome: "plan? we ain't got no plan."

Gaetz was an idiot to push the button on his negotiated "declare the speaker position vacant" power. Seems like he did it just because the could. And as a result moved up Patty Murray in the succession scheme.

I am certain beyond any doubt that this "pro tem" scheme will be challenged by the Rats should the dementia-riddled pResident finally get 25th-ed and something happens to Heels Up.

What a Morton's Fork*! President Harris or President Murray. WTG Gaetz.

* A choice between two equally unpleasant alternatives

“Never go to battle without a winning plan.”

When your “team” want fight, you have to do something, even if it exposes the worst of the traitors.

All but 20. Doesn’t seem like a uniparty to me.

There were 20 in public, 50+ behind closed doors in conference.
