I love the dysfunction that has been exposed and shows the need for revolutionary change.
Enough trying to pretend like we are voting to ‘conserve’ anything.
It’s not working.
Let it all rot until the real revolt begins.
Brought to you by Geatz the snake in the grass.”
Gaetz is a hero. Kevin was exposed as cuck collaborator. Hakeem will not be speaker.
They've become addicted to the out of control deficit spending and opportunity for kickbacks and retiring "upwards" into multi-million dollar K-Street sinecures.
Agree. To those who call us naive and political morons for saying so and a guarantee that such a move would advance democrat rule, I say “so what”? How would that be different than what the GOPe gives us today?
And to those who disagree, please enlighten us as to the value of today’s Republican party. How exactly is the country better off because it exists? And please, give some fact-based anwers, not more of your ad-hominem attacks based on your opinion.
A point about the evil that Matt Gaetz did.
If the conference wanted McCarthy, they could have all voted for him in these various votes since his removal.
It didn’t happen. Whether he wanted the job or not. In fact, in each round of voting, he’s gotten a few votes. Why didn’t he get 200+?
Because the conference didn’t want him. So Gaetz did nothing wrong.
No, there doesn’t have to be an alternative. The world hasn’t ended because there is no Speaker.
The republican party has been infiltrated. Dis-function is the step before being turned completely evil.
Bttt
Democrats do not want the Republicans and they do not need the Republicans any longer to keep up the pretense of "Our Democracy"(tm). For that matter, the show is in its' last season. It is about to be cancelled and replaced by a new "reality" show. I hear it is provisionally called "World War 3".
Republicans are too stupid to notice the change. They still believe they can keep their phony baloney jobs.
The "rules" are shifting underneath all our feet.
I like your way of thinking. This needs to happen soon.
HAVE HOUSE MEMBERS FINALLY REALIZED THE PATH OF SUCCESSION IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO PRES & VP???
Fox News lying again. The deep state does not want republicans to have power to stop the multi trillion dollar money laundering system. They want to stop the impeachment and the exposing of deep state traitors.
Here are the Republicans who voted against Jordan in the third speaker ballot:
Rep. Don Bacon, of Nebraska, voted for Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry, of North Carolina.
Rep. Vern Buchanan, of Florida, voted for Rep. Byron Donalds, of Florida.
Rep. Ken Buck, of Colorado, voted for Rep. Tom Emmer, of Minnesota.
Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRamer, voted for McHenry.
Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, of New York, voted for former Rep. Lee Zeldin.
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, of Florida, voted for Rep. Steve Scalise, of Louisiana.
Rep. Jake Ellzey, of Texas, voted for Rep. Mike Garcia, of California.
Rep. Drew Ferguson, of Georgia, voted for Scalise.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, of Pennsylvania, voted for McHenry.
Rep. Andrew Garbarino, of New York, voted for Zeldin.
Rep. Carlos Giménez, of Florida, voted for Rep. Kevin McCarthy, of California.
Rep. Tony Gonzales, of Texas, voted for Scalise.
Rep. Kay Granger, of Texas, voted for Scalise.
Rep. John James, of Michigan, voted for Donalds.
Rep. Thomas Kean, of New Jersey, voted for McCarthy.
Rep. Mike Kelly, of California, voted for Scalise.
Rep. Jennifer Kiggans, of Virginia, voted for McHenry.
Rep. Nick LaLota, of New York, voted for Zeldin.
Rep. Michael Lawler, of New York, voted for McHenry.
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, of Iowa, voted for McHenry.
Rep. Marcus Molinaro, of New York, voted for Zeldin.
Rep. John Rutherford, of Florida, voted for Scalise.
Rep. Michael Simpson, of Idaho, voted for Scalise.
Rep. Pete Stauber, of Minnesota, voted for Rep. Bruce Westerman, of Arkansas.
Rep. Steve Womack, of Arkansas, voted for Scalise.
Rep. Derrick Van Orden, of New Jersey, was absent.
I can't vote for someone else (none are in my district), but I can continue to deny the GOP any donations.
I think we're heading into an one party state. Biden in '24, Newsom in '28 and '32. Newsom will replace the Conservatives on the SCOTUS during his administration. And that'll be the end of the American Republic.
Likely the Second Amendment will be "grandfathered". They'll allow MAGA nation to own firearms for the time being. But they'll make it that it'll be difficult for Gen Z to own them. Just like that, you have a totalitarian nation.
Well said.
If they change the voting rules that whoever gets the maximum votes on the floor becomes speaker then people like Gaetz will have no where to hide.
The current requirement of 217 votes is one of the main reason behind the stalemate in the process.
“Let it all rot until the real revolt begins.”
I’ve been waiting for it, for years.
Where did the 217 come from, anyway? Did the House impose that on themselves?
