See post # 215. Evidently I’m not as articulate as Rush was.

Well, the explanation given for the drop was better employment numbers.

In our upside-down world, more people employed is terrible for the stock market.

How does that happen, with Democrats controlling 216 votes and the Republican Caucus in total meltdown?

Well my opinion on this was a gut reaction just because I know what it would do to the left.

However I see Trump’s point. If he’s speaker, then we get over 1 year of media about how Trump is the obstacle to all the great tnings Biden and the dems want to do.

They can just spend all their time on the news saying how Trump is screwing everything up, so the media would have 13 months of campaigning for Joe/against Trump.

So yes, level headedly, I would not be for it either. They cant blame Trump for anything right now.

Yes!

McCarthy evidently thought his personal road to success was to succeed as a partner of Biden.

People forget Biden is viewed very differently in Congress than by the public.

Draft Trump to replace McCarthy.

It’s a tiny R majority. Tee tiny. Gaetz may be right on the principle, but he is wrong on the timing.

Most obviously because, he doesn’t have a plan on what to do next. He threw the grenade, it went off, but now EVERYTHING is on fire. All Gaetz can say for himself is the House is full of terrorists.

Well, maybe some are, but not all of them. He has less than 10 out of over 200 Republicans standing with him, and all 200+ of those Republicans aren’t evil traitors.

He did good on getting concessions when McCarthy became Speaker, but exploding everything after just a few more months, when progress was being made in the right direction, is ridiculous.

And he’s been my favorite until now. This just looks like a major screw up.

If you consider eight Republicans and 208 Democrats voting with Gaetz to evict McCarthy, it wasn’t exactly a Republican majority vote.

Whoops! Clear evidence I read the headline only. Doesn’t matter who runs the Congress anymore. Mooch is going to be President and the shadow government will come out of the shadows to rename itself National Socialist Party...Weimar at its collapse pre-Hitler.

I’d put Trump forward just to expose the RINO’s

Well when you don’t invest and don’t have money for a good life I can see where you wouldn’t care.

I worked hard for mine and hate to see it going to hell at the same pace the country is.

McCarthy is a rino dick, everyone else in Congress are useless POS just like the Biden administration... Congress is why we’re in the mess we’re in.

I deal in reality.

How does Biden have control over Mitch, Lindsey, McCarthy, Scalise, and so many?

They are being told we have things on you you dont want out there so be a good boy and behave

Why do you think Epstein worked for the FBI and had an island paradise for these fools

“What’s with all the Freeper RINOs.”

FR is totally infested with paid biden trolls pretending to be anything but ... the bulk of these trolls have been attacking trump and promoting desantis, though they’ll probably switch to supporting haley if she is ahead of desantis in the polls ... several of these trolls have also been actively supporting mccarthy as well ...
