McCarthy was Trump’s choice for speaker.

Just like the MSM and every Democrat, the NeverTrump crowd always has to try and brig him into the picture. No matter what.

Have to try and chip away at his support. Failing miserably every time.

You NeverTrump folks need help.

[Jane Long]

Wow….this could get good!!

[TakebackGOP]

If Kevin McCarthy is leaving, it’s only because he got a great job. He is going to be allowed to control the money in the PAC as a private citizen? That money is donated for representatives. I don’t think those wealthy people will want him having the control of the PAC.

“She said she didn’t know what I was talking about,”

Then she is a damned liar and should be told so to her face.

[Lakeside Granny]

Yup, Santos is pi$$ed!

Did you see him flounce out of the Capitol?

He isn’t going to go away quietly and he has the LSM ear already.

[Soul of the South]

“You NeverTrump folks need help.”

I simply stated a fact.

Somehow in your mind that makes me a “Never Trumper”.

Enjoy your fantasy.

105 House Republicans Voted with Democrats to Expel Representative George Santos, Final Vote 311-114

December 1, 2023 | Sundance | 240 Comments

Apparently 105 Republican members of Congress have decided that “due process” is no longer needed for anyone who stands accused.  Regardless of how you feel about New York Representative George Santos, the expulsion from Congress, without any judicial or court hearing, is a remarkable development.

The final vote was 311 for, with 114 against expulsion. Reps. Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.) and Al Green (D-Texas) voted “present,” and Reps. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) and Nikema Williams (D-Ga.) voted against the measure.

Santos becomes the first Republican ever expelled from Congress and only the sixth member in history to suffer such a fate.

A special election will be held in New York CD-03 to replace him.  The Republican House majority now sinks to four seats if all members are present.

Democrats rally around their accused with political ferocity.  However, the jellyfish Republicans can never elevate to see the bigger picture.  The big winner in this outcome are House Democrats who can now strategically use the small majority to defeat Republican legislation.

WASHINGTON DC – Top GOP lawmakers have a new problem on their hands: Rank and file Republicans frustrated with their leaders’ late-game opposition to expelling George Santos.

The New York Republican’s intra-party critics finally succeeded Friday in their push to expel their indicted colleague. They prevailed despite the opposition of all four top House Republican leaders, who lined up in the 24 hours before his ejection to say they would support keeping Santos in office.

Republican leaders also didn’t whip votes against Santos, arguing that his expulsion was a vote of conscience. In the end, their members split almost evenly — 105 voted to bounce him and 112 voted not to. But some who voted to expel took issue with their leaders’ decision to come out as opponents of expulsion at the last minute, warning that it risked looking like an attempt to tip the scales for Santos.

Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) said he was “very disappointed” with how GOP leaders handled the vote.

“Too many people, including leadership, were using excuses that simply cannot be successfully argued with everyday Americans,” Womack said in an interview. “Had leadership had its way, we would have reset the bar on standards of conduct at a level that we would live to regret.”

Womack, a respected senior appropriator, added that “I am thankful that there were enough thoughtful members of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, that recognize that there was only one course of action here.” (read more)

The Republican wing of the Uniparty are experts at losing while proclaiming they held on to their principles.

Santos deserved due process.  However, if you look at the litany of Republicans who voted against him, you will discover the same aligned names were with the Nancy Pelosi impeachment effort against Donald Trump.

And the republican donation mail I get everyday is still going in the garbage
…
Do what I do. Send the envelope back empty or with a kind note, somewhere along the lines of GFY. Then, they have to pay for the postage.

“Santos is not the hill to die on.”

Don’t be sucked into arguing on the terms chosen by the evil ones. Of course Santos is despicable, but there are many Dems still in office who have done worse. The real issue is the sabotage of the House majority by McCarthy and his RINO friends.

If you don’t understand that, are you “a bigger POS than he is?” I’m sure you are not, but it’s time to consider the big picture as they used to say.

[moovova]

Most Republican lawmakers are just democrats in sheep’s clothing.

[In_Iowa_not_from]

Most Republican lawmakers are just democrats from Republican voting areas.

[qaz123]

It’s true.

Everything negative has to be about Pres Trump.

Hers one for you…..no one else was running against McCarthy. No one. Other people were nominated. But no one else publicly announced running against McCarthy.

Pres Trump, knowing this and knowing that he could use McCarthy, supported him. Politics. Nothing more.

But folks always have to sling some sh*t against the wall. No matter what.

[Lakeside Granny]

It’s getting good......

George Santos is filling a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis for her stock trading.

Nicole Malliotakis bought New York Community Bancorp, $NYCB, on March 17.

24 hours later, $NYCB announced buying out Signature Bank.

The law of unintended consequences will come into effect. We are spiraling towards World War. Like the last one—it will change everything. Just as The second one got rid of the English Empire and French, the new one will rid us of the American Empire. This war we may not win. The rich, Hollywood, the radicals will survive under Chinese Occupation. There will be lots of work, cutting down forests, growing food for the world—to feed China and her allies, with starvation for the American People. Just read a history of Ireland.

The House and Senate pubbies sabotaged Trump’s presidency from the beginning. How we made progress with the supreme court is beyond me. Surly Mr. Bannon realizes pubbies in the House and Senate have been sabotaging this nation for decades. The folks in DC are not stupid, they are malevolent. The uniparty never stops working for the new world order.

[Nuc 1.1]

Sadly you are correct.

[Revel]

MTG’s too.

All that proves is that in the end we are mostly likely all screwed.

[Blue Highway]

Funny how some representative will lie straight to the face of their constituents. Primary the bitch.

We did in '22, but couldn't get quite enough votes.
