It is not a win for America if we don’t elect a Speaker. Once we have a Speaker, we can start hearings on the Biden family and Mr. 10%. The Democrats spent two years holding hearings to destroy Trump. There is some pretty strong evidence tgat Biden and his fa,ily have violated federal laws. Congress should be investigating this ASAP.

The last thing we need is six years of an unchecked Biden administration.

Do you really think that oversight hearings are going to achieve anything?

While "i don't know", "i can't recall", "I'll need to get back to you on that", "I can't comment on an active investigation", etc and lying are acceptable answers with no consequences then committee hearings are a farce.

Nothing can be voted on without a Speaker. Every time I can remember the government being shutdown, the voters have taken it out on the Republicans and voted for Democrats. I for one would like to see fewer democrats in Congress.

And how much of that was due to the democrat propaganda machine?

I didn't read the entire thread but has anyone mentioned that the next speaker of the house could very potentially end up POTUS if FJB keels over and the Whore gets "removed" for "reasons"?

I wonder if this has something to do with the hold outs that won't fall in with the party line ....  things that make you go hmmm

Marjorie Taylor Green said she’s now behind McCarthy and on Bannon’s War Room said that Gaetz, Bobert and Perry had a closed door meeting with McCarthy demanding committee positions. So tomorrow expect them to vote for McCarthy.

MTG said she wants to move foreword, take the win and start the investigations.

The three mentioned above, according to texts she read only care about the positioning and the hold out was a sham for the positions.

Mind you these four are all a part of the freedom caucus.

Lol.

So much for him reconsidering his endorsement. Trump says McCarthy will do a good job, maybe a great job? Going after the Biden Administration sure isn't part of that.

I hate to say it but, it kinda looks like President Trump is realizing the horses pulling the MAGA wagon (us) are breaking from his reigns and running free, actually wanting the swamp drained.

He probably listens to Bannon’s War Room podcast.

In fact I don’t think any of the podcasts I listen to like McCarthy. He’s probably thinking “Uh Oh, wait a minute guys”.

As far as I can tell, the only people supporting McCarthy are the people in the House that want or even care about committee positions, not about the country.

Trump didn't start MAGA, he borrowed it.

MAGA was here before Trump and God willing it will be here after he's gone.

Trump is, and always has been, very quid-pro-quo.  He backs, endorses or promotes people with the expectation that they will owe him and will reciprocate when he needs it.  Someone with no power, no authority - nothing to give him he doesn't already have - is of little use to him, no matter their value to the country or party.

"Discrete" means separate and specific things in this case, as opposed to some vague and nebulous assurances that never materialize.

"Discreet" means "on the down-low"

This is a brilliant move on the Dems' part. Although a coalition government is very unlikely, it extends a branch to McCarthy to see how desperate he is. If he takes it (and all the Republicans in his favor don't bolt), he and the Republicans will have sold their souls to the Democrats.

This offer is also a great na-na-na-boo-boo to the Republicans, shaming them in how fractured they are.

McCarthy needs the dissenters to get anything passed in the House. This vote for Speaker is a prime example. They are showing him. McCarthy ain't retaliating against anyone without a huge risk.
