What percentage of the population are extreme leftists, LGBTPQ+, hedge fund managers, or dual citizens? And yet they always get their way, every time. Why does the argument for moderation always stop the Right in it's tracks while the Left goes full steam ahead on issues supported by single digit percentages of the population?

I would disagree with your assessment of a corrupt government and I don't care about Nancy Pelosi, other than thinking this was a rather low handed stunt.

And this would be different back when McCarthy was Speaker - HOW, exactly?

Really? Because Republicans currently control SCOTUS, Ds have never been more unpopular, Rs are on the winning side of a host of issues (family, trans, woke), Rs have never been more trusted to handle the economy since '91 and are in the catbird seat going into 2024.

Perfect. It's time to move the ball.

That was in retaliation for Nancy not coming to McCarthy's rescue.  He honestly thought she would come through for him.

Enhanced the accuracy of your screed 87%.

Is it your estimation that 96% of the GOP is doing a bang up job?

Trump Advisers: He Didn't Back Gaetz Effort

You're saying stuff that was refuted pages ago.

How would you fix things?

Don't know if this article has been posted yet, but it's a brief rundown on the 8 villains/heroes who helped oust McCarthy: NewsMax LINK

If you find your attack vote allied with the group of people who previously had successfully voted to impeach a sitting President on known-false charges, simply because they didn't like him, you should probably reconsider if you really are "one of the good guys", and just whose side you are on.

JMHO

Frankly, I am sickened by what I am reading here.
Posters that claimed to support conservative principals.
Posters that claimed to want the swamp drained.
Posters that claimed to want action not words.

Are now condemning Matt Gaetz for doing all three of the above.
It is obvious that the progressive's fifth column is alive and well in GD.

Fix?

LOL, no.

We are needing to rebuild. In order to rebuild, you haver to demolish what you have.

As an observer I've noticed that, when polls are conducted, the vast majority of people here are on the right side. Something like 87% of respondents here support Gaetz. Don't get discouraged by a handful of vociferous posters.

Wreckers and saboteurs must be rooted out, comrades! Only then will the revolution succeed!

Ol' Vladimir Illyich would see a lot he recognized in the arc of the American right over the last decade.

The vitriol exhibited in this thread is representative of the current Republican party.

We are eating our own while the Dem's sit on the sideline dining on popcorn and watch this shitshow.

I have no idea what/if this party looks like in 10 years. It's quite an embarrassment.

God Bless Matt Gaetz!!!

A Republican that FINALLY DID SOMETHING!!!!

Here's to hoping he keeps up the good work and keeps taking out the trash!!!!!!!!!!!  

Fucking with Rhinos is not traitorous activity it is obedience to God.

The only embarrassment are all the the so called "conservative" "Republicans" that have lost their way, their spine and their balls.


This was good oust, and will hopefully steer the party back in the right direction, which is obeying the Constitution and serving We The People.

This post needs a like button, hey wait....  

I am not a Gaetz fanboi and I am not sure ousting McCarthy was a good idea tactically speaking.   However, I have to ask what exactly does "standing firm" to back someone (McCarthy) that doesn't even believe in the things you espouse to be important and in fact actively undermines that agenda gets you?

Maybe, just maybe, the entire house of cards that is our government is at a breaking point and needs to fall apart. I'm not an anarchist and I don't want to burn down the entire system. But we're facing a crisis larger than just this event today. The crisis is our government as a whole works off the faith of the people. The people have no faith in it anymore. Our government is an authoritarian juggernaut that beats the people into submission. All while the members of government loot and fleece the people. And this is on both sides of the political aisle.

The pandemic showed lawmakers and officials on both sides of the aisle living it up, while the people were scraping by, dealing with edicts and orders that restricted their rights. You had a lawmaker that literally was a vegetable being pushed around in wheelchair, voting on matters of importance that have tremendous repercussions on everyday Americans.

The younger generations are tired of it, both the Left and Right. They're tired of a social elite who never faces any real consequences for their actions. People who never have to worry about having to not pay a credit-card bill so their kids can eat and have power in their homes or even simply have a roof over their heads.

That's why the Democrats is becoming more and more socialist. The younger generation has started to take over the Democrats. But the Republicans have become the party of the retiree and I see it daily.

Younger Constitutionalists, many veterans of the GWOT, are cast aside by the GOP. The vast majority of GOP members that have power within the party are folks who should be retired and in nursing homes. Not dictating party policy based on ideals held in the late 1960s.

I've literally had Republicans tell me in my face, that Florida never should have Constitutional Carry because they grew up on a turpentine farm and their Father was an overseer of Black laborers and the idea of said laborers being armed scared them.

Meanwhile, younger members of the party are told to sit down and shut-up. "It isn't their time" yet to shape party policy because they haven't put in the time and effort. Yet these younger folks are combat vets and they put in their time serving the country, all while the ones holding power were draft dodgers or of the age that skipped Vietnam just by a hair. Telling younger people to sit down and shut-up since it isn't their time is wrong.

Again, the Conservative Movement is a joke and is mostly made up of 80s and 90s era Democrats who live in Republican districts. As the Overton Window further shifts leftward, so does the Republican Party and its push to conserve the status quo. What what pray tell has the GOP done on a national level? Have they reduced the scope and scale of government? Have they restored and expanded our civil rights and liberties? Have they reduced the tax burden on "we the people?" Have they even followed their own party planks?

No, they haven't. All they've done is fleece the public and the public is tired of it. They're tired of being taken advantage of and bent over and fucked. They're tired of seeing a political class that is lives care-free and suffers no consequences for their actions. They're tired of being promised time after time, and those promises being broken time after time.

People are tried of it.

You have Conservatives spending political capital to prevent Democrats from destroying memorials to dead slave owning Democrats that seceded from the Union. What you don't have Conservatives do is actually follow their own party plank. They don't reduce the scope and scale of government nor do they actually restore and expand out civil rights.

As the Overton Window continues to shift further leftward, the Conservatives will continue to defend the status quo.

Again, the GOP is dead at this point, the body just doesn't know it yet.

Ah, finally a pertinent question.


Welcome      

Just two weeks, trust the process.

This was Mccarthys fault.  He knew what the freedom caucus wanted when he took their votes.

Tea party people have had enough of getting stepped on and stepped over buy country club rnc that delivers nothing.

I’ve thought through this as my rep is one of the eight. I would have less respect for him if he backed off his convictions and voted for the status quo just because the dems wanted to cause chaos. I’ve known him long enough to know that his belief system hasn’t changed and he would have stood on the island on principle regardless if anyone stood with him or not. That being said it’s easier to be a pariah when you’re in one of the reddest areas in the country.

Point of order sir, not trying to be combative but California has had (and still has) plenty of people (both in and out of .gov) absolutely responsible for trying to fuck shit up for decades so you might not want to be so quick to assign blame to any other states when voicing your opinion.

This is a perfect way to describe GD.

"SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING. TREE OF LIBERTY BLOOD WATERING."

...someone does something...

"OMG TRAITOR. HOW DARE THEY?! EVERYONE SHOULD GO ALONG WITH THE THING"

Who is a POS?

I want to add the hmm, you are right meme but can't find it now lol.

If Jim Jordan becomes speaker, I think that will likely be an upgrade. McCarthy didn't seem to be able to shed his RINO skin.

The most vocal ones seem to have a commonality. They all felt a disturbance in the force. T’was like a billion dollars in Ukraine funding cried out in terror and then disappeared.

Wow.

What happened to freedom of speech, goes away with a different opinion?

Gotcha.

I don't hate McCarthy but he did break his promises to do clean budget bills and give everyone 72 hours to read bills.

Lol the shit you write is in direct contradiction to what happened .

I agree with the highlighted . But the first thing McCarthy did was work with the dems to prevent a gov shut down. Sure it’s “just “ a CR but why kick the can down the road. Shut it down now.

Not only did he prevent a shutdown by working across the dems he included provisions to continue funding Ukraine which he said was a hardline no.

It’s a microcosm of the party. It’s been hijacked and railroaded by uniparty RINOS.

Everyone wants to be a conservative until it’s time to do conservative shit.

Sticking together is a great tactic when everyone is jumping off a cliff.

I just want More WAR so i can die in nuclear hellfire.

You don't have freedom of speech on a privately owned forum. There are limits as to what you can say here. The CoC gives general guidance to those limits and if necessary, mods and staff can focus in tighter as to whether or not any particular post violates those limits.

^^^^

Very well said. I may steal this.
