Quoted: And how much of that was due to the democrat propaganda machine? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: 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? Irrelevant. Dems own the media and too many stupid people believe what the media tells them to. Independent right wing media would blame the MAGA people for the Dems gaining power. No one in any significant media outlet would point out that Republicans had 2 years to prepare for this moment, and McCarthy had months to work with the hold outs (and that the ones refusing to vote for him gave him several months warning). They definitely wouldn't point out that RNC was too busy scamming them for money instead of building some sort of coalition. None of this matters tho, it will be long over by the next election and people won't care anymore. |

What matters now is if there are more than 20 votes for Donalds, or if a R or D breaks for the other party. Only thing at stake for the rest of this vote.

Trump's lunatic fringe has broken from him and has become its own uncontrollable beast.

I support this. The Republican establishment must understand that business as usual isn’t what the people want.

This shit show tells you everything you need to know, the party is hopeless and pathetic under its current leadership . Let's keep talking about Trump though

McCarthy will eventually be Speaker.
But he gonna learn today. The holdouts aren't requesting anything unreasonable - and "IT'S MY TURN" is not enough. |

They should demand he gets his shit out of the speakers office and fully restore his office. The “it’s her turn” was insulting when Hillary did it just as it’s insulting when he does it. What an ass.

This is coming down to a battle of vote your conscience vs. vote for the lesser of two evils.

Quoted: Trump's lunatic fringe has broken from him and has become its own uncontrollable beast. View Quote How dare people demand bills be read before being voted on. Those lunatics demanding that are crazy!!!! It is the Freedom Caucus not voting for McCarthy because he is not doing anything that they have asked for. The Freedom Caucus is pushing a rules change proposal that would require all legislation to go through committee and be public for more than 72 hours before being voted on. The group also is pushing for a ban on bills being tied together and passed en bloc. |

Did the leadership bring that up as a party issue before the election? Nope. Then it is not going to happen. They are dangling that out there to manipulate people after staying quiet about it when it really mattered. |

I called my Reps office in DC and they actually answered and spoke to me. I gave my opinion and asked he not support McCarthy.
Gus Bilirakis 202-225-5755 Everyone should be calling their reps office to make your voice heard. It may not have any effect but its the least you can do to be heard. |

I thought we all say they're all corrupt? And now those "freedom" guys want even less oversight on the government? |

So McCarthy wins the vote and they keep voting until he looses.
Wat am I missing here? |

Dems control the Senate, and FJB is not going to sign a bill firing 1 government employee. And if you think KM will threaten to shut the government over it, you're crazy. |
