Noice. At least someone is saying it.

The democrats kicked him out with Gaetz’s help.

“The final vote was 216-210 in favor of a motion to "vacate the chair." Eight Republicans, led by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, joined ALL DEMOCRATS present in voting against McCarthy.”

If you wear the colors of a foreign country.......you can go fuck yourself !

"Republicans" are like a bunch of battered wives. They complain about the beating but when it comes time to press charges they "love him and just want him to stop beating them". And then he beats them some more.

McCarthy is a RINO first class, he lied and refused to fulfill promises he made to get the Speakership. Fuck him and everyone like him.

If your state sent something that wasn't actually a democrat to senate perhaps you wouldn't have this little pickle.

The people around you every day are the source of the problem. Go cry to them about it.

There was a vote.  The House passed it I believe.  What happened in the senate was John McCain.  He was the last to vote and scuttled it because they didn't have an actual plan to replace it.

Fox News is ANGRY that McCarthy is out.

It reminds me of the movie war games.
"Joshua : A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?"
The best solution is to let the two sides that represent no one, and everyone at once duke it out and get nothing done. Seems to be the only way to win as a citizen, lately.

This.  All day.

Something a helluva lot worse. One Gavin Newsom and a huge D sweep of Congress.

Good riddance he was a California Rino, one down and many more to go.

Maybe now, just maybe, these lame fucks who're supposed to be on our side instead of acting like white flag waiving cunts will wake the fuck up...

Lying should hurt. McCarthy the RINO fucked around and found out. There will be more pain before things can improve and it has to start somewhere.

We aren't going to win a presidential election again. They made sure of that after 2016 and many on the left openly said that'll never happen again

Doubtful. More likely, Fox did some market demographic analysis and determined that there was some untapped market share of ratings among Americans who disagree with the decision....so they will pander to them for a few weeks to lock in their October rating sweep.

Fuck McRino and fuck Zelensky.

Unfortunately, as usual, the damage is already done.

How would things be different? No Impeach Inquiry which won’t go anywhere anyway?

Good. I stopped watching that garbage when thy kicked out Tucker

My step dad was watching fox during the vote. He was all upset because fox was telling him to be. Blah blah compromise blah blah. That's worked so well in the past for us...

Of course they are.  They are a bunch of fake conservative RINOS that want to see democrats in charge.

It’s only just begun.

Traitor?



We need 434 more of him.

Should be interesting to see what the populists and democrats team up on next.

In reality not even that meets the Constitutional definition of treason. The grossly ignorant toss that term around like candy.

Like mccarthy?

nobody. there are enough folks willing to block anyone who wont go all the way with their views. right or wrong. the margin was thin for mcarthy. gonna be non-existent for folks to the right of him

paralysis and chaos will now ensue. did you check the market today? got a mummy in the white house, a paralyzed house and a dem majority in the senate, a crazed megalomaniac with the lead in the primaries.

THIS X 87

He's right, miss. Perhaps when you're not as emotional, your husband or life partner can explain it.
Oh, sorry your gal lost! Not so much

He’d get my vote!

He used McCarthy friends and allies to oust him.

Massie claims they had a bill cutting spending by 8% that included border security and Gaetz and 20 others voted it down:

THREAD:

Friday we voted on a bill to:

*fund appropriations at 92% for 30 days.

*pass HR-2, the Republican border security bill (sans e-verify)

*establish a debt commission.

I voted for it, but that bill failed because 21 republicans and every democrat voted against it.

He's also previously stated that Gaetz was instrumental in blocking the 12 different individual appropriations bills so that McCarthy couldn't get them to the floor or get them passed. In many of those votes, Gaetz voted alongside the Dems to obstruct legislation that the vast majority of Republicans agreed with (including no non-sense Conservatives like Massie and Chip Roy).

Multiple GOP Reps have spoken out and said this was all about a personal vendetta by Gaetz. Gaetz didn't want McCarthy to be speaker and when McCarthy won he somewhat spiked the football. Gaetz has been working overtime to MAKE SURE McCarthy couldn't get bills passed and has used a variety of obstructionist tactics while claiming McCarthy isn't doing what he promised.

I can't stand McCarthy. Is he a RINO? I don't think so. But, he's not particularly trustworthy or likeable. Regardless, McCarthy was kept in check by the Conservatives who actually wanted to see regular order, floor amendments, and less leadership control over the House. McCarthy has been held accountable and according to many Reps like Donalds, Roy, Massie etc he's kept his word.

It was particularly interesting to me that camera whore Nancy Mace joined Gaetz in this vote. I have a difficult time believing Gaetz and Mace over the other names mentioned. Look at their records. Look at their publicity seeking ways. Look at the fact it's an open secret Gaetz is trying to launch a campaign for Governor in Florida and Mace has similar aspirations for higher office.

I won't cry that McCarthy is gone. Don't like him. But, I think he was ejected for the wrong reason using tactics that were 100% backed by the Democrats. Some of you think "blowing things up" is the way to go. What you've forgotten is that the average voter disagrees. They're going to punish this kind of dysfunctional governance. The "outcome" of the budget battle is actually likely to be LESS favorable than if McCarthy had stayed. We're probably looking at an omnibus or another CR that includes no border security. It will also include Ukraine funding (which I'm totally fine with but many people here do NOT want).

I truly think that GD watches too many movies and trusts too many people who tell them what they want to hear. If McCarthy has done such a bad job why did only 7 Republicans, other than Gaetz, agree? One of which was Nancy Mace! Why would every single Democrat vote for this if McCarthy has been doing their bidding and making secret deals with them? Makes zero logical sense.

Another sign of the right call.

Thank you Mr Gaetz

This thread is delicious.

Not true. Remember when they compromised with Reagan? They got amnesty for undocumented immigrants, and we got a secure border.

He is a Patriot, sorry that bothers you.

And they're the media.......playing right into the D's hands.

Gaetz worked and voted to oust a sack of shit member of the uni-party, sounds like he voted his conscience just like a lot of "principled conservatives" here say that's how they will vote in 2024.  

The impeachment that was never going to happen unless the Dems wanted it to?

McCarthy is a rhino.  He's a liar.  He needed to go.

The Communists, Socialists, Progressives, Democrats, RINOs and GOPe get nothing but the end of a rope or their backs against the wall.  THEY GET NOTHING

Massie and others believe removing McCarthy means an omnibus is much more likely.

What prevents a tiny group of RINOs or blue state Republicans from joining the Democrats and passing an omnibus? Absolutely zero.

Politics is give and take. McCarthy, despite being a scumbag, was willing to work with blue state Republicans so they'd have cover with certain legislation they couldn't vote in support of. Now, the calculus has changed and all they will care about is their own political survival instead of any particular policy priorities or principles. If it takes voting with the Dems for an omnibus they'll do it. After all, Gaetz just set the precedent that a handful of Republicans voting with the entire Democrat caucus is completely acceptable, if not preferred!

He'll be on the Fox Board with Ryan in the next 2 years.

Amen
