McCarthy faces make-or-break moment in vote to elect House speaker | CNN Politics

House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy faces a make-or-break moment on Tuesday, as he seeks to lock down the support necessary to become the next speaker in a vote that could turn into a chaotic and contentious once-in-a-century floor fight

I mean.., think about this for a second here. This man here or this orange cheek kisser here.., can’t run his party in a manner thats not as childish as trump was. How can the republicans call themselves leaders or representatives, if they wanted and voted for a known racist? How??? What part of religious beliefs they believe in? Racism and guns is all they have. They all displayed this on January 6th. None of them made any sense of the situation but tried to cover for the ultimate lying jacka** at the very top. Talk about pitiful and shameful!!


No matter what happens today, McCarthy has already lost. Even if elected speaker, he will be a puppet leader beholden to the Captain Crazypants Coalition wing of the Republican Party. He's already conceded to a rule that would allow as few as five House members to call for a "remove the speaker" vote at any time (and the Crazypants wing is at this moment demanding the threshold to be lowered to a single member). Every piece of legislation, any congressional action will be held hostage to the whim of folks like Elise Stefanik, Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Even their "investigate the investigators" agenda will be made even more ridiculous by the demands of their far right contingent, making the next two years a circus performance that none of us really wanted but will be forced to watch.

In a way, it's poetic justice. Through their practice of gerrymandering, their support of the filibuster and the Electoral College, Republicans have for years managed to ensure that even when they lack a majority, they can still prevent a lot of things from getting done. Probably sucks for McCarthy to see that practice used against him, but I won't be shedding any tears.


LOL! I rest my case. News flash, little wretch: I don't watch any of your cable news programs, not even the ones your favorite filth traitor calls "fake news" and your type regurgitates since you don't have enough IQ points to form an original thought. I'd bother explaining the successes of this administration, but you're not intelligent enough to understand them and I couldn't possibly care less what a worthless deplorable thinks about anything. So, run along back to your Q rally while the adults talk, princess, and try not to lose any more hair over it while you do.


Jake Diecast are you delusional? Billions worth of military equipment left for terrorists to use to kill Americans. Middle East went fine. The economy is crushed. Buying eggs at $6 a dozen shows that. My 401k lost money this year. Great economy here though. Border patrol officers are showing video of the border that speaks for itself. Twitter has shown how the dnc and FBI we're censoring and controlling media over the last few years. People are seeing what this 2 party system is doing. Both parties are a joke at best. Both parties are puppets for corporations. Both parties lie on a daily basis. The party system needs to be reevaluated. I don't watch Fox either.


Are you saying the Democrats in Congress CAUSED the high food prices, high gas prices, and high inflation, all of which are GLOBAL problems?


Despite efforts from House Republicans to block progress in Congress, here are a few things you may not be aware of that House Democrats managed to accomplish:


~ Passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which Republicans voted AGAINST.
~ Passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to help rebuild America’s aging infrastructure.
~ Passed the CHIPS Act and the Science Act which will help us COMPETE with China by bringing manufacturing jobs back to America.
~ Passed the PACT Act which expanded healthcare for VETERANS.

~ Passed the PAWS Act to help VETERANS with mental illnesses
~ Passed the Safer Communities Act to help curb gun violence.

~ Increased COLA for VETERANS with disabilities
~ Reauthorized and strengthened the Violence Against Women Act.

~ Strengthened the Crime Victims Fund



Should I go on?
