If McCarthy is elected Dems get everything and no one is held accountable.

[tirwin1]

Not really. The 20 are saying "give us everything we want or no votes for you". That's not how compromises work, and compromises are how you make an acceptable deal when different parties want different things. McCarthy gave them some of the things they wanted, but they want everything with no compromises on their side. It doesn't work that way.

What did he give them?

 

[Dr. Evil]

What did he give them?

That's also been the mentality with guns. Give them this and they give you that. Compromise. How's that worked out?

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a shocking overnight vote held by the House of Representatives, the QAnon Shaman, aka "The Buffalo Guy" has received the majority of votes required to become Speaker of the House.

How long can this charade go on? If there's no SOTH in place there can be no confirmation of the incoming Representatives.

Lauren Boebert would be freaking easy on the eyes as SOTH. Just sayin'.

Would Life go on if the House would just shut down ... ummmmmm

Is McCarthy still occupying the speakers office? What a dickweed.

After 6 failed attempts because of only 20 GOP holdouts, this is clearly a "threat to our Democracy". Maybe people will gather at the capitol tomorrow, J6, in solidarity with Jeffries, for a mostly peaceful protest over the stolen house election. He has the most votes for any SOTH ever (in 2023).

If this goes on much longer, the man behind the curtain may have to reveal himself. The 20 GOP 'no' votes should probably fear for their own safety. I wonder which members on either side will be instructed to change their votes to get this over with.

Meanwhile, McConnell was hanging out with Biden in Kentucky. LONG LIVE THE UNIPARTY!

Kevin McCarthy occupying the speakers office at this point and time is a bullshit move on his part. He's got the Hillary thing going on... "But, it's my turn!"



On a side note, my disdain for Mitch McConnell is right up there with any Democrat.
Have you ever seen a more punchable face?

The closed door negotiating that is going on would probably make most people fucking sick.

One item I read the 20 GOP defectors were asking for was that a McCarthy aligned PAC wouldn't support any republican primary challengers in their districts. If their very first priorities in a new term are getting re-elected in the next term, I want them all out. All of them.

It doesn't matter who the next speaker is. Nothing changes. Nothing!

At the risk of sounding like I'm defending anyone who supposedly "represent" us, I don't think certain republicans trying to stop PACs run by their fellow party members from playing nasty games in just their primary districts is the point on those negotiations.

The Republican establishment in both the House and Senate control the money, whether its official party funds or outside PACs and even murkier funding (like the illegal foreign donations both parties take, or the BIG MONEY donor money that they funnel through cutouts to get around campaign finance laws). They wield that money against the candidates that people in their own districts want to vote for and put ringers in to muddy the waters at best, and at worse to get some total sellout uniparty RINO the primary win, resulting in another sellout in office or a Demrat pickup.

I'm not defending the 20 GOP holdouts against McCarthy. Congress and the Senate are both systemically corrupt.

I'm pointing out that there are very serious political shenanigans when it comes to legitimate elections, which includes the primary system.

Right now, the likes of Bitch McConnel and Moron McCarthy wield tremendous, behind the scenes power to make sure very few Republican candidates who actually believe in the Constitution ever make it to DC, and is a very large part of how the uniparty maintains control and gets away with their crimes.

The 20 hold outs are probably about as bought and paid for as the rest, so I am only defending the principle of OPEN and HONEST elections, against the tyrannical chicanery and farce that our elections have become.

Which is why I maintain that politics is not going to do anything to turn our nation around. We need to completely clean out the rats nests that both DC and the State capitals have become before we're ever going to have even the slimmest chance of restoring our Constitutional Republic.

 

[maverick52]

Supposedly Mccarthy is negotiating with the dems to get him the required votes. Which illustrates the point of the 20 republican holdouts perfectly. McCarthy would rather give in to the democrats than consider any of the proposals from his own party. Pathetic.

A deal with the devil.

 

[maverick52]

I think Steve Scalise should be nominated and end this bullshit. He would do a far better job. McCarthy needs to step down.

 

[fresch]

Ok, how about a guy that has been under the microscope for 6.5 years and comes out clean?
Or I'll do it, but I'm going to need to fire about 600 people to make this thing work.

He voted for McCarthy. He needs to go.

He’s probably one of the only people in government I respect. There are a few others, but the man got shot and isn’t calling for gun control. He’s still a man of his word and I agree but I heard he doesn’t want it.

 

[holdover]

The political parties have become nothing more than criminal cartels.

That, in a nut shell says it all. We cant vote our way out now. Its just how long will it take the people to recognize that government doesn't represent them any longer.

McCarthy fails on eighth ballot as speaker chaos continues into third day

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) fell short of the support needed to become speaker on the eighth ballot, with a group of 20 conservatives continuing to push back on the California Republican on the third day of votes on the floor.

McCarthy lost his 7th and 8th vote today, so far, but I bet the "show must go on" mentality will drag this through until next week.

McCarthy (like Trump) is a member of the WEF and another globalist sell out.

Kevin McCarthy Had 'Dinner' With Klaus Schwab, Spoke At WEF With McConnell's Wife - Valiant News

Long before his Speaker battle, Kevin McCarthy had "dinner" with Klaus Schwab while attending the World Economic Forum in 2018

I'm not a prognosticator, so I won't predict the outcome of this farce. Its obvious that McCarthy is the RINO of choice, but I do have to ponder if this clown show has a purpose we haven't seen yet.

I will point out that statements by Trump and others on how this circus is going to work out great for the Republican party and their term in the House ought to be an eye opener. What's good for the party is almost certainly bad for the country.

There is only one party: the corrupt cabal that is doing everything it can to assume total power over us.
