Democrats were more than Pleased with McCarthy

???

Not a single Dem voted for him to be Speaker and every single Dem voted for him to be removed.

Democrats don't think for themselves.

I thought we established that earlier in the thread.

The time to have this fight was last year not heading into the election cycle.

Maybe it is just me, but it seems like it is always an election cycle.

This is how our government should work; people having individual thoughts instead of the cult that the Democrat party has become. Representative Andy Biggs speech today was great and lays out pretty much what I think:

twitter.com...

Has the media linked this as a "LOSS" for Trump yet?

I'm comfortable with chaos.

I sure as hell prefer it to the "orderly" destruction of our country over the last 30+ years.

But chaos is not good for America or Americans. It is good for Russia and China, who are reveling in a weakened House of Congress.

What these incompetents are doing is showing to the world they can't even rule their own majority. That should be pretty damn simple, right? Just get your own people under control.

The GOP being in complete disarray does not help a single American in any way. But it is predicted. Donald Trump would bring the entire GOP down with him.

And this, Russia and China, also revel in.

Seriously? Did you type that with a straight face?

The removal of democrat speaker McCarthy is not remotely comparable to the chaos, incompetence, and destruction the Biden administration let loose on Americans from the day his corrupt, demented ass was sworn in.

And the Marxist democrats have no room to talk about China and Russia reveling, when this administration and it's minions have given China and Russia everything they could have wanted...for a price that goes directly into the "big guy's" bank account.

I'm watching FOX, republican guy upset because not all Republicans think the same.

THIS IS OUR PROBLEM FOLKS.


Group-think is a double-no-no-good.

Not if the Republicans Elect an Actual Strong Speaker . Then it's a win win.

I know that is MUCH easier said than done .

No.

What I mean is by agreeing with DB, it's part of group-think.

So what is one to do!!

To your point though, I don't know what a good leader looks like vote wise. It took all the D's and 11 Rs to remove McCarthy.

The rub being if someone is elected by R's do we simply get a McCarthy 2.0?

Maybe we need someone who is not a member of Congress at present.

a reply to: theatreboy

Every 2 years for the house that's why last year was the time.

Correct. On top of that, Gaetz doesn't have a base to work with. Some of the R's want to oust him too.

Are you sure that wasnt Paul?

Wonder what happened to that.

I guess hammer time gets the old grey matter a chargin.

Nah, Paul’s got his own male minion RINO to change his diapers and butt plug for him.

Sad one eyed noises.....

And of course the interim speaker is going to take a week recess instead of working.

Such BS.

Yes, he's already instilling so much confidence in his leadership.
