This is dumb.

I wish to God I had an intelligent party that lined up to my beliefs that I could support. Instead it is Dumb or Demented.

Gaetz is a moron. The CR he blocked would’ve been an 8% reduction in government spending over 30 days. It would have been a great move by the House to put that in front of the Senate and Biden at the 11th hour and make them say no and shut down the government.

Instead a 45 day CR with no cuts and no border security package is passed. Real Conservative idiot.

Bingo….now someone will ban you for this factual post

Dems are planning to vote to oust McCarthy, so guess it will come down to a handful of votes.

Looks like McCarthy is fkd. Chaos to quickly begin.

So, Gaetz is teaming with Democrats, which is what he blamed McCarthy of doing.

DNC is likely going along just to prove how dysfunctional the fringe GOP is.

 

[DANC]

He’s supposedly building up his CV for a run for governor in Florida in 2026, I believe.

There's no f'ing way that will happen. Even the Republicans I know down there think he's a loud-mouth punk.

Thing is, I agree with a lot of what he proposes. But he doesn't know when to take a win and live to fight another day.

So after these shenanigans.... how do they come up with a new Speaker?

I mean...if those 11 really wanna burn the house down...Gaetz nominates a Dem?

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Obviously Gaetz is going to nominate Trump.

Seems like this could make January look like a cupcake.

Dems will take the House back next year. With a looming government shutdown, and a speaker that can be voted out on a whim, Americans will want more stability.

He’s going to end up getting the Gaetz omnibus.

What I enjoy at this point is the abject incompetence on display. It's like art.

 

[Ohio Guy]

Newt Gingrich says House Republicans should expel Gaetz. I agree with Newt Gingrich...I need to sit down.

Trump will do it. For the country!

Why would anyone vote Dem after the last three years. No chance. And gaetz is the Fing worst.

You’ll get an invite to the mountain. Me and Brad and Lars and coh and snarl and the dream team. Rollin back the clock. You’ll have no idea what year it is. But I’ll promise you this. We’ll be filling our tools and trucks with gas

Yay, let's vote for a bunch of defund the police clowns that support criminal activity!

Yet more Pubs have talked about defunding law enforcement than dems (see FBI/DOJ).

Pubs definitely didn't care about police on Jan 6. Guess it is just selective.

Stupid. There are 900,000 policeman around the country

Joe's got a plane. That would be useful. Like Murdock from the A-Team

Give Nancy Mace a turn. She promised to keep her man happy at that prayer breakfast. Maybe she'll keep her voters happy.

Screw McCarthy. McMurt is the only Irishmen I need. At some point Republicans might want to start acting like conservatives. The entire reason we have Trump is because Republicans are spineless sacks of shit.

Of course it is.

You finally figured out why Trump is so popular among Republicans.

I love James Carville- he knows the country is center left or center right period. Speaker chair is open again, now does Marjorie start ghosting McCarthy?

There was a deal to operate on a temporary budget with an 8% cut in spending plus funds for border protection. Gaetz and Co. didn't want that - they want to do it their way.

Republicans can pass a reasonable budget if they would all work together.

What a complete embarrassment for Republicans yet again. McCarthy made his bed with MAGA, and now he gets to rot in it.

Fitting how one of the R reps joked about pulling the fire alarm before casting his vote... not because he was mocking the Dem who did it, but because the GOP can best be described as a giant flaming turd bag that just exploded inside of a toxic waste dumpster that is floating down the sewers of rotting MAGA conservatives deep in the bowels of hell.

The last time a GOP House worked together was the GWB administration prior to 2006.

Time to face the reality that it's not a conference that is capable of governing

How constantly increasing the debt levels a capable way of governing?

 

[DCGeneral]

This is not a new development. Long ago, the GOP decided to declare war on the entire United States of America.

Is growing federal debt something you blame on one side of the aisle or the other? Watch when we fell off the gold standard and started trickle-down economics, see why George W. Bush had to fire my fave bean counter Mitch Daniels- brother my elephant side can’t pass a balanced federal budget in decades!
