McCarthy Round 2

Sure can. Defund the FBI until they release the list. If the Dems want to die on the hill of defending child rapists let them. Defund Jack Smith in until he drops the bogus charges. Pelosi impeached Trump twice over nothing. Launched the sham Jan 6 committee, etc etc
I'm all for that, too. Who can be elected as Speaker who can get it done? And don't say Trump - that's just not going to happen.

Truth is if he had just released the Jan 6 tapes like he promised he'd probably still be Speaker. That was 100% in his control.
 
Who that could be elected House Speaker would achieve any of those things?

You know the same as I do - no one.

McCarthy got the hearings going on the Bidens and those committees are exposing corruption every day.

You're right that Dems get away with all that, but what Republican Speaker is going to stop it as soon as everyone wants? You can't impeach someone without the votes, which was what McCarthy was working on.

You're following Gaetz, who has a personal vendetta against McCarthy and the 8 have rendered the rest of the Party impotent - at least for now.

Dan, I may disagree with you everything this side of Ukraine, but you are arguing for effective government (just effective in a way I may not want). Some people, and some progressives are this way too, would rather throw a temper tantrum and demand everything and a unicorn. If they can't get the unicorn, they don't want everything as then they wouldn't have the reason to have the temper tantrum.

Never let the perfect become the enemy of the good.

Ultimately, it's up to the voters. If they want people like the Squad or Gaetz, or others, that's on the voters. We get the government we deserve.

I don't know how we keep the crazies under control, but it takes strong leadership that everyone respects. McCarthy, personally, doesn't come off as being strong on one side or the other. But a Steve Scalise? Yeah, he'd do. He's got the conservative bona fides and he seems like a man of action.

I hate Nancy Pelosi and everything she stands for. I think she has done more to damage America and the sense of fair play in government more than any other person i know. But Democrats love her because she's a strong leader and not afraid to use her power to get what she wants. As I said, I think she's destructive, but she gets people to follow her.
 
This is what we are facing. Removing McCarthy was the right move. He sat on his ass for too long.

Breaking News: President Trump has told Fox News Digital that he would accept a short-term role as Speaker of the House.

Yes yes. Do it. Can you imagine him trying to work through and with all the arcane rules and procedures? Like when he was President, he'll think he could just rule by fiat. It would be a train wreck.

All that’s left is to change the house rules.
He’s probably just going to talk non-stop about how unfairly he’s treated and how the election was stolen. It’ll just be his same boring speech he always gives, just in a different setting.
