Very proud. The last thing I want is a lockstep vote, like the pretend ones in communist countries. There were some major concessions to get McCarthy the speakership. He didn’t just get it because it was “his turn”

Are you really this stupid? Disagreements are healthy and needed. Both parties have plenty of those. But this clown show this week was NOT substantive arguments on the issues. It was a political show of influence from the far-right, and it will lead to similar ones during this 118th Congress, just because the Republican majority is so slim it won't be able to pass any legislation without consensus - which it does not have!

Are you saying you prefer NO legislation, to consensus legislation?

That's anarchist thinking, and utterly unproductive.

Yes. After this last huge bill. No legislation is better.

Can’t fix stupid.

Yup. There’s a reason they say don’t negotiate with terrorists. It just encourages more of it. I’m sure the rest of the caucus learned a lesson from this.

He would have been better off going to the dems and cutting a deal for a handful of votes.
He really sucks at his job.
And don’t say he would have lost some of the other republicans, he wouldn’t have. They are feckless cowards who will go along. They always do.

Exactly. He chose this. He chose to give everything up and to empower extremists in his own party, who didn’t even bother to vote for him-just not voting against him on the 15th try, rather than attempt to make some reasonable negotiations with reasonable people who don’t want to burn down the government. He deserves whatever happens to him. He has bad judgment and poor leadership skills. The country doesn’t deserve to be stuck with him and his inept, ignorant posse though, as shown by the vast numbers of people who vote for democratic representatives.

Scary thought: that ineffectual weakling who stands for nothing is now third in the line to lead our nation.

Not for long. His face will be eaten by his leopard caucus soon enough.

The word you’re looking for here is “authoritarian,” not “communist.” Communism seeks to establish a system without socio-economic classes and their associated struggles by vesting the workers (proletariat) with control over property and the means of production) so they can distribute wealth equitably. “Communism” by definition necessarily means the workers themselves are making all decisions. Much of what people who like to throw around terms like “communism” fail to understand is that these forms of government are in reality little more than a form of “state capitalism” under a system of one-party rule.

Yes, and the concessions were given to a tiny minority fringe group that seeks to dismantle our democracy. The Republican caucus is now prisoner to six people who tried to invalidate the last presidential election and would crater the economy just to see themselves on TV some more.

Congratulations.

There is a lot of evidence of voter irregularities and in the speaker vote. This election was stolen. Huge voter dump after night on Friday! Why isn’t Biden doing something? Where is the DOJ!

Biden is not in the line of succession. He IS president.

I am eagerly awaiting Clooney documentary on sex scandal and OSU. I hope Gym Jordan s skewered to a crisp!

I am posting from Ohio and I’m here to tell you it doesn’t matter. Google his “district” sometime. It’s fitting for him, as it looks like sprawling malignant tumor.

This doc will get national attention and he will be asked many questions. He will look like a fool if he dismisses the accusations of the boys (now men) involved. Remember Denny Hastert!

And I’m telling you those questions won’t be asked on conservative news stations. His voters will not watch that documentary and will never hear about any of it.

Someone will purchase billboard space in his District. Old school.

I look forward to watching him perform the Sword of Damocles dance day in and day out.
McCarthy has no interest in governing. He just wanted the title of Speaker. He will give in to all demands.

But Dems can also ask for an order to vacate.
