    AMERICA spends BILLIONS 2 fund OTHER Countries & on Secret projects and helping BIG companies with Big TAX breaks;

    but yet (CONSERVATIVES & REPUBLICANS); don't want GOVT 2 spend more Money 2 help Regular AMERICANS!

    Remember GOVT PRINT Money. The VALUE of Money is MAN MADE!

    HELP regular AMERICANS !

    ALL of these POLITICIANS, after they get Elected, get into Office,
    and just do what THEY want to do ! But people FORGET, the ALL of these Politicians, are SUPPOSED to doing what WE the people WANT them to do when we ELECT them !

    WE the People ALLOW these Politicians to do what THEY want to do when they get ELECTED, but they are supposed to be doing what WE the People want !

    And (CONSERVATIVES & REPUBLICANS); don't want GOVT 2 spend more Money 2 help Regular AMERICANS!

    Once again, remember, GOVT PRINT Money. The VALUE of Money is MAN MADE!

    HELP regular AMERICANS !

  5. Former Congressman Ron Paul for Speaker of the House! "End the Fed" Speaker!

  6. This is a weird vote they keep voting until the person they want to win wins lol that's not very democratic a vote should be taken once and if its a draw then do it again but the man who wins second time is the winner, This is unfair.

  7. Which one of trumps idiots will be Tweeker of the House ?

  8. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today..

  9. JIM JORDAN WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE 🇺🇸 ✝️ ❤️

  10. Not quite the “CIVIL WAR” some of y’all were hoping for. 🤷‍♀️

  11. The GOP imploding before are very own eyes!

  12. “One thing I always hear on the road …why do Democrats always seem to stick together and Republicans don’t?” – Ronna McDaniel🌊

    Rep. Crenshaw said Democrats paid off the anti-McCarthy block to vote against him.🥴😂

    Ronna McDaniel said “McCarthy retired Pelosi” What???🤔🤥

    They’re in full meltdown on Faux “News”, even the “republicans” are shredding them in the comments! Smh…😂

  13. A guy with no backbone just doesn't deserve to be House Speaker
