  1. Unless you’re playing bass guitar for ZZ Top, no adult should be called “Dusty”

  2. Freedom Caucus. I'm going to assume its members are supporters of fascism.

  3. 125 congressional republicans signed the amicus brief related to right wing state district attorney's post election pleading to the Supreme Court requesting the court throw out the results of swing states in the 2020 federal elections.

    By my count that's the vast majority. No reason to expect the Republican party to do anything that is helpful to the cause of democratic government. All of the dramatic persona here, EACH OF the 'NEVER KEVENs', KEVEN himself, KEVIN's supporters, and all those who have been mentioned as possible alternatives to KEVIN; ALL, EACH and EVERY ONE, would have preferred to overturn the 2020 Presidential election, they ALL support the big lie, they are ALL Trump enablers, and they are ALL on the record to that effect.
    Born natural liars and conspiracy theorists, there will be no end to putting lipstick on this pig. But, have no doubt that whatever these people are up to, it is not in the interest of the US people that want to live in a free country with representational government.

  4. Got to stop acting like toddlers!

  5. At this point, Hakeem Jeffries will be speaker, he's of the party of honor (Democrats), not the party of corruption and chaos (Republicans).

  6. MTP should ask this congressman about b alliance with the democrats to Govern.

  7. Big boys & big girls? How about mature adults. Honest hard working, upstanding men and women. These people are like school children throwing names, sticks & stones. Ridiculous really!

  8. How does Rep. Johnson know WHAT the people want; it cannot even elect a speaker.

  9. Is a Shame to impose a candidate Speaker that respond to Trump directly by his acts on the media.

  10. NO, We want a house that looks like decent adults who actually have the wisdom of real Chiefs and Councils. It is getting ridiculous to see grown people without true human principals mouthing hot air a rehetoric they have been taught to parrot with their false image and photo op. People with eyes can see your trail of destruction and smell the corruption behind those old political words that sereve no human

  11. 6 weeks of these voting charades?

  12. Mature, dignified, chivalrous behavior?? Those qualities do not exist in the MAGA CULT!!

  13. What ever they are really doing, it's not for the people.

  14. NOT ONE. ONE DEMOCRAT JUMPED SHIP HERE. TOTAL 100% COOPERATION AND UNITY — READY TO GO TO WORK IN THE PEOPLES HOUSE DOING THE PEOPLES BUSINESS — HEY REDPUBLICANS. GROW UP. JUST 4 ONCE PRETEND TO CARE OK 👍 AND GET UR A$$ TO WORK. INFANTILE. VERY

  15. Dunno. This representative does not look like a big boy.

  16. Get McCarthy out the way and put Democrat in the House because it look like Republicans can't get it together

  17. mcCarthy appears weak, he can't garner enough votes to get the speakership positon.

  18. Those 20 are "Never McCarthy"because they do not trust him.[I don't trust them either, but that's beside the point].
    And why should they?
    The American people KNOW he's a liar.
    He's lied so often we can play his lies back to back for days.
    I'm more surprised that so many Republicans do trust him!😳
    He's a wishy-washy liar and if they support him that is who they are too.🤷‍♀️

  19. IF they want rules to make them "big girls and boys" WHY ARE THEY ACTING LIKE TODDLERS? They do not want to do what is best for/wanted by constituents–They are all narcissists!

  20. They ran off all the big boys and girls.
