Love one another as I have loved you Jesus said. And come follow Me ❤️📖nkjv 🧎♂️🙏🙂🕊🇺🇸🕊
Einstein said. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” They just keep voting.
Hey Kevin, just promise everyone everything they want to secure their votes–get the job and LIE like Republican SCOTUS JUSTICES do to get their jobs.
Dude loses 13 times in a row.. What a pos to not take himself out.. This is a lesson for people who dont know.. The few people blocking KM are the good guys… Not beholden to the swamp..
The Dems hold the 212 vote power. All they need to do is drop Jefferies and McCarthy and pick a moderate, friendly and logic minded Republican Speaker with their 212 votes. It’s going to be a Republican anyway right?
McCarthy is a SLEEZY POLITICIAN! So is JEFFRIES!
McCarthy should just pull a Senator Sinema and declare himself as an 'Independent!'
I'm sure all the Democrats and a couple of dozen Never-Trumpers would support him then.
Lmfao
Just shows how there is no patriot democrats, trying to hold the house in the lies and china supported democrats are all evil.
Duh. Mc Carthy is not wanted….what does it take to run him off. He must have a helluva grift
with this job!
This is hilarious! Never give up! Never surrender!
This is right in your face a struggle for power and money, if this doesn’t convince Americans that the Republican Party is totally broken , nothing will, very sad!.
Kevin; "I've offered the robbers the codes to the 💵🏦vault so now they will vote me into the speaker's seat!"👀
How selfish of GOP! Even their own staff suffers for their immaturity!
He is receiving less and less votes with each round of ballots. They need to keep this up thru the end of '24.🤡
Why doesnt McCarthy walk away? We The People of the Republican party dont want him. Thank God we have 20 people that listen to the people in the Congress. It’s not embarrassing and if you watch people in other countries are standing beside the people of America and whining what’s best for our country. The only people that are embarrassed are the Democrats because they want their words to be final
Just another day/week/month of waste in the government. I believe we should replace all these people with people who want what is best for the common man. We are tired of this. We are not fooled everyone of these men and women are just playing a bait and switch game. Democrats and Republicans are working together. We need men and women in charge that are there to change what’s wrong and stop the waste.
McCarthy wants the Speakership so badly, it makes him weak to negotiate with the anti Kevin side.
The speaker will be the one who starts the investigation of Hunter Bidens laptop and Joe Biden's involvement with his son, Nancy Pelosi's investigation on why she refused Trump's offer of 20 thousand national guards two days before the protest that was the cause of the escalation, when the national guard would have kept the protest from escalating.
The democrats Weaponization of the DOJ, and the FBI.
McCarthy loves lobbyists
This is about draining the swamp!
McCarthy can’t be the best and only Republican candidate. After the 11th vote shouldn’t you consider someone else???🙄
Democrats are counting on McCarthy to win!
Peacemakers, what a joke
The Lord has shown me what is coming, I've been preaching this hard message for over five years and most carried on like all would be okay, well here we are and the Lord is turning up the heat…for when a nation forsakes the Lord, the Lord forsakes that nation…Psalm 9:17….
Due to the abhorrent sins of this once great God fearing nation, the Lord God has removed His hand of blessing and is now pouring out His indignation upon us. The Lord works in this fashion…
1. He removes the food production of the land.
2. He removes the wealth.
3. He removes the people.
This pattern is well documented through out the Holy Scriptures. Yet even most sin blinded Christians still point the finger at the leaders…
Sin of any nation against the Lord God comes with consequences
Haggai 1:5-7
King James Version
5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
Like Isaiah, I asked the Lord how long do I preach this message and this is where He lead me too…
Isaiah 6:11-12
King James Version
11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12 And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
Now understand these words are written to the children of God and not the children of the devil….unless the church repents and returns to what she was called to be, the light of the world and the salt of the earth you ain't gonna see normal again, her light is as about as bright as a one wick candle sitting in the corner and her salt has lost its preservative power….let that sink in.
Seeing McCarthy twist in the wind is wonderful.
But, how is he even just allowed to serve after 1/6?
Oh I could have been wrong about that whole thing Congress is at a dead standstill they cannot pass any bills this is a good thing this could be all for show let the people see how far they'll go and how high they'll climb and how hard they'll cry if they don't get their paycheck let's let's weed out some of those deep staters so I'm looking at this a different way I'm looking at this may be a very good thing for our country in the long run we are going to see who's standing on which side that's the deep State and Mafia or it's going to be those that actually want this country to survive it's going to be a toss-up in my opinion
Unless they decide to use the loophole.
He's like Trump, pretending he's not a loser. Nancy doesn't need to hand him the gravel now. She's just a member of Congress!
Unite Republicans now
Do the right thing no Jeffries
