  6. Real conservatives donโ€™t want McCarthy either. If he is elected speaker I canโ€™t call myself a Republican anymore, I will switch to being an independent

  7. If that lying thug McCarthy attains the Speakers Gavel I fear darker times coming for the citizens of the United States!

  12. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘McCarthy is a snake in a weasels body

  13. Cut the nonsense and dump These losers back in the Peanut Gallery. Reach across the isle and Hope Ya haven't totally ticked off the Dems. ( Yeah Right ๐Ÿ˜‰)

  14. Republicans: โ€œI love lamp.โ€

  15. What, you mean extreme right wing politicians are causing problems? Shocking.

  16. 222 clowns doing the same moronic thing over and over looking for a different result.

  17. Good for them. We're sick of the RINO Establishment losers who just get in there and rubber stamp every Democrat spending bill, with hardly any cuts———–prospective Speakers who aren't interested in cutting government spending, including the military, balancing the budget, and stopping illegal immigration shouldn't even stand for the post

  18. But but the Republican have the Majority ….majority of MoRons!! Not shocking at all …what a disaster full of nutcase dummies in ….Boebert, Greene, Gaetz now Santos …and MORE!.Clowns

  19. Breaking News: The Do-Nothing Party does nothing!

  20. Oh maybe there is a glimmer of hope.

  21. The GQP is so messed up they're immobilized — but yeah, its the Democrats' fault — riiigghht – As BTC would say!

  22. Everyone needs to take a few seconds and email their rep and express your wishes!!! It took me 17 seconds to make my voice heard

  23. Democrats wanted to preserve democracy. This is what it actually looks like.

  24. Cue Ace Ventura LOSER to Mccarthy

  25. Are we in junior high school wtf?

  26. I am not an American. I am from New Zealand I take it that Kevin McCarthy is not very Popular He is not well spoken of in the comments

  27. ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฆง๐Ÿต๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฆง๐Ÿฆ๐ŸตJoe Biden has plagiarized from speeches, essays, and policy positions throughout his entire life
    As a student at Syracuse Law School in 1965, Biden plagiarized 5-pages from a law review journal "without quotation or attribution"
    During his failed 1988 presidential campaign, Biden plagiarized from speeches by British politician Neil Kinnock, Robert Kennedy, and President John F. Kennedy
    Now, Joe Biden and his 2020 Presidential campaign are at it again โ€“ lifting ideas, slogans, and writings to pass off as their own
    Last year, Biden's campaign used "word-for-word" language from other groups as part of his climate and education policy papers
    The newly released recommendations from the "Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force" takes whole sections straight from Bernie Sanders' campaign platform
    Biden's "Build Back Better" slogan is a phrase coined by Bill Clinton in 2006

  28. So the democrat had the most votes in three elections.. Why is he not named speaker?

  29. Thereโ€™s a discussion among a group with two hundred and twenty two members, thereโ€™s no danger of it overflowing itโ€™s borders.

  30. Burn the swamp to the ground. Mccarthy is an empty suit working for the donor class. Release his tax returns so the people can see how he got his millions.

  31. cue the theme from Curb your Enthusiasm

  32. I do not understand how so many MAGA insurrectionists are still in congress.
