  1. Now Brazil is getting into the insanity of the maga stench.

  2. 1:38 Now they have "FINALLY" Learned to Govern, GREAT only took them about 247 years. Now that they have learned, let's solve the National Budget problem (don't spend more money each year than the Treasure Brings in) i.e. Do not make the National Debt get any worst. Also connected, start bringing the National Debt down, I believe the last time that the National Debt was zero was at the start of a Recession in either the year 1913 or the later Recession of 1917 (with Politicians telling (lying) to the American People that they needed to spend more money than they were taking in, to help the USA get out of the Recession, but the deficit would be corrected in just 2-3 years. I would have loved to have been there in that Time Period with Karine and watched her put major "Spin on the News". Anyway the National Debt has always been BAD since either 1913 or 1917, over 100 years of paying Taxpayers Money on the interest on the National Debt. There are a lot of other things that Congress can work on, now that they have learn to Govern, and no major Problems can totally wait to be worked on, before other problems can be solved, but if the USA Congress can totally eliminate the National Debt and hence interest payments on the National Debt, there would a lot more Taxpayer's Money to pay for other Major Problems Solutions.

    From the National Debt Clock:
    $31,476,759,000,000

    Population of the USA:
    331,900,000

    Debt / People = $94,838.00
    So if a 10% Interest there is $9,483.80 owed per person in the USA each and every year* (If the USA National Debt stayed the same, but Joe Biden and parts of Congress seem "Hellbent" to greatly increase the National Debt by really high Government spending levels, NOT TRYING HARD TO REDUCE THE NATIONAL DEBT.)

  3. 0:25 Is that the Gal that seemed to hate the person being Voted on just a few votes ago?

  4. I do not understand this process, seems like not only is there a Democratic "The Swamp" months and a couple of years ago, but now there seems to be a Republican's "The Swamp" as well. Seems like "The Swamp" of Insiders (in the Republicans part) have already determined the Speaker of the House way before the very first Vote, and keeps "throwing the same name out to Congress" time, and time, and time, and time again, until Congress finally gets sick of the Voting Process, and votes the person that "The Swamp" has already picked for the job, into the Office of Speaker of the House. Why not after the very first Vote with no Winner, pick someone else to have a turn getting Voted on?

  5. That Republican party all need a few years in mental hospital and then could never run for office again yun less it's fore a job for Rotor Router to clean outside dung houses every night 😃😃😃😃😃🙂🙂🙂🙂😝😝😋😋🦇🦇🦡🦨🦨

  6. "I'll have the votes….and the humiliation of losing 100 times in a row to get there"

  7. Democrat anything is a liar, should not vote, economic harm USA

  8. Does this really matter to anyone?
    I can guarantee this corrupt circus will keep the borders open, send your money to Ukraine, and do nothing to improve America…..k

  9. With the current problem around the world today I think it's best everyone invest more in digital asset than Saving in banks, anyone you can manage don't live a life with no investment . Just my thoughts

  10. For tonight it is now game over. For the 118th house of republicans ballot vote

  11. McCarthy lost the 14th vote during which heated words were exchanged and a fight nearly broke out. What a mess!

  12. NOW WE LEARNED HOW TO GOVERN WHATTTTT😭😭😭😭😭 GQP at its finest

  13. We don’t want you, you better not get the cotes

  14. Gaetz is going to vote for McCarthy because he knows he will get power and be able to hold it over McCarthy that he was the difference. And that's all it's about…power.

  15. Current Republican Party is now control by Conservative, Extremist, and White Nationalist.

    Each with their own agenda and power against will of American people.

  16. He can't win with all the RINO's

  17. LOSER…like his LOSER BOSS…

  18. Remember Kevin: when you sell your soul to the devil he, eventually comes to collect.

  19. Kevin McCarthy is a JOKE!

  20. Self-esteem matters, isn't it? Why is Mr. McCarthy fighting to be the Speaker? Generally speaking, if someone proud of himself/herself, shouldn't run several times for a position. Ms. Margaret Thatcher resigned to maintain her party unity because she put the public interest in the first place. She didn't fight for the job. Remember: "Ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country."

  21. Embarrassing for America again. What a joke!

  22. If mccarthy wants matt gatez vote he needs to use a different bargaining chip… An ounce of cocaine and an out of state 13 year old girl!

  23. That is the American political process on a whole. Just like the sausage making process, it is filled with a mix of good and questionable components; however, I still prefer the American way over the offerings of any other country.

  24. “Now we’ve learned how to govern” says McCarthy. He’s a piece of garbage and snake. And most importantly a INSURRECTIONIST. Who DOESNT know how to govern a lemonade stand.

  25. I totally have lost all faith in congress. What a bunch of pathetic losers all I hear this side did this and the other side did that! Sorry America we are a sinking ship!

  26. Fitting if he gets the gavel on Jan 6th.

  27. That's not Kevin McCarthy, that's Rep. Ben Dover.

  28. That's scary. If he has the votes he's sold his soul to the devil.

  29. Lol he's so pathetic

  30. Kevin’s spine must be so flexible by now he can twist into a pretzel without hurting himself. 😅

  31. I want Byron Donalds. That man said he doesn't even want the position, but will serve his country if called upon. THAT IS WHAT WE NEED FOR EVERY ROLE IN CONGRESS.

  32. Hold out!!! Mccarthy is garbage!
