  1. I'm curious why we fired Pelosi, just to hand the House right back to the Nazi Democratic Party?

  2. McCarthy is a retard! He’ll NEVER get any votes, no matter how many times he runs for Soeaker.

  3. What other tricks do demoncrats have up their sleeves.

  4. I predict he'll lose 11 times by Friday morning. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses all day Friday. Trump just can't stop winning. McTrumpNuggets can't stop losing.

  5. He should just step away

  6. This never happened in a 100 yrs.πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ Kevin need to drop out stop wasting time.

  7. Republicans will lose my vote next election if they can't unite as one, then I don't care who rules the government. We live a very comfortable life because we work hard for it not because big government needs to give me/us freebies. I've been a proud Republican but this circus of theirs is ridiculous and I am with Democrats when they laugh at their circus! You Republicans have lost my respect!

  8. Trump for speaker McCarthy is a Democrat

  9. Come on Kevin show was a true Republican you are, step aside and take one for the team. Give someone else a swing at bat.

  10. I never thought Boebert could be bought by the democrats, Biggs & Gaetz i'm not surprised . I wonder how much the dems paid them? , 10 million , 5 billion? i wonder if the other 17 un-heard-ofs were paid or if they drank the coolaid freely? I wonder wich bill the money the dems paid them with came from? , Build Back Better or Ukraine ? I bet Graham & McConnell are P'od because Biggs, Boebert, & Gaetz are the democrats new Judas Iscariots. Yesterday it was Jordan & today Donalds, Biggs Gaetz & Boebert are going to keep this shananagan going until Jeffries is declared speaker by default. If the republicans want to have Speaker of the House then they need to make the 20 Judas's vote first & then McCarthy & the rest vote for the same person as the Judas's . Its the only way there is going to be a Republican Speaker of the House. @ #KEVINMCCARTHY

  11. Who cares about McCarthy?? Just prop up a scary looking dummy with a large sign that says "NO!!!!!" to all of Biden's destructive agenda. Problem solved.

  12. πŸ™ŠπŸ™‰πŸ™ˆπŸ™ŠπŸ™‰πŸ™ˆπŸ’πŸ΅πŸ¦πŸ΅πŸ¦πŸ¦§πŸ¦§πŸ¦§Joe 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 – 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

  13. Smoke on that, Retrumplicans!!! πŸ’¨πŸ’¨πŸ’¨πŸ’¨πŸ–•πŸ–•

  14. 3 votes? Best 2 outta 3!?! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  15. Good golly, who didn’t see this coming? Michael Moore for one…

  16. So weird" I usually can't stand looking at his face, Now if y'all could just tar and feather Trump walking to a cliff and see if he can fly better than any roosters ever flown in all time even that one Colonel Sanders started with. I will be forever in your debt, okay that's a lie. man how do you guys do that so easilyπŸ₯΅

  17. Our whole government is a joke

  18. America is sick and the GOP even sicker.

  19. I like how none of you liberals are explicitly saying it but I know y’all want Jeffries to win lol, even tho he’s full of controversy and is another political party pawn. But at least he’s a democrat and a liberal am I right? πŸ₯Ί JEFFERIES FOR SPEAKER 2023 πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™ VOTE BLUE FOR EVERYTHING πŸ₯° #lovewins #inclusivitymatters #progressiveness

  20. Oh god does that mean Jeffries will be the new house speaker? πŸ™„πŸ˜’

  21. Well i hate the douchebag but i got to point out there isn't anyone else nominated and until someone else gets closer to the 218 votes its still presumably his unless Matt Gaetz and Co. are just unwilling to compromise there integrity and flip flop . Matt Gaetz . He's about as likely to stand on a principle as he is to check I.D. it's the GOP so it goes without saying this has a price tag and it also goes without saying they have no problem saying no until they get a fair offer in exchange for saying the word yes . They vote out loud . He knows who said no and he knows they have no more integrity than he does so it's really more of question of how much not how long .

  22. Lol the GOP is a party of clowns. This is what they are now. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people. Trump, McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Boebert, they're all insane and inept.

  23. McCarthy McConnell McDaniels…Mc losers…πŸ’―πŸ’―πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²

  24. Denied, well done brave Republican few, you are the real peoples representatives and leaders. Keep it up. Don't let these regime cowards win.

  25. Ha haha ha stupid kevin, couldn’t be a man, just a wet noodle.
