  1. No congressman should get a paycheck until the house speaker issues are resolved!!

  2. The Republicans are having an internal civil war. The GOP vs. Trump Cabal!!

  3. My name Alice Riddle, that comment on McCarthy it was I that commented not Josephine.

  4. Any true REPUBLICAN WILL NOT VOTE any trump endorsement!!! KEEP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY INTEGRITY ON POINT!!! I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN ONLY IF A TRUE REPUBLICAN GO FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE trump will not get my vote again!!! Only Biden will!!! Officer Sicnic lost his life because of that insurrecton 1/6!!

  5. TREMENDO CONSUMO DE ADRENOCROMO SATANICO EN EUROPA.

  6. Remember… they thought there would be a red wave … they can't even agree on a speaker 🤣

  7. He talk about bidsynce watch so etip don't get tapper with under nsici

  8. That's what happens when you start to go the populist road. Sooner or later they will turn on each other.

  9. Mainline establishment Republicans are the ones who fanned the flames of extremism and partisanship. It serves them right that they're now being devoured by the monsters they've created.

  10. Notwithstanding his terrible Environmental record, It seems the Christians are revolting again but the white eraser cannot be stopped. Self righteous minority zealots wish to control the majority in the US. They need to get their heads out of the clouds and get down to business.

  11. Congress is a big globalist cult of traitors..none of this matters.
    Remember they all agreed and sent 100+ billion dollars to Ukraine….mm

  12. "(Disgraced TRE45QN TrumPutian) Kevin McCarthy’s Speaker bid blocked for sixth time" so let's "Convince It Forward" and Laus DEO

  13. Trump needs to keep pretending that he wants Kevin McCarthy as Speaker. Kevin needs to withdraw and Byron Donalds needs to be nominated.

  14. McCarthy’s kink is clearly masochism.

  15. "I rise to nominate Liz Cheney for Speaker of the HOuse."

  16. President Trump needs to ask McCarthy to step aside as there are Trump supporters of President Trump. Will see President Trump goes forward to the 2024 presidential election! As Republican fighting amongst themselves, Democrats might be doing something on the sly!🖕🤦🏼‍♀️

  17. J. Boehner decided to walk away from the job after dealing with his own rebels. Dennis Hastert found out to be a pedophile after he left. Newt Gingrich had to resign due to ethics violations. Tom DeLay, another gop rep in leadership was indicted for campaign violations. Jeez! The law and order party? Whaaat?

  18. I start to think republicans like to be the opposition party. They really hate governing 🤷‍♂️

  19. Please move your stuff out of speaker office 😂😂😂 you loser Kevin., go to Taiwan as speaker, No way !

  20. Trump may be able to influence some politicians to be loyal to him but not to save someone.
    Saving is not the strong point of Trump.
    Destroying and pulling down things and people are what he is good at and putting himself in their places.
    Even among politicians like Boebart and Gaetz Trump's words are already ringing hollow.
    Perhaps Trump will begin to realize he had been used as the unsuspecting head of a radical far right battering ram to be discarded after he has served his purpose.
    Is he being discarded as we speak?

  21. Remember Force the vote the true left wanted to do

  22. I think Kari Lake is available. How about nominating her instead?

  23. 32nd time’s a charm, Kevin

  24. Mutual destruction of the corrupt and dangerous GOP…MAGA..KKK Power Base would allow USA to be something to be proud of 🤓🇺🇸

  25. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16-18 NKJV

  26. Gaetz for speaker until his arraignment

  27. If not Kevin McCarthy then who we're a long ways from anyone else as far as the Republicans are concern

  28. Kevin McCarthy the guy that ran to Trump after the Capital was attacked , a pupit and loser

  29. Drop out McCarthy! The People don't want you!

  30. so can I apply for the house speaker position ???

  31. Well, America really needs to listen to the likes of Blowbart, because the investment in our infrastructure is just the last straw, despite the wealth it created.
    Wake the duck up and reject these ignorant people America.
