  1. Iโ€™m feeling another insurrection 2.0 in the makes. Stay Tuned

  2. GET ALL NANCY THINK ALIKE OUT OF WASHINGTON! That includes Bernie!

  3. For the love of Humanity do not put another Nancy or anyone like her as speaker of the house

  4. Chip Roy nominated Byron Donalds to buy time to have a serious conference with McCarthy. He's the one you need to make sure gets what Texas needs as Amendments to the Omnibus, be it vouchers for agricultural farming and ranchers for equipment, be it coastal infrastructure improvements, be it deal with the border issue, or be it let them have their pipeline project. He's the one that can convince the 18 voters to comply, even if both Boebert & Gaetz are out to ruin the entire Republican party. You only need 18 votes, not 20!

    [TRUMP: Make America Great Again Super-PAC = $54 million & Trump Leadership PAC = $20.8 million. Democrats are not the only ones that got PAC funding.] Anyhow, during when Trump was president, when SARS-Coronavirus reached its next level & our US Navy ship came from Asia, docking Guam, the ship reached out that there was an emergency outbreak on the ship. Trump ignored it, didn't request any help from CDC to contain the issue, & merely told the ship that it's the sacrifice of war. The ship told the president, "But we are not at war," which we weren't at the time. The ship should have been sent to one of our nearby military islands in the pacific, not highly populated, and CDC should have been flown onto that such island. Plus, Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of NIAID, fully responsible for gain-of-function bio-warfare creation of lab-created animal to human viruses… is a Republican. Fortunately, he's retiring, and it is hoped that such hazard will also be retired. Democrats made sure to put in the Omnibus Bill to temporarily halt funding to NIAID's bio-program. After all, SARS-Coronavirus didn't just affect China. It spread across the entire globe, reaching our shores when Trump's cruise ship docked port with the virus intact, worsened by infected tourists flying in. At the time, we didn't have tests to determine who was infected or not. He allowed the infected on the cruise ship to enter our continent. He played the virus down like it was as harmless as the mosquito virus. We all had no idea what we were actually up against. We had one-third of our entire population infected and one million deaths. Trump was more concerned about keeping his cruise ships going and filling his hotel rooms in his overseas hotels with military occupants than the safety and well-being of our population. That is why he was voted out! The democrats are willing to work with the new house of Republicans, but you have 20 Republicans who would rather ruin it for the entire party than get their act together. Republicans worked very hard to have their positions, and it's not because of Boebert and Gaetz. These two youngsters would rather ruin everyone's effort and hold the entire Congress inconveniently than be reasonable. Democrats are willing to compromise with Republicans on needs of the states and people, but for a small fraction of the party to be so selfish and self-serving is a spectacle. Maine got its infrastructure programs to help save its lobsters, for example. I'm absolutely sure that farmers could have gotten vouchers for equipment and hardships, vouchers needed to improve agricultural and farming production, but wasting time bickering and being stubborn does not make it happen. Needs can be amended into the bill, replacing any ineffective or useless programs that may have been overlooked. Many Republicans got what they needed in the bill. Of course, in 4,000+ pages there are probably some ridiculous programs that may have been overlooked that American taxpayers would be very unhappy about, where their hard-earned dollars should not be going, but there absolutely are many projects worthwhile. Democrats and Republicans working together will probably even be able to get some of the drilling projects and the pipeline back up and running. Budget proposals for reinforcing the border wall could even be up for discussion whereas contractors could put up ideas on its continued construction. Both parties actually agree that it's becoming a burden to babysit all these illegal immigrants, many of which are not going to put in their part into the effort of our country but instead be overbearing. It's very time-consuming and costly to go through them all to figure out who should stay and who are the useless criminals that would disrupt society. Both parties, yes, can agree on that, for sure! What's with Boebert and Gaetz? This I tell to: Lauren Boebert (CO) and Matt Gaetz (FL): It's clear that both of you are Trump supporters who are under the delusion that Trump will be voted back in come 2024. Meanwhile, you two want to ruin it for the entire Republican Party, risking the Speaker of the House to be put back into the hands of the Democrats, rather than allow Congress to function. More than likely neither Biden nor Trump will be voted back in by either party come 2024. Both parties are fed up with it! Boebert's experience as a politician is she had Shooters Grill restaurant that is now being replaced by a Mexican Restaurant. Gaetz should be supporting DeSantis, not Trump, and is a disappointment to Florida. Definitely Boebert and Gaetz are trying to influence the other 18 voters. To those 18 voters: Please make your own decision in voting! Once Congress is in order, amendments can be made.

    As far as Ukraine, Marjorie Greene already has a deal to audit and oversee how and where Ukraine is managing its funding in order to assure that American tax dollars aren't being funneled corruptly. After all, Zelensky's wife shouldn't be going on a $40,000 shopping spree in Paris when Ukraine's parliament is begging for donations and war weapons. Where did the $38,000 in donations made through FTX for the Ukrainian people go? Plus, if any of those weapons end up on the black market, we will know about it! I'm sure even war weapons profiteers wouldn't want the weapons to fall into the wrong hands. Honestly, I would like to see the Ukraine-Russia war tone down with peace proposals rather than it get too far out of hand. There again is where compromise must occur as both sides have its own idea of how things should be. It's a very complicated and difficult war! I don't care who of Democrats or Republicans got FTX-PAC funding through Alameda as we are not going to allow that little mini-Madoff twirp & his co-conspirators manipulate and make a mockery of Congress. It's time that Congress gets its act together!

  5. Aw gee, what a shame! Nothing but a GUTLESS LAPDOG to LYING IDIOT trump!!! Screw them both!!!!!

  6. A house full of unhappy FCKTARDs

  7. What a joke! A bunch of immature snowflakes! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  8. McCarthy looks like some people who keep doing the same pageants with the same package and expecting a different outcome.

  9. If McCarthy wants to be speaker of the house, he will have to remember a very old proverb that seems to have fallen out of use among todayโ€™s politicians. โ€œThe enemy of my enemy is my friend.โ€ Another one is โ€œpolitics makes for strange bedfellows.โ€ Heโ€™ll have to reach across the aisle. And wonโ€™t that be an interesting thing? They will doubtless demand concessions. If he can get enough of them on his side, he may even have enough votes to disenfranchise the troublesome freedom caucus and might ultimately have a shot at nullifying the effectiveness of the crazier wing of the Republican Party if he plays his cards right. The country might actually go back to a time where both sides work together to help us all out instead of each side stubbornly refusing to budge on anything and gridlocking the whole damn process. What a concept! We live in interesting times.

  10. Republicans tear up themselves

  11. How embarrassing is this!? Kevin is like that agent in the CIA that thinks he's getting a high profile espionage division fighting terrorism when he's really getting the low profile research division tracking temperature spikes at the polar cap! ๐Ÿ™‚

  12. the people donโ€™t want McCarthy

  13. I'd be deeply saddened if Kevin wasn't the House Speaker, he'd be the perfect choice to further destroy the Republican Party, what's left of it

  14. Only in America. When a bunch of crimnals can't vote another Crimnal in. We end up with Nancy bk. Lmao. Again. Only in America the beautiful.

  15. McCarthy's dream of becoming Speaker is turning into a living nightmare.., he'll wake up as the new Speaker and thank the Lord it was just a horrible nightmare. Until realization brings him to reality, then he'll tell himself.., ,"No, I'm not waking up, I'll just go back to sleep where I'm still Speaker. I'd rather live in my alternate universe, like the rest of my Republican friends.

  16. honestly isnโ€™t the point of a vote to have the one with the most win, i know im not that familiar with the process our government makes decisions like these but i can seem to understand why stuff like the electoral college or stuff like this it just feels like they take to much power away from the people.

  17. gaetz will fight till he wins

  18. I'm only surprised that McConnell…Graham…etc haven't voted for Jeffries

  19. Mccarthy should withdraw…..new blood needed desperately!!

  20. TRUMP = GPOATโ€”PUT THAT Sโ€”T ON A T-SHIRT!!!! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโ˜๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

  21. Donโ€™t waste time pick a different house speaker

  22. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever repents of all his sins (turns from sins) and calls on the Name of the LORD, will be saved. He who died on a cross for the sins of the world, rose from the dead on the third day, and by His blood, whoever repents and believes, has full redemption of sins and eternal life.
    Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess Jesus the Christ now as your Lord and be saved, because you broke the law but He paid your fine with His life's blood.

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal. This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins.)

  23. is Mcarthy a pedo liek pelosi?a leech . a rhino, a traitor to the people? a mass muderer?

  24. Kevin McCarthy has raised millions to help elect many of these 20 who are now stabbing him in the back. So much for gratitude, but thatโ€™s about what you would expect from politicians.

  25. Can't wait to see McCarthy pack up his stuff and move out of the speaker's office. He definitely jumped the gun.

  26. Enjoying my popcorn and beer ,

  27. I say call it nowโ€ฆ.heโ€™s had enough triesโ€ฆ.throw in the towel !!

  28. How many times does it take for McCarthy to get the message ?
