  1. This is what happens when one decides to be Trump’a little ho

  2. He lost the night vote too. Congress is now adjourned until noon tomorrow for yet another vote. Tonight he did get a few more yesses.

  3. 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 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.)

  4. The republicans are cancer to this nation. When will the American people wake up and toss these losers into a dumpster where they belong. Republicans are losers and so are their voters.

  5. Why don’t the democrats do a deal with McCarthy to prevent the extreme right getting concessions?

  6. And these idiots were voted in office what a scam

  7. This Red Wave just gets more and more satisfying. 😂🤣😅🤣

  8. "McCarthy fails ….", words that Kevin is going to hear a lot over the next two years.
    The Freedumb Caucus is showing the world just how incompetent the Republican party really is.

  9. 🤾‍♂️JIM JORDAN IS THE RIGHT MAN 🤾‍♂️
    🇺🇸🤾‍♂️

  10. Wow…this has gotta be THE toughest job interview ever….

  11. . . . . . when you ACTUALLY loose at winning . . . .

  12. I'm an independent voter, you in the major Media don't get it! We super duper dislike you! It has nothing to do with Trump! You are corrupt and we all know! 74% of Americans want term limits. Poll after poll. You represent only 26% of Americans. Furthermore, we all know the military complex starts wars for profit. You are all quite silly 😜

  13. How embarrassing, he needs just walk away!

  14. This is what you get from MAGA republicans……loss after loss after loss.

  15. NO means NO! They can vote one million times, and the answer will still be NO TO MCCARTHY! So proud of those in the GOP standing STRONG! FINALLY A BACKBONE HAS SURFACED.

  16. Failure and McCarthy are one and the same

  17. ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️….poor fella. 😔

  18. Have you ever seen a Republican with such a thorough sense of entitlement to a position he shouldn't ever hold?

    Never mind, I forgot about Trump… 🤣😂

  19. What happens if Jefferys get 218, he is close

  20. The Democrats should throw all their votes to their most desirable Republican and see how many Republicans would join to topple McCarthy.

  21. So the wasting of Americans tax dollars will be stalled for now????

  22. It seems Jim Jordan would win, easily, would have. J.J expressed support towards Kevin McCarthy, as perhaps a show of respect and a reluctance to change the political run, by any slant or favor. Unclear, if it could also be, J.J did not want to receive the election, the public support did seem, leaning towards him. We shall see what happens next.

  23. Republicans turning on eachother one Trumptard at a time.

  24. By the way the news is covering things i guess the Democrats wanted McCarthy in… lol
