That is no way how to vote for a speaker in room that should be on the ballot
Nothing is easy with this new GOP..
It's truly exposing them for who and what they really are, and they keep exposing more and more horrible, vengeful behavior, even amongst themselves…
It's F@#&@$g UNBELIEVABLE!!!! 🤮
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 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…)
Gop
Like the Republicans care about helping working families.
The Senate and White House have been in disarray? I guess you resort to Whataboutism if you don't have a proper answer.
Dream on about having Democrats vote for Kevin McCarthy. You seem to be forgetting the recent history of the ring kisser. McCarthy is a disgusting individual.
OH MY GODDDDD!!!! This guy! Rep Salazar the other day with socialism and fentanyl! And this guy with the southern border! 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ if all Americans are worried about “putting food on the table” how does the southern border and fentanyl and socialism compute!?
It just sounds like you’re spewing talking points!
Lol….complains about inside baseball and backroom deals….his solution…go behind closed doors, lock the doors, and strike a backroom deal…
The republican party is the biggest joke, not only in the USA, but the world as well!
What does "white smoke" mean? Is it ANOTHER racial code word…
As an American, I don't like paying my EMPLOYEES to act like this and not do their jobs 🎯🎯🎯🎯
No its just as important as a presidency
Elect Kevin McCarthy and he will destroy you and you will deserve it….he is just another trump, ONLY for himself, he has no core and does NOT deserve the position at all especially after embracing trump and the January 6th.
Wants to investigate people who told the truth.
Wants to impeach Biden for no reason…get real, that is not speaker material.
He is more about himself and revenge!
Also who wants a speaker tgat ignores CONGRESSIONAL SUBPOENAS…
Simple fix Gonzalez is for
10 or 12 DECENT republicans vote for Jeffries!!
You get rid of the power hungry much despised McCarthy that wants this position so bad that one has to wonder WHY because it's definitely NOT for the good of the government, country or the people.
Voting for Jeffries would show good faith of wanting to work with democrats to get things done for the country and people.
Voting for Jeffries would also shut down trump and the crazies..
There is no reason why you cant have a democrat speaker in a republican house!!
ALSO wasn't the only reason republicans won the house was because of their redistricting scheme anyway???
The AMERICAN people are sick of you the republicans we don’t trust you when you took WOMENS RIGHTS away you will lose elections
American people? It is no more people. It is one man's personal interest. Its getting really dirty now. Imagine what Mc is going to do after all this if he wins. Its going to turn as a revenge politics. Gop has taken america to a wrong path and it is done. The law makers clapping and felt great halting the house. This is thr GOP and this is Anerican politics.
The Republicans can not negotiate with themselves. Perhaps, they should negotiate with the Democrats to elect a Speaker.
Step down Kevin…ya beat!
Your Caucus GOP'S is dysfunctional, they highjacked theirs own Caucus. The World 🌎 is Watching..how embarrassing your Caucus. Kevin, it's better for him to withdraw….it's very sad America 🇺🇸!!GOP'S quack quack quack period. No actions..
Oh please – these reps can stop trying to claim they need to "get to work". We all know as soon as they get a speaker they'll start more gridlock and more grandstanding, just on other subjects. They can stop trying to act like they ran on a platform of policy ideas because the reps don't do that.
This guy is out of touch. It's not "only a fraction" of the party. No one wanted McCarthy to be speaker in 2012, 2015, and he's 0 for 6 in 2022
