How the fuck does someone get 15 chances to win an election? How the fuck do republicans take the house and end up being led by a democrat from California? The Republican Party is literally 90% RINOs who openly hate their constituents. Someone tell me again why we shouldn’t start a third party. Because we’d lose? Does it look like we’re winning?

How the fuck does someone get 15 chances to win an election?

It reminds me of Brexit and to a lesser extent the 2016 election. Just keep repeating the election until elites get the outcome they want.

From a purely realistic standpoint anyone else who could have gotten the votes needed would have been worse than McCarthy. I'm wondering what they did to get Gaetz and Boebert to back down. I was reading that it almost came to blows on the House floor, and of course the Democrats have a habit of murdering inconvenient people. I wonder if the red side of the uniparty had their Democrat butt buddies threaten to Foster their asses if they didn't cut it out.

Charlie Kirk is claiming that DJT had them all on the phone making deals - https://twitter.com/charliekirk11

Zerohedge has a worthy article - https://www.zerohedge.com/political/were-going-shock-you-mccarthy-confident-he-can-overcome-never-kevin-holdouts-speaker

It was massively entertaining when near fisticuffs broke out among the ruling class rabble-rousers. Congress hasn't been this alive in decades.

Not to mention the whole fuss around the EU Lisbon Treaty and the EU Nice Treaty, where the EU's response to losing a couple of referenda about turning the EU from a trade zone into a giant over-arching continental bureaucracy that happened to have a government attached, was the Lisbon Treaty. The EU's response to the lack of public support for their first attempt, the Nice Treaty, was to stop asking the public

Gaetz openly asked McCarthy for a Committee placement. At which point the junior Republican from Alabama tried to kill Gaetz with his bare hands.

If McCarthy is a Democrat, how can you claim that "Republicans took the House"?

Bizarre comment. My entire point was that 90% of the GOP don’t represent their voters.

If 90% of GOP don't represent their voters, it should not be surprising that a "Democrat" (a GOP who doesn't represent his voters) becomes speaker, correct?

I love the media dropping the mask and calling out the conservatives for trying to stymy the Republicans. I thought the Republican party was a bunch of far-right fascists, media? Now you're bitching about the conservatives not getting on board? You for real?

Screw you for sabotaging the far-right fascists. Literal terrorism.

No, no, now the Republicans are basically all Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney, according to the media; they're poor victims of a few extremists, but Republicans are actually moderates, you see?!

As usual, the media flip flopping to fit a narrative is pathetic.

It's the media giving them an out to try to rock the baby back to sleep.

Gotta love the media. Maybe I’m wrong but I’ve never heard the “mainstream” media ever refer to AOC as far left or Maxine Waters as an ultra liberal

Since McCarthy is a DNC meat puppet this means Nancy is back in charge.

They even used the Dems election process. Keep manufacturing votes until you win.

McCarthy is a career politician who wants to be in office. Nothing more, nothing less. He has no ideology, which makes him a good vehicle for getting what you want.

Which votes were manufactured?

personally confronted GOP Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Lauren Boebert of Colorado.

Did you see that Rodgers bitch actually have to get held back? Peak entertainment! There's so many good videos and photos, and I'm sure there'll be even better memes and edits.

Veronica Cartwright's character in Witches of Eastwick says all that needs to be said about this faggot and the traitors in the house:

The WEF hand-picked him to be speaker before a single ballot was cast. He was always going to be speaker, even if they had to find 20 democrats to break rank.

Of course. The swamp will always get their way.

It remains to be seen if the house rule changes the 20 holdouts were demanding get put in place.

That would have quite negative consequences that McCarthy doesn't want to deal with.

Me, personally, I doubt it,

I'll say there's a 95% chance that they'll get it. Maybe some nibbling on the edges or on ambiguities, but the main stuff will stand.

but that is because I have watched the GOP congress fuck me in the ass over and over again since 1996.

But GOP Congresses have also done good stuff, right?

that tells me what good stuff they did doesn't mean shit.

Agreed. But the solution is not to throw up your hands and give up, it's to do what these 20 Congressmen did. McCarthy just got a standing ovation for promising to investigate the politicization of the FBI. It's a good start, not?
