I am angry at the whole charade.
If the whole thing burned down, it would short term hurt us all, and long term at least give us the chance to build something better.
I will no longer reflexively defend the GOP anymore. That ship has sailed.
Dan Crenshaw effectively called me a terrorist. I am sick to my stomach.
Discovered my rep Weber voted McCarthy. I called and let a message saying my household doesn't support that vote.
Let them have their field day for now. The day of justice where they will be held to account will come --- in this life or the next.aviationag said:

They all deserve convictions and then the gallows as far as I am concerned for crimes against the America people ... starting with Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff.

Some truth to that. But how many did it due to a lack of options? How many felt good about it? How many are watching this clown show today rooting for the twenty going against the establishment? Even the ones just sent back.
they had options in the primaries and the actual election. they chose to go with whom they did. they could have chosen not to vote if they held these candidat4s in such "low regard".
i do not think some of you realize how middle-of-the-road the actual majority of "Republican party" voters really are.
Without some data supporting your assumptions, there is no way to draw the conclusion that they are middle of the road. In fact, there may be many many more who AREN'T middle of the road than you suspect.
Hell "Adjourn" couldn't even get to 218. Only got 216. 214 terrorists voted against it.
This is a tough crowd.

The "Taliban Twenty", as the "obstructionist" are called, know that it will be business as usual if McCarthy is elected.
The Democrats have already called for "common ground". Where was this "common ground" when they held the House?

I am a Christian that actually believes the Bible. It teaches that evil will be punished. Evil is punished in this life often by the law or by natural or societal consequences. But for those who get through this life without being held to account for their crimes and evil deeds, their punishment is either one of two places ---shiftyandquick said:You sound like the Taliban.

1) On the cross with Jesus (If they trust in Christ and repent of sin)
2) In hell for eternity where they get their just punishment.
This is nothing but standard 2000 year old Christian doctrine that most Americans believed in prior to say 1970. So what makes it 'like the Taliban' in any way? The comparison is ludacrous.
OK...THAT is AWESOME!!!FbgTxAg said:

Regardless of who you want to be Speaker of the House, calling your colleagues, especially members of the same party, “Terrorists” is a bit much..

Hannity is mad…. He wants McCarthy apparently…
Hannity meltdown is awesome.
He's been mad for two days. Almost all of Fox. The only one I've seen them bring on is Bobo.TX04Aggie said:

It's great.. She's clowning this Rino, Trump loving clown
Hannity is basically threatening her lol
That was epic. Kudos to boebert, Hannity looked like the fool he is. I rarely watch him, because I cant stand him. I am surprised Gowdy is so pro McCarthy… guess he got the Fox memo..

It's almost like they have a lot riding on McCarthy being elected speaker... because otherwise, you just *****d yourself out to some random dude who can't give you a committee appointment / sweep things under the rug long enough for you to get your share of the action.

Eyepatch McCain is the epitome of establisment swamp trash.
He's a WEF guy. One of their "Young Global Leaders." He got called out about it and his picture and bio conveniently disappeared off their 2019 list.
I'd like to ask people like Hannity and Gowdy, why does McCarthy have to be speaker? Why is that a requirement when 20 republicans are so opposed to it? Why can't they work together to find someone that is acceptable to 218 republicans? If the answer is that there is no one like that, then why is that the fault of these 20 congressmen, and not all 222 republicans?
I don't see this as a clown show at all. I see it as a valid political negotiation that happens constantly in Washington, only this time, it might actually be for some good and more integrity in congress instead of purely about money and power.

While this is mostly true, it demonstrates the importance of what these 20 are trying to do even more. Because the only real power the House will have is withholding money, and that's a big part of what these guys are trying to do - keep things from being business as usual and forcing some real negotiation and progress by controlling funding.C@LAg said:
at the end of the day, all of this is pointless because whatever the "republican house" manages to pass will automatically be shot down by the dems who vote as a block. always. even manchin.
so this is people pissing in the wind doing nothing else but getting piss all over themselves.
Just wait until the first budget impasse.
This kind of stuff happens all the time in a parliamentary system except it doesn't determine the leader of the country.
People want a third party well what's going on is sort of like having a third party.

Hannity sucks...as does Gowdy...that is all. Go Lauren Boehbert...
She owned him.TX04Aggie said:

He is losing his mind.
And he needs to start thinking about why.....
I am sure her and her family are worried about Hannity....... have you seen their family photo?Seabreeze said:
