The last 3 days have seen the most fiscally responsible congress we've had in maybe 100 years.FireAg said:

The House can achieve all of those things while having a more principled Speaker. This has the potential to be a seminal moment in politics (and our Country). The Freedom Caucus needs to press onward.

Super deep, bro.
So from what I've gathered, in order for their to be a functioning House, there must be a speaker.
For some reason there is a voice in my head suggesting that there is some vote the house is scheduled to have regarding their own pay. Maybe in Feb.???? Can you imagine them postponing that? I would bet our 20 will.

Exactly, and we are seeing it in action on the House floor, glad we agree.Ben Matlock said:javajaws said:She has more balls than all those RINOs put together.

Wife of Justice Thomas also agrees with the both of us.
It's also more than passing thousand page bills no one has read that put taxpayers on the hook for trillions of dollars.Ben Matlock said:javajaws said:She has more balls than all those RINOs put together.

Comments coming across twitter make it sound like some of the 20 have folded; however, we'll see when the votes are tabbed, I also think if we see a 3rd nomination here in a moment the applause will be a giveaway to the count of holdouts.
Mark Levin (who is against the 20, by the way) explained yesterday that they are unified in their opposition to McCarthy right now, but not unified in their purpose.McInnis 03 said:

He said there are several who want certain concessions and then will agree to vote for McCarthy, several in a second category, and then maybe three who say they will never agree to McCarthy.
Why are they voting multiple times a day without knowing what the results will be? Isn't it more important for a leader to negotiate all terms prior to vote than voting and hoping to get the results they want?
Ted Cruz brought up on his podcast today that the house would be in recess if it wasn't for this so I like dragging it out as it isn't affecting anything else but their time at home.

Jordan nominated again.

Because that's the only thing they CAN do until they're all sworn in. And they can't do that till they have a speaker.
So I'm good with it going 6-7 years.
Lots of R's walking out on Gaetz.
And now Hearn.
GOD BLESS MATT GAETZ!

Burn it down.
Gaetz is definitely one of the ones milking it. Though still the least of the problems in Congress.cgh1999 said:

The applause for the Hern and the Jordan nominations were almost non-existent. Did McCarthy pull this off?
Every single GOP rep walking out has just revealed themselves to be the frauds they are to Conservatism.
Someone flipped to McCarthy.
Bishop of NC just flipped from holdout to McCarthy.
Or some are just sick and tired of Gaetz's grandstanding.TheEternalPessimist said:

They're all milking it - but it's quite interesting watching them air the dirty laundry. Washington is broken. It's not the Peoples House.

Walking out on Gaetz doesn't mean anything, he's a gorka and pillow guy clown.
It's not grandstanding - it's true conviction.Rapier108 said:Or some are just sick and tired of Gaetz's grandstanding.TheEternalPessimist said:

2 flipped to McCarthy, think this might be done.
Another McCarthy flip in Brecheen.
Another flip. It's done
The real clowns are the ones who dismiss Gorka and the pillow guy.45-70Ag said:

McCarthy is the swamp...not a good sign...
Guess who the speaker would be if it was ranked choice like dumbass Alaska?
Jeffries
I can't believe Pelosi didn't change the format to that before she left.

If that's the face of this so called true conservative movement, it will never be taken serious.
Not so fast, it only takes 5 defectors.cgh1999 said:
