This is how suspicious I am of GOP establishment........... would they put this story out just so we get off their backs in saying NO to Kevin? I think they would.
The ONLY problem that I see with this is that any other Republican will have to work with Democrats in order to take the Speaker's Gavel. This means that unless they get the votes and then screw their Dem backers (and I'm perfectly fine with this) they will have to weaken their agenda to appease the Dems.
OR they'll vote for a Democrat Speaker.
McCarthy should NOT be Speaker but I'm not sure what an adequate trade-off would be.
McCarthy has to be punished for the way he undermined MAGA candidates in 2022. You cannot have a leader in a party when that leader helped reduce the number of seats held by that party - that is totally antithetical to the concept. He is a disgusting swamp creature and I look forward to the time when whatever it is the pedovores have on him is made public. It would be better for Liz Cheney to be made Speaker than to have McCarthy rewarded with high office for his betrayal of the base.
Cheney would be completely contrary to the point you just made about McCarthy. She voted to impeach a Republican president, worked with Dems on the phony J6 committee, and endorsed Democrat candidates. I think that's 100 times worse than McCarthy just being a wuss.
Well not really. Cheney has outed herself as a deep state collaborator with her membership of the J6 committee. McCarthy is still (to the normies anyway) trying to present the front that he is a staunch Republican. The most dangerous enemies are the ones who pose as your friends so that they can stab you in the back. Cheney can't do that. McCarthy can. Also he is going to continue to suppress votes for MAGA candidates as speaker - Cheney can't - she is the lamest of lame ducks. But as I'm sure you know I wasn't advocating Cheney for speaker - I was citing her name as a horrible choice for a Republican speaker - my point was about McCarthy's treason not going unpunished (or rewarded). Also, being part of the FTX money laundering and supporting Dems over Republicans is a long, long way from merely "being a wuss". But at least we can have civil debate on this forum and exchange viewpoints - for which I am thankful.
Nuff said, except for the Liz Cheney part. 😎
My concern is 20 rinos vote for the dim for speaker.
Excellent concern. Somebody should have a word with them to the effect: "If you vote for the Democrat, you are political dead meat. You will not be on any Republican committee of substance and we will poison-pill your district to prevent your re-election." And if you vote for the Democrat and fail, we will do that and more."
McCarthy should be the last one to be speaker
I have come to liken him to Charlie McCarthy, another ventriloquist's dummy. I think we should refer to him as "Charlie" McCarthy. Those who get it will know. Those who don't know will look it up---and get it.
Get rid of the RINOS. The Uniparty needs to die. These butt clowns have jerked us around long enough.
It just now came to mind. We need to push out the RINOs...like they are pus. There are those who would take this metaphor a step further, but I think the idea of them being a pustulence is both suitable and okay for polite company.
I guess I don't get any New Testament points for being charitable...
McCarthy was smart in that he Found MTG's price and paid it so she can get on Bannon's war room and pitch the fear porn to the posse. He Knows If he can flip Bannon to his side most will follow.
REALLY disappointed she's buying into the bullshit. How could anyone trust McCarthy after everything he's done against America First?
McCarthy is making lots of backroom deals with conservatives to secure the gavel. It is called politics and that is how the game is played on the hill. We don't have to like it but all this arm twisting may actually get us some committee chairs and investigations. Allowing the MAGA people to have a bit more control is the price McCarthy is willing to pay.
But will MAGA lawmakers Really Have Any Power when their investigations roll over stones that McCarthy and the UniParty want to remain Hidden from public view? Kevin McCarthy can Not be trusted with this power!
It is not about whether he can be trusted or not - of course he can't be trusted. But, there are not enough MAGA people in the House to run the show. We have some power, but not enough. If MAGA gets their heels dug in too much, the Dems and a few RINOs could actually install their own Speaker. Therefore, MAGA is going to have to make some deals - like it or or not.
dont forget mcconel et al

BRING IN THE STORM SPEAKER
