McCarthy loses Speaker vote 3 times…

[Expat]

Because Trump isn't always right, and not everyone who likes Trump is in a cult.

The way I see it is him fishing for endorsements in a primary.

You guys just don’t understand. Trump plays the 4d chess, while everyone else struggles with checkers.

 

[1DOWN4UP]

If these 20 are wrong, then 202 GOP who agree with " FTX Kevin" must agree with business as usual which got us in this position in the first place......must be right.

"Rebels" by their very nature don't go along with the status quo. Neither should anyone be comfortable with the corrupt .gov establishment status quo. There needs to be a shake up and the 20 holdouts are going about it the right way by debating on the house floor and presenting alternatives to the status quo.

 

[KG1]

Well said newly elected Congresswoman from Fla.

Do not watch in front of children as you are sure to curse.

I dont know what has gotten into Hannity. Maybe Ainsley isnt giving up the boobs. Whatever it is you will want to throw the TV across the room. He is definitely showing his true colors.

At 16:30 is John James from Michigan. Holy **** is this guy a total piece of ****.

 

[chipbennett]

When does the mercy rule kick in?

They're nowhere near it. See the 34th Congress:

Speaker Elections Decided by Multiple Ballots | US House of Representatives: History, Art & Archives

The House has elected a Speaker 129 times since 1789. The Speaker is elected at the beginning of the new Congress by a majority of the Representatives-elect from a selection of candidates nominated on the floor prior to the vote. Usually, those candidates are chosen separately by the majority-...

McCarthy will need 123 more ballots to break the current record.

 

[TheTrooper]

McCarthy is just another WEF aligned globohomo subversive political terrorist.

The answer is to stop watching hannity specifically and Fox News generally since well before the last election.

They weren’t our friends then, it was just harder to see.

They’re not our friends now, but some still drink their kool aid and defend them.

For starters……

I'm not going to look up every one of these, but I did check on the House vote on HR 51, granting DC statehood. It passed on strictly party lines. Every donkey voted for it, every elephant (including McCarthy) voted against it.
Nor can I find anything about McCarthy voting to "use Medicare to fund USPS", other than a tweet that is now making the rounds via copy/paste.

In my opinion, we don't do our side any favors by spreading unsubstantiated tweets and memes. I'm sure that there are legitimate reasons to oppose McCarthy for Speaker; let's see them.

You can’t find any of this information because even AI is still trying to read through the omnibus that people already “read” and signed.

But you have to give Ainsley the 'gold digger of the decade' award. You go girl! Making bank as they say!

Lets repeat that for all those users that voted for this kind of crap- if there are any left.

Why is it so bad to see democracy in action? Isn't this how it is supposed to work.

 

[HoosierLife]

Yeah, when I first posted this, I was pissed.

Seems Dems always toe the line.

Why can’t the GOP take a win and move on.

But I think this debate is good.

Really reveals the Uniparty and Conservative media for who they really are.

I always like Hannity too. But he’s a douche for sure.

I don’t know what to think about Trump.

He just wants to win again I’d say. And finally figured out some of the political game.

We liked you better when you didn’t play the game…

You won't. Medicare can't pay for itself, let alone anything else

Much of Fox News is poison to conservatism just as CNN, et al are poison to everybody else.

They are Republican not Conservative.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

They are Republican not Conservative.

As I’ve said before, in my opinion conservatism is so diffuse and corrupted, it no longer means much anymore.

Conservatism definition “shouldn’t” change. Or if it does very slowly.
The r’s have co-opted the party and the movement to protect their interests and should be destroyed along with the d party.
And someone has to go first.

But that’s not really the point here, I think the point is that we shouldn’t let them change the definition of conservatism.

By that what I mean “what does it mean to be conservative?” This thread is about some conservatives arguing with other conservatives about who their leader in the House is going to be. Yeah, some are republicans that don’t claim to be ”conservative” but many on both sides ran on that label. Some of those “conservatives” voted to send Ukraine billions of dollars on top of the other billions of dollars we’ve already sent. They voted for the omnibus bill, voted for the gay bill, they voted for gun control, etc…. They will, with a straight face, next election cycle call themselves conservative and other conservatives will support them and stand behind them when they vote for them.

The main thing I see that conservatives are conserving is the blue vs red march to the left.

Pretty sure DC statehood isn't in any omnibus budget bill.
