It’s “clear” that his own party doesn’t trust him.
It’s called democracy.
They are negotiating. So why will he be Speaker?
Nancy is free to babysit her husband now
@Voix de la raison Fedsurecction 😂😂
@747Heavy Boeing A TRAITOR is a TRAITOR. Any individual, Gov. Official, or President who participated in the Fake Electors Coup or caused the Violent Attack on Congress Committed TREASON upon America. ✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Voix de la raison Nancy Pelosi denied troops.
She’s the cause genius
@747Heavy Boeing Not Treasonous Trump who ordered the Attack or organized the Fake Electors Failed Coup? ✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s the 14 hardliners who flipped McCarthy not the otherwise round. They got him to change his stand.
FOX is MSM
@August Kling Yet “Fos” (is that a broken Fox?) is an international [Murdoch] joke, which recently received instructions to abandon Drumph and his bs. Maybe the likes of Hannity having to testify under oath (that he “never believed the Big Lie”), gave them a wake-up call!
That must hurt!
@R Wags Nope. No Fox…..I would be as ignorant as you watching CNN.
Neither one tells anyone what the real hold up is…..What do they want?
They asked for some crazy stuff….one of them was term limits!
@R Wags Yes, this debacle hurts. That’s just the way a democracy or an imperium has to go. The USA is ruled by the German Klaus Schwab now. What comes after Klaus Schwab?
@It’s what plants crave why some because it gets them on the news helps with fundraising and makes them more popular with the folks at hoe and some I’m sure have actual ideological differences but I bet that is a small part of a small part
McCarthy wants the Speakership so bad he is offering himself up as a hostage to his own party. Pathetic
Republican VICTORY!!! McCarthy wins Speaker of the House!!! The deplorable Dem/Libs lose.
@Fkthe Demlibscum one man victory maybe his lost. He sold his dignity and made promises that will back fire watch remember I warn you. If he doesn’t give those insurrectist what they want they will fight like hell ask Trump!!!!
@Helen Bridges … Obviously, you watch too much Fake News and believe everything they say… So funny, but you D/L’s deserve to lose…. Just like you all will lose the White House in 2025.
@Fkthe Demlibscum what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and sell his soul🥵
@Helen Bridges …. Only the evil D/L sc*m makes false claims…. In reality, the D/L’s already proved they are all evil….. They started this war in 2016, and they demonstrated their violence over the past 6 years by rioting, looting, committing arson, and killing people all over the country…. and remember kathy Griffin holding the bloody severed head of the President? and Johnny Depp wanting an actor to assassinate the President, and Snoop Dog shooting the president in his music video, and Madonna wanting to BLOW UP the White House, and the stage play where they all were repeatedly stabbed the President to death, etc., etc., etc…. and of course the Fake News & many shows constantly bashing & bashing & bashing the President 24/7/365 for 6 long years….. Yes, the D/L’s are extremely evil people and need to be eradicated.
Kevin On A Leash!
With a ball gag in his mouth! I wonder what the safety word is?
You’re implying that he’s house trained, which has never been proven.
He LOST the 13th vote too!!! ON TO THE NEXT PERSON I say!!!
Wow unbelievable praying he doesn’t get it,this is sad
It might be worse if one of the other Maga radicals gets it … but these rules changes are going to create a pit of vipers … the good news is that no matter what they pass in the House, the Senate doesn’t have to even vote on it …
Even if he gets the Speakership, I doubt that he holds it more than a couple months
He will be voted out in favor of a whakadoodle by spring break!
@Heather Hennessee You wish
He doesn’t want to move out Nancy Pelosi’s Speaker of the House offices as a LOSER. TK
@747Heavy Boeing He won’t make the end of 2023. “Count” on it.
I give him 45 minutes before Gaetz calls it..
By the time Kev gets the position his only duties will be to bring the coffee and donuts and clean up the spills.
Then they’ll fire him in a month.
He gave up so much they go by Karen McCarthy now.
i think so
😂😅
It’s comical seeingow information comments here. Yet you support a senile, corrupt POTUS😂😂😂
Bruh. This will be the shortest Speakership even if he does win. He won’t be able to do anything that one hold out won’t unseat him for
And it doesn’t even have to be one of the holdouts. It could be any member and the things the holdouts wanted like Biden family investigations, are only gonna make the GOP look even dumber than they look now. Party is looking super clownish right now.
yet nancy lived on for years like the crawling snake she is
I mean the only thing import is raising the debt ceiling. The republicans can’t do anything on their own all they can do is bitching about Hunter Biden all day. Which nobody outside of the ultra right Universe cares about.
He didn’t flip them, they flipped him. This is the epitome of soul selling. He’ll pay for this in the end. True sign of weakness! I would be too embarrassed to go on. It’s all about clout and power. Kevin is a bought man!
Found another democrat whiner with zero understanding and zero concern about record breaking crimes & murders in multiple democrat controlled cities. Typical.
They should put Jim Jordan instead?
@Teresa Hartling stop talking now. You have no clue what you are talking about. Seriously
EXACTLY 💯% CORRECT
@Ronnie Delahoussaye Chauvin can you remind what crimes “they” were accused for or stood trial?
He didn’t flip them. He gave in to their demands.
@Lexy Swope Bias isn’t hate speech.
@salty gen x I just make crap up. I have no idea what I’m 73 and live in my wheel estate. What? Me worry. Still waiting for my last issue of mad magazine. My favorite political rag. Thanks for asking.
@Unhappy didn’t say your feelings were hurt sunshine, I said “all up in your feelings”. As in you might want to change your manpon.
@salty gen x no
@Unhappy 🤣
McCarthy didn’t flip them, they flipped him…via concessions.
Kevin is a sick man I say anything for power. He has just showed the world he has no morals of character or power.
I wish American politicians would one day vote for the people they represent, instead of for power and money.
@ThatguywhocallsmeBill People should work and not rely on Government.
If you aren’t successful it’s your problem not governments.
@747Heavy Boeing brilliant! You’re so right, government doesn’t need to work for people to live, people just need to work! How do you get your rubbish removed, police solving crime, a building put out if it’s on fire, walk on a sidewalk or drive on a road? You build and service all these things all by yourself right? I can tell you never used the funds provided for education by the government too. Governments need to function for society to function. Read a book or look out your window.
Agree, the only way left is by Force The Vote.
thats NOT going to happen. They keep presenting people BOUGHT and paid for who go into these jobs…working like it;s all about creating opportunities for themselves. There should BE NO LOBBYISTS….NO POLITICIANS in office making ANY side money. it;s all corrupt but the world can see it.
Wishful thinking.
From hold-outs to sell-outs. What backbones they have!
That’s been evident all through the 🍊🤡
‘presidency.’
He didn’t flip anything. He bent over for them.
kissy kissy kissy talking about no character.
@Cris bro what? Lmao
Fisted by the extreamists…
@Daniel Whitehead his hole must be large by now.
@Kathleen Austin why? because he’s a plumber?
Remember this is the party of flipping AND flopping. Anything can happen.
And right wing democratic leadership say they support unions and then screw over rail workers demanding a few days of sick leave like politicians already get. We need an insider trading ban
Isn’t that more so the DNC? They attacked every single foreign policy Trump made, and have adopted all of them. I thought Trump’s China tariffs would cost millions of jobs, so why did Joe renew it?
This is the closest to a consensus we’ve ever seen in our politicians. Won’t last.
It would be so hilarious if those last seven holdouts would vote Democratic just to piss the hell out of McCarthy.
Boebert and Gaetz voting Dem? Hell would freeze over first.
You have quite an imagination.
McCarthy didn’t flip 14 Gop’s …they flipped him( off) 🤣🤣
