House votes to remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker in historic first

Gaetz surrounded by media

House votes to remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker in historic first. Well, we don’t much like McCarthy, but in our opinion, this vote most likely won’t change jack shit. Yes, it’s historic, but the RINOs in the House will never vote for an America First Speaker they’d vote for a Democrat before that. Even if they did, @LeaderMcConnell will FUBAR everything the House sends over to the Senate. So, back to square one with a different Speaker. Update: ‘Shell shocked’ Kevin McCarthy will not run for House speaker again following removal. He must be butthurt.

  • Two things I found especially hilarious: one, Pelosi allegedly promised McCarthy that Democrats would not participate in ousting him, but then turned around and had Democrats vote to oust him, so the interim speaker (a McCarthy pal) immediately ordered her to vacate her special leadership office and go make do with a normal office; and two, one of the eight Republicans who voted to oust McCarthy was on the fence and praying about it, when McCarthy called him and immediately mocked his praying, whereupon the guy figured that was God telling him an answer and promptly voted against McCarthy.

      • There might be two or three people in the whole Congress I have any use for.

        I happened to be in Canada for the "standing ovation for a Nazi" fiasco and therefore got to watch the floundering mess that ensued close up, and their people are no better than our people. What a bunch of ignoramuses. When they introduced the guy they emphatically stated that he fought against Russia in World War II, and yet not one person in the whole building was educated on their own history enough to realize that meant he must have been on the Germans' side! So they stood and gave him a standing ovation! Later they learned not only was the guy a Nazi, he was a particularly obnoxious one, having actually been in the SS and having participated in some particularly obnoxious ethnic cleansing activities on Polish villagers. Plus he is an unrepentant Nazi with an active web page bragging about his WWII Nazi service! Sheesh.

        Trudeau blamed the fiasco on the speaker even though he himself was there and applauding too, and the Canadian speaker was forced to resign, and there you have it: both North American speakers getting booted in the course of about a week. Democracy seems to be imperiled by rampant stupidity.

  • Looks as if McLuntz F$%^ed around and Found Out. Found his lying ass bounced out of the speakership. Something he should have never had. His side deal with McTurtle and Xiden sealed his fate. As for the likes of Mark Levin, he is WRONG on this and should be applauding the process for getting rid of a limp rino, sewer rat, power whore like McLuntz. This should serve notice to all others who make proclamations and promises that they will be expected to keep them. Not just some half ass attempt. I do find it interesting that Boebert did not vote for his removal. Now you have MTG proclaiming the only person she will support is President Donald Trump. Hmmmm wonder why the change of position? Can it be that she fears the Trump Train is leaving the station and is about to zoom right on by her?
