Breaking: Senator Kevin McCarthy has now been booted from the Speaker of the House position. What will happen next?

[smahala1991]

The house voted 216-210 to out McCarthy from the Speaker of the House. What's this even over? The pro Temp speaker will be Patrick McHenry from North Carolina.

He is actually from my area of NC (the Charlotte metro area) and No I didn't vote for him

[ObscuredBeyond]

A move was made, on multiple counts, to impeach both Biden and Harris, as well as Obama and Joe's other handlers, regarding their multitudinous acts of malfeasance, misconduct, and blatant assaults on the Bill of Rights.

McCarthy sat on it, then at the last minute, told the GOP his intentions to do absolutely nothing about it. Offenses listed miles long, billions of times worse than what Trump got impeached for TWICE OVER!

Blatant dereliction of duty! This includes cutting wires that Texans paid millions for, leaving the southern border unprotected against headhunting gangs of sadists from Mexico that have essentially declared war on America! Had anyone not a modern Democrat done that, it would be called TREASON! But because it's Joe and Barry, we're told to look the other way!

The headhunters are now in New York causing trouble, to the point that even New York believes that the border is too open!

And then there is the current irresponsible spending that Congress has been doing for a long time.

McCarthy became speaker on the grounds that he would restore sanity to our spending. He took pains to do the opposite, and showed contempt for his own party when confronted about it.

He also had no emotion when Democrats tried to protect their interests with illegally pulling a fire alarm to disrupt a legal proceeding, yet expected zero consequences for this!

Bear in mind , McCarthy and Democrats would have you believe pulling a stunt like that to disrupt proceedings that would protect Americans from embezzlement by crooked politicians is somehow not an act of insurrection!

But they're fine charging a teen with insurrection and putting him in federal prison for 17 years for shaking a fence out of frustration, when he disrupted or destroyed nothing by shaking it! And even pressed charges on his friends for being his friends, convicting them of conspiracy in spite admission to having no clear evidence, even when one of those friends had an airtight alibi!

For this and more, McCarthy not only deserved to be ousted, but deserves to be criminally charged for high crimes and misdemeanors against the republic! Along with all the Democrats he has been protecting!

Klaus Schwab is an enemy of all existence. His pawns in US government need to be terminated with extreme prejudice!!!

I would ask for proof of your claims, but since your lord and master gets his news from Fox (as the least partisan news source he watches) and Twitter, I doubt you have anything that is substantial. If it was, I would have to act as would those who work for me. Yet with great power comes great responsibility, and we have a lot of power and thus equal responsibility.

[ObscuredBeyond]

@Twalli : Sons of Liberty broke the story about the wire being cut. And if the first thing your mind goes to is "was Fox News involved?", then you don't have the brain cells necessary to comprehend the big picture.

[Twalli]

Never said that I said that was the least partisan news source that Trump listened to regularly.

[loveslongnails]

LOL The Sons of Liberty. Now there's a reliable source, about as good as the Twatsees for Liberty or Daughters of the Confederacy/Revolution. LMAO Not that I'm protecting the Dems as a whole either, but clearly, they are the lesser of two evils at this point. The Dems are willing to leave crumbs on the table so the real working class can survive, stay on the treadmill, and continue to entertain the illusion of the American Dream. They will also give you a certain amount of personal freedoms. The Repubs will take ALL of that away. Don't bother telling they're not doing it as we speak.

The "Big Picture", dude, is chaos replaced by authoritarian rule, and the REAL puppet masters don't care much about which system is in place. The R's are removing, illegally per state action I will add, more personal choices and freedoms every day. This doesn't bother you, but rather, who is getting more pay off? THAT bothers you? One far left judge does "X" and he's wrong. One far right judge does "Y" and they're wrong too. But somehow, this strengthens your finger pointing at one side over the other?

[ObscuredBeyond]

@loveslongnails : The big picture is that foreign enemies have made us a free for all, and Congress is more concerned with what they can personally gain from it than they are with preserving the one thing that is to be their post to defend: the freedom to do what God's law permits.

Trump clearly didn't pay attention to Bradlee Dean. Because Dean frequently showed Trump to be a false messiah, frequently in bed with the same enemies he pretended to want to protect us from.

The red flag laws are proof of that. It'd also be foolish to call Democrats the lesser evil given they've expanded child trafficking like never before. And what's the point of scraps for the working man if cars now run on social credit and parents have no rights? What about your gas stove?

Rather than suggest that makes Republicans, who have been complacent with a lot of these atrocities for the sake of fake manners, are somehow greater or lesser in evil, you should ask yourself why you're willing to tolerate any evil.

[loveslongnails]

You're barking about gas stoves? Democrats "expanding" child trafficking? Utter nonsense. Puleeeze. by the way, it's R's who are removing parent's rights and the rights of people to even exist. DeSatan removing kids from parents if they try to get them gender affirming care, and placing them in fucked up foster care homes? Wtf.

As for tolerating evil, when you tell us all HOW we're supposed to DO something about ridding our system of the evil men who control it, instead of just raging against the machine, then you'll be saying something.

[ObscuredBeyond]

@loveslongnails : Gender affirmation is chromosomes, not feelings. Saving children from being trafficked by pedophiles, and putting pedophiles to death, is what he is SUPPOSED to be doing as governor, being the only one to still do any part of his job correctly!

The fact that you speak from the point of view of Gnostic degenerates tells me you have zero credibility in anything else you say.

All those kids who detransitioned, whom your vile ilk abandoned to die, called "spoiled brats," or even mailed death threats to? You owe them an apology you sick f**k!!!

But I know they won't get one. If the FBI still functioned properly, they'd have bazooka'd your front door in by now, and had you appearing in court in a Hannibal Lecter mask!

[ObscuredBeyond]

@loveslongnails : By the way, I'm saving a permanent archive of your pedophilia lies advocacy, and my last rebuttal. So don't even think of trying to get anyone to censor this history!

[loveslongnails]

You sir, are in NO position to pass judgements on anyone. Your lack of information regarding the science that supports what happens in the brain regarding gender is astonishing, yet typical. Your use of the word pedophile is equally as ridiculous, and it's apparent you don't have a clue about its meaning.

You sir, are nothing less than a Nazi, spreading fear and ignorance while claiming to hold some divine or ethically moral high ground. You would impose your views by force, as you indicate here:" If the FBI still functioned properly, they'd have bazooka'd your front door in by now, and had you appearing in court in a Hannibal Lecter mask", which is EXACTLY what Hitler did to whomever he deemed an enemy.

You sir, and those who "think", and I use the term loosely, like you ARE the problem. Yet, in a sane world, those of us who disagree with you would not exile, ban or forbid you to live as you wish. You however, would do that, and are doing just that, a. k. a. DeSatan and your Heritage Foundation, as you attempt to make America into Gilead. You're a disgusting individual. Archive that, sfb.

[ObscuredBeyond]

@loveslongnails : What happens in the brain doesn't negate chromosome reality. It means that our environment full of unnatural bombardment of radiation, unnatural ingredients in food, and unnatural dogma rammed down the throats of children by Marxist terrorists eventually fouls up brain chemistry.

A zillion such wrongs are still never capable of making what you want a right. Time to make frogs straight again!

[normalice]

Now it will be an all hands on deck attempt by right wing media to blame democrats for not shielding Republicans from the responsibilities that come with having power, in return for nothingat all. If the messaging sticks then we will remain without a speaker until the 2024 election and all of the fallout from that will also be blamed on democrats as part of the Republicans 2024 campaign ads.

However, if the messaging doesn't stick then Republicans will try to nominate a "worse" speaker than Mccarthy, in a "look what you made me do" messaging strategy. The problem with this is there isn't a worse speaker than Mccarthy because what made Mccarthy bad was the fact that he was 100% untrustworthy, which makes him equally as untrustworthy as Jim Jordan, boebert, mtg, gosar... any of these could be speaker and the benefit to democrats and the American people would still be the same as it was under Mccarthy - which is to say zero.

It is not up to democrats to shield republican voters from the consequences of having republican leaders. It is up to republican voters to grow the f up and either start voting for only the Republicans who take their oaths and responsibilities seriously or, if there aren't any such to be found, just vote Democrat.

[strateguy632]

without a speaker? but asker said mchenry. and since rnc majority they can do anything unstoppable not paralyzed.

[normalice]

@strateguy632 McHenry is a temp speaker. His responsibilities and powers are severely restricted.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I don't know much about McHenry but I'm crossing my fingers he's, at least, effective unlike useless McCarthy.

[AviatorTom]

Some Republicans didn't like that McCarthy caved into some of the Democrats' demands when avoiding the government shutdown. Per new rules established just this past January (that's what helped McCarthy get enough votes to be named Speaker), only one Representative can call for an ouster vote, and that's what happened. Voting was mostly along party lines, with Republican Representatives basically getting rid of their leader.

Now, McHenry is Speaker pro tempore and will serve in that post until a new Speaker is voted in. Interestingly, McCarthy could be voted back in as Speaker. Until a new vote is held, McHenry (as pro tem) has most of the powers of a real Speaker.

[JawnSmith]

The most rightwing faction of the Republican Party was dissatisfied with his speakership and moved to oust him. However, the overwhelming majority of Republicans still supported him. He was hoping the Democrats would come rescue him from the rightwing insurgency within his own party, but it’d make no sense for them to do so after he approved an impeachment inquiry into the president despite the fact that no congressional investigations have discovered any evidence of wrongdoing by Biden.

Essentially, far-right Republicans wanted him gone for allegedly not attacking the Democrats, while the Democrats wanted him gone for misusing an impeachment inquiry just to attack them, just to satisfy a petty need for revenge after Trump got impeached twice for crimes he actually committed.

[strateguy632]

but your theory does NOT match the votes. good fiction for a blog though.

[exitseven]

Nobody knows what will happen next. It was an unfortunate turn of events that needed to be done. The House has the ability to influence the direction of the country by controlling the flow of money. McCarthy should have been more aggressive in reigning in spending and stopping the more crazy democrat policies.

[RealMarek]

The problem is that there is a standoff between the neoliberal/neoconservative Republicans of McCarthy’s ilk and the populist GOP base. There is a small chance that the handful of populist rebels will refuse to support any candidate approved by the GOP establishment. If that happens, they might even throw their votes to Hakeem Jeffries in protest. Imagine: a Democrat speaker with a Republican-majority House. Basically, it would cripple the chamber.

[DryGermanGuy]

This current breed of radical GOP members ("Freedom Caucus", yeah right) is nuttier than a fruit cake. What is that going to achieve for them?

[strateguy632]

if they show voters consistency and "values" they attract voters for reelection. this can motivate the congress people to do beneficial stuff.

[Still-alive]

More infighting among republicans you can be sure if that. Im enjoying the show personally hehe 🍿

[strateguy632]

Gary Palmer rnc alabama, seems to have good policy as well as MUCH experience in leadership and plenty of Congress experience since 2014. i hope they nominate him and he might be the best leader.

[Anonymous]

McCarthy caved and agreed to spend money we don't have without concessions. Thus making him an unfit leader.

[msc545]

Some other Republican asshole/fascist/bigot will become speaker and the even bigger assholes/fascists/bigots of the so-called Freedom Caucus will immediately demand he start working on a bill to have salvery reinstituted.

[ObscuredBeyond]

Spit out the Tide Pods! What Schwab and other elitists have been doing to us through ESG, and this corrupt irresponsible embezzling Congress, IS slavery! It's Book of Exodus Pharaoh enslaving the Hebrews type slavery!

[loveslongnails]

The Repugnicans are such a worthless bunch.

[captain_voidwalker]

Awesome. Thats what he gets for selling out the American people and cutting backroom deals with far leftists. Maybe now we can get a speaker with a spine.

[shortster]

The Dems will try and get Jeffries. The Rhinos will try to get someone else like McCarthy. The freedom caucus will want someone like Margery Taylor Green. Who knows who will be successful.

[strateguy632]

seeing wikipedia paint C. Green bad, she is probably best to lead.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

All hell will break loose now. Hahaha

[OddBeMe]

Even less work by our elected and well paid congress. Paralysis extremis.

[strateguy632]

that is not how things work. they get a temporary leader. but a shut down or a debt default would be paralysis. better to switch leaders and try to solve it.

[OddBeMe]

@strateguy632 they vote and vote and make speeches and nothing will get done. There is only so much time to write actual bills in a congressional term. And they used it fighting over Ukraines.01% funding and Biden’s kid.

[strateguy632]

nothing... that you know of but rnc majority is unstoppable so will get stuff done.
instead of echoing star wars film, go to see congress website every day new stuff, not paralyzed

[OddBeMe]

@strateguy632 Star Wars? Huh? RNC is unstoppable? No. Good marketing, yes. Dems have horrible marketing. If Dems were smart they’d hire AOC and Greta to run their marketing and PR. Lol

[Anonymous]

They need to make that fucked up, lying ass Brazilian Congressman Santos the Speaker of the House.

[strateguy632]

but he is governor somewhere

[Anonymous]

My guess is they'll pick him as the next Speaker.

[LivingExample]

The Republican have NO unity at all!

[ObscuredBeyond]

Good. The GOP has been infested with frauds for decades. About time they started taking out the garbage. Such a McCarthy. Now if only RICO could be used against Romney for his laundering to child sex trafficking in Ukraine.

[strateguy632]

which is a praise, good to offer various directions. in contrast to tow the party line.

[rigmarole]

Jim Jordan (JJ) 10:10

[rigmarole]

[Tessafowler03]

A war between republicans

[ObscuredBeyond]

If not, then the diabolical Uniparty keeping you and everyone else in their Matrix will only continue to grow like an unholy hydra.

I'm glad to see the GOP admit it has cancer. It's way overdue on that. Meanwhile, the cancer has the DNC so overrun, it's a bigger walking tumor than Deadpool!

[Tomisworthless]

@ObscuredBeyond democrats won't see clearly until its too late. Blind leading the blind unfortunately :(

[strateguy632]

to tessa, the dnc was not neutral.

[Twalli]

They have to vote in a new one.

[BLP11520]

It seems like a stupid thing to do?
