*****MAGA in disarray, who will be speaker of the House***** McCarthy REMOVED! Jim Jordan 0-3. Election denier Mike Johnson confirmed. Vote them out

I don't understand all of the democrats on here celebrating. I get that McCarthy sucks and he's pandered to the MAGA extremist wing too much. In the end, it did him no good. But this only gives the 10-15 MAGA extremists in the House even more power. I'm sorry, I don't see how this is good for the country. I understand the temptation to want to watch Republicans engage in a political version of Lord of the Flies, but I struggle to see how Matt Gaetz successfully flexing his ability, along with a small handful of other extremists, to hold the House hostage is good for the United States.
laughing is not celebrating.

It’s a clown show monkey hump in the GOP.

Bad for America. Good for LOLs.
 
It’s shows the American people that the Republican Party cannot be trusted to govern.

It had to come to come to a head at some point. No one can predict what the future will bring but this had to happen. Extremism is with few exceptions a fool's errand. These nut cases have an Orange leader handing on by his fingernails to stay out of prison and alive. He is nearing 80 years in age and is a fat slob with a short fuse.
 
McCarthy will run again and make concessions to the Democrats for their vote. Weakening the crazies even more. At least I hope.

I don't think that will work. He reneged on a deal with the president. The dems don't trust him.

They might be able to find a member of their caucus the dems do trust to make a deal.

But there are issues with that as well.

1. Making a deal with dems would only inflame more R's against them.

2. It would be a big political embarrassment to need Dems help to govern.

3. Because the rules allow a simple majority to get rid of the speaker as well, the new speaker would have to rely upon the support of Dems just to keep his job. So he would continuously be at their mercy in any negotiations.

So the 200 plus Republicans have to essentially decide if Gaetz holds them hostage or the dems do.
 
Well Gaetz is all over TV showing his forehead trying to act like he cares about deficits. Temporary power. His forehead is almost as big as his ego. All will prove these people can't govern or legislate.
The GOP is trying to expel him. I'm not worried.
