All three should be thrown off a train.

- Start date
Can I piss on them first?
It’s hard to believe anyone can be this breath-takingly stupid but here you are. Read carefully…
NO ONE IS DISPUTING THOSE FACTS. THERE'S NO DEBATE TO BE HAD. THEY WEREN'T JUST TOURISTS!!
Are we done here?
Before this is all said and done one of these Republicans will lose his/her temper and punch Matt Gaetz square in his sixhead

I love that none of them can coalesce around one person. You have Orange Jesus, Scalise, Donalds, Gym Jordan. Going to be a shit show.
A glorious shit show.
It'd be pretty awesome if Gaetz went to a press conference after the R caucus meets all beat to shit.
Nah. He’d just fund raise and get clicks off it. Hopefully the next politician carjacked in DC is Gaetz.
I did a double take listening to NPR this morning. They had some Republican from Missouri on, and he said the caucus will meet on Tuesday, and then vote on Wednesday to elect a new Speaker. I thought the interview had been recorded yesterday, and the dates were confused.
Nope. The House is off until next Tuesday. Way to go GOP. That’s leadership for you. Someone had better alert Coffland14 so he can wind up his outrage machine.

Yep. Couldn't happen to a better guy....in his case he'll probably pull a Smollett though.
Gaetz and 7 of his cronies plus all the D's voted for this.
Jesus quit blaming Ds for this Republican shit show. You’re pathetic.
Just stating facts. That's what happened.
The R's are a shit show...no argument. But don't bitch about having another speaker fight when all the D's voted for it. It is what it is....
LOL who’s bitching about a speaker fight? Republicans own this.
The Democrats said from the beginning that it's not their problem and it's up to the GOP to elect their own leader. Now, if McCarthy had kept his word with them like he did with Margie Three Toes, they may have been more receptive to helping him out with a vote or 10.
Yes, Pelosi let Hastert stay... A reminder on Hastert and the GQP projection:
That's fair. It wasn't the D's responsibility to save McCarthy.
But here we are.
McCarthy made his own bed by acquiescing to the "one dipshit" can tank the speaker rule.
My main concern is this whole thing puts continued Ukraine support in serious doubt. Gaetz basically made Ukraine aid his predicate for tossing McCarthy. It's why he and his crew voted down McCarthy's original CR last week.
McCarthy need D votes to keep his job...
Gaetz needed pretty much all the D's on board to toss him.
'
Gaetz won. He got what he wanted...
It's not an accident he is the leader. Every GQP member use this to show their support for the traitorous insurrection that happened on January 6th.
I'm not opposed to some of these... ouch, does that make me Q?
Actually it was 8 R's and all the D's in the House.
Most of the R's voted for the CR that included Ukraine aid last week...Gaetz and crew tanked it.
The Dems saved him to avoid a shutdown as they all voted with him and the first thing he does on the weekend shows is blame the Dems. Garbage, and this is a GOP disaster, period.That's fair. It wasn't the D's responsibility to save McCarthy.

They’re at least smart enough enough (barely) to realize they need to try to avoid the embarrassment of 15 votes again. Wonder if Vegas is opening a line on how many votes they’ll need to elect the speaker this time.
love how you just gloss over the fact that this doesn’t happen without the motion to vacate.
What R isn't going to "blame" D's chis?
It's SOP....
My thing is.....is the current situation we're in (no speaker and probably another protracted speaker fight) better for the country or McCartHy keeping his job?
I'd vote the McCarthy keeping his job.
Well Gaetz and crew couldn't do it without almost all D's on board.
It is what it is....
Not glossing over anything. McCarthy made his bed by agreeing to that ridiculous provision.
Then McCarthy should have cut the deal over the weekend with the 8 democrats he met with. But decided being Maga is better for staying elected in Bakersfield
Dude. Just stop. This was all put in motion with the leadership votes and concessions made in January 2023: deals and concessions that McCarthy made with his own caucus. The responsibility sits with the House GOP and the House GOP only.
As Taylor Swift says: I keep my side of the street clean…you wouldn’t know what that mean.
The country is in bad shape either way with these clowns as the majority. The Dems just strengthened themselves to likely end that on Jan 2025
Concessions on bills to be tabled and bills brought up for vote and concessions on the budget. But I don’t have details and it doesn’t sound it went far. Kevin is going to go back to raising a lot of money for the GOP. It’s the one thing he excels at
so, the guy that KNOWS his job is on the line, KNOWS he’s going to need help from the other side to keep it, but throws them under the bus anyway; not to mention has not shown himself to be trustworthy or at all capable of controlling his caucus AND unilaterally opened an impeachment inquiry of POTUS…you think the Dems should have fought for THAT guy?
id get your point if McCarthy had shown any inkling of working with Dems…but he hasn’t, and without him offering any concessions - the bare minimum of which should have been putting Schiff and Swalwell back on their committees, how could they put any trust in anything else he says?
this entire situation was totally predictable once McCarthy won the speakership after making every possible concession.
He’s hell bent on blaming Ds. Another conservative that doesn’t believe in personal responsibility.
Common theme.
- Dem’s (Pelosi) were responsible for J6
- Dem’s responsible for Trump’s indictments
- Dem’s responsible for almost shutting down the government last week
The party of individual responsibility sure is something to behold these days.
Charlie wouldn't know a fact if it punched him in the face. Not debating with a community college dropout.
To be fair, one could be 50 yards from him and not miss his head.
