More failure theater I’m afraid.

Meanwhile all investigations and impeachment hearings into the Bidens are now on hold.

The Media will be all too happy to shine their lights on “dysfunctional” Republicans and Trump’s legal woes instead of the border, economy and Biden’s massive corruption.

Why would every single Democrat vote for this? They know this is good for them as they continue to run rings around Republicans.

richwicks says

only because McCarthy isn't running again, and that may change.

He's playing like he isn't entitled to it. He hinted like he wasn't interested days leading to the vote that put him in.

If she didn't dress like she is the high priestess of the Yahweh cult, I would probably hit it.

One final thought.
Remember when everyone thought Paul Ryan was going to be better than John Boehner?

Scalise may have been playing a stand up guy, but his name in all of the Yay voters, in every Bill Congress passed that pissed Conservatives off, since Trump was in office.

Scalise scares me, because the Swamp wants him.

McCarthy loved illegal aliens from Mexico coming to California.

Still lost in your false paradigm. Tell me, who controlled Presidency, House, AND Senate when the Patriot Act was passed and the plan to crash the economy is '08 really started taking off?

Is it sinking in yet?

Tell me who controlled the House, Senate and the Presidency when we added trillions in spending including the Cares Act?

I agree that both parties are big spenders, but don’t pretend for a minute that Trump or “MAGA” has or will do jack shit about it.

Trump is too busy making Leftist criticisms of DeSantis trying to scare seniors that DeSantis will cut Social Security and Medicare. All the other spending (including Ukraine) is a drop in the bucket compared to our entitlements and Trump has made it clear he doesn’t want to touch it with a ten foot pole.

Since Trump, the GOP has gone from:

34 to 26 governorships
68 to 57 state legislative chambers
241 to 222 House seats
52 to 49 Senate seats
1 President to no President

All we do is lose.

While we spent the last 6+ years consumed by Trump’s daily issues, Democrats have consolidated power and continue to run rings around us.

The only way to relatively quickly gain control is to let the Trump tax cuts expire at end of 2025 and hold spending increases to no more than equal to the rate of inflation.

They can conveniently claim there is no consensus on extending Trump's tax cuts.

And if the Fed repeats the cycle with a new round of QE and low interest rates this may not set that bad for the rich and upper middle class (>$175,000 annual household income) since assets like stocks in their 401k's and IRA's will re-inflate.

Is it any wonder that the J6 footage that was promised was never released? The bastard was sharing a office with one of the architects of J6! Drain the Swamp!

Yes! Now you're getting it. They're all on the same side, and it isn't ours. So we have a choice. Keep investing time and effort in their theatrics, or be the change we want, fuck what they do.

The only vote that matters is the one you cast every day when you walk out your door.

I just heard on news radio that Scalise is running for Speaker. He would be a very good Speaker.

Remember how the first thing McCarthy’s deputy Speaker did was evict Nancy Pelosi from the Speaker’s office, which she unaccountably continued to infest? The unconfirmed rumor is that McCarthy had made a deal with Pelosi. She was to keep the Speaker’s offices — where McCarthy should have been — and democrats would vote against any motion to remove McCarthy. So he thought he had insurance. But Pelosi welshed, so McCarthy-ally and deputy Speaker immediately evicted her from the office.

I don’t know if it’s true. But it would explain the odd Pelosi office eviction that happened immediately after McCarthy was evicted from the Speaker’s job. So it seems it’s up to Kevin McCarthy now, to deny the rumor, and explain why the very first order of business was evicting Nancy after all this time.

Other rumors this morning suggested that Kevin McCarthy is now moving into the Speaker’s offices. I hope that’s not true.

Meanwhile, add a third point in the Gaetz column, since it looks like McCarthy used government property — the Speaker’s office — to recruit Nancy Pelosi and the democrats for his own political benefit.

The intelligence agencies.

Patrick says

evict Nancy Pelosi from the Speaker’s office,

She still has an office in the adjacent buildings to the Capitol, just not the cushy one inside. She has to walk through tunnels or above ground to get to it, so inconvenient. Traditionally, these 'inside Capitol' offices were honey pads for the politicians screwing groupies and mistresses so they didn't have to stray far to stray, and were perky nipple perks. However, I imagine they could be used for any variety of covert mayhems, since they were meant to be mostly anonymous and inconspicuous.

Politico ran a surprising story yesterday that expressly contradicted the Establishment Media narrative, with a headline saying, “Majority of Americans — and even the majority of conservatives — support McCarthy’s ouster.”

It was a polling story. The news was packaged in the form of a CBS poll reporting that 75% of Republicans surveyed agree Kevin McCarthy was “ineffective,” and 60% supported his removal from the Speaker’s position.

Nobody liked McCarthy. The article reported even 70% of people calling themselves ‘liberal’ backed Kevin’s ouster.

The story contradicts the original media narrative, which was that Matt Gaetz (R-Fl.), who moved for McCarthy’s removal, was just a lone political opportunist, a clueless “chaos agent” out of touch with the party’s base. But the CBS poll suggests instead that the majority of Republican representatives in the House are the ones who are clueless and out of touch with the base, not Gaetz. So get it together, people.

At rumor, a massive seismic shitstorm of reveal is pending that is going to leave the DC corruptocrats running for the gates and flipping on each other, or so the Woo would hopium. They need a staunch Speaker to keep up the momentum, not some lame ass sellout RINO.

Was Katie Hobbs called to DC for a tribunal during her recently reported absence from Arizona? She went somewhere at 3AM in DC, so are they holding secret tribunals around the clock in DC? Maybe they are offering some concessions to flip to State's Evidence.

Same Woosters say that Schiff will definitely wind up tried for treason. Maybe that's why he wasn't wedgied into Dianne's seat.

I guess we'll see.

I love community notes.
