I would bet big money that there are Republicans in the house right now who would rather have a Democratic speaker controlling the Republican majority, then to have a conservative speaker.

Yes, to Pan's point - the Cucks do not care...they have their scapegoats.

 ::upsidedownflag::

What they do not understand is we have ours.  Let the separation of frauds and the principled commence.

Meanwhile, 'Never Kevin' Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) has vowed to resign from Congress if McCarthy is elected Speaker, Fox News reports.

Years of anger, distrust

Got that right!  Chickens coming home to roost...long overdue.

Vote #7 done...on to #8...

Gaetz voted for Trump.

Looks like another McCarthy failure...more "other" votes than before...

3 "others" were 2 for Kevin Hurn (OK) and Geatz again for Trump...so the 3 that had been with Donalds reduced the latter from 20 to 17 in recent votes.

Round 9...

Buncha lousy weasels ..... because I'm sure you're right.

Too many of us are just sick and tired of seeing them do the "do-nothing opposition".

There only 222 R's...they get 4 defectors nobody will be elected Speaker...

Round 9 has already failed early in the tally...

I think this is headed for 3rd or 4th highest number of ballots...and it hits that number the 133 record could fall...

But, you know what?  At least no more wasteful spending, lobbying, corruption and betrayals can happen, can it?

ETA - Also...the 133 ballots in 1855 (34th Congress), 63 in 1849 (31st) & 44 in 1859 (36th) spanned a build up of angst in America from the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, Dred Scott decision of 1856 and a volatile 1860 election...

Why should now be any different?

I really fear that if it goes on much longer, the squishes are going to start lobbying Democrats to vote for McCarthy, if they haven’t been doing so already. If he’s elected speaker and has Democrats to thank for it, the conservatives will be punished endlessly, and more importantly, this country’s demise will be quickened.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

First, getting Democrats to come off themselves would have to be seen to be believed...and even if it happened, the cost would be  horrendous...but I am past being interested in seeing any more betrayals from within...if the squishes perform such an act I don't think it is a politically survivable deed...they will have revealed themselves fully and the odds that they would have enough support to ever get elected to anything ever again...at least not as a member of a murdered party...perhaps as a DemoCommie...

Second, if the best we can hope for is to stave of the death spasms of a murdered Republic...why not attempt it with a Speaker not beholden to its decline?  A Quisling Speaker *and leadership team) is not going to slow it down much better than a DemoCommie led chamber...

Third, I've had more that I care to take from these Quislings...

https://youtu.be/THuPiL_L9BU

Really starts to take off around the 1:40 mark...I'm so sick of twisted SOP's...so sick of UniParty collusion...so disgusted with the corruption...so utterly sick of cowardice...

Maybe Cawthorn was right...it's about protecting the booze and cocaine fueled orgies...being in The Club...that prevents them from refuses to yield when the math denies them?

He cannot become Speaker no matter how many ballots they conduct...not without a de facto switching of sides...so, doesn't matter if for the good of the party and/or the good of the nation...someone of good character would step aside...this is not the era of good character...the good of the party and/or nation be damned!

Listen to what your self-anointed betters are saying in this Tucker clip...

https://youtu.be/SSiK4J8GPxI

...are you high on your own farts? 

...are you a terrorist?

If it walks, talks, acts and looks like a totalitarian...it's a totalitarian...those bad-mouthing, demonizing and ginning up hatred of "legitimate" conservatives and libertarians are in fact doing exactly what the hardcore DemoCOmmies want...

Eff them, eff them all.

H/T-CTH
McCarthy cannot win 11 ballots, he will not win the 12th or any that follow without going deeper into betrayal...

Whatever "deal" there was last night...failed...

Whatever the Squish leadership engineers this morning...

https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1611199312590929920

...will also likely fail...

Repeating the same mistakes time after time is not to be glorified as effective leadership let alone blindly followed...it is a sign of insanity.

What exactly are we hurting?



Why are we ignoring the real question - what should we be defending?

If "The Party" cannot answer that call...then "The Party" should be over...

In conclusion...always end on a high note...

After round 14...

https://youtu.be/Dp9XYnoEAMA

...that was not Mike Rogers wanting to fight Gaetz (I'd put money on Gaetz) that was a weakling getting his pal to do the old playground "hold me back" maneuver...

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/01/07/representative-mike-rogers-of-alabama-attempts-to-fight-matt-gates-in-house-chamber-video/

...look at the dude in the glasses, forget his name...he nor anybody else looked concerned like fisticuffs were immanent...total BS, and this is the top guy on the Armed Services Committee?

I bet Boebert could put fat Mike on his ass and send his roof rug flying!

 ::laughonfloor::

So, round 15 and it's over...

Our reward?



https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-mccarthy-elected-house-speaker-after-last-minute-call-from-trump-to-gaetz

Whatever...now we can see what promises are worth, I am guessing not much...the rules, ways & means and steering committees will still be controlled by McCarthy minions...anybody really think the real conservatives are not going to be diluted wherever possible?

MCarthy got what he craved above all else...his cronies expect their fiefs...and for betrayed, abused, robbed, persecuted and oppressed people there is merely a different leader in a branch of government when the entire ship of state is on fire, sinking and headed into a maelstrom...

True...and when did drunken Mike Rogers or his ilk ever lunge at a DemoCommie?

Hello?

(crickets)

H/T-WZ

And look at those DemoCommies popping off.  Like Eric "Chi-Com Fang Fang banger" Swalwell -



 ::hysterical::

We'll see if McCarthy is good on his word and his lieutenants follow suit...



Will all the promises be met?  Will the “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government” expected to be led by Jim Jordan actually be effective in rooting out rogue criminal elements in the Federal government or will it be all show and no go? 

Sundance makes good points & suggestions here - https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/01/07/suggested-roadmap-for-118th-congress-select-subcommittee-on-the-weaponization-of-the-federal-government/

Alas, Sundance also fears the effort may be futile.

Will Reichsführer Garland be the first FJB goon impeached?  Will those 87k IRS agents be de-funded before they can be unleashed upon the political enemies of the totalitarians?  (There was a recent analysis, sorry, lost the link, that said for last tax year far far more people on the lower end of the income scale were audited by the fricken IRS than the upper scale!) 

So many "if's", "but's" and "maybe's"...

Yup.

Vought is basically saying the same thing...

The backsliding on promises is where that Jeffersonian motion to vacate comes into play...and I expect it is a matter of when not if the betrayals come.

Is Gaetz going to be a magnet for UniParty angst?  Probably.  But I don't see him backing down or being intimidated.

And as for this...

...how can any responsible investigation of that corrupt POS not find evidence?

Impeachment would be justified, and it would put McConnell and his Cucks on record exonerating a known POS...but to be fair he's had a long history of exonerating filth...and morons in KY willingly or unwillingly keep throwing him back into The Swamp!

And the weaponization of the bureaucracy investigation needs to keep this in mind too...

I used to not care if it was a flat tax or a national sales/consumption tax...

https://theamericantribune.com/breaking-republicans-to-vote-on-abolishing-the-irs-eliminating-the-income-tax/

...but now since the entire IRS is a corrupt criminal organization...I think a consumption tax makes the most sense...staff at treasury can collect centrally what has been collected at the source...and all the higher-end professional vulture class can be put out of work and put to more productive areas (or not, I do not give a frack...) and the bookkeeper class can account for this activity much more efficiently and with more ethics than the former professional parasites...and any increase in the tax will be transparent and lawmakers held accountable.

Only the corrupt, the parasitical and the completely unethical can be against such a wise bill!!!

Each according to their means and spending!   ::whoohoo::

...the more totalitarian trash screams...the more it means you are 100% on-target!

Your resolve should increase exponentially!

And...

Texas Republican Rep. Pat Fallon has filed impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, delivering on a promise he made last week before the 118th Congress was officially sworn in.
.
.
.
Since day one, Secretary Mayorkas’s policies have undermined law enforcement activities at our southern border,” Fallon said in a statement to Fox News last week. “From perjuring himself before Congress about maintaining operational control of the border to the infamous ‘whip-gate’ slander against our border patrol agents, Secretary Mayorkas has proven time and time again that he is unfit to lead the Department of Homeland Security.”

And...

The other  committee on the “strategic competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party,” is aimed at increasing the United States’ competitiveness with China.

“The new select committee on China will focus on bringing jobs back to America, securing our intellectual property, protecting our farmland and more,” McCarthy said.

The committee will be composed of 16 members who will investigate the economic, technological and security progress of the Chinese Community Party.

Wisconsin Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher has been tapped to lead the committee as chairman. The former Marine and intelligence officer has had a history of bipartisanship, working with Democrats on legislation focused on American competition with China.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/01/house-passes-resolution-creating-committee-investigate-china/

I cannot wait for the first intersection of the Biden Crime Family and scamdemic into this investigation...

And, want impeachment filed on that stunted slime Reichsführer Garland too!

As well as that lying POS running the Amerikan KGB!

And, how about looking into Scamdemic/clot-shot, IRS, ATF, criminals funded by Soros et al, etc wetc?!?!?!

There is a literal sh*tload to look at!
