A friend of mine posted something on Facebook yesterday--he thinks that McCarthy (currently 0-7 as I post this) is going for the #1 overall pick in the next NFL draft. More like "Mr. Irrelevant" |

And...off to ballot #8.
I wonder how long it will take before McCarthy realizes he just can't get to 218?

0-8. And the numbers are: McCarthy 201, Jeffries 212, Other 20, Present 1.
Looks a lot like the 7th vote. And 6th. And 5th....

Why do the Dems not vote for him? At least 4 of them? I think strategically that would be a very smart move. Just think about what that would do to the GOP …

McCarthy down to 200 votes. Now 0-10 on the young season. So...the first person to rise in the 11th round of this fustercluck immediately nominates McCarthy for Speaker of the House. Soon to be 0-11.

It’s been two days, eventually these knuckleheads will get on the same page. When that happens, later this week, it will be interesting to see what the new House Majority does first. They will probably start investigations on Afghanistan, The Border fiasco, Hunter Biden, weaponizing the FBI vs Trump, while fixing the soaring inflation and energy costs. They will have their work cut out for them. Or they could actually make a plan to do things that matter. But yeah, that isn't happening. They aren't interested in governing, they want to sling mud and shirk their duties to appease radicals within their own party. Afghanistan? Trump's culpability matters. The border fiasco? Yawn. Hunter Biden? Lol. It's 2023. Move. The. Hell. On. Inflation isn't soaring. It's gone below forecasts for multiple months consecutively. Weaponizing the FBI against Trump? Trump appointed the head of the FBI. Handpicked him. Much like the GOP, you need some new material. It’s not my material, it’s the dysfunctional GOP’s. When you say move on from Hunter, that’s not going to happen. His escapades have been buried and hidden for too long and the Republicans are going to take a look at the coke and hooker enthusiast’s activities. Apparently Biden is going to make his first appearance at the border…in his entire 50 year political career. The fentanyl problem has been ignored for too long. Also the endless stream of illegals needs to be addressed. Biden wants them all in our country, just not in affluent areas. A clear voter grab. Yes, inflation is a problem. 7.11% is very high, down from 9.06 of last summer, but all of this has been happening with the Dems in charge. Your spin is weak. |

Should the Dems investigate Jared Kushner now and his blood deal with Saudi Arabia? Ivanka? Donald Jr? You really want to open that can of worms? It's idiocy and deflection from real issues of importance. I just laugh at the pathetic attempts that you continue to make while not understanding what the REALITY really looks like. Illegals, fentanyl and inflation. The same stuff you've been wailing about for months. Nothing new. Inflation (that started during COVID, far before Biden took office) has stabilized and dropped. You want to tackle the border? Fix the asylum process. You want to fix THIS country first? It doesn't start with the border. YOUR spin is boring, straight from the bigots at Fox News. Your level of understanding on global forces shows how far away you really are from the truth here. |

Looks like time out was called, again, so McCarthy can offer more concessions to the 20 or so Republicans, who again won't vote for him tomorrow.
So, they will just reload and continue their circular firing squad. How many times will they vote tomorrow? 5? 6? 7? More?

Wow, why do you guys have such a boner for Hunter Biden? He's not even an elected official or Hollywood actor. This is Benghazi all over again. How much satisfaction did you get out of that? |
