Trump is not a elected memeber of congress he dose not have a voting right. How a ordinary man like me cab be Nominated for speakerse
That is funny coming out of a Man who demands LOYALTY.
We’ll see
we’ll see
😅😂🤣😅😅
This reminded me of a high school Friday afternoon prep rally and they are nominating the homecoming queen. 🤣😂😅😂🤣😂😅😂🤣
I think the Republicans are successfully following their own agenda to bring confusion and chaos to the democratic process.
Good job, F-face.
The Americans people need to wake up, this is a big joke. Why does the want to change the rules. This another trick by crazies to Donald Trump into power. These crazies will do and try anything to get their leader back in the White House. If Trump becomes speaker of the House , then he can become president again.
That is a longgggg stretch calling some of these men honorable aka McCarthy 🤦♀️
Never McCarthy ? Be careful what you wish for…it might be granted ! Could be worse than McCarthy about to be speaker !
Well said Lawrence.
When karma hits back.. Lol
McCarthy, like most Republicans is a deeply stupid and craven man.
Well, he still is not smart enough to be speaker of the house. He is on another egotistical trip, which it’s not going good.ha never Kevin.
We the elderly people see the plan from the Republicans with big smiles on there face that the attack is to hold up leadership
They will choose santos.
Republican are starting to break the Constitutional Law. 8 times vote and McCarthy has fell to be speaker of the House. Democrat must be voted for speaker of the house.
We the elderly people are praying that this nightmare that the Republicans cult are staging these Republicans are making like they are against each other but they are together on the same January 6 and they are saying that trump is still there president bobert said that she and some Republicans cult are not going to vote for no leadership and no one is going to turn her against her president trump this is another terroist attack on our government and democracy if democrats call this out and ask each Republicans party who is there president so the country can see the behavior and the mind of each Republicans cult is in and they are told that the taxpayers money will not keep paying them for no leadership this was planned
The GOP choosing Trump started their demise, am sure they regret it now. He almost destroyed our nation and took down the Republican party with every lie and denial
It beats me how anyone will let themselves be humiliated over and over again , where’s your balls Kevin .
McCarthy has lost 10 times. How long can the repubs keep getting the same results.? Albert Einstein said it’s a sign of stupidity to keeping doing the same thing over and over and expect different results.
Kevin you are a snake, shame follows you everywhere 🧌🐍🐀 your done looser 😈
The honorable JIM JORDAN ? heh heh heh heh heh help me please somebody help . How abot the honorable Bernie Mdoff and the honorable Al Capone ? how many votes did they get ?
Here is my theory. Social networking is used to undermine democracy. They who wants to bypass democracy wants their puppet to be intelligence committee chair.
There is a unity in Democrats but not Republicans. Rep won’t achieve anything and no future for Rep here
Factually untrue!!! John Boehner left the speaker position whistling "Zippety Do Dah"
I believe it’s a sure bet the Republigang will be so devastated by 2025,they will be kicking and biting each other to gain control ,and fighting like two year olds in the kindergarten play lot . This party will split apart into two or three segments.
Fakery, weakness, stupidity, and treason seem to be the GOP’s platforms these days.
The GOP probably noticed that there was no deadline to choose a Speaker, and used that weakness in the system to yet again create the same gridlock, confusion and paralysis they aimed to create with shutdowns, fake electors, and sham audits by incompetent amateur contractors.
The "Showdown for the Speakership" is, in all likelihood, just another pro wrestling farce and manufactured drama to seize up the gears of government and prevent the opposition from accomplishing anything at all. The modern GOP is a bottomless well of bad faith arguments, cynical maneuvers, pseudo-legalism and paper terrorism (not to mention stochastic inciters of actual terrorist violence)
Tired of winning ?
Seventh time is a charm huh? 😂😂😂
Dear Keven ,its hard too be humble but you will be so by 2025,the Republigang will cause more division in this party by thier own acts than anyone in history . This and the former POTUS are seen nationwide as the little gang that failed biggly at even the simplest of deeds . But this was the idea since the 1960s.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 laughing stock circus 🤡 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
M
Tray Goudy was also one of those Benghazy, fool.
Democrats policies are ruining are country, you idiot’s 🙄
I’ll just be honest, as much as I love watching republicans do this to themselves, there is more to this than just a show. And as much as I don’t like Kevin, I really really don’t like those 20 voting against him. And those 20 have a plan. They want to usurp the speakership power. And allowing Kevin to end up agreeing to this would be mistake. I would let trump distance himself a little more, them the dems should make a secret deal with Kevin. Because you gonna have a republican speaker. You just to have ask yourself what kind you really want. Bad, or worse.
My cat is Hakim. If feels like they want my honorable fluff ball to lead the house.
The lack of understanding of the US Congress to elect a President of Congress, demonstrates the total disunity that is happening within the globalist system! They are fighting for power and will fall embraced by so much disunity! The US is tasting its own poison! Everything the US government does to destabilize and destroy the sovereignties of the nations they want to exploit is coming back to destroy the US. The law of return is implacable and divine Justice never fails!
ironic the people McCarthy wouldn’t hold accountable for Jan 6 are the people keeping him from his dreams lol idiots brainwashed by a clown
Remember he is a politician, and as my friends dad said way back ,find an honest politician, he will have mold on his mouth from never opening it to speak a lie ,that just can’t be in this era by any one in Government.
This may be the first time Lawrence has been correct about anything.
Question: How bad does this have to get…?
How many times this clown has to lose before he get the message ?
Trump’s own words -"We will see what happens" should tell you volumes. He is on the fence. He know if McCarthy concede his bid for the White House will die a quick death. 😵 However even if McCarthy somehow pull a majority, Trump’s position will be greatly weakened on the stage. Chances are Trump will try and find an exit from this trap he had dug for himself. 🤔 Remember – Even if he somehow managed to evade this, Trump still have the huge mountain of legal trouble he must dig himself out of. Yes, we will see what happen next indeed.
Hopefully the rino McCarthy is out
We the elderly people pray that Biden and Harris resolved this serious threats on our democracy and government because we don’t have security
This clown isn’t qualified to make a legitimate analysis!
When did gym Jordan become Honorable dam what world coming too
Walk away Kevin you are down the swamp drain so deep you cannot see daylight 🧌
It would be hilarious if the Democrat’s could get some Republicans to vote for them, and get a the speaker.
McCarthy is bad for Democracy
