There is absolutely no chance that his caucus  allows him to do anything that would pass the Senate. We are at the point where they’re probably going to shut down the government multiple times and cost American taxpayers billions of dollars and threaten global prosperity and security. 
The leadership of China and Putin are both laughing with joy at what Republicans are about to do.
Kevin McCarthy’s humiliation has just started and the woman who needed four attempt to complete her GED and an obvious pedophile will led the charge to humiliate him over and over and over again.
I don’t believe that any meaningful legislation will get passed because if it does that means it passes through the Senate. If it has a chance to pass the Senate McCarthy didn’t go far enough to the right. Then with the new rules only one member of congress can call a confidence vote to boot McCarthy. With the holdouts not putting forward an actual candidate and just wanting to screw McCarthy for personal gain, expect that with every bill, every rule, every committee. McCarthy sold his soul and his shoes to become speaker, but in the end the only thing he has is the title, he is a prisoner of the far right. And I don’t think anything will get done beside vendetta investigations and cherry picked evidence, which ( in my opinion ) might actually help the Democrats in 2024 when the public sees that the Republicans don’t want to legislate
Edit: I wanted to thank everyone who commented and who I replied to for engaging in a wonderful conversation. It has been a long time since I had a legitimate discussion with multiple points of views where no one attacked each other personally. When I joined this subreddit I was scared to comment or post anything out of fear but everyone in this discussion has made me more confident to share my opinion >

I think you summed it up well. We’re looking at two years of hearing about Hunter Biden’s laptop >

Don't forget impeachment after impeachment out of spite. >

It won’t be simply out of spite. It will be used as a defense for Trumps actions and to make impeachment less appealing to the public in the future. It’s essentially completing their projection.
They falsely claimed Trump was impeached purely for political reason. Then they’ll impeach Biden over nothing but political reasons. Then, when Democrats say “this is purely political”, they’ll try to “both sides” the issue. Republican mouth breathers will keep spam “Its (D)ifferent” because Republicans are generally too stupid to realize that there actually are differences. >

Yup, it’ll be a complete mess. Dems and leftists in general will have to say “this is a political witch hunt,” which is exactly what the right wants them to say. Then they can screech about hypocrisy and all that. But if the Rs actually go through with trying to impeach Biden, it genuinely will be purely political and out of spite. Unfortunately the headlines and talking heads will have a field day with calling Dems hypocrites. >

Exactly. Which, while I don’t want to be rude, is only possible because the people that support the GOP are incredibly stupid and/or knowingly acting in bad faith. If their supporters were mildly intelligent or honest they wouldn’t be able to successfully use that strategy >

Ehh.. I wouldn't say that's the only reason. Dems persued Trump for Russiagate for so long, ignoring provable crimes like all the money he was taking before and after the election from foreign governments (directly buying policy see; Israel embassy shift, Yemen vetos etc). 
I would say Dems kinda have it coming. To clarify, I'm meaning the inability to defend without getting labelled as hypocritical, not the impeachment claims itself, they will likely be petty and irrelevant. >

Nothing you’re saying makes sense though. The investigation into the very real Russian interference in our elections was made while the Republican Donald Trump was in office. The Republican Attorney General Jeff Sessions hired the Republican Robert Mueller to lead the investigation.
Calling it “Democrats” is just either a lie or a moronic statement made out of pure ignorance of the facts. Not only that, but that’s entirely irrelevant to the two impeachments.
I can certainly appreciate the clever attempt at “both sides” but when the facts don’t agree with your false claims it just makes you look foolish. >

You need to come back to reality buddy >

M’kay sweetie.
When you’re ready to come to the adults table and talk like a normal person you can try to enter the conversation again. >

Since the five holdouts and the Freedom Caucus extracted the concession where one member can call for a vote of no confidence, McCarthy is hobbled and he'll never be able to work with the Democrats.  The reason is the extreme wing of the Republicans consider compromise is criminal and any legislation with the Democrats is treason. 
If McCarthy tried, they'd call to vote him out. >

What does this vote of no confidence mean?    
For instance, could a bill come to the floor that some GOP type doesn't like.  This GOP person could trigger this no confidence mechanism and thus they are back to electing a new speaker?
I heard that these rules can't be rescinded in this session-- meaning that if a new GOP speaker is identified, they would still need to live with these existing rules plus any more they agreed to.
Could a Dem also leverage this single person no confidence mechanism or..? >


I heard that these rules can't be rescinded in this session

I don't know the laws/rules but I do know that outside of a very tiny number of things (like impeachment), the Constitution gives each chamber full authority to decide for themselves how to govern themselves. So I'd think that a majority could decide the rules about making rules. >

True, they can change the rules mid session, but that would mean either the maga holdouts fall in line, or Dems cross the isle.  
Dems gain nothing for bailing out McCarthy, and what are the odds the maga crown comes to reason? >


Dems gain nothing for bailing out McCarthy

Don't they keep the MAGA crowd from being able to have power if they bail him out? >

If McCarthy was in any way sane or serious, maybe.  Boehner was an ideologue obstructionist willing to put party above country, but he was also an institutionalist who worked his way through the party.  
Ryan was to the right of him.  But still a technocrat, or at least he wanted to be.  
McCarthy is two steps out from Boehner who was already too far out to trust.  
If the candidate for speaker didn't vote to impeach trump they are beyond trustworthy. That's like 3 reps at this point.
