GOP=pretend WWE sh** show. Criminals all…
and apologies to the WWE who don’t deserve that.
As a Democrat I have that exact same question. >

Most likely several chairmanships to different committees that were promised to several people. Gunna be awkward when it comes down to first come first serve >

Also that if only one republican objects to Mcarthy being in the role, it can go up again for a vote that could remove him. 
Because the Democrats also want him out, they will side with the 1 GOP who objects which will likely vote him out of the role. >

Need the 212 democrats plus 6 republicans to vote our McCarthy. Probably not. >

Six voted "present" instead of voting for him
His own caucus took 15 votes to get to that compromise. 
He won't last the year >

Gaetz was on Fox saying he was basically all out of things to ask for, so I'm sure they got some crazy shit. >

On your knees! >

Did they ever identify the rep that yelled it? >

What!?!  What did I miss? >

A democratic representative, yelled out "on your knees" when Kevin McCarthy approached Matt Gatez after the failed 14th round of voting. 
I found it hilarious because of all the "negotiating" he had to do to win over as many votes as he did. >

That is amazing. I love it. Seems the appropriate time for those kinds if comments unlike, for example, during the State of the Union. >

Honestly Republicans have destroyed so much Congressional decorum since 2008, I don’t care if Dems rib them out of line. >

A bunch of cocaine handshakes for sure. >

But what about the sex orgies? >

You don’t want to know what McCarthy agreed to on this issue 😉 >

So how bout that Ulihein dude finances This and is the biggest GOP donor.  They are going fucking masks off.

"The left will only stop when conservatives stop them, which means conservatives will have to discard outdated and irrelevant notions about “small government.” The government will have to become, in the hands of conservatives, an instrument of renewal in American life — and in some cases, a blunt instrument indeed.  
If all that sounds radical, fine. It need not, at this late hour, dissuade conservatives in the least. Radicalism is precisely the approach needed now because the necessary task is nothing less than radical and revolutionary."  
"To those who worry that power corrupts, and that once the right seizes power it too will be corrupted, they certainly have a point. If conservatives manage to save the country and rebuild our institutions, will they ever relinquish power and go the way of Cincinnatus? It is a fair question, and we should attend to it with care after we have won the war.  
For now, there are only two paths open to conservatives. Either they awake from decades of slumber to reclaim and re-found what has been lost, or they will watch our civilization die. There is no third road." >

Echoes of Barry Goldwater: "Extremism in defense of liberty, is no vice" But nowadays they get confused after the word "Extremism". >

Didnt he warn us of not letting these folk get to where they are today? >

Same with John McCain. One of the last "Goldwater Republicans." >

Happy Cake Day! yea i saw that vid of him warning us on russian aggression, sht was prophetic.  I had different views than him but jesus at least he didnt want to murder me.  It makes me kinda sad how you realize he might be one of the last decent republicans.  Fuck 15 years ago i thought id never have the "damn was W that bad?" thought but here we are. (yes, yes, he is btw) >

Basically, the Nut Job Caucus gets to call all the shots. If Mccarthy takes a step out of line, they put up a vote against his speakership, and the circus starts all over again. Donald Trump proves once again that he is still in charge of the Republican party >

A call for a new speaker vote requires a majority to pick a new speaker so Kevin won’t get booted with just the 20 mags idiots >

Yes but a majority need to then vote to remove him which the freedom caucus will never have >

Would it really put it past these wackos to take up an entire session of congress with votes of no confidence just to stall anything meaningful from passing congress? >

Now that is something dumb enough that they might do >

It doesn't matter what specific deals he cut. He sold out the country to the nazi wingnuts in return for a shred of power. The next 2 years are going to be a total shit show and worse than nothing will get done. >

EVERY SINGLE Republican who joined with the Trump fascist crazies is complicit. >

not sure you need the qualifier. >

I'm not worried, because I don't know of any Republicans that actually honor a deal. >

Mccarthy has to or he loses every vote like he lost the speaker vote 14 times in a row. >

Let's ask Putin. >

And yet the moron still blindly voted for him without finding out >

Considering how quickly they all got on board the Kevin Train, there were major deals cut in the back room. >

Quickly? >

Well I guess compared to how quickly they came up with a replacement for Obamacare which was never this must have seemed positively like the Flash was directing it >

He played right into the hands of the lunatic fringe. God knows what kind of deals he made but the next two years is going to be a shit show. >

“We don’t know what they got or didn’t get,” Mace said. “We haven’t seen it. We don’t have any idea what promises were made.” >

Any of them who ask this question, and still criticized Nancy Pelosi for asking members to vote on a large bill without having had a lot of time to read it all, are hypocrites.
Better read that rules package closely Ms. Mace. Who knows what is in there? >

What do you mean back door? Gaetz openly extorted him on national television in front of the entire house of reps.
McCarthy just gave him the power to hold the entire house hostage by changing the rules so one person can call for an entire leadership election for no confidence.
McCarthy has the seat but Gaetz owns the house. If he doesn't get everything, everything he wants he's going to hold the house hostage. >

Goetz could be held accountable for his pedophile crimes, that would remove him from the house floor. This whole thing is ridiculous >

Problem was that his partner in the crimes is so fucked up that they don't know if a jury will find him credible. Their best evidence now is that testimony. So unless they can find something more concrete they're not going to bring a case that's most likely going to be thrown out. >

I'm disgusted with the amount of concessions given to pedophiles. >

From what I've read, McCarthy is a figurehead speaker at this point. >

Protecting the rich at all costs by prevventing increased funding for the IRS is one. >

Whatever they were, we know they involved Trump.
The sedition caucus literally had Trump on the phone while negotiating with McCarthy on the house floor. >

Greene was voting for McCarthy. She was trying to get one of the "never McCarthy" people to talk to her god emperor. >

Hand jobs >

I’ve got to be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens, the room where it happens >

Some of those Repub Reps are gonna be pissed when some wacko got to take their spot on a committee. >

Fucking Ukraine over will be there somewhere. >

I think asking what deals weren't cut is just as good. >

The way to cut them off is for a handful of moderates to align themselves with the Democrats. >

How about until you can get your own concessions. >

If only she were in the position to take action on her concerns, like not voting for him until she knows his full agenda /s
“Well, I don’t know if this is poison or not, but I better just go ahead and eat it” >

Motion to vacate will probably end up being the first vote in this Congress. And it will be from a moderate when a radical brags about what they got from McCarthy >

Then youll have their states censor them if the gop majority doesnt first. yea shits gonna get real. >

Which sounds cool until they respond by switching parties. >

well he just said he wants to defund the IRS, guess some rich friends requested that so they can keep paying less taxes >

“I like the rules package but I may not vote on it”
Genius >

Our only hope is their ineptitude outmatches their malice >

I hope he tells us before he's ousted in about four weeks lol. Talk about being hoisted by one's petards. >

The “deal” is Kevin and the rest of the GOP will be on board 100% with the next insurrection. >

So many hand jobs >

“No one else was in the room where it happened “ >

Damn it. I was going to make that joke. >

No one else was in the room where it happened >

Phone call from DT, sir.
McCarthy: Yes sir, right away sir, I'll kiss it every day sir. Yes sir. >

I speak republicanese, I can translate. Nancy is pissed that she didn't get her money. In their culture it's customary to accuse your enemies (or friends, whomever, really) of exactly what you're guilty of, often in retaliation for denying the accuser's request for the exact thing they accuse them of. It's strange to outsiders but, it is their way. >

I’m sure all the deals were legit and not shady at all. >

We'll find out Monday I guess >

Well, you're going to find out and it likely won't be pretty and you'll only have yourselves to blame. >

If you have to ask, you might rethink what team you’re on. I’m glad she ain’t my rep- being out of the loop like that. >

I’m sure she’ll cut her own deal and get on board. >

Hory shit, back rooms!??!?! >

And by ‘back door’ you mean it in the figurative sense, right?  Oh.
