Bunch of fucking retards. This is tuurrrible. Regardless of your opinions on Mccarthy he did his fucking job and worked across the aisle with the slim majority he had to pass bills that favored Conservatives. And now they oust him for…working across the aisle to make sure the Government doesn’t shut down. So now what happens? We go through the whole spiel of reelecting a Speaker of the House and hopefully before the budget deadline. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? If they kept Mccarthy and the Gov shut down they could just blame Biden which people are already doing. Now everyone is going to look at Republicans and the absolute clown show they just put on for 6 months, from taking 15 ballots to elect the guy to dismissing him a few months later. This is the first time this has ever happened in our countries history.

I like it. The retards are the ones that keep passing these spending bills fucking over the next generation. You a boomer?
I’m a zoomer but I prefer a status quo to complete chaos. Because literally what happens now. No one even laid out a plan besides “Get him out”. 100% whoever the hell they get in there will do the same shit Mccarthy has done but more partisan. They’ll pass the budget bill on time but remove aid to Ukraine for Israel.

And again I think my main point of contention isn’t what Mccarthys done or that someone could do it better than him. The point is is that Republicans now have 40 or so days to figure out who the Speaker will be. If they don’t figure it out in that time the Government will shut down and all the blame will fall on them and it will be their own fault. They could have just avoided this by ousting him after the budget. Or by not electing him to the seat at all. The Republicans are pretty fractured and this isn’t a good look.

Then you're retarded.. this is chaos already, inflation is out of control, spending is out of control, petrodollar is at risk, jailing political rivals, we're pushing Russia and China closer together as China rapes Africa's rare earth resources.

Explains a bit...

One thing you can say is that even though the DNC remains in lockstep on just about every issue no matter what, the GOP does a good job arguing amongst each other in public like a dysfunctional family.

What does Gaetz even want? Spending cuts? Great. How much and to what? Single issue bills? Love it but ain’t going to happen with a DNC senate and president.

At a time when the Dems are acting like literal socialists, the GOP finds a way to get in their own way instead of focusing on victory. They’re not winning anything in 2024 (I hope I’m wrong).

There's no difference at this point between GOP and Dems.. I'm glad RFK Jr is running independent so we can get another shot at Trump making everyone cry for 4 years.

This further validates that no one will do anything for the people for fear of getting fired

Good. I hope they shut down for a year and don't fuck anything else up anymore than they already have.
My main point is the political optics
… and all the blame will fall on them and it will be their own fault.
The voters don’t want a government shutdown because it affects their bottom line. Cops that serve the state and air traffic controllers go without pay while the government is unable to give loans to small business owners. Who will they blame if that happens? Not Biden but the guys who ousted the speaker they elected then couldn’t choose a replacement. I’m not so much speaking on “THIS WILL CAUSE THE COUNTRY TO COLLAPSE!” but This will probably cause the Republicans to lose seats in 2024.

He arrogantly thought he wouldn't need the Gaetz camp votes to become speaker and is a uniparty faggot. He was wrong, hence the embarrassment of 15 votes but he conceded to their demands and reneged. Fuck him.
I just don’t understand what the hell HE was thinking. In politics above the citizens and your country you serve your party and he didn’t do that. If serving your party means shutting down the government then thats what you do, especially when the only reason you got elected was the fringe movement of your party basically saying “We’ll put you in this position but you have to do XYZ”. And then he didn’t do XYZ. Did he think he could have just skated or they were bluffing about removing him?

Who gives a shit? Everyone knows republicans are retarded and refuse to stand together. This is not anything new. Gaetz is at least not an establishment faggot and is disrupting their gay 5000 page omnibus bills and funding for a total loss of a war in Ukraine that could lead to hot war with us being a part (retarded at this point) of NATO. NATO expansion is fucking our own asshole in terms of petrodollar security which is the main thing that keeps our funny money valuable. I'm hoping for a "Designated Survivor" situation, honestly (in minecraft).

No, you serve your people.. not some uniparty. You need some seasoning, zoomer.
I think I do because I don’t understand the emphasis on “people”. I mean I think about the entire position of the Whip in the House. Their job is to literally run around like a little monkey making sure their party votes on what they want. And they literally have people who track what these people vote on and how it aligns with the party agenda. Not to mention the whole “pressuring to resign” thing. If I remember correctly I think it was Al Franken who refused to resign after his scandal and he was shunned so hard in the legislature that he was basically forced to go.
