Looking back, it appears that this whole mess was an exercise in giving the party elders their chance to hold the position since it was "their turn", and they were rebuked. Thus, we have a start to a changing of the guard. Hopefully the Senate will be next, and Mitch McConnell and his lackeys...

Mike Johnson elected Speaker of the House. https://www.nola.com/news/politics/louisianas-mike-johnson-elected-speaker-of-the-us-house/article_35a2bcdc-7353-11ee-b5d7-7364f23f7acd.html

Looks like DeSantis has seen enough of pro Hamas activities on FL college campuses. It's noteworthy that no other governors have taken a stance against college terrorist supporters. "The state university system of Florida announced Tuesday that campus chapters of Students for Justice in...

Mike Johnson is the latest Republican Speaker Designate as of late Tuesday night. Vote could be held Wednesday afternoon unless he drops out too. Since he's not very well known, maybe he's got a chance...

Pilgrim said: Bottom line is, the Republicans will settle on a Speaker in a week or two and nobody will like him either. Well, they did settle on a Speaker designate - in a matter of hours this morning: Tom Emmer. He's the Never-Trumper who was the paid spokesman for the...

That doesn't fix anything - it just ignores a direct quote.

One should expect nothing less from MSNBC, which specializes in hyperbole and hysteria aimed at Republicans and conservatives. They, along with other legacy media repeated Joe Biden's preposterous claim that the Jan 6 riot was the worst event since the Civil War; now they've decided the current...

As we all probably know, the acronym stands for Make America Great Again - the Trump campaign slogan. It was enthusiastically adopted by conservative Republicans, and many middle-class Americans who supported Trump. Personally, I believe this group has expanded to other traditional political...

One would think so, but Waters and MAGA were part of a conversation about "trading in anger" that started with post #556.

Considering that Emmer has always been a never-Trumper, it's no surprise that Trump and his supporters would be against him. The GOP is so bitterly divided that no member can get the necessary votes. They need to start looking outside the House for a candidate they can all get behind, not...

I agree 100%. The FBI should investigate every one of these threats, regardless of party, race, religion, etc. Considering all the nut cases out there now and the animosity that exists in politics, any death threat should be taken seriously.

That's not even close - did you even read the posts? A-Team asked specifically about what Maxine Waters said and I provided a couple of direct quotes.

Joe Biden and the Democrat party have over time expanded the MAGA label from just applying to Trump die-hards to pretty much anybody who votes Republican. Biden was quoted from a recent fundraiser saying "“Let there be no question: Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy...

Here ya go: “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”...

True in a way - but this all goes back to Gaetz and the 7 dimwits who voted McCarthy out with no replacement candidate lined up, and no plan whatsoever for going forward. McCarthy also shares the blame for agreeing to the one member needed rule to propose vacating the Speaker. He should never...

1. Who is MAGA? Biden, the Democrats, and the media have done a bang-up job of turning this acronym into a perjorative, but who does this slur apply to? 2. Jordan trades in anger? Does he encourage his supporters to go out and get in people's faces like Maxine Waters did? Are there any...

Which House member? Also, wouldn't such an action be in violation of the terms of the lease? Presumably? Who's making threats against whom? This is all very vague, and there are legal consequences for this kind of stuff. Once again, who specifically is making death threats? The FBI has ways to...

Yep - what seemed like a good idea only lasted about an hour in the meeting they had. Then they decide to do the same thing again expecting a different result. Isn't that the definition of insanity?

I guess we're about to find out. Jim Jordan Will Not Seek a Third Speaker Vote Jim Jordan Will Not Seek a Third Speaker Vote

As the Republicans continue to squabble among themselves, a solution exists to solve the problem of the House not being able function. Both parties are aware of it, but neither will bring it up for a vote: authorize the Speaker pro tempore to carry out the full scope of duties of the position on...
