Stop stalling. Turn the gavel over to a democrat and be done with it. One of the greasy squad members would be good. Rashida Tlaib or her towel head brother love'n side kick would both be excellent choices.

There's only one reason for this level of shitshow - agendas. Personal, hidden agendas. They are corrupted by them.

The mandate should be simple - put forward the most ethical people that best adhere to and are guided by the laws that govern Congress, namely the US Constitution, whose motivation is to serve We the People and no other. Simple. Then select the best suited individual.

If they ALL followed that basic principle they should be able to find at least a small handful of candidates and agree on one. Even in that den of vipers there is at least one person that best exemplifies the above statement. But each time they put forward a candidate the various agendas of the voting bloc poison the process and outcome. They are so corrupted some don't even want such a person.

Instead of serving We the People, they serve special interests, the Deep State, foreign powers, banksters, the DNC or just their own personal greed.

The Mafia has had an easier time choosing their leaders. At least they acknowledged their own corruption instead of trying to hide it.

First step of a Congressional 12 step program - Admit You Are a Lying, Corrupt Piece of Shit.

Johnson won election to the role with the support of all 220 Republicans in attendance, surpassing the 215-vote total that was required to win. All 209 Democrats in attendance voted for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the party's House leader.

:ROFL:

Probably. But the left would hate anyone that was finally elected. What really matters is whether McCarthy dislikes him. If he does, then it's good he won.

According to Matt Gaetz, McCarthy was knifing everyone put forward in an effort to get himself reinstalled.

Matt lays it all out to Bannon in the link below. Good interview.

McCarthy is a weasel.

The fact that all 220 voted for him worries me. Back door deals or he is a Trojan horse.

From the sound of it, as explained by Gaetz there was no adjournment. The turnaround was quick and therefore not enough time for back room deals and McCarthy screwing things up. They pretty much got caught flat footed. Mostly due to Mark Molinaro putting up a motion for a non-binding vote to see if they had enough support to nominate Johnson. Seems Molinaro deserves some credit (or an ass whuppin' if this goes sideways)

Odd how they can get something done when they're not busy selling each other out.

Time will tell.

Molinaro is a spineless populist weasel. Don't give him any credit. He is going to have a mental breakdown when he has to make a decision that doesn't please everyone.

After hearing 220 people who were bickering back and forth for three weeks all yell out "Johnson" today, I couldn't help but smile.

Not just because I have the mind of a 12-year-old boy, but because it meant we had a new Speaker of the House.

And not just any Speaker of the House. We have a Speaker of the House who...
  • Is adamant about shutting down our border ASAP
  • Called impeaching Joe Biden "Our Constitutional duty"
  • Will require the House to pass single-subject appropriations bills
  • Is pro-life
  • Is pro-Trump
  • Will release ALL of the January 6th security footage
  • Is a Constitutional scholar
  • Thanked God in his speech and knelt down on the house floor to pray immediately after the vote
Was the three-week circus worth it?

Absolutely!

I mean, 220 "Johnsons" isn't just a ton of "Johnsons," it's a unanimous decision by the Republicans. When was the last time that happened?

And, the best part of this entire process is that we uncovered a ton of "non-conservatives" posing as conservatives. Many of us learned hard truths about who our representatives are actually representing. (SPOILER ALERT: More often than not it ain't the people who put them there.)

They take our tax dollars and spend them on anything and everything that will make them richer and more powerful. They pretend to be solid men and women of character who are working to save us, but really they are working to save themselves.

It's eerily similar to my newest book "The Untold Story of Christmas."

Our speaker seems to be a similar hero. Not a God, but a pious man who will work for the people, and not his own self-interests.



At least, I hope so...

Don't get your hopes up too fast. It's only been a few hours.

If he releases ALL of the J6 video (good or bad) in the next 48 hours, maybe there is a little hope for him

Bongino said something a week or so ago I thought was pretty good advice and I think it applies. I'll paraphrase -

Don't put your stock in individual personalities. Individuals will let you down. Instead, look to outcomes to guide you. If you do that you'll never be disappointed and the outcomes will inform you who the individuals truly are.

I think Congress is like any other workplace, full of cliques, back-stabbers, suckholes and power hungry tyrants. I think they are so wrapped up in themselves and each other that the outcomes lose priority.

It's way too early to call this a win. Nothing wrong with being optimistic, but remain guarded. Repubs always seem to get screwed when they think they are winning.

I am happier that KM is done and has been exposed. Now if we can just get rid of the Mick in the other house...

Well said. There's a big difference between the Talk and the Walk. I've never heard of the guy and know nothing about him. I expect there will be all kinds of things said and written about him, good and bad, now that he's "Mr. Speaker". He could be an asset to the country, or another greedy lying POS like so many others in DC. I'm cautiously optimistic, at best.
