I Hope They Hold Out Until January 6th

In Overnight Vote, Buffalo Guy Elected Speaker Of The House

Kevin McCarthy has lost again, in the 8th round of voting.

And a 9th.

From Jordan Schachtel: Hearing that McCarthy is now offering major concessions to House Freedom Caucus in exchange for his seat. The “what’s the plan?” uniparty roosters are about to have major egg on their faces. He’s going to give up the farm BECAUSE THEY HELD THE LINE.

  2. The 20 “terrorist” holdouts are showing the GOPe how a minority should act. A minority doesn’t have much power, but when you do (like on the omnibus bill) you use it instead of rolling over.

    1. Trump is not a detailed, tactical person. The Speaker of the House has to be a principled, and detail oriented person.

      Also, Trump has already thrown in with the Establishment (Do Not Ask Me Why!?) IMO? He would be a figure head at best.

  3. Well Kevin got the coveted Pelosi endorsement when she said she wished he had won first round! Just need Schumer and Schiff on board to really right the ship.

    Matt Gaetz is an absolute flame thrower. So much is being exposed in this.
    McCarthy might have a few extra votes had he not spent the last election cycle starving MAGA candidates out.
    McCarthy is as swampy as they come, which is obvious to anyone who has been paying attention for the last decade.

    1. IOW
      No more Pelosi type “kings” dictating how to run the “for the people” House of Reps.
      Same goes for Shummer and McConnell and wannabe McCarthy.
      Its a Constitutional Republic, NOT a Democracy.
      Those 20 holdouts have every right to demand, all those who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution
      actually uphold it.

    2. “McCarthy might have a few extra votes had he not spent the last election cycle starving MAGA candidates out.

      Yes…so why is Donald Trump SUPPORTING him??

      No one can figure this out, but more and more people are now starting to doubt that he is as smart as he likes to tell us he is.

    3. McCarthy seems to be a man who just can’t take a hint …. he is not wanted. So far nine rounds of voting told him so.
      The GOP has some sort of infection that makes them stupid. They need to take page from the Dems where they .. you know … stick together.
      Punt McCarthy and get someone in there who doesn’t want the job so incredibly badly … like McCarthy does.

      “Power should never be given to those who seek it” – Someone said that.

  4. I just heard that the Liberals need a new LEADER ! I think Buffalo Guy for Justin!

  5. Hope they are holding out for far, far more iron clad guarantees, than Manchin did.

    Remember only a few months ago, Manchin got “iron clad guarantees” as he was holding out before supporting the DeMarxist Senate vote.

    Only to get screwed over weeks later, of course. Stupid bastard.

    Hope the condition list is long. Detailed financial scrutiny of Ukraine bribes. Replacement of GOPe head Ronna McDaniel Romney as well, talk about controlled opposition!

    This is great, though the media also benefits scorning the GOP as well. Oh well, sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the right outcome.

    1. Media are only scorning the 20 Dan. Which is another tell that the 20 are taking the correct position.

    2. Another key condition is releasing the January 6th committee records immediately, instead of keeping them (tellingly) sealed for 50 years.

  6. For the life of me, I don’t get why the Dems don’t throw some votes McCarthy’s way. If he’s as RINO as the 20 think he is, isn’t that a win for the blue team?

    1. That would be an indication that they are allowed to think and decide.
      Apparently not.

  7. Come Monday, you will find that McCarthy has brokered a power-sharing arrangement with the Democrats that will give him plenty enough (D) votes to win the Speakership. While this will be hailed as a great victory for bipartisanship and Our Democracy™ by all right-thinking people (which is to say, Left-thinking people) it will simply prove that the Republican leadership is far more willing to compromise with Democrats than with their own party. They still have no idea how Trump happened, they have no idea how fed up with the usual BS people are. They elected Donald Trump, for the love of God! Do you have any idea how much they must hate your guts if they prefer Donald Trump to you?

    1. The Democrats could assure a McCarthy victory by merely having 60 or a hundred Democrats stay home and NOT VOTE.

      The total would be McCarthy 190-200 votes, Rebels 20-30 votes, Democrats 100-150 votes. The majority of 200 votes would win against the 180/(30 + 150 votes.)

      Expect the Democrats to try this Monday Afternoon or Tuesday. Why Monday or Tuesday? It gives the Democrats a chance to win the Sunday Morning Talk show wars. Not that that matters to us, but it really matters to the Washington DC – New York F***ing City chattering classes that they “win” the “Sunday Morning Talk Show Wars.”

    1. Exactly right.

      A Clownifornian in a $5,000 suit and a $500 tie is not about to disrupt the Swampy Status Quo.

  8. The Democrats may very well find that their interests would have been best served if they had voted for the RINO McCarthy on the first ballot. Nobody ever said Democrats weren’t stupid.

  9. Who effing cares? The United States is a foreign country. It matters little to us what corrupt politician holds the Speaker’s Chair. Both parties have been entirely hostile to Canadian interests at various times.

    1. It matters a LOT: Canada is tied economically to the US. If they go down, WE go down.

      1. It’s a foreign country. Your opinions on this or Canada’s opinion matters not one iota and is irrelevant to how this turns out. You don’t matter. Deal with it.

      1. He isn’t and wasn’t going to be. Deal with it rather than waste your time on irrelevant speculation. We have to live in the real world not fantasies.

        1. Really don’t understand your rationale. As the US goes, so goes the West in general.

          Bitch about how they’re post-constitutional, the Congress is neutered (won’t use the power of the purse at all anymore), uniparty, swamp, etc; that makes sense.

          Ignore it entirely as if it doesn’t matter because we have no direct control over it, you’ve completely lost the plot, sir.

          Are you new here?

  10. This is how the GOP establishment negotiates. They cave. It’s about time the conservatives took advantage of that squishy trait. God knows the democrats aren’t squeamish about exploiting that cuckism.

  11. I’d like to see a secret ballot. You’d then see McCarthy’s support greatly diminish.

  12. Amazing what happens when you don’t have secret ballot dumps in the middle of the night…ha!

    Apparently, now the 10th vote has failed leading to this hilarious comment:

    “I feel more free when Federal government fails to function.”

    “If only they had worked with such urgency to release J6 prisoners, fought election integrity, build the wall etc…I have no more F’s to give for the RINO GOP. These people act as if the world will implode if the corrupt government isn’t screwing us over.”

  13. Any word on whether Dan Crenshaw has personally arrested the 20 Terrorists™ and shipped them off to Guantanamo?

  14. So nine Republicans vote with the Democrats to pass the Omnibus bill and we get crickets from the rest of the Republican party. But the Democrats can’t throw their weight behind getting McCarthy voted in because that would expose the whole rotten mess that is American politics. Meanwhile the staunch twenty are holding their ground despite the Republicans, Democrats and the media trying to eviscerate them. If this situation continues till the weekend I imagine there are going to be a lot of Republican voters contacting their representatives and demanding that they vote for Trump. Once positioned Trump could oversee the investigations and impeachment proceedings of several Democrats and that would be when the SHTF. I’m dreaming in technicolour but it doesn’t cost much.
