Anyone right of Yoho is far left. Which is pretty much everyone.

I don't even know why it is interesting which way the far left votes on a Republican speaker. I'd like to see the centrist democrats negotiate some bit of power to support a speaker willing to give a little to the democrats to keep the country running. But the far right is the problem here. Why is he expecting the far left to support Mccarthy or any other Republican speaker?

It's nearly impossible to see how this could play out without either getting some democrat votes or going with a full maga speaker. Both those scenarios seem unlikely. So I guess no more government until 2024?

“Right wing extremist” get’s thrown around like candy. Sucks when the same principle is shared to the left.

The far left never ousted their own party’s speaker. You are just shouting out names for no apparent reason or logic.

It was always destined to end this way for McCarthy, but it's still hilarious to have it happen within a year. What a loser.

Why? The Democrats should do nothing, make the GOP go through all this again.

Gaetz is a steaming pile of ####, but still, couldn't happen to a nicer guy than McCarthy. Crawling back to Trump after initially condemning Jan 6 showed what a spineless weasel he was, and he doubled down by selling out for the gavel. Well, you reap what you sow. What a loser.

McCarthy says he's not running for speaker again.

Whenever Yoho gets called out on his misinformed #### (which is, all the time)... he just moves on to the next subject by posting a new tweet or something else because he can't defend his position. So, he just #### posts for fun. Surprised he hasn't been banned again, or better yet, permanently.

Because the endorphin hit of "owning him" is too hard for people to pass up for some people.

Romney has already announced he will not run in the next election.

https://apnews.com/politics/massachu...63a666913be886

What I would love to see is ~8 Republicans vote with the Democrats and have Jeffries as Speaker. I’m sure that it would immediately result in another vote, but would still be great to see.

Trump says he would prefer to die by electrocution in bizarre campaign rant

Faced with a litany of criminal charges, Donald Trump on Sunday told a campaign rally in Iowa that he would prefer to die by electrocution rather than be eaten by a shark if he ever found himself on a rapidly sinking, electrically powered boat.

But Donald, what would we do without you?
