    Far right Republican Matt Gaetz wants to have a line item based based budget where we spend where there is an ROI and cut where there isn’t one.

    They made a deal with super swamper McCarthy not knowing he could pull this sheet and avoid vacating the speakership.
    Buckle up buttercup...We are gonna see who has the power and who gets evicted.

    Lard ass was all in on McCarthy with his endorsement on 1-4-23 and also pushing for
    R. McDaniels as RNC head.

    Gaetz is still pissed J. Jordan didn’t want to be speaker and he couldn’t stop McCarthy from holding the gavel. His beef should be with Trump. But he’s too busy kissing his ass.

    And apparently Harmeet Dhillon wasn’t interested in kissing Trump’s ass like McDaniels was. Hence no support from him for the clearly superior option. McDaniels is a GD disaster.

    0-2.

    Broken

    Translation: Facts hurt my vag.

    I’d ask Race to explain the gain here but he’s not articulate enough.

    The gain is Trump extending his lead over Biden

    The guy that can win

    I remember when that mattered

    Gaetz just made the DIMS case that the GOP can not be trusted with the majority. But, but, but it helps Trump says the fanboy.

    LOL….

    McCarthy made that case by extending out Nancy's spending while also getting nothing in return.

    Trump added $7.8 Trillion to our debt so don’t even bring up spending as the reason Gaetz wanted McCarty gone. That just FS.

    Trump approved of McCarthy.

    What does any of this have to do with Trump?

    Also, please name some meaningful accomplishments that McCarthy has achieved.

    How so when only seven GOP house members sided with the fucking clown Gaetz?

    None of them will be speaker but we’re gonna get the same side show that Gatez gave us last time.

    The democrats won when they made a deal with McCarthy and then voted him out

    I'm looking at 2024 and who can win. I remember when that mattered

    You and Ron are running on 2020

    How's that going?

    Gaetz handed the DIMS the tool. Trump’s handpicked guy was just done in by 7 of his crazies.

    Please explain how Gaetz is the crazy one. He's the only one that actually willing to use his leverage, which is really all we wanted McCarthy to do.

    So McCarthy went full on Cuck Schumer with the the House Conservatives and then expected them to let him come in their mouth and like it. Say hi, Marco. Anyway.

    https://archive.ph/CX4Ft#selection-1211.0-1301.86

    "The reason we got to this point was a failure of Kevin McCarthy. All he had to do to avoid where we are was keep his word, keep his commitment and at least fight for that, but he did not do that in August," one of the McCarthy opponents told The Epoch Times before the vote.
    "He dillied and he dallied and stopped and started and couldn't decide. He was a feckless leader who didn't cast a vision to drive us to do that, to get those spending bills through. That's what he should have done, that's what he promised to do but he didn't," the representative said.
    He was referring to Mr. McCarthy's promises when he was elected speaker in January to cut federal spending back to pre-COVID levels, to avoid at all costs resorting to continuing resolutions (CRs) or omnibus spending bills, and instead return the House to "regular order."
    The regular order of both chambers in Congress is to write a dozen major spending bills in committees during the spring, then debate, amend, and finally pass them in the summer and early fall before the Sept. 30 end of the federal government's fiscal year.

    But Mr. McCarthy abandoned those promises, according to the opponents, in dealing with President Joe Biden in April by agreeing to a debt ceiling increase packet that also assumed federal spending would continue at or very near the hyper-levels that began in 2020 under President Donald Trump in response to the pandemic.
    Then after April, House Republicans were slow to move the 12 major appropriations bills, and when the traditional August recess approached, Mr. McCarthy was pressured by many of his most conservative colleagues to keep the House in session to work on the spending measures rather than allowing members to return to their home districts. But Mr. McCarthy declined to cancel the recess.
    When the final week before the Sept. 30 deadline arrived, it brought with it the prospect of the federal government having to shut down for lack of a budget for 2024. Mr. McCarthy opted to seek a CR that would give the House enough time to finish passing the spending bills. Four of the twelve were passed, accounting for 74 percent of all discretionary federal spending.
    Advertisement - Story continues below
    The speaker offered a 30-day CR on Sept. 29 that would have cut federal discretionary spending by 8 percent and mandated stronger measures by the Biden administration to secure the U.S. southern border with Mexico. But Mr. Gaetz and 20 other Republicans voted against it, killing it.
    On Sept. 30, the speaker offered a 45-day CR that kept current spending levels and it passed, thanks to Democrats voting with 91 Republicans in favor. Ninety-one GOPers opposed the 45-day CR.
    "That was the last straw," another representative told The Epoch Times, because it all but rendered Mr. McCarthy's January promises irrelevant, and put the House back on course to being forced by Senate Democrats and the president into agreeing to kick the can down the road yet again.
    The last time Congress approved all 12 major spending bills in regular order was 1997.
