Meanwhile over in the House

Haley is wrong. It is probably Mitch McConnell.

You get everything wrong.

No, it's not Mitch McConnell. Maybe at one time, but you've been shown to be living in the past on numerous occasions.

I find that hard to believe. What is your source of information?

Once again, you get everything wrong.

You think his popularity has improved since his brain freeze moments? LOL!!!!!!!!!
Feinstein had a brain freeze moment and where is she right now? MM might very well have one foot in the grave too. These egocentric politicians don't know when to resign.

Can you imagine a democrat speaker being removed?
No, because the dems would support their own no matter how criminal their behavior.
Just look at how they continue to support Joe Biden.

You think the scumbag ‘freedom caucus’ removed Mcarthy because he’s a criminal.
Trump ordered Mcarthy to shut down the government, he kept it open so trump ordered his removal and that’s exactly what these henchmen have done, from the Kremlin to mar a largo to the heart of your government. Wake up!

Amen. Maybe the repubs will learn from this, though, alas, I fear it is too late. These moments are ripe for Democratic Pouncing!!

I fear it is too late. These moments are ripe for Democratic Pouncing!!

It is too late Joe. Democrats are sitting back, watching Republicans "eat their own." Matt Gaetz and his little band of loonies forgot one of the cardinal rules of politics: "If you break it, you bought it!" You can't pin this one on the Lib's. The lunatic fringe of the right wing created this mess - now they own it. 😏

What we pin on the libs is the wild expenditure of the future, creating debt for our children. While you make their 'geennnnnder' so all-important an issue, we concentrate on their having a great, normal future. That's about it. So, 8 repubs agree with me that we have to stop your spending. The Speaker did not do his job, meet his commitments. Maybe we can put Kamala in charge.
This is just one more step to complete my prediction,,,,,you will win in the end. Your new voting block across the border will wrap it up, if not in 2024, for sure in 2028. My family, though, will be fine as we watch all this happen.......until the day you knock on my door!!

Typical MAGA believes him and eight others should run the country of over 300 million. Trump mini me’s or what.

I'd rather have Biden run the country.

Yeah, you’re not paranoid at all, are you?

Bloody snowflake.

I watched with mild surprise as speaker McCarthy was removed.

Interviews with Republican house members on both FOX News and CNN sounded much like this.

"How can we ask the voters to let us govern our country, if we can't even govern ourselves?" 😏

This is a result of running a political party that only focuses on anti-liberalism. Sure, that's a noble goal for your constituents, but what do you do when you're in charge? It turns out you do nothing.

Seriously, I am truly amazed at the TIME and MONEY our govt spends, arguing within the confines of their domains about Each Other. Nothing done about policy and programs for the people.
Like, if a farmer and his wife are fighting all day in the house while the crops and produce rot in the fields.

How is it a "noble goal" for anyone?

Saying you're anti-something, doesn't mean you are "for" the opposite, and we see that here.

I would never say anti-conservative, I would just say liberal. This says what I am for plainly. But, you know, politicians...

You are sounding like a philosophos, we all have diff definitions of phrases like 'noble goal. Your politicians push a narrative that only big government can provide for our citizens, that it is too difficult to get ahead on one's own. They stifle one's dreams to pull themselves up, individual opportunity, individual thinking, telling them were born with no future, and that they should vote, and depend, on the government. Shame on you liberals. Telling people that 'noble goals' are a Suzy Fairy tale.
By this alone, you stifle their goals.

Sounds like the farmer and his wife need more Mexicans to pick their crops

A noble goal of an elected representative would be to do things that your constituents are asking you to do.
