BRING BACK TRUMP!
Maybe this was Trump’s plan all along? It would certainly get him back in the spotlight.
I want to believe this is possible…
(For anyone who doesn’t know – the Speaker does not have to be a member of Congress.)

Kevin McCarthy is still losing very badly, with more and more members of Congress opposing his ascension to Speaker of the House.
McCarthy did the 6th vote on Wednesday. He doesn’t have the votes.
He has people out there threatening people who won’t support him, and it’s not working. He is making no attempt to negotiate with the dissenters.
If they’re not afraid of Dan Crenshaw calling them terrorists, then there is no second strategy.
I’m sorry to inform you that Dan Crenshaw now views his fellow House members as terrorists – which means he’ll probably try to arm them in an illegal proxy war after putting them on the CIA payroll! https://t.co/uEVBaaa2I1

People do not like McCarthy. He is an extreme shill for the Ukraine.
He was cozy with Liz Cheney.
He is everything everyone hates. He’s a shill for big business, for war business; his policies effectively make him a Democrat.
Frankly, there are some pretty serious questions as to why Large Marge is so supportive of him.
We can only guess as to what is going on there.
It’s not clear what the next steps are, given that the group opposing him, led by national hero – now folk hero – Matt Gaetz, is not wavering.
What is clear is that Donald Trump is making even worse decisions by the day, and is now totally hitching his wagon to the sinking ship that is Kevin McCarthy.
Trump appears completely unfit to lead. He is out of touch and apparently incapable of getting in touch. He is taking advice from very bad advisors and is incapable of recalibrating.
Sean Hannity, a fat boomer retard from Fox News, called Lauren Boebert a liberal and demanded she submit to Donald Trump’s orders. She said no.
Lauren Boebert: “I am not going to support Kevin McCarthy.”
Hannity: “You will not abide by what you told President Trump you’d abide by?”
Boebert: “I love President Trump. You’re not turn me on him. You’re not going to pit him against me. I love you. I love President Trump.” pic.twitter.com/b0VA42JEP1

Laura Loomer ran into Kevin McCarthy’s gay Jewish roommate Frank Luntz, and laid down the iron law on him.
LOOMER GOING FULL JOKER MODE HAHAHAHA!!! https://t.co/b9ysoooQOe

Gaetz spoke last night on Fox News, revealing his ultimate plan to force McCarthy out.
We’re not trying to dictate terms. We represent our constituents.
Kevin McCarthy has no ideology. He’s a vessel through which lobbyists and special interests operate.

Gaetz has revealed that McCarthy is threatening to go full-Zelensky on all those who oppose him.
McCarthy is losing it.
He texted one of my colleagues who didn’t vote for him:
“I am ready to fund an endless war”
I’m assuming this is in *addition* to Ukraine.

I guess we’ll see how that works out.
Gaetz is willing to let a Democrat win. Crenshaw the Zioclops says he’s not voting for anyone other than his warmongering butt-buddy McCarthy, presumably meaning he is also willing to let a Democrat win.
I think a Democrat should win. Kevin McCarthy isn’t going to do anything different than a Democrat would do, so it literally doesn’t even matter. Also, if a Democrat wins Speaker, they won’t be able to get anything done anyway. The whole thing will be deadlocked, which will be very good for the economy and just good in general.
As of Thursday morning, the sonovabitching McCarthy is still squatting in the Speaker’s office. He will not leave.

“He’s a desperate guy whose vote share is dropping w/ every subsequent vote & I’m ready to vote all night, all week, all month & never for that person.”
Also asks why Kevin is still squatting in Speaker’s office.pic.twitter.com/xlDbcNNLAC

He’s going to have to leave.
