Ok wtf CNN. Decided to take a look. First line:

Republicans on the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus are considering quitting the group “en masse” after Democratic members voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker, a GOP member said.

I'm sorry who called for his removal and actually cast the votes that kicked him out?

ThirdWorldOrder,

CNN is just as bad as McCarthy trying to play both sides and failing for both. What a deplorable outlet.

MDKAOD,

I deleted my previous comment as it was incorrect, but I already received replies, so le tme correct myself. Some are accusing CNN of shifting right pretty aggressively.

ThirdWorldOrder,

You’re absolutely correct. Now they just piss everybody off.

They should be reminded that McCarthy lied to the Dems several times.

FlexibleToast,

The guy backed out of the deal he agreed to and then brought forward an impeachment investigation on Biden and then expected the democrats to protect him. The guy played himself like a fiddle.

He also went on meet the press Sunday and accused the Dems of trying to shut the government down.

That 15 vote crucifixion last time was so funny/humiliating. I wish this was even more drawn out. Like it’s 40k years into the future and they’re still voting out the God House Speaker of Mankind but can’t get enough moderate republicans to do it.

Lol. Lmao, even

copandballtorture,

Does he get to keep his seat as a rep for Bakersfield, or is he out of the House entirely? If it’s the latter, only 434 to go countdown

StalinwasaGryffindor,

He’s just out as speaker, it won’t affect the seat count. Still should be funny to watch the republicans try to elect a replacement. Plus, no legislation for a while which is a win in my book

PowerCrazy,

no legislation for a while which is a win in my book

This is literally what the republicans want and also why government shutdowns occur.

StalinwasaGryffindor,

It’s not like anything good will come out of a Republican led house. Plus it makes America look like more of a joke. I don’t see any downside to this

Then it has to be better.

Edit: On Firefox for Android, this cut off the last ~⅓ or so of the article, but requesting the desktop version fixed it. YMMV.

Chaos ensues. I’m very much interested in the long-term plan of pedo-Geatz.

long-term plan of pedo-Geatz.

You’re funny.

Modern Democrats are the ones that game theorize themselves into complete indolence.

Modern Republicans, on the other hand, are like that scorpion from The Scorpion and the Frog. All they know how to do is blindly attack, and in their echo chamber of the house, where they had the power to preemptively sideline their enemies, of course they start stinging each other. It’s all Republicans went there to do: attack, tear down, destroy.

Just ask Bohner and Ryan, the last 2 appointed scorpion wranglers.

paddirn,

Isn’t Gaetz himself likely to get ousted after a House Ethics report comes out on him?

ThirdWorldOrder,

Yes. Most republicans did not want this to happen.

It’s basically a system with three parties where no one has a majority and no one wants to concede anything.

He didn't get ousted after all that sex trafficking of children he did. Maybe Republicans are sick enough of him that he will be expelled, but I'm not holding my breath.
