"Republicans are harder on Gaetz than they are on Jamaal Bowman, Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi and Hunter Biden combined because crooks and communists pose no threat to the RINO cash flow. Gaetz does."

Perfect. Could add Trump to that too

Newt lost me when he sat on the Global warming couch with Nancy years ago. Just another bought out fraud like Hannity Levin and all others.

Way to go Matt Gaetz

This alone justifies the drama: "Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was ordered to “immediately” vacate her Capitol hideaway office by Wednesday as she slammed acting speaker Patrick McHenry’s decision as a “sharp departure from tradition.”

Hey Newt, if you want to expel Matt Gaetz then you need to move here and vote against him in the next election. And make sure to bring a lot of your quisling buddies along because he won 80% of the vote in 2022. Otherwise, respect the will of the people and leave our duly elected representative alone.

Yesterday, we got to witness the way government under a Representative Republic SHOULD operate. We finally saw the courage of a patriot spitting in the eye of the uniparty. The opinion of the majority of Americans were represented in Congress.

The boos in Congress show me their real feelings toward 75 million Trump voters. So, for those booing, please find another place to live. The outcome will be fascinating to watch unfold. I can only hope this courage won't be wasted.

This vote to oust McCarthy clearly shows that all but 8 of the House Republicans are Rinos. Very disappointed in Jim Jordan! My rep in AL sided with McCarthy. It is so true. The Republicans continue to do nothing to save our nation. Zilch! Nada! The Democrat party is the varsity team. The Republican party is the freshman team. Same play book. God help us!

House Republicans’ ability to govern?

My top two additions - leaving the J6 prisoners to rot in jail with no constitutional rights. As far as I know, the only person in congress to even visit them was Marjorie Taylor Greene. And number 2 - McCarthy promising to release ALL of the J6 videos and then sitting on them instead. Unforgivable.

Honest to God, Don, this article quite literally brought me to tears!

“House Republicans ability to govern??!”

For anyone out there who didn’t know it already, this kabuki theater drama should crystallize for you once and for all that, maybe, and only just maybe, there are about 4 or 5 people in our so-called “representative” party who actually give a damn about the current State of our Union.

We now will get to watch the sequel to yesterday’s “show” as they set about to introduce the “new boss”, same as the “old boss”.

At bottom, this is a revolt against the 'uniparty' of which McCarthy clearly is a major member. He was supported as leader to control rebel conservatives. 'America First' is anathema to the uniparty and populism is their new dirty word which they use to smear those wanting a stronger America and who want a greater focus on the well-being of Americans. Ukraine, like Afghanistan and Iraq, cannot be formed by force into a freedom-loving country which mirrors American values. We have no idea, because the uniparty will not tell us what their goals in Ukraine are. The Ukraine war will only be stopped when Congress cuts off the money for it, like they did to end the Vietnam war. While the swamp wants more war, the majority of Americans want a negotiated end to war right now. McCarthy was helping the effort to preserve defense funding and keeping war going. He needed to go from his key leadership position if we are going to have a chance to end this madness.

Looks to me like Gingrich pulled up to Karl Rove's Juicy Pig sandwich drive-in in South Austin and had him one of those greasy pork sliders. Wipe your mouth Newt.

Seeing Patrick McHenry slam the gavel on the block in anger makes me want to place his head on said block and repeat the gavel stunt to his head. What a traitor.

I think Courage and A Trump Supporter amount to the same thing.

"Democrats wisely go by the Benedict Arnold Rule: never trust a turncoat."

A bitter lesson for Kevin. He gave the Dems nearly everything they wanted. It would have been everything but for a handful of stalwart conservatives. But even so, they didn't rescue him.

The ultimate scenario would be for Trump to become speaker the plead he cannot be bothered with these sham trials because he has a government to run. Go for it Republicans if you’ve got the ………
