    They don't support McCarthy because he isn't rabid enough for them. He doesn't want to try Biden for treason at Guantanamo or hang Mike Pence or execute Hillary Clinton for something.

    But don't think Republicans accomplished nothing. They got metal detectors removed so they can bring in guns.

    We need a special thread for @THE HCP for politics. I don't know what the fuck any of these people are! All political posts should be merged into the MELO thread.

    At what point will people realize that a party that hates government, that campaigns against it and free elections, may actually know nothing about how to govern?

    They cant even elect a Speaker, let alone pass a bill.

    Authoritarian dictatorships like the GOP seem to want to morph into give all the power to one asshole who decides who to kill, who to jail, who to send to war, who to invade, etc......they are the "fuck human rights because we don't want to think about complicated stuff " party these days. Insurrection sounds too much like insert erection to these rabid white guys with their parades and fire power. We're at a real crossroads as to our identity as a nation these days. The frightening aspect to me is that this isn't a WWII generational movement..it's filled with young whack jobs like Boebert and Gaetz and MTG

    Hakeem Jeffries got more votes for speaker than McCarthy.

    Embarrassing that the guy the "hardliners" want in place of Mccarthy is a guy who looked the other way at Ohio State while a horrific sexual abuse scandal was going on.

    No wonder Gaetz is backing him.

    Precisely. When I saw that Gaetz was calling for him, I had to find out what was wrong with him. The connection was obvious and disgusting.

    If these ass hats can't even agree on the color of shit, how can they be expected to govern?

    Their other option is Steve Scalise, who called himself David Duke without the baggage

    Yes, hard for resident Republicans to justify the actions of those they "loved".

    In a 4th and 5th vote, McCarthy could yet again not draw enough votes to become speaker.
