McCarthy is out! 216-210 Patrick McHenry of NC is the temporary replacement.

This is crazy. I don’t care about McCarthy, but you’ve got a group of panty waste Republicans who only want their way. What a bunch of pussies.

Our problems are much, much larger than who's going to be the speaker. :roll:

McCarthy made a bunch of promises to get that job and agreed that he'd pay with that job if he broke those promises.

He broke all of the promises. He should have been gone months ago. Passing Democrat priorities with Democrat votes is disgraceful. Frankly, I'm surprised the Democrats didn't rally around him to save him. He's the best thing they could have wished for.

Democrats are stupid. They should have voted to save McCarthy. He was the best thing they could have hoped for. Having McCarthy in the Chair was just like having Pelosi in the Chair.

These are the same people who criticized the Pubs for wanting to shut down the government, and then tried to stall the vote on the continuing resolution.

The first action by the temporary replacement was to kick Pelosi out of her office. :D

I can actually agree with that. McCarthy was willing to compromise with half of the elected officials and not cowtow to the loud-mouthed opposition.
