Of course, he could always drop out by midnight.
You know, based on the crapblizzard that’s been blowing through.

Yep, it is a problem the GOP has. The GOP has to compromise because the Dems will not. The Dems stick like glue on issues while the GOP has several factions.

Hope he gets it but I doubt the RINOs will do their job.

It’ll be done by Friday because Israel and Ukraine need our money.

Dumb bitch, aka MTG, has been pimping Trump for the jobs for days.
Way too many fricking idiots in congress.

As a voter from his district I can say yes, I’ve always thought that he was a dark horse candidate in this.
Posted on 10/24/23 at 9:34 pm to AdamsHouseCat
Been my choice from the jump.
This would be excellent news for conservatives, America First and USA.
He’s legit, and will do a great job.
He’s such a good choice that only the GOP could frick it up.

This would be at least the third time that LA would have had a speaker-designate. Have yet to have a Speaker.

Good news. Now get it done GOP.

@JoeBiden
received $200k payment from his brother James— Hunter Biden’s business partner.
My friend
@RepJamesComer
is taking the next steps for us to hold the President accountable for his influence peddling scheme.
No one should get away with this—
——-
“ BREAKING: The Supreme Court has granted cert in the landmark free speech case in the digital era, Missouri v. Biden.”
This is big news.
Remember, the District Court called this “the most massive attack against free speech in United States history.”

@JoeBiden
's address to the nation tonight only confirms the urgent need for the U.S. to act in support of our great ally, Israel, as they fight against Hamas terrorists.
We must elect a Speaker so the House can take all necessary action to end Hamas forever.
——-
While action on the House Floor is stalled, constituent groups are still meeting on the Hill.
It was great to catch up with the Women for Gun Rights representatives today to discuss the safeguarding of our Second Amendment rights.

Happy Farmer's Day to all the farmers in my district & across this great nation!
From delicious crawfish & pecans to rice, corn, & soy we can't survive without-- farmers are the backbone of our economy & communities.
Thank you for keeping us all well fed.
———-
If you are not condemning Hamas, you are condoning the actions of vile terrorists.
All Americans should unite in support of Israel and the Jewish people.
I will always stand with Israel.

One thing that remains clear: The list of credible allegations that Joe Biden engaged in bribery schemes continues to grow.
The Constitution specifically lists bribery as a cause for impeachment.
We can't have a President that is bought & paid for by foreign adversaries.

The ongoing strikes by hardworking Americans across the country are a direct result of one thing: “Bidenomics.”

The people of this country should feel safe when visiting our nation’s capital. Congress needs to repeal the D.C. Home Rule Act to bring law & order back to Washington.
——-
In the month of September alone, we saw record high illegal border crossings. More than 260,000 undocumented migrants entered the U.S. illegally.
It’s time the Biden Admin & my Democrat colleagues start acknowledging this crisis & supporting policy to secure the southern border.
——-
Last week, I called and chaired a hearing in my Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government to examine a proposed constitutional amendment to impose term limits for Congress.
Today, we held a markup on legislation to advance the idea.
As I summarized above, this is a long overdue proposal that we should all support.

This fight is about changing the way Washington works — to force an end to the reckless spending, corruption, weaponization of federal agencies, and open borders that are destroying our country's liberty, opportunity, and security.

Last night,
@TGowdySC
and I discussed the principal threat of AG Merrick Garland:
His failed leadership and partisan actions at DOJ have caused Americans to doubt our justice system.
———
The Biden Administration is INTENTIONALLY destroying America, and we simply don’t have the votes to stop them until we win big in ‘24.
We need everyone who cares about our country to vote & help inform & engage others.
———
I asked AG Garland very fair & important questions yesterday that he was unwilling or unable to answer.
@JudiciaryGOP
has oversight responsibility over these agencies & he is obstructing our ability to fulfill that duty.
———
AG Garland was true to form today:
*Said “he couldn't recollect" speaking to anyone @ the FBI about Hunter Biden investigations
*Dodged questions about coordinating w/ David Weiss
*Said FBI whistleblowers aren’t truthful
It’s clear why 65% of Americans don’t trust his DOJ.
———
This week,
@HouseGOP
will vote to condemn
@GovMLG
’s decision to ban concealed carry in New Mexico.
It is overtly unconstitutional, functionally useless, and will only divide Americans further.
And it begs an important question: Why isn’t the DOJ involved? [Thread]
The Governor’s order plainly violates the 2nd Amendment, restricting the constitutional rights of every New Mexican.
As America’s top law enforcement agency, one would think this is the type of issue that, regardless of politics, the DOJ would intervene in.
But they have not.
Principally, we believe the less the federal gov't is involved in state affairs, the better.
That is not the issue here. The issue is the DOJ’s selective application of justice & its clear targeting of red states for passing laws that its duly elected representatives voted for.
In 2021, the DOJ sued Georgia for passing election integrity reform.
The suit failed, and Georgia had record voter turnout just a year later.
Months later, the DOJ sued Texas over laws passed to protect unborn children.
The Supreme Court refused to intervene, and statistics show that abortions in Texas have plummeted as a result.
Earlier this year, the DOJ sued Tennessee for a ban on child sex change procedures.
The 6th Circuit rejected the suit, and it is now state law.
So why hasn’t Merrick Garland hosted a press conference or announced a federal suit into New Mexico for arbitrarily suspending the constitutional rights of its citizens?
ANSWER: Because this action serves the Administration’s stated political goals.
DOJ will sue red states for passing conservative policy, while turning a blind eye to Dem governors who unilaterally curtail constitutional rights.
They will lock up grandma for protesting abortion, but refuse to prosecute violent offenders who attack pro-life pregnancy centers.
They will prosecute Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents, but give Biden a pass for even worse.
When we say that the DOJ has been weaponized, this is what we mean.
And we will continue to fight back

It's an interesting situation the republicans are in. Neither GOPe candidates nor the MAGA republicans are willing to cave. This guy seems like too big of a win for MAGA to get the nomination. Any GOPe candidate will be blocked by Gaetz and team.
I see several pro GOPe posters and even GOPe talking about how this is a huge black eye for republicans. But this is one of the battles that is long overdue. We haven't had actual conservative values in the republican party in a long time. The fact that the democrats are all in lock step means nothing to me. They all want the same thing which is more government control, taxation and corruption throughout the government. Which is also what the GOPe are pulling for. If they want what the dems want, they should switch parties.
I hope Matt Gaetz doesn't flinch for one second until we get some change in the Republican party. This is as good as any place to start.

Of all the Republican Reps from LA, I’d say Johnson is definitely the smartest and most conservative.
Watch a couple videos of him on YouTube and you’ll see.

Thanks for posting those stats. Hern is the only other one matching him in those votes. I like what I see and Mike won’t be a complete pushover
