The rare gotcha. I’m humbled, truly.

Naw I’m still right, and now, interestingly, have at least a faint idea of the numbers of misguided we’re working with here.

The truly misguided here are those who believe that voting for a Republican — any Republican — is going to bring lasting change to Washington D.C. Some degree of gridlock is the very best outcome we can expect.

Yet for the1000th time, any vote in this UniParty® charade is ultimately a vote for the left or right wing of the Deep State. It ultimately is an exercise in Sisyphean futility.

Speaker McCarthy? Speaker Johnson?

I think it's obvious we would be at this same place right now. What Johnson's speakership proves is how easy it is for the Bureaucratic State to turn a lukewarm America First/MAGA congressman into an unashamed DC Uniparty Skunk......but Johnson may have been a D.C. Uniparty Skunk from the get go, just as McCarthy is.

So many on here claim to hate slimy, career professional politicians, but then love Matt Gaetz.

It’s all BS

The leader of the movement understandably angry with the speaker did zero to stop this outcome. He could have put a finger on the scale but did not.

No one is coming to help

It was obvious back in October but for some reason the majority on the board attacked those who turned out to be correct. So those who were wrong back then should probably think about that.

Matt Gaetz appreciation thread.

Were the down voters mentally fragile or were they correct?

America First/MAGA has been part of the uniparty/establishment for quite some time.

Exactly.

We face an inflection point today in our political future. Mike Johnson demonstrated pragmatic leadership in scorning cheap partisan politics and making the right moves to shepherd the funding bill cross the finish line. Reactionaries like Gaetz and MTG are the real problem in Washington

it is very strange that the neverTrumpers don't seem to care about America's further demise. They sound like democrats trying to pull weak gotchas.

What is their logical outcome? Do they think Nikki Haly, McCarthy or DeSantis wouldn't do the establishments' bidding?

Why do they hate America first? Why don't they realize that America is going to the crapper while we funnel billions to fake proxy wars?

I challenge them to post facts that ISIS was NOT created and Victoria Nuland wasn't a Cheney/Bush robot. Or that in 2014 we didn't perform a color revolution w/ the State Dept in Ukraine and place a puppet and many other countries.

Didn't democrats, fake independent moderates, libertarians, whine about Halliburton and Cheney; and now they adore Lizzie, proxy fake wars and her crazed dad & are neocons and neoliberals. It is nuts

too early to say if Johnson will reduce the camps within the house, but his introduction was a positive start. The republicans were going absolutely nowhere with Kevin McCarthy, which had to go. Take the immediate win
