Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's true, but that doesn't mean it's a bad move. Removing their Speaker would delay certain things on their agenda, and they know this.
The infighting within the Republican Party has been fascinating to watch. From not being able to pick a speaker to now the far right holding his position hostage.
It’s funny how McCarthy out played Gaetz by announcing the impeachment inquiry right before Gaetz’s speech. It felt like it took the winds out of his sails as you could see he had to adjust what he had rehearsed.
I hope the speaker sees how out of touch and damaging to Republicans the impeachment would be and he’s posturing but you never know with these people.
Any chance you have a clip of Gaetz being blue balled?
inserts any clip of Gaetz
I’ll chip in a dollar to get rid of this cunt.
Careful what you wish for. This could be MTG’s way back into the spotlight and into the Freedumb Caucus.
When the options are "a useless Speaker" and "an actively damaging Speaker," I'll choose the former.
I’m with you on that!
