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!

Siding with this cuck is never going to be the play. He wants to oust McCarthy but only to replace him with someone more extreme. Better to let these idiots keep having a gasoline fight than to pick the literal pedophile nazi caucus in some misguided attempt to resolve this issue.
Let the country see which side is consistently driving them off a cliff. Many won't care. But others will take notice.
They already did that with house speaker Dennis Hastert (R ).
Pedophilia issues aside, the Neocon Republicans that put Hastert in power hardly resemble today’s quasi-fascist Republicans.
Won't this result in them kicking Mccarthy out, and then failing over and over and over to vote on someone new, utterly paralyzing themselves into a parapetic fit? Do they block government of they can't get a speaker voted in?
Well they would need to unify their entire party to get the votes needed and they've proven they can't do that. So whichever literal nazi they suggest won't even come close to getting the votes.
So certainly what could happen is mckkkarthy comes crawling to the democrats to try and get their vote which isn't happening without major concessions. He might succeed but best of luck when it comes time for reelection. They'll call him a traitor to their republican nazi cause and vote in someone twice as fascist and racist.
In either case the most important thing is we keep hammering home the truth. These people are traitors to this nation. They have consistently shown they cannot handle these positions of power and will outright try to overthrow democracy if they don't get their way. Don't let up on that message. Make sure all the rural fucks in Idaho and Ohio hear it. The message has to be louder then their closet pedophile uncle Carl's Facebook posts that suggest the opposite. It's not that hard.
