I believe mcCarthy...he won't make any deals.....someone else will do it for him.

Who will take his place?

they suggest emmer or scalise. I don't know how this will work out but i suspect McCarthy will keep the speakership. for now.

Scalise is a good guy. But he's been there too long as is part of the swamp now.
Plus, he's battling cancer.

From Mother Jones(i spit in its general direction) when McCarthy was fighting for the speakership.

Since Wednesday, McCarthy and his supporters have been negotiating with several far-right GOPers, including some who have been implicated in Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, as my colleague Dan Friedman previously reported. House members like Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), and Scott Perry (R-Pa.) all held out on their votes, until McCarthy eventually won them over.

According to CNN, here’s what the holdouts got from McCarthy in exchange for the speakership:

Any member can call for a motion to vacate the speaker’s chair
A McCarthy-aligned super-PAC (the Congressional Leadership Fund) agreed to not spend in open Republican primaries in safe seats
The House will hold votes on key conservative bills, including a balanced budget amendment, congressional term limits, and border security
Efforts to raise the nation’s debt ceiling must be paired with spending cuts
Move 12 appropriations bills individually, instead of passing separate bills to fund government operations
More Freedom Caucus representation on committees, including the influential House Rules Committee
Cap discretionary spending at fiscal year 2022 levels, which would amount to lower levels for defense and domestic programs
72 hours to review bills before they come to floor
Give members the ability to offer more amendments on the House floor
Create an investigative committee to probe the “weaponization” of the federal government
Restore the Holman rule, which can be used to reduce the salary of government officials

these ^^^ don't seem radical to me.

Don't think Pelousy isn't laughing in her Moet y Chandon.

Jeffries initially was going to save MCCarthy but Pelosi told them not to do it.

Looks like the deep staters couldn't stop it, and couldn't do anything with Gaetz. Good. I hope their numbers are dwindling.

gaetz did good.
