#1 Although it is legal, I don’t think a Trump speakership would last long under the current House rules. He has enough on his plate anyway. What is needed is someone who is able to work strategically to achieve a goal. Gaetz proved to be a better tactician than McCarthy, but what is needed is a person who won’t get rolled like McCarthy did on the debt ceiling.

#2 Problem is determining who can face down the Deep State and still survive.

#3 Part of the issue is the high number of House Republicans who support the Deep State.

#4 Alan and super Hose have it right. The tide is turning and the deep state is going to strike back. Kicking Pelosi out of her office was a good strike, but she will retaliate. The GOP needs to understand in this next election there will be no quarter, the FBI will be involved, the media will be in rare form, and the cheating will be out of control. This is all great theater, the Deep state will burn down this nation before they allow control to be lost. If we dont get hit with another infectious disease, I would expect attacks on the grid and other infrastructure. Lots of false flag events and cheating at a new level. I have not forgotten that my vote for president did not count, due to cheating, Most of America is in a lull and in disbelief. I just cant see a happy ending in all this...

#6 We edge ever closer to the Box Three solution becoming reality, and the sad reality that presents.

Tucker and VDH had an engrossing conversation, in which it became apparent that we, the collective we that constitutes this readership, own some of the guilt for what is coming. Like most here, my focus and awareness was outside the wire, when the 5th column was in the mess hall, laundry and schoolhouse. I am reminded of the HUAC Hearings and the Senator McCarthy moment in the Senate-Army hearings, as the moment vigilance against the Marxist menace became unpopular and the sepsis began. Despite his personal failings, McCarthy was actually focused on the right threats, he just was a deeply flawed point-man!

"Clean-Up on Aisle 2024" is going to need a lot more than just mops.

Nor can I.

We've still got well over a year of this witless POS and his D.C. communist cohorts to deal with.

What? McCarthy wasn't rolled. Don't be naive. He's been making side deals all along. McCarthy is and always has been a snake.

#9 Yes. McCarthy wasn't ousted for failing to keep promises he made. He was ousted for making promises he had no intention to keep.

#10 McCarthy's televised press conference Horatio Alger, (me, me, me) good bye story was gag worthy.

No pledge to provide a smooth transition for the new guy or gal. No commitment to work toward a unified party.

Typical bitterender all the way.

#11 Prophecy.2
I know from my prophetic thinking that Trump would become president again without an election and would enter the presidency in an unusual manner.
What it does mean is; that when Biden and Harris are impeached, Trump becomes President
This is very possible especially considering the clues includes Trump gives out. Why did he say that Biden would be out in 5 months or less than 5 months? Wouldn't that land an inauguration on March 4th?
Isn't that when presidents were initially inaugurated?
As I keep saying, things are not as they appear

#13 Think of the irony of Trump sitting in Pelosi's former office. We can dream.

#14 Frank, I think Joe has discovered Devolution. The concept emerges through his brain like Miller High Life filtered through a muddy athletic sock.
