#1 Sort of begs the question. Why didn't McCarthy take this action upon his appointment as speaker ?

#3 It's called "collegiality." It means the minority party holds the tube of lube while the leftists give us the backsider.

#4 Weird that McCarthy’s buddy would make this action the hallmark of his speakership. It seems akin to straightening the Dorito rack after the BLM crowd has ransacked your minimart. Can’t say that I am sympathetic to Pelosi.

#5 Not familiar with McHenry but comes from a solid R district. Considering this list is submitted upon taking the office, it could be that McCarthy thought he could boost his conservative bona fides on the cheap by having him at top of the list. It's a good start.

#6 and this helps the runaway budget how?
and this helps the open borders how?
and this stops supporting street criminals how?

Just another Kabuki dance.

#8 Anyone can be speaker providing they have the votes.

Even Volodya.

#9 A non-member can be speaker. Trump would need virtually all the House GOP caucus to be installed into the job he doesn’t want. He would then be subject to a motion to vacate by a single member. I am not sure whether any prominent House GOP leader would want the job. It looks as if passing a continuing resolution instead of a budget gets you removed unless the Dems support you staying. A bunch of Dem votes are a kiss of death to your political future.

#10 I wonder of the Dims think they can get Jefferies installed?
