That’s Sunnydaze’s whole point. We have no say in the matter; we have no solution. We are a Representative Republic but we have to say how’s that working out for you. We can call and write letters but all seems to fall on deaf ears - and I’ve tried. Kevin McCarthy is in the pockets of the DS - no doubt in my mind. When he voted for the first 40B to Ukraine, he immediately fell off my radar. He’s been bought. The five holdouts have some character left but that’s a very small percentage and if they can’t bring anymore patriots to their side AND if the rest of the mercenaries vote “present” - well, we get the S.O.S.
Both sides are the same. Behind closed doors, they're scratching each other's backs. If any of them represented US, would they have their own healthcare system, lifelong pensions after 6 yr, and PAYRAISES, when they haven't missed a paycheck but Americans and AMERICA are going BANKRUPT? If you didnt recognize the blatant theatre with the predicted, non-materializing "red wave" at midterms and how the Republicans got "just enough" for a "slight" majority to give us a "smidgen" of hope of turning things around...it's so obvious if you stop and look at it. They just take turns pointing their fingers at each other, playing good cop/bad cop, red vs blue, to get us fighting amongst ourselves and while we're distracted, they rob us blind. We'll never have a chance if "we the people" don't come together and realize the battle isn't between the Republicans against the Democrats, it's the government against the citizens. Watch the white dog in this video. It's the US govt.
I don't think I'm missing the point. I essentially agree with you on McCarthy. I'm asking for an alternative, anyone else. The five "patriots" (your words) are not presenting an alternative. Remember, the Speaker does not have to be an elected member of the House. I think your patriots are as much of a problem as McCarthy. Propose a solution, please.
Let’s put it this way since you’re unwilling to move from your position of continuing to ask for a solution. I won’t ask you for yours since you apparently have none. it appears that several of us seem to think there will be no solution until the people vote in those that will do what we vote them in to do. My opinion. In the meantime, however, the devil we know is better than the devil we don’t know. When Trump is back in office, (and he endorsed him) he can keep an eye on McCarthy and “persuade” him into doing what’s best for the country. That’s in the near term, however, it will be up to us to keep that watchful eye on our elected officials and not let them have Carte Blanche as we have done in the past. We got fat and lazy. No comments please. That was just a turn of phrase.
Thank you for that. And I got a quick peek at another suggestion: Tulsi. While I think all of the above would do a terrific job, the only solution IMHO is to let the devil we know continue on while we watch the show unfold. We were so underwater for such a long time, and our whole legislative body is infiltrated and driven by money along with our judiciary it may take years before we see any light. I know now that I hardly knew anything about all this until Trump came into office (which I believe was the strategy from the beginning). It is going to take quite a while to sort all this out. I think we are taking small steps to reach the top avoiding a fall rather than leaping from one rung to another ensuring a fall. Keep watching.
You’re missing the point. We get no choice. Besides this is all theatre anyway. All the “holdouts”. Now, as of late today there is supposedly 12 😂 Whatever. It’s just a show to make the brain dead think there was another option when we fully know they will select McCarthy the rino to run the circus. Clowns gotta do what clowns gotta do. Pppfffttt
Everything you said may be true, but we still need a speaker. Your solution?

Out of the box, but I wouldnt mind Tulsi for Speaker

My solutions. Lee Zelden. If he won't do it, Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise.
