The Republicans refuse to accept victory and do everything in their power to shoot themselves in the foot.

There is about a 100% chance the next speaker will be better than McCarthy. This doesn’t bother me at all, maybe the next speaker will follow through on promises that get him elected.

How dare they have independent thoughts, they should stay in mindless lockstep like democrats.

Hey, the old fool in the White House, he’s our leader, don’t ask questions, just fall in line.

Oh to be dumb and dependent, life would be so much simpler, lol.

Exactly what big girl, ut alum, and donthecon do.  They don’t have the ability to think for themselves.  Follow like the good sheeple they are.

Matt Gaetz the leader of the 8 morons. He tries to say it wasn't personal but it was nothing but personal.

When your first comment is "I could vote for almost anybody but McCarthy" it was nothing but personal.

Those buffoons just can't help themselves.

Yes, we have a clown in the white house that I cannot stand but this crap today is just total dysfunction.

What did McCarthy not follow through with?

Cutting spending promises with no follow through, according to reports coming out he was a guy that would promise whatever it took to appease whoever he was dealing with.  E-verify, Ukraine funding, there seems to be plenty of policies conservatives would have a problem with.

A squishy moderate has been removed, hopefully we can do better.

Republicans try a different path since results weren’t what was expected and get slammed, while the Dims sit on their thumbs while their cities are burned and looted and people turn a blind eye. 

Folks scream how they are tired of the big spending good old boy system in Washington but when something is done about it folks melt down.  Relax, folks, I’m sure when the smoke clears another big spending moderate will be in place and you can resume your lives.

smh

24/7 crying, coping, and flip flopping on your belief system depending on who’s in office

If dims are so stupid, how do they keep winning these elections?

There should be no Republican who thinks this was a win.....Any speaker will be limited on what he can get done with such a small majority.

I’ll go for at least “as stupid”. It’s hard to do the right thing when all you’re really worried about (as a politician) is garnering favor for votes, payoffs, positions or any other self-serving thing you can come up with.

If we get Steve Scalise or Jim Jordan or the like, it's a win, I guess I'm that one Republican.

McCarthy wasn't much different that a democrat.

Either way, we'll get through it.

      To the Fans Who Complain About Referees

      By Preach · Posted

      I get it!!  I was once in your shoes. I was that person in the stands, loudly complaining about “bad officiating.” Now, with the rise of social media, it’s easier than ever to voice these criticisms online.  I thought I could see every call better than the officials on the floor. Then someone said to me, “If you can do better, get in the game.”   That challenge changed my life. Over 20 years ago, I became a basketball official, and what I’ve learned since then is eye-opening.   Officiating is not just about making calls. It’s about managing the game, the players, the coaches, and yes, the fans. We face a new generation of student-athletes who have been raised in a culture where everyone gets a trophy and losing is almost taboo. We deal with fans who question our integrity and sometimes become outright hostile.   I acknowledge that officials aren’t perfect; we have off days just like anyone else. However, the increasing hostility from fans is driving many to leave officiating. According to the National Federation of High School Associations, approximately 50,000 high school officials have left the profession since the 2018-19 season, with fan behavior being a significant factor.    Here’s the reality: without officials, there is no game.   So, instead of tearing down the people who make your games possible, here’s a suggestion:   • Thank the officials for being part of the game. • Thank them for the countless hours they spend studying rules, mastering mechanics, and working to improve. • Thank them for their patience with privilege-minded athletes and overly aggressive fans.   Next time you see an official, instead of criticizing, take a moment to say, “Thank you.” They’re out there to make the game happen, and trust me, it’s not as easy as it looks from the stands.   If you think you can do better, take the challenge like I did. Get in the game. You might just discover how much it takes to blow that whistle.
