"Newt Gingrich dumped toxins in the lake of America, and he's now complaining about a 3-eyed fish called Matt Gaetz?"

[Burner]

When does the business of the American people get priority? Things like skyrocketing drug prices, gun safety, the homeless American veterans and their mental health, and many other priorities.

[TheMrdrop]

"The last straw was McCarthy working with house democrats to avert a government shutdown". Translation: "The last straw was then McCarthy worked with house democrats to actually get something done to benefit the American people."

I want all military personnel to remember that MATT GAETZ WOULD RATHER SEE YOU NOT GET PAID (even though he still would) THAN SEE ANY REPUBLICAN WORK WITH DEMOCRATS TO GET SOMETHING POSITIVE ACCOMPLISHED.

[AdrianColley]

When Newt Gingrich says you're going too far, you can't really deny it any more.

[anaashb]

Uh oh! Somebody made daddy Trump unhappy by keeping the Goverment working. Que Matt, DT's little errand boy!

[HappyForDaz]

Not even talking policy anymore just drama within a party. Such a distraction

[wilfriedholscher]

Merrick Garland should have gone after those Members of Congress involved in the J6 Insurrection. We would not be going through this crap now. Afterall indictments would deterr continued Criminal rhetoric.

[ValTyalin]

What happened to the criminal case against Matt Gaetz? Disappeared?

[vernalc]

Oh boy. Another week long vote for a speaker while the House does NOTHING...again.

Look the Children are about to Eat each other quick get the popcorn..

Breaking News: Kevin McCarthy is _shocked_ to learn traitors have no sense of loyalty.

[mfoco]

Gingrich needs to accept responsibility for the role he played in fostering the very environment that allows Trump, Gaetz, MTG et al to function as they do. The GOP / Gingrich slogan could easily be "all mouth and no ethics"

[jean-francoisdaignault]

“The country is paying”.

I beg to differ : the entire world is paying.

Remember us? We exist too.

[treblelatrice]

Tr--ps rhetoric is really getting out of hand... The way the crowd cheers is just crazy. Shoot a shoplifter? Dude, you’ve been committing fraud for yeeeears. Do you deserve that same treatment??

[buddy]

Kevin McCarthy working at the pleasure of the Democrats ?
I can live with that..
At least something will get done.

This is a joke. They are trying to keep us distracted with this bs 😢

[lancemiller]

How pathetic is it when you have a politician who will do anything for attention. I so hope voters wake up and vote this fool out of

[jwkm]

Yup! Newt Gingrich was the original bad seed who's now concerned about reaping what he sowed.

[GarryD]

What’s so wrong about preventing a shutdown? I heard the government employees still have to work and do their jobs even though they won’t get paid for it. 😢

[charlemetterobinson]

This will be entertaining for sure, I'm here for it!!!!
