Way to go, Repubs. You have given us a Speaker who has no power, let alone a spine.

This is NOT what We The People want but it seems like nobody gives a dam what we

It took 15 days for the payola checks to clear 😂

First thing they will do is a tax cut for the top 1%.

Anyone that says that this isn’t embarrassing is lying

15? -- what a vote of confidence, and what a joke.

McCarthy says he'll use the power of the subpoena to get the job done. America is still waiting for McCarthy's compliance with the subpoena he received. He's pathetic.

[bryanensley]

So basically, he is going to waste our time and money instead of helping the American people. What a waste.

And the establishment crime syndicate wins again.

Now Kevin McCarthy, and his buddies, can begin the process of looting the Defense budget of another 40 billion.

After voting 15 times McCarthy finally got what he wanted. What exactly was the definition of an "Election Denier" again?

So the leadership stays with California, you know the state with all of its people leaving in droves because they’ve done everything wrong.

And did he really say fight the swamp, as a spineless leach living in the swamp?

Looks like a bunch of criminals giving themselves a pat on the back for sticking it to the people again

[oneofgodschildren]

This was all a distraction. Wake up people FFS

Didn't the WEF accidentally announced that this guy would win a few days ago?

[scottrobbe]

Horrible pick, Jim Jordan was the only man for the job

[ParryHotter]

I like the music but it makes the entire ordeal feel like a political themed Netflix drama 😆

[miketobin]

Glad he won, butt what does this say for the process? The vote is forever and ever until he wins? Really? How is this productive?

On behalf of the empathic, intelligent, and well-educated citizens of California, I apologize to the rest of the United States for the chaos and empathy-deficient leadership you're about to witness for the next 2 years.

My sincere apologies...
