The 6 holdouts, of the 20, holdouts, are all election-denying MAGA extremists who got everything they wanted from McCarthy.
These people defended the 1/6 terrorists, just as Trump has said he would pardon them.
The insurrectionists control the House, 2 yrs after 1/6.
As I understand it, McCarthy agreed to some major bullshit that would allow a single member of congress to challenge his speaker-hood and demand a vote of no confidence---
If I was in congress that would happen Monday morning and I'd had three others ready to do it on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I would make it happen every day.
I agree. I have forced myself to watch Fox every so often to see what the other side absorbs. This takes a lot on my part and I could NEVER see one of them doing this with MSNBC, CNN or any other similar media outlet. It takes patience and will power and I don't think the cult has it in them... hence, the cult.

I suspect something different.
Those 20 extremist holdouts will have pissed off McCarthy so badly that no matter what concessions he made to get their votes today, he's going to make them pay it back...with heavy interest.
They pissed off the rest of the GOP as well.
Like the January 6th, 2021, insurrectionists, the legislative terrorists of 2023 only get 15 minutes of fame. They're already has-beens.

@mittfh @msignorile
Spot on. After the joke they made of themselves, they'll try to keep their shit together and play happy families with McCarthy, at least the majority will...however, MTG, Gaetz, Boebert, etc, are the problem kids from hell.
I'm hoping McCarthy reneges on the deals he made with the psychos and accelerates the GOP's cannibalistic frenzy, which has been a slow roast the last two years, but got hot as hell since the midterms. 🦴🤡🔪
Mixed metaphors. 😬🙄
And that call from #Trump was PLANNED!!!!
63 GOP billionaire donors funded Trump's coup on Jan 6.
They funded a cover-up for a coup & got 35 witnesses, accomplices & participants to plead the 5th or fake memory loss.
In 2020, these donors also bought 6 religious zealots as Supreme Court Justices, 147 election deniers, 52 corrupt Senators, & a compromised DOJ, FBI, SEC, FEC, DOD, IRS, CIA, & Secret Service.
These donors spent $1.1B buying a 2022 midterm Pyrrhic victory & hijacked a Speakership.
The coup and seditious conspiracy continues because the dark money behind it continues.
The Republican billionaire donors funding sedition.
Koch. Murdoch. Griffin. Uihlein. Schwarzman. Ellison. Thiel. Yass. Mercer. Hendricks. Fancelli. Lauder. Putin. Mohammed bin Salman. Alwaleed bin Talal. Prigozhin. Wynn. DeVos. Marcus. Schwab. Buckley. Tim Dunn. Farris Wilks. Barre Seid.
The guillotine isn't a solution.
The Reign of Terror during the French Revolution brought about Napoleon's despotic rule. France never really regained its full preeminence after Napoleon was defeated.
What did work?
Democratic reforms in the UK and Europe that turned despotic monarchy into democracy.
I think we need a revolution, but if we can be more Havel and less Robespierre about it, that would be great! 😀
What Americans overlook is that the slave owners won't be themselves American.
Brazilian plutocrats own most meat processing plants. China owns several mines & most chip production. Murderous Saudi princes own energy production.
Genocidal Russian oligarchs own aluminum plants. #MoscowMitch won reelection based off that.
Republicans take dark money from anyone, literally anyone, to "win" elections & get power & control of American democracy for the global 1%.
Russians miss their serfs.
OPEC misses their oil addicts.
Apartheid-era South Africans miss their exploited masses.
China misses their Maoist zealots.
Red states miss Jim Crow carceral labor & plantation slavery.
Fundamentalist religions miss voiceless women barefoot & pregnant.
Capitalism misses its coal towns where housing, food, & wages come only from the owners.
Financial services miss their "Greater Fools" who have invested life savings with them.
