Which ruins was she humilated 14 times to get the job for Speaker.
She resigned from leadership position last year in a graceful and celebratory manner.

It is the new Speaker you should feel sorry for because this house will be chaotic in the coming days or months.

That's how you know people who don't know what's going on in the world. Just leave them

Republican have enough number to win at first ballot...needing 218 votes..they are 222.....Democrats are 213 ...so, they don't have the number to make 218.

Certain Republican Reps, about 20 are angry with McCarthy , so they were voting against him... against the wish of the party.
That explains why it took 15 rounds of voting.. because Democrats don't have the number and they can't vote for Republican.

Do you understand now

Can you call yourself Werey now

Yes you are correct, but there is no law or rule preventing Democrats from voting for McCarthy or Republicans. They just felt that, this is a Republican mess and they should sort it out themselves.

McCarthy is going to be the weakest and toothless Speaker of the House for centuries to come. In the House rules he negotiated with the 20 Republican hardliners, he gave away all his powers, the only thing left for him to give away is his Speaker’s gavel and Speaker’s office.

Any one member including Democrats can stop legislature, move to remove him from being the chair, offer amendments….in fact the 118th Congress wouldn’t be able to function or pass meaningful bills that would ever become law for this next two years.

The next fight that will expose McCarthy’s weakness will be to raise the debt ceiling, which is a normal business and was raised each time without fanfare under Trump, I see America been brought to a place where it may default on its debt obligations.

The Democrats in the Senate will just focus on confirming Judges upon Judges, because nothing serious will be done to benefit the American people for the next two years.

When he ordered for the ban of travellers from affected country,the democrats kicked against it, and played politics with it, when it backfired,they begin to blame him for not handling it well.

In trump 4 years there was no war,in fact he facilitate the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.

The only thing we hear us trump is arrogant because he says it as it is,he not just your ordinary politician that will play politics with everything.

I'm Very sure if trump was still the president,there will be nothing like Ukraine war.
Most of you just hate on him for nothing,his tenure is one of the best in US go and make your research.

Stop being emotional and listening to one-sided media reporting about him,do your research.

Trump handled covid badly. He took it lightly till it got out of hand. Infact Experts are convinced that Trump's reckless attitude towards covid is what made him lose reelection

During Trump tenure,bokoharam and iswap were having a field day hosting flags and taking over communities, till date farmers are being tax by terrorist before they can go to their farms,so where's the lie?

You're just too emotional to discuss politics,go and take several seats.
Now that I have burst your lies, tell us why he mishandled COVID-19 cases that led to his downfall? You just open your mouth and dish out lies thinking that we're kids here. Nigerians are very funny set of people. We're always more Catholic than the pope. Americans saw something wrong with Trump that made them reject him, but you are here complaining. See, no matter how you may see it, America is a country born out of freedom, and multiracial. Obama is an African, Bill Clinton is an Irish, Lincoln is a British, and even Trump is never an America by ancestors. These and others like Albert Einstein are the people that made US what they are today, not just the Red Indies, the original indigenous people of US. Telling people not to enter US is undemocratical and doesn't portray what US preach. This is the reason the Democrats opposed it. Trump may be a good president for countries like Rusia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia etc buh not to US. Know this and know peace Mr. Trump spokesman.

The only reason an african man like you support is because of religious bias and nothing else. You probably hate gays, call covid a scam, support the jan 6th insurrection, think 5g is evil, pro kremlin and all those shitty stuffs like Qanon and shits. Do away with religious bias, and see that racist dunce for what he is. Can't even imagine a black african man for that matter supporting trump.

Nato alliance, covid, environment, far right and white supremacist support, lack of minority and black representation in his government. negative Immigration policy.

I will say he did have some good policies, addresses china, trade and tech, security and stopping prolonged external war and spending. military budget.
Even some of the china trade war backfired, it was the obama/biden administration that enforced the kickstart of building some chip manufacturing plant that will ensure america to compete on that front. Partly thanks to modi that made some industrries set up their manucfacturing plant in india small small, and china's handling of covid.

Obama/Biden never handled/confronted China on the trade deficit/imbalance.

They probably had the plans bt never attempted it.

Guy talk another tin abeg
Oh, the nato alliance f*cking putin's ass you mean. If you think only america contribute to nato, you're mistaken. They are the biggest player, they benefit the most from international politics and stuffs, why won't they be the biggest spender. He's talking about how trump handled covid in the beginning not it's effect on the economy, 1m no suppose die if he had taking good measures from the beginning. Immigration is at it's highest noe because biden allows them. Trump was the voice of the far right, edging them on, making them look like the majority and i'm glad they got served in the midterms.
