Speaker Vote: Far-Right G.O.P. Faction Throws House Into Chaos as McCarthy Is Ousted

The vote orchestrated by a group of far-right lawmakers leaves the House without leadership. The speaker was unable to manage a bitter power struggle within the Republican Party.

        @Zorque @chloyster @hallettj @downpunxx But is it? Why must we vote for evil in degrees every time? Why can’t we say “let’s look into these perceptions without having to agree with them wholesale?” Why are we killing and dying for ideas?
        We’re more than just pawns on this socio/economic/political chessboard. But who am I to demand that things be any different. What am I even contributing?

        Caring for the people? Sounds like woke radical leftist Marxist propaganda (actual shit I hear on a daily basis).

        The Republican party could stop trying to hurt people at any moment. Hell, I’m in a red state and our last Republican governor wasn’t too bad. But it’s all just hate now. And anyone who opposes that hate gets more hate from people like you.
