Why then are your politicians today telling those people who filled your coffers and spice cabinets they are owed nothing? It’s not like it was just trivial disagreements over words that were spoken.

Don't worry about History. Another 20 years and it will all be erased anyway.
One could argue it's all the fault of people moving out of Africa (Which is said to be the cradle of Humans) that caused EVERYTHING!

I want reparations for all that ensued from that time!

Or more accurately how a hostile media organization characterized how he said it.

Can understand, by reading the news here, that Kevin McCarthy has been voted out as speaker for the House of Rep.

Guess the Republican has to find a new speaker.

Yep. I wonder how many votes it'll take this time.

Did he, as claimed, help the Dems ?
Here it is said that McCarthy was accused of helping the Dems more than helping his own side.

No, there’s no big MAGA, Blue-anon extremist petty war of words & trivial drama. You just have turn back the time dial to last January to see why McCarthy had such a hard time getting the votes to become speaker in the first place. The Republican rules package linked below includes all of the concessions McCarthy agreed to but didn’t keep. And now he got the boot.

And it was the Dems who did him in. They voted as a bloc along with just 5 or so Repubs to oust him.

Maybe Gaetz will nominate Trump as Speaker of the House. Wouldn’t that be a hoot

But he only says five different things all the time now.

That's exactly what he should do, fight fire with fire.

Scorched earth!

Joking aside, the money printer needs to frickin’ stop were 33 plus trillion dollars in debt and it’s still rising. It’s causing inflation and we’re now using tax revenue to pay more in interest & fees on that 33 trillion than we are on our entire military budget. Add to that a war in Eastern Europe, cities are crumbling, crime running rampant, businesses closing, strategic oil reserves drained for political gain, oil and gas prices rising again, banks failing, inflation, wide open southern border, recession and migrants overloading cities services.

I think it was just yesterday someone here sounded pretty satisfied how McCarthy was reigning in those evil maga extremists.

And now today Democrats are siding with those evil maga extremists.
