Why can’t Republican Kevin McCarthy get votes needed to become Speaker of the House?

Ad hom attacks are a sign of inability to have a reasoned debate.

The Trump administration had the lowest levels of legal immigration of any modern administration. That is a fact. He wanted to curtail it altogether. And your side supported him.

You said it right their you liar.

MODERN is in the sentence, did you miss it?

You said "legal immigration", liar. Can you not read your own fucking post? Also even just modern post WW2 Trump had the third highest legal immigration not the lowest like you falsely said.

Are you just pathologically unable to admit you were wrong?

Nearly 1.3 million immigrants came to the US in 2020, excluding asylees (for which data is forthcoming). Green cards and non-tourist visas granted fell by 40.9% and 49.7%, respectively. Refugee admissions were at their lowest since at least 1990, falling 60.6%. The president sets a ceiling that helps determine the number of refugees admitted; 2020's limit was 18,000.

That was due to COVID shut downs as you well know. The admin was four years long so you look at total numbers over the four year term.

You really are just unable to admit you were wrong. That is a psychological problem as well as a dishonesty problem.

Why don't you take your act on the road?

MTG is pissing off everyone with pushing Kevin. They are calling her a uniparty sell out and I'm not really disagreeing with that. The fuck is she talking about? The plan is no Kevin.

We dont want the guy ffs!


I thought Steve Scalise might be a suitable compromise for you guys @Dove:



...but he's already 'married'/taken.

That is ....he's their house majority leader

In a dramatic twist, The House GOP caucus nominated McCarthy for a 9th ballot, and counting!

Well that's democracy and stuff...who wants that?

Probably the ones who dont want to throw people in prison for effectively opposing their politcal party.

Did you just point out that ad hom means a person has no debate? Because that's just hilarious.

Right here in thread you accused your entire opposition of all the "isms" and "phobias" and used that to gross over the valid reasons they dont want McCarthy. You never actually hold yourself to any standards though.

MTG is done. Her district is furious with her. I've honestly never seen anyone so brazenly piss off their own voters with so much arrogant passion as they are all actively telling her she needs to get her shit togther.

She really is the right wing AOC lol.
