Hilarious to watch Canadian media (CBC, CTV) trip over themselves to mock the GOP as they choose a house leader.

[blackbird]

Did you notice how the CBC, CTV news hosts and political pundits are constantly mocking or slurring the American GOP (Republicans) for the many votes they are casting to choose their house speaker?  The Democrats and the mainstream media seem to be obsessed with trying to fault the GOP for not reaching an immediate majority vote and some even claim the democratic system is collapsing somehow.  How ridiculous can they get and desperate to find fault with the Republicans?  The media just prove over and over how shallow their thinking is and how little credibility they have.  The sky is not falling and the American system will continue as normal.  At some point the House will choose a speaker and they will move on.  No need for all the chicken littles to panic and loose their marbles.

The GOP is being held hostage by a half dozen toxic nihilists who's only mission is to burn the system to the ground, taking time out to get a sound bite on that media that you claim is so biased.

Kinda like Canada is being propped up by far left extremists

It is a historic failure that doesn’t happen too often. The remarkable bitterness on display between House Republicans augurs ill for the future. And as it may well affect us in Canada, it is a newsworthy item..

The CBC thinks democracy is a sauce you need to add to Soup of the Day to hide the taste of yesterdays Grovelburst Pie and Hackneyed Fish Heads it was made from.

No, not like that at all. As David Brooks said tonight, you have a half dozen members who just want to burn it all down.

Watching this clown show is hilarious, and very sad at the same time.

Well that's kinda a pretty poor explanation but not surprised coming from the extremely biased and dishonest left wing. 

What they actually got (reportedly) is three freedom caucus members on the rules committee, commitments to curb spending, won't engage with senate on budget until they put one forward, and will return certain processes such as single members being able to introduce a bill that was eliminated under Pelosi. Also members will be awarded at least 72 hours as opposed to less than a day under Pelosi to read new bills.

The clips I've seen have Fox News going after this spectacle more than anyone. I have an interviewing the leaders and absolutely roasting them.

The show is over. Populism and insanity loses agan. 

Now the new orders from the fringes of the right (the holdouts right) are: "Tell them we achieved something". 

Liars and deflectors like Trump. 

Total defeat but still claims victory.  haha

How do you know they didn't get anything? It's all backroom deals right? Committee assignments, money for re-election...

[Nationalist]

OK so now McCarthy is Speaker. And the rule changes basically return the house rules to what they were before Pelosi changed them.

I have to admit some quiet indulgence in humor, listening to Libbies crow about 15 votes. But now the work begins and these Republican Freedom Caucas people have negotiated themselves onto very consequential committees. 

They will also have a major part to play in the pending investigations. And Libbies...if you thought it was comical to watch them hate on McCarthy...

Just wait till you see how they feel about you folks.

Enjoy...

You didn't answer my question.  I didn't say they got everything, nothing, anything.

How do YOU know?

We can only hope.. investigate everything about the loonies like Shifty Schiff, Mad Max, and Biden who propper up the sketchy investigations.. 

Make their lives a living hell.. bury their families and allies in legal fees

I don't, you are correct, but the overall visual effect compared to the initial speeches which promised doom and changing of the fabric of the status quo did not happen. One by one they came to an understanding is my estimation aside from the 4, one of them fresh of escaping a harrassment allegation. 

I seen it as a capitulation to the establishment. You are seeing it opposite?

It's a spectacle, nothing more.

Only the stage management knows who pulled the levers to lower the curtain.

All the same rubes who follow the over culture News like FOX-CNN will tell you that they know what happened.

I listened to some of McCarthy's speech... wherein he promised to investigate the "source of covid" ?. Should be clear that it's all a show from that.

For sure, I can't imagine anything likelier to drive governance away from the loonier ideological fringes than the spectacle of them forever clamouring for attention.

Well, we all should know by now as to where the CBC, CTV and Globull will always stand. They despise anything conservative and those three misfits will go out of their way to mock and attack anything conservative. ?

The CPC and Green leadership conventions were drops in a bucket compared to the GOP Gong Show. The USA does do everything better, especially at making themselves look foolish.

I’m almost embarrassed for CNN these past couple years. I shake my head quietly in disbelief. Sad media collapse.

It is actually a sign of a healthy democracy when members of a party don't vote as a solid block.

The LPOC is a perfect example of a political party which has forgotten what the word democracy even means. Individual electoral ridings no longer have their vote.

Every LPOC MP who goes to Ottawa on behalf of their constituents is actually just doing the bidding of 1 man. Even those who were elected to the NDP are doing Trudeau's bidding. 

The reason why is simple - Trudeau has the MSM locked down, and as long as they're under his thumb to the extant that they are, opposing Trudeau is like asking for career cancer.
