McCarthy can't top this speech. So now we're inspirited (from A to Z! 
) to get through the next two years.
To us Democrats! The Force!
And we keep hearing that McCarthy won't last all that long... 
No doubt. The coup caucus will be his dark shadow death eaters for the next two years, if he dares try any bipartisan deals. Their side is going to get ugly.
And what did McCarthy promise Gaetz? Originally Gaetz threatened to resign if McCarthy became Speaker - or should I say "promised..." 
Compare and contrast with McCarthy's speech which followed, that was all about him and what they intend to take away from the people. 
There was a lot of back-patting, he must have written it before putting the House through three days and 15 tries, not to mention physical confrontations. And he talked about going after administration policies and taking things from the people. It's going to be a long two years, if he lasts that long, and from what we saw of the infighting, I wouldn't bet on it. I'm rooting for Jeffries who has the backing of Pelosi, the support and the vision.
will cause the BIG BLUE WAVE that's coming in 2024. 
future, we can feel that in our bones!!!!
He is the LIGHT at the end of the tunnel.
And the way the Republicans were squabbling last night, we can hope that it's sooner rather than later...
