I'm pretty sure he knew exactly what he was doing, which is countering Republican gamesmanship given how untrustworthy the Republicans seem to be. I'm also fairly certain that it's a non-provable thing, and that for performance he'll claim that it was purely accidental. he intentionally triggers a fire alarm because he didn't like the way a vote was going, causing an evacuation. and you're ok with it. nobody buys the excuses he is peddling.

What? What do you mean that he didn't like the way the vote was going? He didn't vote against the bill. Unlike 90 Republicans.

Meanwhile, rather more important than the fire alarm - the bill that he wanted to read has massively upset right wing Republicans and Child Sex Pest Matt Gaetz (to give him his full title) is trying to kick out the Speaker from his own party.

here's the best so far. AOC and whoopy goldberg of the view claim white supremacist nazi's were chasing him and he panicked. not making this up.

Oh do stop lying, it's just tedious.
Try for a change to be rational and discuss things like an adult.

Still, Bowman not shutting down a vote for 30 minutes is more important than 100 Republicans trying to shut down the entire US government for months. And trying to overthrow the already extreme right-wing Speaker of the house because he's not extreme enough.

It's hilarious watching the reps tearing themselves apart on the house floor. The even more extreme far right are trying to destroy the GOP congress. Pedophile Gatez is intent on burning it all down.
The pedo is hinting he may nominate P01135809 banking on the members being too terrified to vote against him in case his cult primaries them. You know who's behind this and why he wants it all burned down. He thinks it will keep him out of prison.

And that's it Macarthy is out as speaker. The GOP is in shambles, his allies were begging moderate dems to help save him, but that was never likely.

Given how many times he's broken his word to Democrats, and also given that if Democrats saved him he'd have been permanently unpalatable to the craziest Republicans and therefore permanently dependent on Democrats so he wouldn't have wanted it, there was never going to be a West Wing style grand centrist compromise.
It is very funny. But my guess is that the Republicans won't find anyone else, he'll get re-elected as speaker, and the right wing rebels will be shown to not actually know what they want or how to get it and to be tiresome shock-jocks and McCarthy will actually end up stronger knowing that they can't really vote him out.

Hilariously Macarthy and a whole slew of the far right media are saying, despite old Kev striking a deal with the lunatics in Jan saying one member can do a motion to vacate, as the price he was willing to pay to get the speakership, somehow him being ousted by the lunatics is the fault of the Dems.
These are not serious people

so we have an ex-school principal who doesn't know what a fire alarm looks like despite said alarm has fire alarm written on it. everyone who has seen a fire alarm open a door raise your hand.

We have Mike Pence pretending to be upset that the Democrats didn’t save Kevin McCarthy when Democrats know McCarthy is a right wing maniac. And you’re concerned about a fire alarm! Ha!
Incidentally - think about Pence’s argument from the other side. Imagine that AOC was voting out Nancy Pelosi and the Republicans saved Pelosi so she could stay doing her job for another year. Can you conceive of that happening? Can you imagine how mad that would have made all Republican voters? Yes…

another option for the ex-principal turned woke congress creature. he can't read, which given our public school standards, wouldn't be surprising.

So far Scalise has thrown his hat in the ring along with Gym (pedo protector) Jorden, and the lunatic wing are proposing nominating P01135809.
If nothing else, the GOP fighting themselves and tearing itself apart, is highly entertaining and very amusing.
They aren't serious people.

You really are just an easily triggered idiot.
That some of the Orange crime lords cult are domestic terrorists is clear, they tried to overthrow the government after all, send bombs and tried shooting ip FBI offices and ambushing police, to name but a small amount of their terrorist acts, but no one is saying the regular voters who didn't try and end US democracy are terrorists, and only convicted fellons have lost their voting rights. This is just yet another of your imbecile extrapolation made as you whip yourself into a lather over nothing.
Try prosac might help stop you being so easily triggered by these far right propaganda sites.
