McCarthy’s action was the right thing to do, even though the Bushie types in the GOP would probably like to claim that McCarthy shouldn’t stoop to such tit-for-tat antics and should be above it all. But they would be wrong. There’s no other way to “teach” Democrats that in the long run, or possibly two short years, they’ll be forced to live by the standards and rules, spoken and unspoken, that they laid down themselves. Doing this opens a door for them to change if they finally realize that they don’t like the taste of their own cooking.

Now they can live with it. If they don’t like what they did, then their only hope to stop it will be to refrain from doing it next time. That way, they will get the courtesy returned by Republicans in the next round after that. The important thing is that McCarthy is not letting the action slide. They can live with it or not live with it, as they prefer, because the ball is now in their court.

It isn't tit-for-tat. It is keeping known security risks off committees where security is important. The GOP needs to do a better job of explaining this fact.

Thanks to the enemedia, the sheeple think that these are merely political games. While it is better to be stupid than evil, the stupid party needs to explain the reasoning here especially since their majority is as thin as that of the evil party in the previous congress.

Playing tit for tat and being above it all should indeed be over. “Crossing the aisle” and all that other BS. Dems are bullies and all you do with a bully is knock the chip off their shoulder and bully right back

It’s consequences, not payback.

Some news is sweet.

Some news is sweeter. This is sweeter.

He also needs to investigate Swallowswell boinking a Chinese spy. Prima facia evidence she’s a spy, what else would sleep with that Cretin. And investigate Schitt for perjury and leaking grand jury testimony. And investigate Omar’s marriage to her brother to violate immigration laws. Kick them all out of congress and throw THEIR asses in jail . . .

Some news is sweet.

Some news is sweeter .

Shiffthead and Swallowswell should both immediately have their clearances yanked. Period. OMAR as well.

A simple sober judgement should say those particulars should not be anywhere near national security issues. No anger or vengeance required.
