Re: 9 - McCarthy brought to the Floor a bill that would have cut spending about 8%. 21 Republicans and almost all Democrats defeated that.

130 CRs in 25 years. This fight is way over due.

Jordan just blew for me, supporting a liar and cheat that doesn’t keep his word. Jordan, Cole and the others don’t want to stop spending. None of them can say how we will pay for it.

You have two things in life your product in your word. Always improve your product and keep your word. Kevin McCarthy sucks at both! Bye-bye.

God no. Jordan is no better. He was just now speaking on the floor praising McCarthy to the hilt.

He’s just as phoney in his light blue shirt and yellow tie look. All talk.

“If Kevin the turd is unable to impeach for high crimes then screw him”


The fact that he so is wishy-washy on impeachment given all the evidence against Biden (just thus far), says all that is needed to be said. Add that to the missing and never seen again January 6th video, and one starts to think that McCarthy is indeed a Republican in Name Only.

I don’t get it. Why are these “anointed ones” always the most corrupt, unqualified for these leadership positions

Because the entire government is corrupt. Thieving, lying, criminal, government. Welcome to third world USA.

McCarthy and his supporters are what is wrong with America! After taking a two month vacay he claims to be up against a shutdown deadline and must pass a CR possibly with a Uke handout? I agree with Gaetz…

“McCarthy will need RAT votes to survive as Speaker.”

If that does happen I hope there’s plenty of videos and memes showing the Democrats voting for McCarthy. Conservatives need to expose the hell out of the establishment RINOs and their allies.

It’s like almost no one opposes them, until recently at least.

Because President Trump taught them that you win 0% of the battles you refuse to fight.

Republicans were masters at talking themselves out of taking actions. Trump showed them that winning isn't guaranteed, but if you fight and win, it's better than fighting and losing or doing nothing and losing.

At least with the former, you get respect for making the attempt.

Too little too late.
Get back to Regular Order.
He could have been passing bills months ago.
He made promises to his own GOP Conference that he has not kept.

NEXT!! I’ll take Jim Jordan.

No thanks. Jordon was just on the House floor speaking on behalf of McCarthy. Jordon said he thinks McCarthy kept his word. Obviously, Jordon either lacks the intelligence to see that McCarthy has not delivered on his promises or Jordon has been bought. It is all theater to Jordon.
