DEVELOPING STORY: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) delayed quick passage of the Democrat’s Build Back Broke spending plan late Thursday night by holding the floor for more than three hours in a filibuster-style speech. Democrats repeatedly interrupted McCarthy’s speech with jeers and yells to “vote!”
Every page of the Democrats' Socialist Spending Scam will be paid for by or borrowed from you: America’s hardworking taxpayers.
Watch the speech live below
This is the single most reckless and irresponsible spending bill in our nation’s history. https://t.co/OCJJ0XaXzU — Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) November 19, 2021
He eventually did.
This bill literally changes us to a communist nation like China.
Theater.
Nobody on the planet is changing a position based on his rhetoric.
Campaign season for the midterms has kicked off. A lot of weak and stupid GOP voters will applaud McCarthy’s bit of beltway theater hot air.

We can only hope enough dems are shit scared to vote for this and he can keep the assistant dems in his parry to not vote for it.

Or “progressive”. That word drives me more nuts than anything. The only thing “progressive” about these a-holes is that they are trying to “progress” us right towards a communist totalitarian dictatorship.
Before I got banned from Facebook I use to constantly correct Alexandria Ocasio Cortez every time she called herself or someone else “progressive” on her FB page. I use to write to her “Why don’t you tell the truth and call yourself what you really are you cowardly bitch? You are a COMMUNIST”
There’s not a single Dem in the House who won’t vote for this socialist garbage - not one. There are no “moderates” in that party - including the occasional songbird like Spangenburg or Gottheimer who pretend to be critical of this incredible crap but will go along with the whole scheme. We are dependent on Manchin who represents a state where a poll showed 76 percent of the electorate opposed to this filth. That’s why I no longer refer to the opposition party as the Democrats, they are the communists.
Call this what it is “A futile and pointless gesture done on somebody’s puss”. What else can you do when you’ve waited till your back is against the cliff to do anything?
Is that “Mr. Smith goes to Washington”? I always wanted to see that but never got around to it, and I’ve seen a ton of Jimmy Stewart movies. I don’t know why I missed that one. I just saw “Flight of the Phoenix” last month. I remember he supported Reagan for POTUS.
PELOSI SENT DEMOCRATS HOME. Would it have been possible to vote while they were gone???
WWII cost $4 trillion in today’s dollars, the Dems have already this year spent $6 trillion ... This bill went from $3.5 trillion to $5 trillion in the last 20 minutes before the vote was called when Pelousi added a new $2 trillion package for cow tax, illegal alien payouts and other Nation destroying items. Goes to Senate after House passage, then likely back to House for final approval.
She'll just deem it passed.
Actually, that’s not true.
Rep. Jared Golden, democratic from Maine’s Second Congressional district, has stated that he will be voting “no.”
Golden’s complaint is that there are too many “tax giveaways” to the wealthy.
Golden is talking about those SALT “giveaways,” where, under Trump, wealthy residents in New York, Connecticut, Silicon Valley, etc. could no longer deduct their property taxes, etc.
This Build Back Broke bill restores those tax breaks to residents of those high income states.
As for Golden, he’s probably worried about getting re-elected next year. The only reason he’s a member of the House is because of rank choice voting. Golden received 2,200 FEWER votes than his Republican incumbent opponent, Bruce Poliquin, in 2018. Poliquin is going to try to regain that seat next year.
Under rank choice voting in Maine, a candidate for federal office has to receive at least 50% of the vote plus just one additional vote, or more, to avoid rank choice voting kicking in.
Neither Golden nor Poliquin received 50% of the vote, plus one, in 2018. There were two “independent” ringers in the race who siphoned off votes, so over a number of weeks they had to count voter’s second choice, which gave Golden over 50% of the vote plus one in the second round of computer tabulation.
What the heck got into him ... watching the video from the start now ...
“PELOSI SENT DEMOCRATS HOME. Would it have been possible to vote while they were gone???”
What McCarthy did was stop this from being voted on in the middle of the night, forcing the rats to vote on this during morning news cycle. And with Pelosi sending the rats home, especially with Thanksgiving week upon us, this might be delayed a week or so.
EPIC!
JAW-DROPPING!
Really!!!!
