The Republican House Has No Powers As Long As We Feud Over Speaker Of The House
Great post!
Not much good comes from Congress these days, no matter WHO is in charge.
Gaetz said yesterday he’s willing to “go until the cherry blossoms fall” which would be in March, and AFTER the debt ceiling increase vote the RINO’s need to fund their traitorous Omnibus disaster.
Sounds good to me, probably the only way to stop it, actually.
Me too!!
AND MTG is becoming a HUGE dissappointment!
Being in Congress is like Stockholm syndrome, after a few years you become like your captors, the uniparty.
McCarthy missed becoming Speaker in 2015, because it was rumored he'd had a 5-year long affair with Republican Congresswoman Renee Ellmers (N.C.). She's blonde too. She and Greene resemble each other, at least to me. My husband was a philanderer, and leopards don't change their spots. I don't like to think that way, but call it a woman's intuition that those two are a bit too close. I'm betting the relationship started when she was removed from her committee assignments. Kevin was there to comfort her. Someone else on FR said that Lauren Boebert alleged something of that nature, but wouldn't expand on it. Greene's husband filed for divorce last year claiming the marriage was irretrievably damaged. Their divorce was finalized the end of 2022.
Yup. The war is started and the battle lines are drawn. Like it or not, the reality is that we are along for the ride in a dangerous, high stakes power play. The two sides need to get some resolution quickly because the longer things sit in impasse, the more time intriguers have to put together a real negative outcome. Some of the demands that the 20 are making , like term limits, are poison pill issues that have no short term potential for implementation and pretty much queer any possible deal. They need to come to a realistic agreement before they are overtaken by events that leave them left out in the cold and all of us screwed. As the old song goes, “sometimes you play, you lose your wife. Play too hard - you lose your life” . These guys are on the brink of playing the game too hard. McCarthy is kind of a rat and a cornered rat at that. Never leave cornered rat with no way out because they will fight to the death. Rats are filthy creatures and if they get a bite on you, you can get a fatal disease and die a horrible death.
Right now a Congress that can’t spend the taxpayer’s money nor raise taxes is a good thing. I hope it goes on for 2 years.
No more funds being fed into the money laundry on the Black Sea is one of the best points.
100% agree.
Never mind her colleagues not being pleased with her right now I AM NOT pleased with her right now, and I will bet MILLIONS of the base are not pleased with her right now!! SHE KNOWS McCarthy is DEEP SWAMP supporting him will be unforgivable for MANY, MANY of the base!!
Marjorie Taylor Greene rips leader of her party...
https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/11/26/marjorie-taylor-greene-criticizes-republican-leaders-kevin-mccarthy-nr-sot-vpx.cnn wonder what changed her “principles”??
What? I’m not interested in MAGA Republicans being rolled? And you have a problem with that? McCarty needs to work with the 20...
If McCarthy gets in with the help of democrats it’ll damage the party for years.
You and I just be talking about two different t Kevin McCarthy’s.
I’m talking about the one that is a UNIPARTY Hack. Is a RINO on a good day. Is a protege of all the best: Ryan, Boehner, Cantor, McConnell, etc. Is the one that lambasted Pres Trumo, on the House floor, for not doing more to stop what happened in 06Jan. Is the one that has said nothing about the welfare of all those folks rotting in the DC jail, on misdemeanor charges. Is the one that has voted to continue sending mine and equipment to Ukraine. Is the one that will oversee perfunctory investigations into all things we would like investigated. Is the one that also took money from the far crypto kid.
You must be taking about someone else.
