Why wasn’t this “Framework” done a month ago, instead of waiting until
McCarthy’s head was on the chopping block.

McCarthy tried to hold out against the freedom caucus. They called his hand and he did not have cards.

It us good the HFC is getting every concession they are asking for.

And everyday without a functional government is a good day by me.

The so-called “freedom caucus” wanted the spectacle. They are pompous hostage takers holding up the start of the new Congress. McCarthy had been negotiating and lining up votes for months.

Exactly,

GOPe were just arrogant.. “It’s my time”... rather than actually doing the work needed just expected it handed to them...

Same nonsense that gave us McCain, Dole and Romney... it was their “time” didn’t matter whether they were the best candidate for the job.

There is no political advantage in preventing a crisis, only in managing one.

Because McCarthy thought he could bully the freedom caucus into abject surrender.

McCarthy has been an establishment GOP representative for many years. Hard to see him doing anything substantive to restore the Republic.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Because McCarthy didn't NEED their dirty American votes. Until he did.

The group of 20 has been asking for this since the elections. McCarthy and the RINO’s refused. Now we’re here.

Because the swampocrats in Congress (along with their sycophants in the Repuke Party and FR) all thought the Patriots could be intimidated.

[Captain Peter Blood]

As I understand it they howe been negotiating since August and McCarthy wasn’t interested. Now they have him by the shorts and here we are.
