"McCarthy is losing it.

He texted one of my colleagues who didn’t vote for him:

“I am ready to fund an endless war”

I’m assuming this is in *addition* to Ukraine."

So that’t why all the establishment and liberals want McCarthy.

Names and quotes and time or it didn’t happen.

As a principle of deduction this is fallacious even though it is often repeated.

Perhaps one should stay within the bounds of reason and ask how we can be sure this thing happened.

[LegendHasIt]

I believe it...

An endless war against Conservative Americans.

That Matt! He’s a clever double entendre ‘er, he is.

They may get him.

Brilliant Plan – Kevin McCarthy Vows to Assuage Republican Fears About His UniParty Propensity by Organizing His Installation with Democrats

January 4, 2023 | Sundance | 4 Comments

Seven masked midgets were spotted running amok in a DC Starbucks today. No one was hurt, but damage was done to several skirting boards and light sockets as a white woman with a tiara and broom feverishly chased after them.

Shortly thereafter, word spread that Kevin McCarthy’s office will assuage Republican fears about his spineless UniParty propensity by working with Democrats to construct the roadmap for his inevitable installation.

(WASHINGTON DC) – Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Wednesday failed to secure the Speakership on the House’s fourth vote. Preliminary vote totals showed him getting 201 votes, short of the 218 required to secure the gavel.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) on Wednesday said “preliminary talks” had begun with Democrats about supporting a “consensus candidate” for Speaker. Bacon told CNN, however, he wanted to hold back on the details of the conversations so as to not get ahead of the negotiations.

“There are preliminary talks, but we don’t want to go too fast on this because that then highjacks what Kevin is trying to do, and we want to support Kevin, he’s worked hard to get this,” Bacon said. (read more)

WEF People : Kevin McCarthy

Follow the money. Which defense contractors are in McCarthy’s district?

[Eastern Shore Virginian]

“Endless war” means war for speakership. No more, no less.

[ifinnegan]

Not sure your point.

McCarthy is a Rino who shouldn’t be speaker.

We all know that.

I’m saying Gaetz should provide details.

Fair enough.

It's just that it seems too many of the "Royal we" have fallen into the emotional us vs them trap, where McCarthy is a "them" wearing an "us" jersey.

With that said Gaetz or someone else opposing McCarthy needs to drop the FTX bomb ASAP or there efforts will be a waste of time.

Why would libs want an endless war when they are not the ones that fight?

OH WAIT!!!

[P-Marlowe]

This is the only issue that McCarthy has ever actually fought for since he was elected. He wants to be the leader, but he has no clue about how to lead.

[NWFree]

So McTurd is supposed to keep the dirty money train going to Ukraine and fund defense contractors.

[JustaTech]

“Endless war” means war for speakership. No more, no less.

Why would such a war require funding?

It's the normal business of the House.

McCarthy was talking about getting back to business as usual (after Trump disrupted same), namely perpetual low-intensity war.

Which does require funding.

Assuming he actually was dumb enough to say it, that is.
