He Won’t “Budge an Inch to Conservatives…But We All Know He’ll Fold Like a Cheap Tent to the Democrats” – Catturd on Kevin McCarthy

So, basically, Crenshaw agrees with Biden.

[BobL]

“Quick poll: how many posting on this forum would be willing to admit they agree with Crenshaw’s sentiment? Come on, nut up and come out of the closet.”

Pretty much EVERYONE supporting Ukraine (after all, there’s a reason that Crenshaw is called Eyepatch McCain - as he quickly took over for the Neocon in Chief), but they’ve been told to be quiet - so don’t expect them to speak up (other than posting pictures that cannot be verified).

[Dan_Frisbie]

Joe Biden endorsed McCarthy. That alone is reason enough to cast him aside. He will roll over for Democrats like a fat dog wanting a belly rub.

“In my opinion Gaetz reminds meof the infamous Hunter Biden...”

Or maybe Hunter Thompson, at least in his personal life.

[NorthMountain]

If Deep State and Swampocrats view me as their enemy ... they’re probably right. My loyalty is to the Constitution of the United States of America. That rat bastard Crenshaw once swore to protect and defend it ... he seems to have forgotten.

Show us on the doll where Ukraine hurt you. This has nothing to do with them.

[Joe Boucher]

That has been my thoughts since they stole the election from him.

[RinaseaofDs]

Eyepatch McCain?

All I know is if McCarthy fought as hard against liberals as he is against his own party the $1.7T POS bill may not have passed.

“Show us on the doll where Ukraine hurt you. This has nothing to do with them.”

I was answering a question, even though the answer was QUITE OBVIOUS - although the smarter Neocon supporters will claim there is no linkage.

[Lurker]

Crenshaw is a first class ***hole. And the one complaint I have about Trump is that he’s absolutely awful at picking people to support. His choices to fill vacancies at the DOJ are Exhibit One.

So on this issue President Trump and I are not aligned.

Maybe, if we do not have a speaker for two years. These horrible things might happen!!

No debt limit increase!
No money for the Ukes/Deep State/McCarthy Warns Not Voting For Him Could Delay More Funds To Ukraine
No money for any new green deals
No money for new and old illegals

So, why should we fret/worry/care if the members of the 118th Congress can’t be sworn in:

Then, no midnight spending deals and no secret deals with Biden’s Deep State Puppet Masters!

If Members of the 118th Congress can’t be sworn in, the House can’t set rules to govern itself, and if it can’t Why should we care if: No spending and no deals with Biden!

The House is in limbo until it elects a speaker.

Members of the 118th Congress can’t be sworn in, the House can’t set rules to govern itself, and it can’t consider legislation or create committee assignments.

That sounds like good news to many of us.

What to watch: House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy’s speakership bid failed again and again, again and again, again and again.

The California Republican said: “I don’t have a problem getting a record for the most votes for speaker.”

Flashback: It took two months — and 133 ballots — for the House to elect its speaker in 1856.

The last time the House has needed more than one ballot to confirm a speaker was 1923.

The longest House speaker election in history spanned two months and took 133 ballots — providing a warning sign for the 118th Congress.consider legislation or create committee assignments.

There are good, honest politicians, who are eagerly awaiting their skim off these payments to balance their household budgets. Even mortgage payments on mansions have to be made on time. Please hurry up.

As taxpayers and not criminals/members of Congress:

We win everyday without a speaker & a criminally controlled congress!

I’m not getting tired of all this winning!!!

Repeating lines and paragraphs are a sign that an AI wrote the script.

McCarthy gave in on EVERY rules change the holdouts wanted, including the vacate rule; he agreed to every single committee assignment and chairman they desired. “At this point he gave them every thing they wanted. They cannot name one single thing any more.”

Not according to Bob Goode:

Some of the changes he identified were bills working through their committees in correct order, allowing members to make amendments to bills on the House floor -- which hasn’t happened in years -- and requiring “a majority of the majority” (a majority of members of the majority party must support legislation). Good and his fellow Conservatives are also promoting single-issue legislation and an end to earmarks, which is part of what citizens oppose, he noted.

They also want to set a minimum time which legislation must be on the floor of the House before it can come to a vote. He indicated at least three to five days before a piece of legislation comes up for a vote, rather than lengthy and complicated bills being rushed through the House in a matter of hours, as has been happening the last couple of years.

Some of these have been addressed and agreed to by McCarthy, not all of them.

Don't play into their hands or allow yourself to be manipulated into the narrative that this is just a group of people grandstanding.

I'm sorry Kevin. You couldn't close the deal!

Perfect!

Classic Trump!

Radio host Mark Levine today was criticizing all those that oppose McCarthy. The comment below is so true.

Rly?

[867V309]

McCarthy gave in on EVERY rules change the holdouts wanted,

...maybe they also wanted a speaker who isn't a mendatious, narcissistic, money-grubbing deep state assbat
