Aye they do, and so does the Speaker. Keep it up Kevin, I like the new you. 🙂
Every time I asked a journalism student, or heard one asked, “Why journalism?” the answer was ALWAYS word for word the same....”I want to make a difference.”
IOW, the craft of journalism was pursued solely to facilitate activism.
Leftist activism, and really they are properly simply labeled Leftist activists.
Couldn’t hear the snarky question.
Unfortunately, with today’s government conformist media, making a difference is impossible…
I’m liking Kevin McCarthy better every day!
>>>He got a beating because he deserved a beating ... sometimes a beating adjusts a person’s attitude for the better. It certainly seems to have improved McCarthy.<<<
YES!
I’m choosing to hold the applause, even though it is a bit satisfying. He’s still got a long road to cover before my expectations of the GOP House are elevated.
Applause is encouragement to continue the “good work”.
McCarthy is a chameleon.
Understood
He’s knoen also as Representative Schitt
I understand the notion, but prefer to hold a skeptical position and wait until the job is completed to say “well done.” It gives me flashbacks to see conservatives losing their minds in applause the same way they do whenever liberal bill maher says something against the orthodoxy, as though he has actually joined the team when the opposite is always true. To a plumber repiping my home, I don’t cheer after every section of pipe he sets in place; the payment comes at the en of the project.
There is, however, a difference between holding your peace and not paying until the job is completed, and sniping and whining about mistakes not even made all through the job. Quite a few people here do the latter, as well as many falling for the ‘let’s you and him fight’ clickbait headlines.
True enough. We see all kinds. The better form of “guidance” and “advice” of course is to contact them directly. It’s yet another form of reminding them of expectations.
Happy new year, Lunar version.
