If he is blackmail-able, he has no business being Speaker. And it isn’t the administration’s fault. If not them, it would be the Chinese or Russkies.
If it was dhs, it was a true patriot, not an obama supporter. Or he did good by accident. I am sooooo psyched McCarthy is out! Woooohoooo!!!!
Now Motion to Vacate! Dump the drunk weepy cheeto—NOW!!!
Yeah...I’m thinking blackmail to get McCarthy to withdraw. Liberal scum.
As for Ryan... he's in. Evening news interviews with Freedom Caucus folks gave the definite impression they'd support his candidacy. Now, as to what they'll demand, that remains to be seen.
I sincerely doubt McCarthy will hold onto the Majority Leader position.
I imagine they would be to some extent. They’d be stupid not to get involved.
If you can sow discord and chaos into your enemy’s formation, then do it.
It would be illogical for this regime to want to thwart having McCarthy as speaker - he will give Obama everything he wants, just as Boohoo did.
I thought McCarthy was extremely cheery about his announcement. Oddly so, actually. He was striding confidently down the hallway with a great big smile, and he opened his remarks at his presser with a toothy smile and a joking manner, “Did I surprise ya’ a little?”.
This, after coming in to the capital building a couple of hours earlier, at 8 AM (EST), ready to rumble and win.
WTH happened in two hours. McCarthy had to already know about the letter calling for a vetting, but still at 8 AM he was ready to win the Speakership. Two hours or so later he quits the deal!
After all, the letter from the guy in NC had already been released the evening before, (last night we knew about it) asking for a full vetting of all the candidates in order to avoid another fiasco like Livingston, whom the media vetted and exposed for his affair, within a month of his placement in the Speaker’s chair when Newt resigned. Similar circumstances of a resignation forcing an emergency vote.
I want to know why McCarthy looked like a cat who just swallowed the canary, but was seen smiling like he had won it.
Ok, even I know enough to use HideMyA**.com when I don’t want my IP to show up. Hard to believe Homeland Security doesn’t cloak their IP.
“IP address, 216.81.81.85, made them on Thursday.
“That address comes from DHS’ offices in Springfield, Virginia,” he reported.”
Yup.
