This article begins with the words “GOP leader Kevin McCarthy”.
I take umbrage in that. McCarthy has never been considered
a leader for anything. Surely he has his days of virtue, but like all men, he has his faults as well. Lack of leadership is but one. That TRUMP endorsed him is head scratching, but certainly not the first itch (Oz?) nor the last.

The fact Kevin moved into the speaker's office before he was
voted into that office has significance of some sort. Arrogance? Faith in Trump to see this through (keeping his end of the deal catapulting Kevin into that cushy chair)?

You want to watch 19 people get absolutely nothing accomplished, except completely destroy the entire Republican Party, turning the country over to the communist now in charge?

Explain what you mean “turning the country over to the communist now in charge?”

Sounds like histrionics. Explain what you mean and how it would happen.

The current Democrats in power are essentially communists. The House is the only means of keeping them in check at the moment; and the House can do nothing until it has a Speaker.

The House controls the money, but not until it has a leader. Control of the money is a Big Deal.

“ The House is the only means of keeping them in check at the moment; and the House can do nothing until it has a Speaker.”

Neither can “the current Democrats in power.”

You also don’t understand McCarthy won’t keep them in check.

McCarthy is going to lose this, he’s losing momentum each vote when he fails to give in to any of the reasonable concessions being requested.

The GOP isn’t going to do jack squat. Lower you expectations. GOP = fake party.

Past performance. The GOP is fake opposition.
