She seemed shocked that her colleagues were making deals with McCarthy for committee assignments for themselves.
She was “pissed” that none of her colleagues advocated for HER to get assignments.
She's been in DC long enough to know that most of them are there to further their own careers and bank accounts.
And now she expects a Sunday School picnic?
She has some good points, but McCarthy is one off the bad guys.
I think the point is that the the “hold outs” are wrapping themselves in the flag and spouting principal and high ideals for their reckless brinkmanship, when i reality they are just playing hard ball to cut sweet deal for themselves to further their power and position while McCarthy is under duress .
Which was what my gut was feeling me was the real sitrep. Don't really appreciate pond scum politicians poisoning the well for their own gain and self promotion while risking the slim House working majority we worked so hard to elect with their lies. Gaetz may be OK with Hakiem Jeffories becoming the next speaker but I damn well am not. Gatez just jumped the shark IMHO.
I for one am not so interested in hearing about his self proclaimed "firebrand" BS anytime in the near future if these are the games he's playing. There is fine line between being a "firebrand" and an arsonist and these guys are crowding the fine line of burning the House down a little too close for my comfort.
Gaetz had jumped the shark before he entered Congress.
On the other hand, we shouldn't complain about Republicans, if we are okay with McCarthy. The reality is, he will be working against Republican interests. There is a 75% chance the Democrats take the House back in 2024.
And Biden will get more of his agenda passed in the next two years, than he did in the last two. No more Manchin and Sinema to bail us out.
Actually, they all suck. They all have hidden agendas. They all are in it for themselves.
