McCarthy to Gaetz: ‘Bring It On,’ I’ll Survive as Speaker
Breitbart ^ | 10/01/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/01/2023 9:35:51 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) plans to come after his speakership will fail.

Anchor Margaret Brennan said, “I want to start, though, on the news from Congressman Matt Gaetz, who says he’s going to seek a motion to vacate. He’s going to try to oust you as speaker of the House.”

Geatz is not a sociopath not even close, he is fighting hard to turn DECADES of this utter BS around!! Calling him a sociopath GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK, we have innocent people sitting in jail for protesting, our ENTIRE government has been weaponized and you have the audacity to call the ONLY damn person standing up a sociopath!!! I hope you enjoy living in what will be Venezuela VERY SOON!!

Good point.

And at the end of the day, if Gaetz and some others stand strong, McCarthy needs the democrats to hold on.

If he makes that deal with that devil, the democrats run the House for the remainder of this term.

McCarthy becomes a beotch of Pelosi and Jefferies.

Ok….so they take apart the omnibus bill, separate each spending request, vote on them as single issue bills, PASS each of those bills and the spending just rolls right along, only it’s not called an Omnibus package anymore. So, same spending, just repackaged under a different name….and that’s a win?

Without question. That way, you can apply pressure to each individual government agency, without having to face the pressure of approving them all at once.

Take the DOJ for example. You can focus the FBI funding, or special counsel investigations, whatever you want in the DOJ, without it being combined with more necessary funding packages like the DOD, that almost always are approved on an expedited time frame. Combining all the bills into one Omnibus, which started under Obama, but continued under Trump, is what led to the obscene runaway spending to begin with.

And, these individual bills coming out of Republican committees are full of spending cuts, and target things that Republicans want to target. We were on course for budget cuts everywhere. Take these wins in our fist year back in the majority, and make the Democrats go on record as the ones who want to oppose any cuts, at all, instead of making it look like Republicans can't govern, at all.

“Gaetz’ repeated attacks and threats against others is exactly the behavior of a sociopath.”

You should never have posted that. Where did that come from? If this stuff doesn’t stop or get stopped, I’m going silent, because it only gives the Fed boys ammunition to Jan. 6 many of us on here. McCarthy didn’t keep his promises and is allowing the Democrars to keep recklessly spending.

But they don’t do that. They just pass the same spending proposal that was in the omnibus as a single issue bill.

"Given that Jordan is most certainly NOT the Conservative warrior that he has been propped up to be, Gaetz should go after him."

The way things are going with MAGA, it won't be long before only Trump and Roger Stone will be deemed worthy of the title "Conservative warrior"

I guess then you side with the Rinos who like to “go along, to get along” with the Democrats.

Not true at all. The incredible explosion in spending we've seen the last 10 years is a many ways due to the Omnibuses, which never allowed much debate on the House floor about spending priorities.

It was all just thrown together, you much approve it all, or nothing gets passed. Well, since SOME things do need to get funded, because there's no other option, EVERYTHING got funded.

All by design of Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer. It's ridiculous that we're just now getting rid of it. Or were getting rid of it, I should say, because now everything is in question again.

What is up with your paranoia related to defining sociopathic behavior? There are a lot of threats and personal attcks here on FR lately. It is disturbing.

I doubt it. Your own words show where you stand.
