SWAMP FIGHTING BACK: McConnell Says House Should Scrap ‘Motion to Vacate’ Rule, Claims It Makes Speaker’s Job ‘Impossible (VIDEO)

“I’d like to start by thanking Speaker McCarthy for his service. We had a great personal relationship trying to lead two very different parts of the American government. I think he has much to be proud of. We avoided a government shutdown. We did the inevitable with regard to the debt ceiling,” said McConnell.

They are upset because they had numerous back door deals with McCarthy, and now they don’t.

Working for Joe Biden, as always.

Holy attack of the Swamp, Batman! Fox RINOs are outraged.

“You’re not supposed to have some means to remove us from our vaunted positions of power, ya see! We’re supposed to be allowed, once installed, to stay in our position of power until WE decide to retire, or are removed by a Democrat.
Those are the ONLY two options that should be allowed.”

The rule makes it harder for Congressional grifters to loot and bankrupt the American people. That’s why he hates it.

“Deep State” McConnell acting just like the go-along-get-along anachronism he has become. Better to ignore him.

If the Speaker had pushed back on the Communist Project, his job would have been possible.

Lord, Please overthrow their plans for evil. Confuse their counsels and expose their plans. Let them make decisions that backfire on what they intend and do good and right that they did not intend to do.

Deliver us from this evil, please.

But, jeez, Mitch...I think the Senate could benefit from some vacate rules.

Go back to what it was....The Republican party is sooooo messed up with this “we can get our way”...all we need is a good Speaker. That’s a lot of baloney as long as the Dems have the Senate and Biden’s mighty pen.

What an eff’n piece of chit! Are those the two things most important to McConnell? There is NO debt ceiling. Was that the inevitable? McConnell is the supreme RINO pussy. He’s bought and paid for by people who are destroying our country. His slut wife is a damn CCP asset.
