SWAMP FIGHTING BACK: McConnell Says House Should Scrap ‘Motion to Vacate’ Rule, Claims It Makes Speaker’s Job ‘Impossible (VIDEO)
GP ^ | 10/4/23 | Jim Hoft

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has called on his fellow Republicans in the House of Representatives to abolish the rule that allows a single member to file a “motion to vacate the chair,” claiming that it makes the Speaker’s job “near impossible.”

“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.

Didnt read the article. Feel like I dont have to. I am so much in the fck McConnell crowd that I couldnt care any less about the man....not after hearing his closing statements about PDJT right AFTER he was acquitted for Jan 6. I say screw McConnell with coarse thread and below flush. If any old timer republicans need to gtfo of Washington, its him.

The backstory on that pic is McConnell couldn't find his flag and Schumer pointed it out.

Sod off, your question has such an obvious answer it is clear you are asking in bad faith.

Which is trolling.

Text from Loomers tweet:

I’ve been looking at Kevin McCarthy’s money transfers today.

Did you know that since the beginning of the year, Kevin McCarthy
@SpeakerMcCarthy
has transferred over $1.8 MILLION from the Protect the House 2024 joint fundraising committee to his own personal Kevin McCarthy for Congress re-election fund?

He should be forced to give all of the money back now that he’s been removed as
@SpeakerMcCarthy
!

This is a lot of money. Did he suspect he was going to be removed as Speaker? Is that why he laundered $1.8 million to himself from the fund that is supposed to be used to support all Republican members of Congress? 《《《》》》》

Crooked as the day is long!

Almost 2 million $$$ from fund to help ALL Republicans, all moved to his Personal account!

What a thief❗️❗️

Your opinion of my posts mean less than zero to me. Matt Gaetz sided with every Democrat in the House. That is a fact, not an opinion.

Go back to your office, Chair Force. Maybe you can turn on MSNBC and see Matt Gaetz holding hands with the over 200 Democrats with whom he allied himself.

I don’t have a problem with it.

Never would have happened if your boy McCarthy hadn’t lied to get the job.

He thought he could lie and that nobody would hold him accountable. He f’d around and found out.

I find it all very humorous.

Looks like most everyone on this site is on to your bull s**t. Trump has knack for exposing posers like you.
