I predict that day will come in the next 5 months.
lol, McCarthy said "Integrity matters more" about keeping Schiff and Swalwell off the Intelligence Committee. Looks like Kevin forgets that Devin Nunes was once on that committee. >

That's the guy was getting his instructions from Ma's cow? >

indeed, also the guy who was hand delivering intel to the Trump White House while on the committee investigating the president. >

Not just hand delivered.... He literally ran over to do so >

He also hid in a White House bush while running. >

Proposing to slash Social Security and Medicare and insert a blanket 30% tax on everything to pay for the deficit your boy left us with that will kick the shit out of the middle class might not be the flex (R) thinks it is. >

They will find a way to blame the social security and medicare theft and higher taxes on Biden. >

And the uneducated voters will eat it up.  They don't look at cause and effect, merely an opportunity to point the finger at whoever is president.  The US could suffer a nuclear attack five minutes after inauguration and they'll immediately say it must be the new guy's fault. >

If he wasn’t so weak they wouldn’t have attacked. >

they will attack no matter who it is, as long as its a dem. "weakness" does not factor. >

I think they meant the GOP response to said hypothetical would be to say that if the new POTUS wasn't weak, the striking nation wouldn't have attacked. Not that the GOP only attacks weak people. >

Yea I hear this all the time re: Ukraine. “Russia never would have invaded if Trump were president, but Biden is weak so they were bolder” >

A couple folks in the GOP have principals and a spine…who would have thunk it? >

They see a weakling so they are going to all withhold support in order to get favors. McCarthy can't do anything to stop them from doing that. >

At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see McCarthy enthusiastically gargling balls on the House floor to stay in power. >

That's what George Santos demanded actually. >

Was this before or after he won the Kentucky derby? >

It was before the derby but after he lit the Olympic torch. >

Aw, are some people with zero integrity afraid of the same happening to them?
Yes. The idea that integrity motivates anyone in the GOP is a joke. >

They're not defections, they're flanking maneuvers. >


flanking maneuvers

"Why are you flanking me?" >

Wind River is such a great movie. >

Is that the 2000 western drama or the 2017 crime drama with Jeremy Renner? >

crime drama in montana snow, natives, hicks, Elizabeth Olsen >

Love the description. Yeah, that looks a bit to intense to watch before bed. Got it on my list tho. >

Jon Bernthal, too, if you like him. >

If they see Omar as inflammatory and that could get them votes, they don't really want her off the panel. >

This is what happens when you're a 14 time loser, Kevin CuckCarthy
Edit: corrected 15 to 14 and grammar. >

15th round draft pick. >

Well, as wrong as it is, it's only going to be this session of Congress before Dems take it back. Spending more time with her constituents, and less time in these kooky republican puppet show hearings may work out better. >

As much as I hope you're right, I'm fearful that between the rampant gerrymandering and upcoming decisions on Moore and Merrill, Republicans have set themselves up to win. >

Republicans’ most solid voting bloc is old angry people. The last cycle showed COVID and father time have thinned the herd. There will be even less in 2024, and new Republicans aren’t replacing the dying ones enough to make up the difference. >

What is the public reason the GOP is giving for keeping Omar off a committee? >

He says it's her anti-Semitic and anti-American comments. Oddly enough he has no problem with certain members who have openly denied 9-11, incited an insurrection...Also IIRC many of her comments are anti-Israel and not anti Semitic per say. I'd imagine that if most in the US knew what Israel gets up to they'd have questions about our relationship with them. Many times I feel like AIPAC could legitimately get more than half of congress to sing a pledge of allegiance to Israel at the start of each week >

All of her comments that have been called antisemitic are ones that have either been critical of Israel or critical of organizations like AIPAC spending big money in US elections to influence our foreign policy with regards to Israel. The real irony here being that purposefully conflating the Israeli government with Judaism as a whole just perpetuates the incredibly antisemitic trope of Jewish dual loyalties. >

I read that as "defecations".  Didn't even phase me. >

There's precedent. >

Yeah, I just thought the House would have been fully cleaned since then. >

Checks swamp - nope, still full. >

It’ll be an amazing day when McCarthy is removed as speaker. Guy is a clown.
