New house speaker's latest financial disclosure

[Lesh]

"He’s just bad with money

Wonderful for someone in charge of the nation’s finances."

AndI stand by that.

This thread made it out to be nefarious.

I’m not seeing that at this point

The daily beast freaked out that a moral, conservative man became speaker and sent reporters to do a hit piece.
In true Democrat Media Bubble fashion they had no idea that this simply makes him even more relatable to real folks.

Why?

Nice try blaming Dems for your party of screwballs jumping the shark & electing a religiius whack job as Speaker & 2nd in line to the W.H.

Clipper, if 10 of your democrats had voted for McCarthy, he would have still been Speaker, and the dems would
have been happy with their puppet. Ten didn't vote for McCarthy, and he's gone and now the dems are whining like a 3 month old baby.

Maybe our Speaker just gives his paychecks to his Old Lady to take care of their home?

A lot of old school dames did that.

They showed up at the payroll office on pay day, so that their husband couldn't drink up his salary before the rent was paid.

Yet that would still require his disclose his house as an asset, and his wifes checking and savings accounts.

The democrats have been 100% consistent in their votes for speaker of the house. In every vote, what is it up to nineteen? The democrats voted for Hakeem Jeffries, and against anybody else.

With Jeffries being the top vote getter in 90% of the votes for speaker of the house.

Big whoop. The lost their puppet and now they are sniveling like children.

McCarthy never asked democrats for their vote, because he knew it would simply be, another kiss of death for him....he would have needed to negotiate with dems to change their vote from Jeffries to him, like more power for Dems on committees kind of thing....

And that was a mortal sin, by the Republican's standard.

Congressmen make $174,000. And Johnson has been in congress long enough to have earned over $1.2 million.
Yet has nothing to show for it?

Democrats didn't vote for McCarthy.

Please file that.

Guess what the yearly cost to live in DC is.

Enough to need a savings or checking account with more than $1,000 in it, to pay their expenses.

If you're used to making 70,000 a year, yes. But, if you're used to 174,000, not necessarily.
People just spend more. He's only been in Congress since 2017.
Plus, if he isn't being bought by the lobbyists, he may not have
a big bank account.

So what, he was their puppet. We ALL knew that.

But back the cost to live in DC. It costs an average family of 4 5000 per month to live. That's WITHOUT rent included.

Add to that his cost to maintain his home in his home state, and 175k gets used up real fast.

That's why honest politicians are so hard to find in DC.

The Dimwinger Brown Shirts always march in lockstep.

A person's domicile is usually not seen as an asset.

But they makes up their own rules.

Financial disclosure starts at $1,000 in total bank accounts in any one bank or financial institution. Every month a congressman gets a $14,500 check. Which if deposited into the bank, certainly triggers having over $1,000 in a bank

Apparently the "WE" that knows that. Didn't even know that democrats never voted for McCarthy.
It's hard to be a puppetmaster when you never voted for a single string.

As I said, a congressman gets a check each month for $14,500 (minus taxes). Yet he didn't report putting that money into any bank, from which to draw from to pay his monthly expenses.
