What Will It Take For McCarthy To Take The Hint?

[Billiejeens]

That wasn't my point, my point was, that apparently the majority of repubs in congress do like McCarthy.

and?

 

[rightwinger]

Go fuck yourself. You don't have a clue what the GOP stands for and it's not up to you to decide what we want.

Good point

Can you show us what exactly the GOP stands for?

You also misrepresented the 20's position.

No one is asking for special favors

 

[rightwinger]

So Kevin, where are we after three days?

You have made every concession demanded of you and that got you how many votes?

 

[MarcATL]

One core demand from the detractors is that McCarthy reinstate a rule that allows any single lawmaker to make a “motion to vacate the chair” — in short, to call a vote to remove the speaker from office.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that members of the House Freedom Caucus, which includes Boebert, are also demanding that McCarthy hold votes on a series of bills, including legislation that would require term limits for members of Congress, a balanced federal budget and fortifying security at the southwestern border.

Seem reasonable to me, and a tiny price to pay to be Speaker of the House. Is he really going to just be stubborn and watch Jim Jordan get the gavel?

And people say Trump has an ego . . . .

So you want a puppet? Correct?

The establishment and the interlocking directorate, the billionaires which own the entire Anglo-American system which hyped the Covid scam to outsized proportions for control and profit, and refuse to allow peace negotiations b/c they have an agenda having to do with control over all planetary energy, are behind all this. They want to make slaves of everyone, and they really don't care what your politics are, IMO.

They need to have McCarthy in charge. These things are important to them, and he is their paid stooge, just like Pelosi is. Folks that pay attention, know, that there is no difference between him and Pelosi, only partisans see a difference.

McCarthy Used FTX Cash to Defeat Conservatives in 2022

GOP establishment leader Kevin McCarthy funded his chosen ones in 2022 and drummed MAGA conservatives out of the GOP with corrupt FTX money.

That whole FTX thing, is sorta sketchy, and The National File, as an outfit, too, should be taken with a grain of salt. It is really hard to fact check stuff like that, IMO.
I did some checking, and it seems to be on the up and up;

How Kevin McCarthy’s political machine worked to sway the GOP field

Allies spent millions in a sometimes secretive effort to weed out candidates who could cause the House leader trouble or jeopardize GOP victories in November.

But, with Deep Politics, that is the nature of the business, which, I think is the point here.

This particular story, probably has more legs.

Bullshit.

You pick the sleaziest hate sites to vomit your slander from.

 

[Faun]

No surprise you are one of those pounding Marc's ass.

You've always seemed the type - Tinkerbell.

LOL

Fruitcake's homosexual tendencies get exposed and all he can do is parrot Peewee Herman with an, I know you are but what am I, witless retort.

Can't you do better, lyin nazi?

Bullshit.

I fact checked it.

See post #126.

If these Men and Women of the Freedom Resistance are for real, then the Progs and the RINOS are a little worried as their elite masters need to have no interference in their quest for global control. It is still a huge battle to win for people who want freedom though.

 

[Seymour Flops]

So you want a puppet? Correct?

I don't want the Republicans who want to actually fight for the Republican agenda to be marginalized for the gratification of the bendover-for-the-Democrats faction.

 

[JusticeHammer]

As McCarthy accepts the demands of the extremists, he at the same time alienates some of the others.

However, it's long past having any purpose. The R party is irreparably divided, regardless of who is the chosen one.

A coalition is needed but it's not going to be with the Democrats, it has to be between the crazies and the less insane.

I expect a fistfight in the chamber first!

If it is with the crazies that would be demscum.

Couple of things here, 1. What is/was the Republican agenda? During the Trump Regime, the party literally decided not to have one, twice. It was whatever Trump wanted at the moment. 2. Bend over to Democrats how exactly?

If they were for real, there would be a method to their madness

They would be holding out for a reason and be prepared to explain what needs to be done to obtain their support

"Special favors for themselves?"

How is border security a "special favor" for a small group of people?

Well, I was referring to those who are trying to get themselves committee assignments in exchange for their vote.

But several of their detractors within the party have attacked them for prioritising procedural changes over making policy, as well as for demanding personal favours like committee assignments.

Being on the right committees with the right people is how legislation gets written to further agendas.
These 20 are looking to ensure that proper progress is made.

 

[pknopp]

Based upon Gaetz's words, there is no agreement and based upon the two (R) speakers, things are getting pissy.

 

[strollingbones]

somehow i dont think the country needs gaetz lecturing on purity lol
