Here’s how badly McCarthy got beat
House Freedom Caucus has ~45 members (20%) but got 3 out of 9 GOP seats on all-powerful Rules Cmte (33%)
KM only wanted to give 2
3 is HUGE b/c it’s Veto power on every bill
Freedom Caucus will now control every single bill in House
71
275
900
We are going to turn over every fucking rock in Congress and expose so much corruption its going to be literally silly
Biblical
I've always believed we would get to this point of going Biblical, but it's now being served up as we watch. I'm ready for the feast.
Now; what do we do about the Senate weasels?
Investigate them.
Great idea - put them into the hot seat, and then turn on the broiler
Not worry about it. They will try to force house to spend more of our money in ukraine thats gunna trigger them first. Will be interesting to watch
And you'd be right. This is why there was NO committee meetings on Rule Changes or Church Committees before voting for McCarthy. The 20 Holdouts had to expose to the American People what was actually happening in Congress and how Pelosi had changed most of the rules, like the Vacate Chair rule in order that no one in the House could get rid of her during her 'tenure.' and the 'Earmarks' along with over 4000 pages of a Bill that was to be voted on in less than 24 hours. I'm sure this OPENED a huge amount of eyes.
I don't have your confidence in the number of eyes opened, but maybe some of them will make a huge difference
A lot of people might have wanted to tune in on Cspan and watch to see who was going to win since it was taking so long. They may have wanted to know what the reason was there was a hold up. People tune in for all sorts of reasons. We must hold the faith that they did.
Shouldn’t we consider alternative narratives too? Have to admit, this is 100% hindsight now.
This is the only way the rules changed could be made. And the Democrats got played.
If McCarthy made these proposals unilaterally it would only take 7 RINO sleepers to pull a Liz Cheney to make Jeffries the Speaker. They would be burned, but sleepers have to be prepared.
The Dems could have avoided this by assisting McCarthy by voting present before the concessions were made. But, President Trump’s and MTG’s endorsements made that unpalatable. Then, the Gaetz tête-à-tête with AOC on that topic made it virtually impossible.
The RINOs were boxed in by McCarthy’s refusal to withdraw. And, had the temperature slowly raised on them so they wouldn’t jump.
Finally, the image of MTG passing Gaetz the phone to talk to President Trump was the cherry on top. The image of him persuading Gaetz, further cements President Trump as the leader of the Republican Party.
At least some Republi]cans [besides Paul] are now willing to FIGHT for something they believe in and FIGHT until they WIN.
Trump taught them and us that!
Endless lies.
Endless wars.
Endless inflation.
Endless 'printing'.
Endless oppression.
Endless subjugation.
Endless surveillance.
Who will put an end to the endless?
Taking control.
Q
Is this parody? Nobody is really this willfully ignorant, right? Right?
are you referring to me, or to the collection of attention seeking petulant children in Congress who just made the US right look like a bunch of fools?
All they succeeded in doing is make the US hard right look like petulant children stamping their feet in a silly tantrum.
It is all just a bit pathetic
They could have behaved like grown ups, with some dignity
Like it or not only a very small proportion of the US electorate backed their agenda, either they need to find a way to persuade more people, or find a way to put their plans into action that don't need votes
