McCarthy is part of the DC machine. No question there. One can ask if he is just another RINO or does he position himself between the RINOS and MAGA? Or both? Without Trump, McCarthy isn't Speaker. Without the MAGA supporting caste of GOP Reps, McCarthy is not Speaker. What deals were made for McCarthy to become Speaker? I wish Gaetz, Biggs, and others would tell us. It's seems all too quiet on this front. These are lawyers... so I guarantee there was some kind of a deal cut though. RINOS and Democrats (along with the DS) are firmly entrenched and run the government. The Senate is firmly in the hands of RINOS and Democrats. Then there is the outlaw Biden Administration with a very corrupt Garland/DOJ and FBI. In addition, there's the Intel Agencies, with the CIA leading the Black OPS. Lastly, there is the Legacy media that would cheer and propagandize anything Swampish. What would an impasse on the budget appear like to the American people? Who is the media going to blame? When the government shuts down and paychecks stop for government workers, retirees, and entire programs, who is going to have egg on their faces?

I don't like it. Nor do I like McCarthy. I believe the democrats were trying to set up the republican-led House on this. It's a shitty deal....and it is obvious. The democrats and DS wouldn't want any better 'theater' to regain popularity with the American people to overshadow all of the Biden, DOJ, and FBI corruption.
