McCarthy backtracks, says he will keep Ukraine aid in Pentagon funding bill
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Saturday said he will keep Ukraine aid in the Pentagon funding bill, a reversal from his announcement one day earlier that he would strip the money out due to o…
Motion to vacate!
Permanent vacation.
Vacate? This is his notice of eviction.
Take his shit, put it in a bankers box, and force him to carry it to the front door for photo ops.
Make him an example of what happens to liars and thieves.
It’s absolutely hilarious to me that after all this time so many of us on here still think republicans are on our side. Actually more scary than hilarious
How long are you guys going to keep falling for this political theatre?
There are really people who think that?
Read the comments, people still thinking republicans are going to do something about it it. People still have faith in the handful of “maga” republicans
Remember when everyone on this site thought MTG was on our side? I constantly got downvoted for saying I don’t trust her. Well what a surprise, she “donated” $100,000 to McCarthy. And that’s all we know of.
Look at her and Boeberts net worth before and after being in office
Also, Gaetz is still at this moment defending and working with Desantis
Republicans are not our friends. You’re not allowed to be a Republican official if you’re truly maga. Trump is the only one who slipped through the cracks, they stabbed him in the back and are now all working together to make sure he doesn’t come back
About the only way politics ever yields a victory for those who are against the regime is probably due to their own internal bickering and scheming rather than anyone being on "our side" or genuinely opposing the regime. I would guess MTG probably mainly sees congress as a means to increase her profile and make money. She is a relative outsider to the "party" and probably doesn't particularly like these people or what is going on but at the end of the day what can anyone do but try and secure as much of the booty as possible before the show ends? She has been a bit of a trouble maker so far and it probably forced certain people to give her more than a relatively new representative otherwise would get.
Who knows - maybe she even genuinely cares for her district but is already in a post-national frame of mind after seeing just what goes on in D.C.
I really am sorry to say but I think seeing what has gone on the last few years shows that America as a nation is beyond saving. Luckily being a federal country and heavily rural you have more local political structures to fall back on. America is by no means the only one highly likely to see this happen. Canada and France are pretty much propped up by the fact for now the riot police support the regime and crush opposition. Sweden is in outright anarchy in its major cities. The EU is beset by absolutely chronic internal issues with several of its major economies including Germany and Italy suffering serious economic issues. I think the days of the United Kingdom as a single political entity are numbered as well.
I hate to say it as well - I think Trump and a handful of other elites in America genuinely did want to change course. The deep state hate Trump and have burned through a lot of currency trying to get rid of him even though the sad fact is I think he could have steered the ship a little better and brought the whole scheme another generation or two of life. Ultimately though Trump is a boomer - these people have been so propagandised I don't think most of them can actually countenance what it takes to wield power effectively as an outsider. The regime has murdered its political enemies but ultimately Trump just wants to watch sports, eat McDonald's and fondle the breasts of sexy women. He is not a great Caesar who is prepared to counter the money power with blood and force of arms.
I also see a serious issue with Trump crossing the Rubicon to be his age - steering the ship of state through the immediate crisis might take a decade or more. I don't think he would have had sufficient health to do it - maybe. But there are no guarantees. Which means ultimately anointing a successor or some kind of successor system. America is not the only great power with this problem. Vladimir Putin is 70 and needs to conclude this war and anoint a successor from among his clique (no easy task). He created a council of state security to try to move this process to a committee from a single man. This process was used in Kazakhstan to transition from President Nurusultan (who had ruled since 1984 to a successor). China has a serious problem. Xi is basically a near total dictator who has purged anyone who could succeed him and he is 70 there is no Deng waiting in the wings to stabilise the system this time. President Erdogan in Turkey is 69 and he has no obvious successor.
Who among that den of vipers would Trump ceed power to after his passing? Maybe his eldest son Don Jr? But I don't know what he is like. Bannon isn't exactly young. He could probably lead. Rand Paul is young but I don't see him wanting to go down that road. He is to rooted in Lolbertarianism. Cromwell tried to pass his power to his son who was not equal to the task and it ended in the Restoration. It's not a new problem. You could see any effort to reform the ship of state and put it on a sustainable future path ruined by infighting or being usurped by a resurgence of the Ancien regime.
So if MTG isn't to be trusted for her affiliation with McCarthy, what does that say about Trump who endorsed him, funded him via his PAC and criticized Republicans that were blocking him from becoming speaker?
They aren’t our friends but the party is our only vehicle to try to change things. Unless you want to vote democrat and take our chances with them. I think not.
Purge or leave. GOP cannot continue opposing MAGA.
No
Yes, it's hilarious and scary, but more scary.
So, what are you going to do about it? Write more sternly worded comments here?
Vaccinate? Maybe he needs another booster
And then what? I'm serious...what happens to the Speakership after this 'eviction'.
The Congress halts while they vote on a new one with the added tool of government shutdown approaching this time
Then the gop will pick someone else from CA or NY to be speaker.
Shut the speakership down too
Send him to Ukraine!
Motion to vacate (from the chopper)
How about a wood chipper?
Yes from a chopper into a chipper, I like your style.
H46 Hellichipper ftw! :)
The chipper
Won't work. Dems will protect him with their votes because he's doing them favors.
Case in point: This post
Nothing would make me more happy than Democrats and Rinos working together to fuck us all. Eventually the dumb people are going to realize just voting R an going to sleep isn't going to get anything accomplished. We need a new party or we'll continue losing.
Trump has 50% of the GOP. All he needs to say is if you want the country to go in the right direction Join my party. The Dems/GOP is more of the same decline. When the GOP only has a few seats left with Never Trumpers they will come begging us to come back and help fill their coffers. You have to break a few eggs to make a omlete
You'd probably have somewhere between 75-150 in the house and 10-25 senators. Any seat thats 60/40 R could be won by a maga party. You win half the seats from Republicans an suddenly people take notice. The following election would likely end the Republican party. The rinos would join the Democrat party an we wouldnt waste all our efforts fighting Republicans.
Good analysis, R0GUEBear.
In a 49% vs. 49% House, 25 reps would be the ultimate power
Dems won’t need to protect him, republicans are all for it as well
I got this because every vote was always for their favorite speaker candidate.
They could have put McCarthy over the top But in fact not one democrat Voted for anyone but Jeffreys
Yea.. at some point, there's no reason for them to maintain the illusion, the Uniparty is probably about to reveal itself.
Let's see if that is the truth.
So far ALL democrats voted for no one but democrats for speaker.
Unlike the GOP They know how to vote in lock step for their chosen speaker.
If it does happen that simply proves McCarthy is a democrat.
Motion to fucking spike.
Fuck him and fuck MTG for supporting (banging) him
She and Luntz take turns pegging him.
This is the most likely scenario.
Dee snyder is not a woman
He is a faggot though
Dee is a yumungus faggot.
There's no chance in hell she doesn't have a penis.

VACATE MOTHERFUCKER, YOURE A FAGGOT
From the article: “That’s not solving it because one of the others has some Ukraine things,” McCarthy said of stripping the Ukraine aid out of the Pentagon appropriations bill. “So it became too difficult to do that so we’re leaving it in.” - It’s a DOD appropriations bill. Why should money for Ukraine be included in it if Congress has not declared war? The farther we move away from the original Constitution, the more f*cked this country becomes
"Too difficult" fucking what?
For who? Those of us struggling to keep up with bills?
Every bill these days is a Mish mash of hated unrelated crap. Pass the package, some good some crap in it. Sucks.
Tell us what good is in any of these bills. It all looks like shit and money laundering
Stop noticing things....
Too difficult to highlight the text and hit the delete button?
If it's too difficult for him, then he's not the man for the job.
Of course he is. It is all a game. There is NO plan to reduce spending, secure our borders, reduce inflation, make the country energy independent or help the American citizens. It is all theater and we are a great audience...even when you get a republican controlled house, we lose.
Vacate the chair Mcfuckhead
Spineless RINO's will never do it
It seems like Matt Gaetz is the only person trying to do anything about it. The Republican party is a joke.
Including Gaetz, who so many chumps here think is on our side. None of them are.
Must have gotten some phone calls from his lobbyists
Doubtful. Everyone knew he wouldn't honestly put up a fight.
You don't think money plays into politicians decisions?
You honestly think this uniparty tool wouldn't have flipped if it weren't for lobbyists?
I mean yeah the uniparty is beholden to it's lobbyist, because they definetly arent beholden to their constituents.
I don't disagree people are getting paid, but these RINOs are only ever going to fake resistance.
Well they get paid for fake resistance. To give the image that they are against something. Thats what I was getting at.
I'll buy that.
How many videos of McCarthy fucking little boys are there?
Why are so many powerful people pedos? You'd think it's in the job description or something.
Rumor has it that as soon as they're elected, they're invited to a party where they're drugged if necessary and filmed having sex with a kid.
Once the deed is done, they cant tell anyone or their video surfaces.
But that's just a rumor...
Nothing but lies.
Fucking pussy
Okay, Satan.
I'm not seeing the logic.
Put his statement through a bullshit translator; “I actually want to keep all the Ukraine funding, but I realize the voter base would never let me get away with that. I was going to try and remove it from this bill so I could keep it in the other bill, but a bunch of MAGA extremists realized what I was doing, so now I’m just going to try and ram it through both bills because it’s late and I’m tired and need to get home soon so MTG and my Franki boy can finish pegging me!”
Make more sense now? Did you really think he was being serious when he said “spending cuts”?
Corruption.
Putin… just fucking assassinate Zelensky, bomb Kiev into rubble, and be done with it. Fuck Ukraine, fuck Zelensky, and fuck anyone that still supports giving those useless cunts any more of OUR money.
I guess you didn't hear Biden's pledge this week to send more money to rebuild Ukraine infrastructure and to help bolster their economy. This won't end until it ends in D.C..
Russia could in theory take all of it, then they wouldn't be able to do that.
I suspect Putin wants only the Russian chunk of Ukraine and he's happy for the Globohomo half to remain as a never ending money pit and cesspool of corruption so it drains the USA of money, morale and any standing in the eyes of other nations.
That based motherfucker, god damnit.
dump this faggot
Fuck that lisping cocksucker!
Disgusting.
All of these corrupt uniparty criminals are complicit in treason and crimes against humanity for which the penalty is death.
I will not vote for someone who votes to send money to Ukraine. I didn't even give a shit what their other positions are.
This, the border, and opposing DEI and ESG (all environmentalism) are 1a, 1b, and 1c for me.
Dont worry, theyll vote for you.
More waffles than Eggo.
This scum has self-selected out of the human race
Bye Kevin.
You're going to be removed soon thank God.
Vote this fuck out
Watch the Dems and RINOs keep him in place.
MAGA will be forced to stand alone.
Fucking RINO bitch, folding like a lawn chair.
“Backtracks”
Someone should backtrack over him with a car.
This is my surprised face.
Oh So we're just gonna defund the Pentagon entirely? Awesome! We are gonna defund the Pentagon right?
The Menendez Effect
Remove this fucking traitor from speaker. Putting other country's interests before his own!
Putting other countries’ interests above the interests of your own?
Pretty sure there’s a word for this.
Ahhh… Republicans, never change. :/
FAGGOT!
Pentagon have moved on to just straight threatening torture and murder of friends and family. No fancy blackmail, no pussy footing around. Just do it or else.
Get this joke out.
Pussy.
Bribes were paid. To hell with all of these disgusting swamp creatures.
And he’ll get it… Fuuuuuuddddggggeee
