House Republicans brace for doomsday scenario

As a right-wing faction threatens to tank his speakership ambitions, House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy delivered a promise: “I’ll never leave,” making clear he has no plans to drop out of the race even if the fight goes to many ballots on the floor. #CNN #News

  1. Pretty amazing they talk about doing all these things but they never did them before. They’re not gonna do anything except help the rich bodies.

    1. Remember that it was their president who declared how much he LOVED the under educated, and did nothing for them.

  2. They want that motion to vacate in order to ensure that if McCarthy agrees to their demands and gets their vote for House speaker, he won’t renege later.

    1. It’s funny hearing McCarthy calling for unity. If my memory serves me, he wasn’t calling for unity during Trump for a coup.

    2. McCarthy is hurting bad, all that bending over for Republicans votes. Are you kidding me . He would put albert einstein in meat grinder to get speaker. Their demented and demonic. End of story.

    1. @Linda name We’ve certainly learned republicans are brainless. Suppose that’s what happens when republicans intentionally destroy the education system to keep their constituents as ignorant as possible.

    1. @JoeBidenIsTrash 1 Yeah, but she still agrees with the Democrats on relevant things more than she does with the Republicans, and thus will vote with them more often than not. Hence why I said she would “effectively caucus” with the Democrats, even if not entirely.
      Either way, I support the move to being an independent. We need more independents and viable third parties, as two-party polarization and the practice of devotedly obeying the party line has gone too far.

    2. Repent…believe in Jesus. John 3:16 KJV – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      Luke 13:3 KJV – I tell you nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
      John 3:3 KJV – “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

  3. McCarthy reels off a list of things that they didn’t accomplish last time and threatens that they won’t accomplishment them this time either.

    1. Repent…believe in Jesus. John 3:16 KJV – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      Luke 13:3 KJV – I tell you nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
      John 3:3 KJV – “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

    1. Hes bullshit artist. And hes hurting bad from bending over for Republicans. McCarthy would endorse Richard Simmons if it would get him speaker. Would Simmons be holding the vaseline??

  4. Most of politics is just this game-playing. They forgot they were elected to go to Washington to help the people that elected them, not spend all their time on their own career advancement.

    1. IF YOU THINK AMERICAN PRESIDENTS DO ANYTHING EXCEPT SIGN ORDERS AND SAY WHAT THERE TOLD TO SAY YOU ARE WRONG

    2. @Biden is Garbage
      Donald Trump had four years during his failed presidency to get Paul Whelan out of Russia but he did nothing to help him

    3. @The Holy Sword Of Light doesn’t matter they’ll keep trying everyday and people will suffer because nothing gets done for the country.

  5. If I was a Democratic legislator, I would approach Dan Newhouse and offer bipartisan support for his speakership. Newhouse is one of the few GOP “survivors” that voted to impeach Trump. He would be a far cry better than McCarthy. Sometimes you have to make do with what is available and a man with enough courage to vote against Trump is better than a lot of other alternatives. At least he demonstrated that he values the rule of law.

    1. @T. Wilson doesn’t Biden want to stop the second amendment? Or ban guns? But yet he set free a very known arms dealer back to Russia? How do you know his reputation is ruined? Do you live in Russia? Just like he wants to ban oil but he doesn’t mind buying crude oil with our tax money from socialist’s and communist’s?

  6. It will be a pleasure to watch the GOP shred McCarthy like a head of cabbage in a slaw factory.

    Good luck, Kev! 🖤

    1. @William Royer nope I would have voted for Mitt just because he was yummy, but I saw a recent news show and he’s not even mildly palatable. Sad everyone is so old now, including me. Thank goodness no one asks me a darn thing!

    1. What they want is a shock collar. Any time McCarthy looks like he might do something decent, they’ll shock him back into compliance.

    2. The slime ball tried to get big bird to hold vaseline for him. Walker got crazy on vampires and werewolves, so he wont be rubber stamp, and hold vaseline. Its crazy politics.

    1. @Debra Martens That would be funny. But how many of us thought it would be funny if Trump won the Republican nomination for President?

  7. Seems a deep rooted misunderstanding of how Democracy works. The new Republican mantra “I will never leave even if you don’t elect me”.

    1. @21 accounts Removed You’re the one that spouted off the stupid and tired old talking points. Don’t cry because somebody pointed out the foolishness of that to you.

  8. I love how this guy just said “I’m gonna be speaker, so F U”, and people were just supposed to be like “ok, cool”, and he’s whining because no, that’s not how it works. As we’ve seen…you can’t just declare yourself the winner. What DB…

    1. @AbCdEfGh oh for sure she did. I wish she would go, like not be in Congress anymore. I can’t stand her either.

    2. Hes whining because hes hurting, all that bending over for Republicans. McConnell might borrow the vaseline from him. Minority leader doesn’t sit well with him.

  9. If GOP hardliners stand firm, some republicans have noted they would be willing to work with Democrats to find another more moderate Republican to secure the 218 votes to become speaker. This would give US the best chance to return to sane governance.

    1. Similarly, as a Chinese, the elderly in rural China only have a pension of 100 yuan per month. However, the reimbursement rate of rural cooperative medical insurance is very small every year, and the cost of living is high due to rising prices. The government does not provide subsidies. It is difficult for migrant workers to obtain employment, their wages are low, and they do not have reasonable labor security rights. The cost of raising children is high. The government does not provide child care allowance and free education. However, officials and civil servants in the Chinese system enjoy the “privilege” welfare from cradle to grave. This completely violates the principle of “justice” and “equality” of the core socialist values, and requires the CPC government to cancel the “dual track system” of differential treatment of urban and rural social welfare security. Please everyone with conscience stand up for the poorest and most vulnerable groups in China and uphold justice ✊🙏

    1. Same as Marjorie green. All that vaseline going around in Congress does funny things to politicians. If George Washington was in charge. They would be wetting their diapers.

  10. “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious
    stupidity.”………… MLK Jr.

    1. @Selonious Yes, you are. The entire right wing in this country is completely indoctrinated and obsessed with groupthink. How they’ve become like their old Cold War boogeymen.

    2. McCarthy put out the vaseline and now hes hurting bad. I don’t think the snoopy band aids are working for him.

  11. “I’ll never leave”. Hmm, that’s the exact attitude that illustrates why most of these people do not belong in our government….it’s all about them, not the good of the country.

    1. Bidens FBI, DGB, CIA, and DOJ are all working in collusion with big tech, big corporations, and big media to rig and sway elections, and hurt Trump.
      Democrats are the biggest threat to America since 9/11

    1. Only fool would take anything at face value what McCarthy says. Big bird has him checked mate every time. Kindergarten kids giggle when they see him on tv.

    2. Same! We’ve seen him put party or trump over the nation time and again. His priorities are not the country’s priorities.

  12. MacCarthy is right saying: “People wants to see changes.” But he fails to realize he does not represent change!

    1. McCarthy is a mistake. Sad days for America when jackals like McCarthy and MTG and Gaetz are elected to Congress and Trump and Murdoch aren’t in jail for fraud. McCarthy is a sham and a disgrace These Magats only respect force. They lie like a rug. We need Republicans to come to their sense and oust this waste-of-oxygen McCarthy

    2. McCarthy is a mistake. Sad days for America when jackals like McCarthy and MTG and Gaetz are elected to Congress and Trump and Murdoch aren’t in jail for fraud. McCarthy is a sham and a disgrace These Magats only respect force. They lie like a rug. Waste of oxygen!

    3. @neb All Americans and our allies want mayhem, insurrections, and no real policies that help our country move forward? I don’t think so.

    1. It’s true he isn’t going to leave unless you want global unrest. Basic fact people are cashing in chips already. & hypothetically speaking I’ll be damned if I lose my investment real assets that isn’t digital aka fake. As people still use gold as a standard. All these leveraging & deleveraging & all financial strategies to create money out of nothing will end up causing a 9/11. & the National Debt clock isn’t factually correct. The real sum of USD Debt is upwards of 120Trillion in debt. Theirs a lot that isn’t reported due to Government! & private sector. THATS REAL FACTS! If the US DOESN’T pass state laws on raising minimum wage of 25$ a hour for all states & including stop the Maximum employment agenda well…. This is global conflicts. Inflation is good. It helps the lowest class earn higher. Yes theirs lay offs for Middle & white collar but it’s been well over due. Too many globally see this as a conflict. Education isn’t a factor to determine pay. & NSA. & CISA is aware of this. Transparency is what other countries want. The US expects it but cannot return favors well….
