#Mccarthy #GOP #Cheney
Until the GOP is held accountable for their lies and sedition. There will be no unity. No bipartisan anything. They cannot be trusted with a toothe brush.
lol
Don’t you love it when the GOP have leadership like McCarthy whose I.Q.’s are smaller than their shoe size. That always works out well….
Gop accountable?
Not by their voters,only by their sponsors(Koch family etc )
when i think of McCarthy Jellyfish comes to mind , spineless and transparent with a devious side .
truth seeker about our food , Your description of Kevin McCarthy is spot on.
see my comment above……
Just like his best buddy Donald Trump.
@Merkabah Phoenix he’s up to something. Plotting and scheming like Machiavelli.
Jellyfish aren’t devious….they only sting you if you touch them. The GOP has turned into a FRAT house that somehow hasn’t had it’s charter revoked by the University.
Kevin Mccarthy : when I Say something actually I don’t Say anything which means I don’t want to Say anything because that’s how I Say something and right now I don’t know what I am Saying.
When you stand for nothing you fall for Trump
Kevin McCarthy is the cowardly lion in the TRUMP OF OZ. He has no class, and his lack of fortitude and cojones are so obvious that it’s embarrassing.😑😑
You guys must be so proud of Biden lol sorry didn’t mean to laugh
Lmao. That’s the truth.
Bwah hahaha..dead with laughter.
This is all for naught as the Ex leader is going to be charged in a number of cases before the courts, too funny as they implode over ego
From your lips to God’s ears
It’s an old Republican “get-away-with-it trick” — changing what people believed at the time. Their problem is that the dead people is concrete proof of what they really believed on Jan 6.
The seeds have already been planted. Supporters will just scream harassment and witch hunt until some nut goes off and tries something…
That will be the true “trickle down ” the Republicans are so famous for espousing. I’ll make some popcorn!🤣🤣
My Grandfather had a description for guys like gaetz and mcCarthy… A** wipers.
In the British armed forces: ‘brown-nosers’ or ‘a**elickers’. Same repulsive, abhorrent thing!
On the streets they’re known as JOHNS.
I see a split coming! Time to stock up on popcorn! 🍿🍿🍿
Thinking less of a split, more of a boiling down of the base. Any dissent shall be crushed by loud sychofants, and cast out by the misled Electorate.
@Damien Darko247 they’re already the minority, and they want to get smaller? Never stop your enemy when they’re making a mistake…
McCarthy will regret his hypocrisy soon enough.
His constituents should vote him out if they had a conscience
I’m sure these Jihadist Republicans will regret at the end . MAGA crackhead strike again.
I wish I had your optimism. It looks like if Dems don’t pass the voters act he’s getting the gavel next year, McConnel too. Dems will lose Georgia Senate seat next year.
Unbelievable lmao. If Republican voters say the election was stolen you say that they’re liars, and if Republican officials say the election wasn’t stolen then you say they’re liars too. Wow, you have such a stupid audience.
@Brett Kenschaft they barreled full speed off the cliff of Truth today and they’ll be drowning like the lemmings they are in the Sea Of Trump Lies. Cheney’s just hanging onto the cliff of Truth, but she’s been a Trump Lemming for years too
McCarthy should have quit and was likely right when he said ” I don’t think “.
Start drinking McQarthy, you don’t want to see what’s coming 😱
McCarthy is such a snake he lies about what he said IN THE SAME SENTENCE.
With such great examples of spineless greed and aversion to truth as McConnell and Lindsay Graham to follow, he is getting better at ignoring any faint twinges of conscience he might have left.
“here lies the politically expedient”. that will be the epitaph on the tombstone of the ReTrumplican party
YEP.. “WINNERS”
The way you prevent Donald Trump from running is to amend the requirements to include release of full financial disclosure prior to running for office.
Let’s just prosecute.
I tire of waiting for their pet laws to be passed b4 the taxpayer’s concerns are even addressed.
Notice how fast the states have changed laws lately. People in those states are WAITING.
No,to prevent him from running again is to put him where he Belongs,PRISON!!
Please let trump run, that means it’s a slam dunk for the DEMS.
That and minimum requirements, psych. eval. and intelligence test.
but we already got it all.. The way you prevent is for Maga to grow up
Kevin McCarthy’s Big Tent is not a tent, it’s a Big Cave. A cave where spineless people are hiding.
So you would have the GOP alienate most their base?
Liz Cheney has MORE HEART & MORE SOUL than ANYONE in the House & the Senate !!!
And more balls!!!!!!!
Among the Republicans.
I agree. It takes someone with balls to hold there ground unlike the men that have them in the first place.
At the end of the day though she’s still a supporter of the awful Republican agenda and a outrageous warhawk. I can’t really say that I’m sorry that she’s no longer part of the Republican leadership. It can only be viewed as a good thing for the US.
When it’s all said and done, Kevin McCarthy is nothing but a coward.
Don’t forget Mitt.
PAB❗️
TMO “When it’s all said and done, Kevin McCarthy is nothing…”
McCarthy has always been a doofus….but he is so hungry to be speaker, that he will choose lies over truth…..typical hypocritical bible thumper.
Liz Cheney never deserved to be sacrificed for this!!!
I am still laughing at the concept of McCarthy being a speaker of the house. I would be really amazed if GQPever managed to regain the majority after all the stunts they have pulled so far.
Never underestimate the power of apathy…
@Damien Darko247 And ignorance.
@Damien Darko247 and gerrymandering
The dude is not a bright man. During a 60 Minutes interview about Trump’s first impeachment, in a response to a question about Trump’s phone call with Zelensky McCarthy shot back, “You put that word [though] in there!” The little man had not read the transcript. Un-fricking-believable.
You never fly so high that you can’t come crashing down….and one day, we may see Kevin’s wings clipped. Good does eventually prevail.
Yeah
How are you doing today my lady?
McQarthy is Trump’s tape worm 🐛
@Ron K Good one!
Yes it does, especially when evil is so very very stupid.
So….
Cheney: “The election was not stolen. Trump lost”
McCarthy: “We need to get rid of Cheney”
McCarthy: “The outcome of the election is not in question”
Does anyone think McCarthy might be bipolar, since he consistently makes one statement, then shortly thereafter states something that is the exact opposite?
McCarthy will say anything to anyone on any given day, for three reasons. First, to confuse the issue. Second, to have plausible deniability later. Third, because he’s too dumb to remember what he said earlier.
@Elaine Flink I do not want to be guilty of sticking up for him, but that is him trying to please unreasonable constituents. Former Pres. Trump lit a match and tossed in to a pit, primed and full of material to burn. This doesn’t end by getting rid of him, he already did his part. It doesn’t end by saying he lost, that just gives oxygen to the fire. This kind of fire needs to be watched closely until it burns itself out. In my opinion.
@Elaine Flink Either bipolar or it’s another side effect of Covid. McCarthy should of been relieved of his duties, not Cheney.
Isn’t it funny how he changed once she was out of his way in a way!
It’s not “leadership” at all from McCarthy. Liz Cheney has shown actual leadership.
Yamiche is such a fantastic reporter! You rock girl!
Oh yeh she is !
