Most ordinary people would never give away their dignity for much less.
“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6
โMost ordinary peopleโ are sheep and have zero morals, ethics, values or much less any dignity. They follow lock step with what their so called โleadershipโ tells them to instead of have any individual and independent thoughts. This is exactly why you think there is a left and a right when itโs one big uniparty faction taking full control over the American people as they pretend to fight and prevent any meaning full growth and change that this country actually needs.
You need to wake up pal! Youโre the kind of person who thinks he knows whatโs going on and all the while youโre sleep walking into a nice cold grave.
Most ordinary people are not swamp scumb politicians.
All Kevin wanted was to say he was speaker once.
@Robert Winn So you idolize traitors to the American constitution. Great hero!
@Robert Winn “None of us know the real story behind George Floyd”
Everyone knows the real story. We all watched it happen live. A cop knelt on a man’s throat and back while he was gasping for air. It was murder.
@Gary B great, so how do we sink it then, and destroy the bridge crew thats on board?
@3rd Reich Ball Lol, It’s in the country’s best interests we move on from this to better things no matter who the captain is. Because up to this point we’ve all been losing.
@Robert Winn What would you give up to learn simple grammar? I can’t understand your ramblings.
“Now We Learned How to Govern”, Kevin Mccarthy admitted on National TV.
That’s telling enough and I hope American people are paying attention.

@Balerion “The Bringer of Death” didn’t like that infrastructure bill? Or did you sleep through that?
@Balerion “The Bringer of Death” From an article in Newsweek last month: “A modest gun-safety bill expanded background checks (although not universally), made it easier to prosecute illegal gun trafficking, and provided federal funding for so-called red-flag laws. Congress also passed the CHIPS Act to boost domestic production of semiconductors, a long-stalled postal-reform bill, substantial military aid for Ukraine, and a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Actโall with fairly broad support from both parties.”
Despite all the successes in passing legislation, a lot was also thwarted by the slim Congressional majorities being unable to get past Republicans voting in lockstep, aided by Sinema and/or Manchin.
McCarthy had just indirectly admitted he is weak. ๐ค
@Balerion “The Bringer of Death” Yikes, you have been asleep for 2 years.
Okay I didn’t know that the way to govern was to give up all your power.
Lol ๐
Have you ever read the Constitution???๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
This isn’t a dictatorship… yes there is no one ring to rule them all ๐
He gave up everything for a title and a $30k pay raise. That’s the value he placed on his dignity, and how pathetic is that.
@Wolfman 51 it’s even better if your in a wheel chair asset protection never likes to search cripples
@c D youโre just wrong. You are lying on behalf of 20 extremists who want Republicans to move even further to the right.
@Christopher Parks The Constitution is considered extreme by you nut jobs, have a nice day.
@c D I do not consider the constitution extreme. Your problem is that you assume what others believe rather than listening. You will never be taken seriously when you never bother learning the first thing about issues you pretend to be passionate about.
They just learned how to govern in four days? Wow. What does that say about what they’ve been doing until now?
Mccarthy: I am speaker in abstinence. I have given up the power of the job as concessions to hold the title in name only. I am the speaker which is my legacy.
Kev would sell his family if it meant having some power.
“Now we’ve learned how to govern,” says the man who’s been in Congress 16 years and yet he just now learned his job.
@fallen alpha no matter what party they represent us time to put pressure on them I know very few Congressmen do anything for their districts as well as absentee senators ๐
@Sherry Gadberry Turner that explains it. Might be a good thing that I never heard of him in the past. I usually only hear about the crazies from both parties.
He hasn’t learned a damn thing
Barry said of Biden …”Give him enough time and he;d f–c- up anything”
@Jeremy S Apparently ,said to be the dumbest guy in congress
I’m an old lady and am quite unhappy because I have feared for our form of Democracy for many years and am more fearful of how much damage this congress will do. It’s simply incredible the amount of stupid that voted against their own interests.
‘It’s simply incredible the amount of stupid that voted against their own interests.’ It happens every election, Mary.
@Eat the Rich I know hon, but it will always amaze me. I’m going to recommend author Ian Haney Lopez’ book not just to you but everyone. It’s called Dog Whistle Politics.
It’s easy. Most of these voters, mainly on the Republican side, vote on fear/hate of the “other” not policy…..even when it effects them directly. They live for the endorphin release they get from the outrage porn they view each night on Fox or OAN or any other ring wing sources and vote accordingly. The only way the spell is broken is if they have a direct personal crisis that one of those Republican policies adversely effected. Sometimes, though, not even then.
You am old and you am happy, you am fearful and they are stupid, lol…
@Mary Rodger tell us Mary whatโs in our best interest? And your dog whistle recommendation is hilarious communist propaganda.
Most politicians give up their souls to get into office.
In every *Non-house keeping (House rules) bill the House initiates and passes with their majority,* they must then send to the Senate which is controlled by Democrats. This will be about what _’hard line’_ the Dems are willing to put up and how they govern even with a _rebellious House!_ Remember too that if a congressionally passed bill is rejected by the President, it takes a 2/3 vote in BOTH chambers to overcome him, which in the House will make Democrats votes viable.
He gave away his honor and self-respect โ if he had any to loseโฆ
His thank you to DT shows his lack of everything.
He had to keep fighting because his donors wanted him there for a reason
His soul, balls, dignity
He never had balls, dignity or a spine.
Another ” Speaker in name only”
his knees
How would we describe Nancy, her broom, breasts and ………
His Balls ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
He will be held accountable, we all should want that. The lobbyists are not as in control as they normally are.
Just remember one of the main conditions that the freedom caucus wanted for him to be speaker of the House was to enact term limits for all of Congress. McCarthy refused and I hope both parties can agree that all of Congress needs term limits!
@Michael Morningstar so you’re calling George Washington an idiot? Yeah you’re part of the problem it’s anti-democratic to not want Lords and kings do you have a brain cell? Allowing someone to be in office for decades and having the power to fortify their chances of winning is definitely a problem. At least they’re founding father had the foresight along with many of our other founding fathers to require it for the president in the end
@Cat Cowboy Everything you said was asinine. You represent the kind of idiot that wants term limits well.
Term limits didn’t prevent Pootin and they gave us trump. Facts crap on your baseless theories.
Voting = term limits
@Michael Morningstar yah but if you hate Trump he could only be president for 8 years Russia has term limits too but they are 6 years long so you would have to deal with him for 12 years.
But could you imagine if there was no term limit do you think Putin would give up his presidential seat or do you think he’d stay president until he died like a king. Since you dislike trump could you imagine if we didn’t have term limits instead of him being present for four or eight years imagine if he stayed president for 20 30 are you sure you want that?
For God forbid we had Biden for 20 years. Yes term limits don’t prevent bad politicians from getting power but they do stop bad politicians from staying in power
@Cat Cowboy Pootin has term limits and he got around them. Trump was voted out without term limits and only got in because of them.
That you don’t like Biden is further proof of your idiocy.
“Now we’ve learned how to govern” – give the crazy people everything they demand.
Democrats could have voted for McCarthy the first time and NONE of those deals would have existed, but they didn’t. Stupid.
He would sell his soul for that job no matter the cost to the American people.
I couldn’t do nothing but lmao thinking about him saying that then matt gaetz so giddy about how they bent him over a barrel ๐๐
Thank you to the Republicans that demanded he do right by the people first! Hold him to it!!
