McCarthy makes fresh concessions to try to woo hard-right Republicans in speaker bid — The Washington Post

In a stunning reversal, Republican leader Kevin McCarthy has made fresh concessions to a group of 20 lawmakers in hopes of ending their blockade of his speakership ahead of votes Thursday.

If this story is factually accurate, it seems like an incredibly stupid concession for any prospective Speaker to make.

And if he’s that willing to cave just to get the spot, he is unlikely to be much of a force AS speaker down the road.

There are twenty-one people in the congress, just twenty-one of them willing to represent the American people, all the rest are in lockstep with the fascist elites, all of them!

The people most see, or hear the most from each day, are often almost uniformly bought and paid for by the money, which means they do NOT work for you!

Its a fucking tragedy that virtually every sociopathic kid sucking at the toes of fascist democrats doesn't know this, its an obscenity that those who suck at the toes of the fascist rino's don't either!

This is a disaster for the whole GOP, but especially for McCarthy—but then again, he was a disaster when he ran for Speaker seven years ago, too.

The far right has him by the short and curlies. He could try to win by shoveling more and more concessions to them, which he very well may, in which case they get a disproportionate amount of power and look like golden gods in the press. If he gives up, they get their way and somebody closer to them (Steve Scalise, for example) instead. If he courts the Democrats, or they court him, or if he does something wacky like order twelve of his acolytes to vote "Present," he is well and truly finished not just in this Congress, but in the primary pulverization he'll suffer in the elections just NEXT YEAR.

And the longer it goes on, the more their base loves them for their obstinance.

He lost two days ago. Now, he, and the twenty far-right goons pushing this, are just hurting the party, the House, the government, and the American people. His best path now is to step aside, let someone else take center stage, and retire to the position he is best suited for, that of a rank and file Representative. Maybe he'll get lucky and get a committee post.

You’re a moron.

We'll see, I suppose.

 

[BULLDOG]

Every action this administration has taken over two years has damaged the country. EVERY SINGLE ACTION. I'm not sure how you define anti-American but that behavior seems to fit the description to me.

Wrong again. Your insanity won't let you realize that.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

You’re very slow. Of course the Republicans (note the correct word) don’t (again, note the correct word) have the Senate or the Executive Branch.

So (again take note of the correct word) the point — one that has nothing to do with “politics” (yet again, note the correct word) is that the Republicans have their hand on a significant lever of power.

Properly utilized, the lever of power can be used to shut the fucking Democrap agenda down because — the Executive and the Senate cannot get anything done without the House.

But for that “lever” to work properly, the old way of doing business has to come to a screeching halt.

You’re welcome.

Well, none of that hyperbolic horseshit is going to happen, so you've essentially provided nothing.

You're a superstar.

 

[BackAgain]

We'll see, I suppose.

Nah. It’s already established.

 

[BackAgain]

Well, none of that hyperbolic horseshit is going to happen, so you've essentially provided nothing.

You're a superstar.

You haven’t got clue one. But then again, you’re a retard. So, no surprise.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Sic burn, retard.

 

[BackAgain]

Sic burn, retard.

Your fail is noted. And I enjoy it.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Your fail is noted. And I enjoy it.

I know. Your pettiness is pretty much transparent at this point.

 

[BackAgain]

I know. Your pettiness is pretty much transparent at this point.

Zzz.

You’re not just in over your head, you’ve already drowned.

Class dismissed.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Zzz.

You’re not just in over your head, you’ve already drowned.

Class dismissed.

Bye, Felicia.

 

[BackAgain]

Bye, Felicia.

Exactly. You’re done. Bye, bitch.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Exactly. You’re done. Bye, bitch.

Still quite around, thanks.

Like most Republicans, he is very fickle and untrustworthy.
