Two New York House Democrats, Reps. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) and Joe Morelle (D-NY), are demanding Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) deny Rep. George Santos (R-NY) access to classified information.
Fifty-nineth
“Let’s not be sensational,” he (McCarthy) said.
“He has a responsibility to uphold what they voted for, to work and have their voice here, but at any time if it rises to a legal level, we will deal with it then,” McCarthy added.
Ahem
Following the importance of protecting classified material set by the Cockholster disAdministration — think stealing a truckload of them and/or granting security clearances to the likes of Jarvanka — I’m sure the Guardians Of Prevaricators will do their utmost to protect the nation’s secrets.
McCarthy said, “No. You know why I’m standing by him? Because his constituents voted for him."
Therefore, this political cartoon bears repeating:
He is non-descript enough to attract a minimum of attention…but McCarthy just may have attained depths of Administrative damage hitherto un-contemplated.
For one thing, he has perhaps the most tangential relationship to the truth I have seen in recent times…
House Dems have their work cut out for them, to both contain the damage and to make plain to citizens that this is not government as it should be applied
Dems Demand McCarthy Deny Santos Access To Classified Info
Petty, but fun.
He shows no interest in actual governance. It’s all performative “Us vs. Them” with all the mentality of a schoolyard kickball game. It’s such a disaster to give the GOP power over any part of government. There’s no sense of connection or camaraderie on their side of the fence anymore. It’s all performance art to cater to the whims of the most insane on their side, who decide the primary winners.
I can hear his teeth chattering from 700 miles away. KM will never do anything to provoke the twenty people in his caucus who have the power of political life and death over him.
Reps. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) and Joe Morelle (D-NY) … deny Rep. George Santos (R-NY) access to classified information.
Good thinking, Dems! After all, exactly who is being authorized?
Can the President pull somebody’s clearance? As I understand with Trump, he could hand them out freely to security failures.
McCarthy may be the first incoming House Speaker in history to hide behind the defense of being helpless. 200 years of his predecessors are rolling over in their graves.
Hopefully the intel community (those who aren’t insurrectionist clowns) has continued to take measures that they surely had to during the GOAT clown’s admin to be really careful of what gets into the hands of the half of Congress that is terrorist based
Putting some dye into the arteries to see where it bleeds out would be fun.
Speaker Pelosi must be happy she escaped from the looney bin and won’t run again in '24. Early on she said Kev was a “moron”, she was right then, she’ll be right forever.
Calling McCarthy a moron is an upgrade
When the repubs under Kev start giving us details about their plans to cut SS and Medicare, we recipients will pay lotsa attention. They can offer all sorts of excuses about deficit spending and blah blah, but they allowed orange to cut taxes, and if they say tackling the deficit is the object, we know now they’ll be full of mierda.
Upgrade from Kev the Pinhead?
I’m gonna remain pissed off for a long time knowing he removed two good CA reps from very important committees simply because they called out orange over and over again.
I demand we confirm that Santos is actually human. I don’t want to give him a chance to claim extraterrestrial status himself and wrap that flag around himself.
There’s this guy…
