Better get fitted for those hearing aids, Kevin.

Oh, and take those blinders off before you walk out into traffic.

So McCarthy has decided to challenge Louis Gohmert for the title of Dumbest F*cking Person in the House?

Republican talking point. They all got the memo. Better hope Trump got it too.

Every day I’m more convinced that George Orwell wasn’t some forward-looking genius.

Rather, he was a plagiarizer with a time machine.

“McCarthy Doesn’t Think Trump Actually Called On China To Investigate Biden”

Please correct this headline, because he absolutely DOES think that, which is why he’s so desperately straining to provide an alternate facts rationalization that flips it on its head with doublethink.

I used to think McCarthy was just doing this incompetent defense of Trump to keep his post-Congress employment chances intact. But he really seems to be doing this nonsense exclusively to please Trump. I guess when Trump correctly pointed out Biden’s nepotism problem, he realized that’s hard to put something like that behind you. McCarthy’s own nepotism problems with his own discriminated Cherokee in-laws is much worse.

Kevin says, “If I break the law, you want to investigate me.” Well, giving your brother-in-law $9 million in federal contracts on your district at two military bases is both a violation of the US Code and an Ethical violation by a member of Congress.

McCarthy’s audience of one was most likely very pleased with his performance.

Hey McCarthy, even Miss Lindsey is calling Trump out on the Kurdish betrayal, on Fox News where Donnie will hear it. Who knows how long that bit of backbone will last, but it’s not starting out to be a great week for Dear Leader.

In all fairness, McCarthy doesn’t really think about much to be begin with…

His 60 Minutes interview showed what he was capable off once the training wheels are removed…

I was sold on the existence of that practice when I saw Marsha Blackburn debate Bill Nye, The Science Guy.

Once, Blackburn was so relentlessly adept at derp that I saw her fluster O’Donnell like I have never seen him.

Mr. McCarty…you were one of Paul Ryan’s “family” that thought Trump along with Rohrabacher, was paid by Putin but will keep it in the family.

Mr. McCart, who else are you serving aside from Extortionist-In-Chief?
Is it Putin, Thugs-R-Us Party or your UNPATRIOTIC self?

It is really high time for DEADBEAT Legislators to be VOTED OUT of office or EXPELLED!
