“There’s many times where we have come to the leader, the minority leader, over the last two years and asked him to fight on various opportunities and various issues, and I have not seen the demonstrated fight that we’re looking for,” Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), a member of the House Freedom Caucus, said, according to POLITICO.
Someone should helpfully remind Rep. Good that Kevin McCarthy is responsible for the only two Republicans on the January 6 Committee being Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
It’s clear the House will not pass any significant legislation in the next 2 years. What we will have is endless grandstanding, baseless, and substance-free committee hearings.
That means the Republicans will be crushed in 2024. Americans want progress not performance art. At least that my take away from last Tuesday.
Good effing riddance.
This January, Gohmert, who turned 69 on Thursday, leaves office having defined his 17-year congressional career with conspiracy, conflict and fomenting anger.
Some of his most memorable controversies include the time he compared homosexuality to bestiality. Or when he said Hillary Clinton was “mentally impaired.” Or when he speculated that wearing a mask is what caused him to catch COVID-19. Or when he compared former President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler. Or when he said the canceling of a television show for homophobic remarks by its hosts was on par with Nazism. Or when he said he was grieving over the arrests of rioters involved in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Off topic but Russian missiles strike Poland.
Kevin didn’t know that that was the plan along. Nancy is just that smart, dontcha know?
Well that doesn’t sound good, or smart.
Killing civilians in NATO countries: Putin’s war machine is kicking into high gear.
So are some rocks.
I think it’s the issue of “Let’s be reasonable here” vs. “Don’t care how, I want it now!” The pundits expect the Freedom Caucus to be running the show because they are intransigent and delusional and refuse to be reasoned with. It’s expected (and normal!) for them to stomp their feet and hold their breath until the GOP leadership gives way.
And McCarthy is making it clear he’s only too happy to oblige.
A lickspittle will say “Please clap.” At 0:47
Ah, gee, ya hate to see it.
Um, Vlad, the dragon was asleep. But you had to go poke it.
ETA: Once again, we have been telling you and telling you. Now we have to kick the shit out of you.
If they do that and with such small margin they are going to spend so much time outing Speakers over the next two years that they wont even have time to impeach Biden.
Yeah, right? You go girl!
Don’t be careful Qevin. Wish for it, you might get it.
Trying to talk sense to a boxcar full of loonies?
Kevin McCarthy won the raffle of the Tasmanian Devil…
The NY GOP Congressional Caucus …well …what is there to say…?
You do get committee assignments, and more importantly committee control…
I fully expect them to reconstitute a 1/6 committee with only GOP election deniers to prove that it was all Nancy Pelosi’s fault.
