House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has been in campaign mode for weeks to secure the 218 votes he’ll need in the upcoming House elections to become speaker. That meant making a series of niche promises to the MAGA members who are opposing his bid. This week, he made yet another promise to woo his way into the speakership — one that could make life quite difficult for him in the long run.
If it isn’t McCarthy, who would the Rs put forward? On a happier note, is there any limit to McCarthy’s self-abasement? Any groveling so cringe-worthy that he will say
nuh-uh, I may lose the Speakership but I still have my pride? Just kidding.
McCarthy Makes Impossible Promises As He Scrambles
Expecting this to end up llke The Producers, where McCarthy gets elected Speaker and then it turns out he promised the same committee chairmanships to multiple critters.
None of this will matter when Climate Chaos comes roaring down on us. And Florida is in the crosshairs…just look at Ft. Myers. Merry Christmas Snow Blizzard and Arctic Freeze. Normal is gone.
Kevin and the House R’s are is disarray, no meaningful legislation will come from the incoming House, and to get anything done he will need Dem votes and the Senate to cover his sorry butt.
5 people I never thought I would agree with but in this case I do.
From the article:
“Five conservative members — Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) — have publicly said they will not support McCarthy’s speakership bid,”
Herschel is available. But really, the supposed greatest nation in the world has to put up with this horseshit while actual challenges that have nothing to do with the treason caucus’ performative pantomimes grow each day. Something has to break the fever of stupid.
