House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) did some backpedaling Wednesday evening as his and his colleagues’ threats about the debt ceiling and cutting Medicare and Social Security have begun to draw attention.
Kevin McCarthy wants us all to believe what he says and not what he actually does.
But to the actual point, every time Republicans say they are “strengthening” a Government program that benefits all Americans instead of just their few, they mean they are reducing or trying to eliminate that benefit.
McCarthy, one of the most dishonest liars in politics (and that’s saying something), can backpedal or frontpedal. He is still a malignant political presence which should evoke a massive Democratic voting reaction against the Republican Party.
Failure on our part to do so is negligence to our children and future generations.
Certainly the innocence of the children should evoke something.
Rethugliklans are determined to reduce the US to the status of a third world country, mostly so they can blame Democrats for not stopping them. “We told you so,” they’ll say.
The inattentive and disinterested haunt the minds of many a Democratic strategist…yet we are still in a position to outvote the GOP even taking into account their background noise.
Kevin McCarthy may be willing to say and do anything regardless of who he hurts and what damage he does for his craven desire for power. That is his manipulation and catering to the most deplorable ideas and people for personal gain in my view makes him evil, and we should be careful to dismiss evil as stupid as evil is far more dangerous.
I still do not think Kevin McCarthy will be Speaker, but by some miracle he makes it, Liz Truss and the head of lettuce will still have longer shelf life.
If you blow things up you are either a civil engineer specialized in blasting or a terrorist. I’m pretty sure Kevin is not proposing more construction site work when he says he wants to blow up US finances.
I keep thinking that some of the righties just might have a look at what too many rightwing Glamour Boys in charge of the UK government has done to their economy, but our homegrown wannabe Glamour Boys can’t learn from their very own disasters, so learning from the Brits is unlikely to penetrate their avaricious souls.
He can be evil and stupid at the same time. Being one of these doesn’t preclude being both. He’s a dummy and sadly for us overly ambitious and leads the House Rs who have the same mind set.
OT - they’re finally starting to go after these MAGAt miscreants.
Columbia County Man Indicted For Threatening The President, A Congressman And A Federal Judge
SCRANTON- The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Robert Maverick Vargo, age 25, of Berwick, Pennsylvania, was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of threatening the President of the United States, interstate communications with a threat, and influencing a federal official by threat.
According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, the indictment alleges that on October 11, 2022, United States Congressman Bennie Thompson’s office received a letter from Vargo at the Rayburn House Office Building, Washington DC, containing threats to kill Representative Thompson, his family, President Joseph Biden, and U.S. District Court Judge Robert D. Mariani alluding to “Anthrax,” and containing what appeared to be a white powder.
I don’t know how the judge figures into this, but the fella sent the letter from prison.
