'McCarthy has really played them': Dems hail speaker for defying 'MAGA cult'
https://www.rawstory.com/amp/mccarth...nes-2665774237

Debasing oneself to Whell’s World is a fool’s game. Aligning with the rational world gets things done. Surprised McCarthy has finally learned.

Quote:
Dem lawmakers said after the vote that they were surprised McCarthy defied the fringe of his party.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, a Democrat, said that he "really admires" McCarthy for putting clowns like Biggs and Gaetz "in an absolute box."

"They’ll never have the courage to try and remove him. McCarthy has really played them," Swalwell added.

Rep. Daniel Goldman, a fellow Dem, said he agrees with Swalwell.

"I agree. I didn’t think [McCarthy] had the backbone to stand up to the MAGA extremists, but he did today," Goldman said Saturday. "Finally, he chose to be Speaker of the whole House, not just Speaker of the MAGA cult."

Well...90 of the 221 Republicans in the US House voted against the bill...which means 131 of the GOP caucus crossed Trump and the Freedom Caucus assholes and supported the bill. Was it just that they were the lesser vote whores who wouldn't allow all the really problematic things that would happen as a result of a default? Or is it possible that the anti-democracy Republican radicals are not the force that they think they are?

Hope this is the fever breaking. Doubt it very much it is so. The 90 to a one will still be supporting Trump for President.

Trump ordered his minions to default on our debt.
They couldn’t.

He wanted them to impeach Biden.
They couldn’t even put it to a vote & the “inquiry” hearing was a bad joke.

He wanted them to shutdown the government.
They’re tearing each other apart on TV instead.

Trouble in MAGA paradise ... and Trump's fraud trial starts tomorrow.

After two impeachments of Trump, apparently the MAGA House changed the voting rules, but have not been able to find out the details. Perhaps not a simple majority anymore?

Trump coming up empty again and now the financial fraud trial starting, the MAGA sail has been punched full of holes.

Gaetz will certainly try to oust McCarthy tomorrow and that should be yet another clown show.

Ahhh...I dunno....

We already know that the opposition is a pack of fucked up hypocrite lying assholes. But it cant hurt to be reminded of it, and to hear what the most recent convoluted bullshit might be.

Its a "keep your friends close"...thing...

Nah, like I've said before he supplies us info on what the Reich-wing media is telling the sheep without actually having to go and search it out ourselves So he's actually providing a service.
