Shortly after the Trump insurrection attempt in which he sent white nationalist terrorists to attack the Capitol on January 6 to stop the certification of the 2020 election he had just lost, Kevin McCarthy blamed Trump. McCarthy played tough guy and told some gathered Republican colleagues the story of how he told Trump over the... Continue Reading →
Kevin’s Revenge
Kevin McCarthy is blaming Democrats for him being ousted as Speaker. When McCarthy became Speaker, it took 15 votes. Every single Democrat in the House voted against him. Every single Democrat voted for Hakeem Jeffries consistently on all 15 voting rounds. The Republicans did not. Members of the Freedom Caucus weren't even consistent in who... Continue Reading →
Republican-On-Republican
I'm going to be honest with you. I have zero sadness over House Republicans fighting with each other. I have no empathy for Kevin McCarthy in this situation. If McCarthy didn't want to be in this shitstorm with goons then he shouldn't have made deals with goons. Kevin McCarthy made deals with the Freedom Caucus... Continue Reading →
Expunge
House Republicans are talking about expunging Trump's two impeachments while also discussing impeaching President Joe Biden. Trump was impeached twice while the Senate failed to convict him either time. His first impeachment was over his extortion attempt of Ukrainian Pesident Volodymyr Zeleneskyy. Trump was withholding military aid, legislated by Congress, in exchange for political dirt... Continue Reading →

Cruelty Caucus
The most progressive members of the House are not happy with the compromise reached between President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy on raising the debt ceiling. But, their unhappiness with it isn't a threat to the leadership of the president or Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. However, the anger from the House Freedom Caucus, who will... Continue Reading →
Debt Ceiling Cheetahs
In yesterday's blog, I talked about how Republicans don't actually care about corruption unless a Democrat does it. In the case of the Biden family, Republicans can only pretend there's corruption...but they really really care about it. The same holds true to a lot of other issues, like debt. Republicans don't give a shit about... Continue Reading →

Kevin’s Kick-Start
The House of Representatives have passed a lot of bills this year and it's made many of its members bark on Twitter about how they're keeping their promises and saving America, yada yada yada. But most of these are on bullshit like keeping men out of women's sports, condemning attacks on pro-life facilities, an "abortion... Continue Reading →
