As details begin to emerge, many of the House Republicans are furious at Kevin McCarthy for the deal to lift the debt ceiling he has brokered with Joe Biden.
Suddenly, the prior battle and construct of the House Rules Committee is becoming important. While Kevin McCarthy may have the 218 votes on the floor of the House to pass the deal, he first has to get it out of the House Rules Committee (HRC). If three Republicans oppose it in the HRC, McCarthy cannot get it to the floor. Chip Roy and Ralph Norman are on the HRC and oppose the bill. Thomas Massie is also on the HRC but appears to be supporting Kevin McCarthy (lol, because muh principles).
Byron Donalds also delivered a strong rebuke of the McCarthy deal, as outlined below:
WASHINGTON DC – […] The powerful House Rules Committee will spend Tuesday afternoon debating and — ultimately working to pass — the bipartisan debt deal, requiring a simple majority of at least seven votes on the panel to come to the floor. But some conservatives, including Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), a committee member, have signaled they may use their power on that panel to block the debt plan from receiving a full House vote.
“I’m going to do what’s in the best interest and this bill is not in the best interest of the country. That is why Democrats are voting for it,” said Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), another conservative who sits on the Rules panel and has suggested he will oppose the bill during the panel’s meeting.
[…] Under the panel’s current makeup, Rules Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) can lose two GOP votes — along with all four Democratic votes — and still advance the bill.
Senior Republicans believe that’s exactly what’s going to happen, according to three people familiar with the discussions. Norman and Roy haven’t explicitly said they will oppose, though Massie is expected to vote in support of the measure going to the floor.
GOP Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) said that he is “confident” that the bill will hit the floor on Wednesday, noting that Rules would be considering amendments. Members submitted more than 55 amendments to the debt deal, most of them from Republicans but some from Democrats as well. (read more)
More staged BS?
Wasnt there supposedly some kind of arrangement with some Republican hold outs on the McCarthy installation for speaker where they could remove him quickly if he went rogue and reneged on his promises? Is that what is happening here?
I realize its all staged BS but Im still curious.
yeah lets see if they call the bluff: vote to replace him immediately.
we need at least ONE of the micks to be shoved in front of a train… proverbially, of course
‘It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion.’
It’s like watching the pillage and razing of the greatest nation on earth in slow motion.
Or
It’s like watching the Nazis rolling into Paris.
There I fixed it for you.
i’d say its more like weimar before all that, but its trajectory is the same, yeah.
I usded to think when they would mess with us like this that it was just Big Club business and nothing personall but they sure do look like they’re enjoying themselves now.
That’s what I was thinking. I think the 87k IRS agents are most alarming– politically weaponizing the IRS and arming them too.
yes this is most alarming… we don’t need an army of armed IRS agents… that spells just one thing.
I visualize them dragging people out of their homes like during Kristallnacht.
The Federal Reserve can decide non-digital currency is worthless at a certain date, and there is no recourse. So what will the 87k IRS agents be doing then.
By first directing the reader to this article https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-digital-currency-monetary-authority-dcma-launches-an-international-central-bank-digital-currency-cbdc-301793163.html. And then to article https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/federalreservebank.asp. Which together forming Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).The first article tells us that FedNow launches in July and the second article it shows our currency is based on Federal Reserve Notes, and the Federal Reserve is an independent agency. The Federal Reserve can decide non-digital currency is worthless at a certain date, and there is no recourse.
That’s right MP. Vacate the chair. As it stands right now, there are enough RINOs and pleased Democrats to keep the snake in power.
Yes, it’s all staged Kabuki Theater. Both wings of the uniparty are pretending that they don’t like the bill. They’re not going to remove McCarthy. McCarthy was chosen by the uniparty, his opposition to become the speaker was staged as well.
This debt ceiling is going to pass, that was decided months ago. It just took some time to be able to try to con the American public that there was two sides to the debt deal. Real soon the piggies will be again feeding at the gravy train trough.
It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Does that mean the Uniparty has already decided to install Gavin Newsom over DeSantis in 2024 general election too?
That will be decided in Sea Island.
The Turtle: You have learned well Grasshopper. We have kept our donors happy and we will split the $400 mil you supposedly saved. The dems will win the house in 24 and we can receive billions over the next few years. Corks are popping at the white house and dem headquarters.
The call is on :
Bishop’s relevant remarks:
Checking in….Yes, More Staged BS Confirmed.
“You knew I was a Snake when you took me in…”
which snake? we’re surrounded.
fire is a great way to get rid of snakes.
That’s what Indiana used when he was thrown in the Well of Souls!
Thank you both for the giggle.
lol
The Trouser Snake
Heck there are 535 of them and they are all anacondas…..fat and happy. They will eat us next.
McCarthy is a perfect example of the scorpion and frog story. He’ll do what’s in his nature, which is to always serve himself.
This reminds me that as this deal was being forged, just a few days before it was announced, the propagandists were attacking the House Freedom Caucus. Everybody should have realized that was the politics of betrayal.
So, what happened to Massie? I thought he was one of the good guys… wonder what dirt someone got on him?
I spoke with a staffer in Massie’s office today and my impression was I was not the first caller saying please vote no.
FYI —the hearing may be wrapping up and the time for the Committee to vote is near.
If you want to call, I’ve provided links to all the nine republicans on the Rules Committee over on the Presidential Thread. We just need one more NO vote to block it.
So THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN MASSIE
Massie is now on record as YES.
It helps his guy, Dee S.
And donors.
A “yes” for allowing the bill to come to the floor or a “yes” for the bill’s passage? There’s a difference.
Did You HEAR HIM SUCKING UP and FAN BOYING ELON ?
https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article275775161.html
Anyone that hates Trump (massively)and supports Ronnie isn’t a “good guy”
Tucker pushed McCarthy
And now that he works for Elon CHEF 👨🍳 BOY RD will be next.
He also endorsed Desanctimonious! Tells you a lot!
I think Massie is trying to position himself as the heir-apparent to McConnell in KY. In order to have a chance, you have to pass the “club test”. McConnell is a half-stride behind Dianne Feinstein, so the next election cycle could bring us Senator Massie.
He is also seeing the potential benefits of the massive Green Energy graft sitting for the take on the GOP side.
“I think Massie is trying to position himself as the heir-apparent to McConnell in KY.”
If he’s doing that, he’s wasting his time. McConnell already has a successor in mind. And it’s none other than Daniel Cameron.
No. It’s Thiel.
uh, THUNE, I think you mean.
McConnell doesn’t have anything in mind, at this point. Nobodies home.
Everything I’ve read shows that Theil is the heir-apparent to McConnell. Thiel is another snake in the grass.
No. It’s Thiel.
oops. I meant to respond to G-Pol.
Thought the heir apparent was the snake from Dakota, John Thune. Could be wrong…will have to go back and look thru Sundance’s info…
Sundance says its Thune from North Dakota.
“Thune”
Massie has always been a sell-out…nothing AmericaFirst about him. He talks a great game though.
All Libertarians are like that. Sanctimonious prigs, guaranteed to screw you when you least expect it.
None of them are good guys. You don’t reach that level being a good guy. We as a country must wake up to the reality that they’re ALL bad.
Trump was an anomaly and look how hard they’ve tried to keep him from happening again.
Massie is not a good guy. He is a liberal pretending to be a conservative. He runs his house on solar energy and drives a Tesla. Soy boy.
Wasn’t part of the deal to vote for McCarthy as Speaker that no bill could come out of the Rules Committee unless ALL the Republican committee members voted for it?
Another kayfabe cliffhanger. Just 1 vote short. Dang!
“Suddenly the prior battle and construct of the House Rules Committee is becoming important.”
I’ll tell you what’s being CONSTRUCTed. A stage with a big fake time-bomb in the middle.
SD, you really are the wind beneath the thespian wings.
“A stage with a big fake time-bomb in the middle.”
if by that you mean the very real missing ammonium nitrate, i would agree with you. if the Davosians fbelieve this next 4 trillion is must-have, they will slaughter a few more peasants and toss the case of MAGA hats on the ash heap.
R’s are always a day late and a dollar short.
Expect nothing and they never disappoint.
WE Live JUST Outside INDIANA REP. Yadkym’s District ( by a mile ); JUST Got off the Phone with His Office in D.C. and VOICED MY OPINION on OPPOSITION to McCarthy’s DOUBLESPEAK on This
” compromise “.
AZ REP Biggs IS STATING That ” Leadership ” made this deal a WEEK AGO ! ( on Bannon’s Warroom )
DO IT FOLKS ! LET THEM KNOW !
Saw that too. Happy to report my rep Mary Miller is a hard NO.
If congress was full of Mary Millers our country would Truly be Great Again! I still can’t believe she ran for office – [She’s not a politician….& somehow she won]….she is one of the few people I trust in congress….Heaven Sent!
Perhaps it IS tme to consider a variation of the “DINO” tactic others have suggested.
But NOT MAGA running as a DEM, MAGA running as a RINO, and then once in office,…”Surprise, surprise!”
Follow all of the advice from the campaign consultants sent in by the RNC, don’t talk about stolen elections, count on the State R and D parties to insure your election, and then once in office, put on your MAGA Hat, and brace for attacks on your ethics, family, etc.
Actually, doesn’t sound very tempting, does it?
Would take good acting.
Would we get a secret handshake or hand sign? Or a decoder ring? 😊
Nope…
Congresswoman Mary Miller is one of the few political bright spots here in Illinois. She is the only MAGA voice from Illinois in either chamber of Congress and is the highest ranking MAGA office holder in all of Illinois.
It’s a testament to just how conservative Southeastern Illinois is that the Democrats couldn’t gerrymander her out of power and that she beat the RINO Rodney Davis in the primary.
It’s a shame that most people stereotype Illinois based on Chicago and not places like Mary Miller’s district which is one of the most conservative districts in the county.
Rand Paul Releases Alternative to Biden-McCarthy Debt Deal
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2023/05/30/rand-paul-releases-conservative-alternative-to-biden-debt-deal-n2623852
I’d like to see Rand Paul or Mike Flynn as Trump’s VP.
No, no, no.
Rand Paul is controlled op; has he stated the 2020 election was STOLEN?
If so, please provide a link.
How did Rand Paul vote on the 2020 certification of the election?
Rand Paul voted against Trump. Rand never did anything against Fauci. All show.
The same Flynn that oversaw the Haiti operation for Clinton?
Funny, my husband and I both agreed that Rand Paul should have been the one to write the Damn bill. This was before this Article came out. Rand Paul should be the automatic go to guy in writing these insane bills.
1 – Roy “came out” is support of De Santis a few weeks ago, but maybe he still has some whatever. 2- If EVERY taxpayer in America stood up and said “no more money slimeball wasteful grifters… and try to arrest all of us” it would put a stop to the cow patty material (that IS Washington) real quick. Just a fantasy thought I know…
Your comment deserves millions of upvotes – and people willing to take action.
just so everyone knows: you can go to your W4 form at any time and claim EXEMPT.
as far as i know, it is not a crime to hold your tax revenues until they come due. maybe in the meantime a leader will finally step forward to lead millions in a tax revolt.
Maybe this is why the 87k addition to the I R S. (People’s revolt) McCarthy lied about funding them, lied about releasing the J6 tapes, lied about reducing spending. Business as usual for these GOPe grifters. And yes, Massie is a huge disappointment. No balls whatsoever. Went to DC with good intentions & swallowed the poison.
I do not see a spine when I look at Thomas Massie.
No need to arrest you. Just erase your bank accounts and you would kill yourself.
Where is the Motion to Vacate that was set up when McCarthy was elected? Where are the 20 House GOP “Never McCarthy” holdouts who ensured there was a Motion to Vacate?
McCarthy promised to rid the IRS of the 87,000 new agents on his first day. His first day never saw such a promise fulfilled.
The Motion to Vacate only takes one person. That’s the good news part.
The bad news is the Motion to Vacate is about calling for a vote. Takes a majority to vote out McCarthy.
I know I have some KY Jelly in my bathroom, been there for some years…looks like it is time to bring it out and wait for some government person to knock on my home’s door–most likely from the IRS.
I love being a debt slave, my master is so kind and giving. That’s why the KY jelly…any questions?
BOHICA
Massie (R-KY)
New brand on the market. Smoother that the old McConnell (R-KY) brand.
Please convince me I am wrong. I so want to be.
As each day passes I become more inclined to believe that our nation as founded is clearly over and WE THE PEOPLE are being played as suckers by both parties. This debt is simply not sustainable and the only way I can think to balance the budget is a major population kill off (easiest and most probable – retired seniors). I pray God I am wrong.
On the subject of McCarthy’s remaining chair – what happened to the J-6 videos that I believe will exonerate the protesters and confirm that it was all a set up. There is no way Congressmen like Jordan do not know this and yet – not a word.
Yes I am living my best life in the moment but I at the same time I grieve for what I believe has been lost for at least the foreseeable future.
Not sure if the great experiment is over but we are surely being played for suckers by both parties
“,…by the ONE UNIPARTY.”
“This debt is simply not sustainable…………”
Yes. So painfully true. This is why I believe there’s been such a push for this new ‘digital currency” scheme. Our paymasters in D.C. are looking for new and unique ways to hide and protect their own assets while simultaneously leaving we the people to absorb our soon to collapsed dollar system.
We must NEVER agree to digital currency. NEVER. Whatever it takes. It will be the final nail in the coffin of the Sovereign USA, our Constitutional Republic.
isn’t this what we said about the election steal 2020, 2022, 2024…….unless we find leadership with some balls we will have digital like ACA was rammed down our throats…..Isn’t this budget being rammed down?
Politicians have approved the big banks heist of our money ….they will get some scraps and yes our debts they created can no longer be extended. We will pay by the loss of retirement and all our assets.
The banks own the politicians. I thought everyone already knew that.
What happened to the list of federal agencies conservative politicians promised to cut if elected? EPA. Education, IRS, DOJ, CIA, MIL … I see plenty of fraud, waste and abuse to cut – it’s absurd. They don’t represent the people.
Leadership has the good ones with good intentions up to their eyeballs and chasing their tails because of all the issues/corruption. They should have been organized and ready to go before 2022 election.
A la 2015 O’care?
The Citizen Free Press included a Yahoo article about how harmful CPR is. It had wanky statistics saying CPR saves less than 10% (it said like 7%). I viewed the whole purpose of the article to start making euthanasia of the elderly acceptable. Canada is way down that road and when we get 100% socialized medicine we will go there too. Very disturbing. I think you may be right about the plan to kill off the undesirables and elderly.
Hillary actually came out and said get rid of the old people. It stands out in my mind, but don’t know when or where she said it, but she did say it.
I was an EMT for 10 years and I can tell you we did too much CPR.
They don’t want to pay the Social Security.
& Medicare
you dont want me doing the convincing.: IMO the republic officially ended in 2020, but the replacement can continue as long as we continue to passively consent to be governed no matter the outcome.
Nobody, NOT ONE person in Congress has ever come out in defense of the J-6 detainees, including those held in the gulag for up to 2 years pre-trial, and/or about their kangaroo court guilty findings.
Why is that???!!! We know why. They do not upset the applecart lest they suffer being made into applesauce by the DS who own them lock, stock, and barrel.
I was not finished with my post/comment but lost the site unintentionally. I would like to add to my previous post.
Bottom line is that most of the Reps that were elected or re-elected recently are NOT who and what they claim to be. Jordan, Massie, etc.
Our Country is currently in a free-fall. I pray and pray and pray. but I realize it will take more than prayers. I’m over 70 years old and live alone. I am in despair knowing that this DS Radical Cabal ( the WEF, and with Wray and Garland) is in charge.
Agree. They don’t like being called EXTREMISTS either. Like being called a Racist. Clutch the PEARLS !!
Murray, my sentiments exactly. It’s obviously futile.I say everyday, just gonna live this out, these morons deserve what they get. Until they live under communism they will never know.
I actually don’t think any of them saw the j6 tapes or even know half of we know….they are simply lazy and don’t want to know…..McCarthy actually said he did not see any of the videos. Their little staff members most of which are cheap, young wanna be politicians or consultants are the first to weed through the issues of the day supplied by MSM.
Well the bad news is this has been going on for decades. The good news is so many people are waking up to the charade. Once we reach the tipping point…we take our country back.
“Furious”, I tell you!
😏
With a capital F….mmmphfffff!
At least you and I know he’s blowing smoke just like all the rest of them Freedom R-Men!
I’ll put my money on Byron Donalds as the only real holdout.
Any takers?
Remember, The House Freedom Caucus Voted not once but Twice for Paul Ryan at the the time……..I realize there are some different members now…However, Jim Jordan voted Twice for Paul Ryan…..Think about it…..
With few exceptions…..This is 100% Theater…..A complete waste of your and my time……
Jordan has been an absolute disappointment and a complete poser, IMHO! He talks and talks and talks and never actually accomplishes anything! I strongly suspect all the innuendo and rumors about young boys on the wrestling team must have some merit to them because he is CLEARLY very controlled opposition!
Everyone must be replaced, primary by maga or else
Jordan has been in the Swamp for too long. Replace him.
Thanks Marjorie.
At least we have a few people fighting for us or, at least, pretending to fight for us.
There is no real fighting. It’s Kayfabe Kombat. Top to bottom.
I fear you are right. 😔
your definition of fighting and mine differ greatly, sir.
They’re is no one fighting
No one sticking their neck out. Just angry words
Exactly.
The only reason Roy is against this is because Massie is for it. They’re both playing us….they’ll switch it up next time.
Thats part of the “gaming” of the system they created.
Not unlike the “squishy Republicon” votes they use, to exploit the “fillibuster rule”.
The R party has the majority, the R base wants them to DO something that is opposite of the Uniparty agenda.
So, they advance a bill, and have one or two members vote AGAINST it, SO THAT all of the others can go home to their districts and campaign on their totally meaningless “for” vote, and say “THATS why you need to send me BACK, and donate more $ tomy campaign!
Repeal the odious fillibuster rule, and the 17th, and the Senate would actually have to be responsive to WE, the People.
Explain how the fillibuster is odious and the 17th amendment please…
Unfortunately we are the few paying attention….but I fear the majority will soon wake up …because they will have it in their face.
AMERICAN ACTION NETWORK HAS HAD 3 30 Second Ads on HOW McCarthy MADE Biden Compromise…
( a Little about American Action Network – GLOBALISTS imo )
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Action_Network

Every time the Republicans get leverage they blow it. Biggest bunch of cucks in the world.
Your frustration is valid but the diagnosis is inaccurate. Every time the Republicans get leverage they use it quite effectively… to obtain money.
Democrats use money to get power.
Republicans use power to get money.
Trading their leverage (power) for money is what Republicans do. From their perspective they are blowing nothing…
just screwing over the American people, and a large chunk of the rest of humanity to boot.
Stop imparting discrete and autonomous meaning to the red wing of the UniParty. Are you another UniParty non-believer?
stop giving them leverage, then.
Because they are not in our court. They care nothing about We The People. They, just like the Dems are in the pockets of the Globalists. It’s been crystal clear since Paul Ryan took the Speaker position, and has not changed.
I pray the few Repubs on our side call out McCarthy and OUST HIM. If they do not, our so-called Republican reps are in the same basket with all the other members of the SWAMP.
Ad Rem
Somebody ” Blew Up ” the Page Format…
( Hope it wasn’t My Fault )
Saw that, but it hasn’t adversely affected “functionality” so “no worries, mate!”
Nope….loss of the Rumble video was MY bad….clumsy paws. 🙁 (Waiting for SD….)
Again, not a big deal, don’t beat yourself up.
Yes, they did. I had to go to a link – not really a link – it was on the top bar and after hovering, it said “show side panel” showing “side panel” (I use Google Chrome). I clicked on it and was able to get the full page. (able to see the entire script, with nothing cut off at the far right side of it.)
If Republicans are going to have a Black Presidential, or Vice-Presidential nominee, at some point, this guy, Byron Donalds, a Black Donald Trump, is the one, not Tim Scott, a Black Mitt Romney.
I LOVE HIM!
At first I wanted Vivek but as time goes on, TRUMP/DONALDS 2024 is the ticket!
I would never vote for someone of Indian descent. Those people are very strange, very strange indeed.
4th generation American or older.
except….. when he had the opportunity to become speaker instead of McCoffers he turned it down.
Neither the President, nor the Vice President, or any Cabinet nominees should be considered (or not considered)because of their race, color, sex or creed. MAGA, America First candidates are what is required.
Amazing how they are always just short of accomplishing the goal or doing what’s right for Americans.
Almost as if it’s staged. Chip Roy also said Biden won the election fair and square.
F—k all these people.
Your comment carries no weight.
”F—k all those citizens.” – the deep state
Never said it did. But thanks for the input. If you’ve given up you can move along now.
Thanks
Nancy Mace MAY turn out to be a disappointment, but she had a great line.
Something like McCarthy got outsmarted by a guy that can’t put his pants on!
Good line, anyway
Yes, she waid that McCarthy got outsmarted by a guy who can’t even find his pants.
Oh ….It was time she threw out the conservative MAGA bone. People of the MAGA party not too happy with her……It’s Phony all of it.
Odd that we are always one R vote short of doing the right thing for the country …
Ha see my post directly above yours at the exact same minute. Sad but humorous in its sadness.
A lot of the election results manipulation is to set it up SO THAT both Houses are real close to 50/50, so that they can maintain the illusion of “D vs R” while thwarting the will of the People, while avoiding accountabilty FOR thwarting the will of the People.
Once you accept the Uniparty concept, and reject the “R vs D” false narrative, consider “gerrymandering” with commissions appointed to carve up districts, and R and D parties supposedly fighting each other in Court.
REAL purpose, like “painting” some States Red or Blue, is to insure the HOUSE stays close to 50/50, for a situation just like this.
Gee, “if only” McCarthy had a 30 seat majority, he could push through a more aggrrssive version of what the base wants.”
Day after Day we all list the millions of reasons we no longer have a representative Government….Even Sundance said it is not fixable ….too much corruption /tentacles in every branch. The only….only option is to throw it out by not paying taxes in mass set up an alternative economy as stated in the Declaration….It will have to be the people I don’t ever think state leadership will unite,they are just as dirty.
Is there really $500 Billion in our Federal budget for gender studies?
$ is no object.
Security Paper and ink is all that’s needed to keep the Mint printing presses rolling.
Of course your message was an ‘understood’ /sarc. So’s mine.
When you are a printing press masquerading as a country, there is money for anything you feel like.
It increases our inflation.
“Over the past 10 years, I’ve been an advocate of regular order and trying to make things work, try to make this place work right. And I would be reluctant to try to use the Rules Committee to achieve a legislative outcome, particularly if it doesn’t represent a large majority of our caucus.”
Then what the hell are you occupying a chair for? And Massie’s a ‘libertarian’! Maybe he should consider becoming a Librarian.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve tried to just getalong and collect a paycheck.
So after a couple of months of acting, Kevin McCarthy reminds of who he really is.
As if you forgot.
i thought it was a terrible performance even then.
He never changed. Is he still bunking in Lobbyist Luntz’ loft?
move to vacate the speaker. primary every yes voter
Move to vacate the Speaker.
The outcome of that could be really bad.
Following the press conference, Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.), a member of the Freedom Caucus, became the first House Republican to explicitly signal support for ousting McCarthy according to Politico.
Politico asked Bishop in an interview whether he would support a motion to vacate the chair. He replied in the affirmative:
I know wishful thinking but: “Hold the line!”
What’s the point of a “debt celling” when it keeps getting raised repeatedly? It’s more like a floor than a ceiling.
“To infinity, and beyond!”
(via WRSA)
Thomas Massie is just another Trey Gowdy. They sure do talk a good game!
Per ZH Roy is moving the bill forward if I read the story right. It will pass. The Rs always cave.
And in other (convenient) news….McCarthy is saying he’s going to hold Christopher Wray in contempt. Didn’t they do that to Holder and nothing happened?
I’d rather this insane spending was curtailed – like they promised.
I don’t even follow what these turncoats say any more. It is all fake. The Freedom Caucus is controlled oppositiong.
We can’t handle any more inflation… have you seen the grocery prices?…
Charles Durning
Nancy Mace is voting No, so doing the correct thing for once. It almost killed me to call and thank her for doing that.
Her entire statement is at https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1663510647190040578.html but I especially like the opening lines.
“Washington is broken.
Republicans got outsmarted by a President who can’t find his pants.”
Don’t get too excited. Nancy will be allowed to vote with the RINOs on the next major vote. THEY TAKE TURNS VOTING WITH THE UNIPARTY. They take turns being a “rebel” so that you get excited about what they did and thank them. Leadership divides the representatives so that they barely achieve the legislation that they want or do not want. But they take turns stabbing us.
What’s going on with MTG? She continues to rub up on McCarthy. Haven’t seen her face all day. Wondering if her America First constituents throttled her.
Yes,I never understood her cozziness with McCarthy. I used to like MTG, but now I do not trust her. Is she a visitor to McCarthy’s loft in Luntz’ abode?
I wrote an article some time ago on Byron Donalds. Friends who are active in conservative politics in Florida are very disturbed by him…and well, and his very close friend who is his top aide. Both Chip Roy and Byron Donalds are promoting another Constitutional Convention a la Meckler’s Convention of States, saying they can bypass congress, but we all know what Art. V says, and you cannot open, convene or call a convention and bypass congress. Nope!
But that’s only part of the documentation they sent me and I was shocked. Donalds, has been working with the Democrats to advance digital currency this summer. At the Collier County Republican Men’s breakfast in July of 2022, Byron Donalds said, “The Democrats have promised it will never be used for tracking law abiding citizens.” In October of 2022, at Alfie Oakes’ Seed to Table, another public meeting was held where Donalds again was promoting digital currency. Alfie Oakes is also promoting the destruction of our 1787 Constitution by advocating an Article V Constitutional Convention, just like Byron Donalds, Chip Roy, Ron DeSantis and so many others.
It is why my vote will always stand with Donald John Trump.
Donalds is also tied to Americans for Prosperity, a Koch brother organization. The Koch brother organizations are for open borders, gay marriage, abortion and UN Agenda 21/30. Link, Link. They are also funding the furthering of a new constitutional convention…just like Soros’ Open Society foundations.
There’s more. A few years ago, Byron’s wife allegedly tried to do a hostile takeover of Mason Classical Academy. There’s a lot of bitterness in the community because they wanted to run the charter school, Mason Classical Academy, which has one of the top ratings in the country. They did not conceive the charter school, but had, at one time, been on the board. Kelly Lichter and her husband Nick were the founders. As a state representative, Byron tried to write bills to make it easier for his wife to accomplish the takeover.
At a Republican Executive Committee meeting a few months ago, Donalds and his top staff member, Larry Wilcoxson, tried to start a public argument and disagreement with Kelly Lichter. They were backing her leftist opponent. Tensions boiled to such a point that Florida Politics reported it. A video lasting two minutes and 19 seconds mostly shows Donalds, with staffers Jesse Purdon and Larry Wilcoxson, speaking inaudibly with Lichter in a corner of the store.
Larry Wilcoxson allegedly takes home a six-figure salary. He is the top aid to Donalds and is his best friend. Wilcoxson also allegedly has an arrest record, and he apparently started the fight. He was dressed in a campaign tee-shirt for the leftist school board member, and also tried to start an argument with Kelly Lichter’s husband at the same monthly Republican Executive Committee which was attended by Byron. There are witnesses to this confrontation.
Many of the true family grassroots leaders call this man, Wilcoxson, Byron’s thug. They are very angry at Byron and Wilcoxson.
I know this has little to do with the vote, but Chip Roy did nominate Byron for speaker.
I am in agreement with these two on the debt deal, it is horrible, but what can one expect from a loyal WEF member like McCarthy.
Andy Biggs ran for speaker, but everyone ignored him despite Andy always voting with the Constitution.
This “agreement” is another part of the destruction of America’s economy, which WEF wants done.
My heart is breaking for my beloved country.
wow
No surprise. Republicans are worse than Democrats when it comes to fetishizing black politicians. A johnny come lately like Donalds is not fit or appropriate to be PDJT’s running mate and therefore a heartbeat away from the being the most powerful person in the world. Our standards have to be higher.
Awesome post, K N. I have great respect for Donalds and also Biggs. They are true Patriots.
I absolutely do believe you and have been suspicious of this guy since he said he was going for PDJT over the meatball.
We have GOT to stop being so quick to rush to the applause of these snakes. Until ANY politician does something that is essentially unforgivable to the deep state, we have to stop stupidly rushing to support them.
We should rank them. When speaking positively about something some unknown new DJT supporter did for our team, we should literally say something like he’s a CAT 2 on the MAGA scale. And have Hurricane type rankings. If someone has done something that reaches PDJT MAGA level, we call them a CAT 5. But prior to absolute proof we should rank them and not get into pissing competitions trying defend any of these people as if they’ve reached the level of full MAGA trust & respect.
For instance we could have been ranking Musk a CAT 1 or CAT 2. Give props to some of his moves but it lets us all keep our eyes on the fact that this dude hasn’t done anything that stamps him as MAGA.
I think this is a good plan. Because for instance, I know I’m about to ruffle some feathers here, but I bet a lot of people here have MTG as full MAGA. But personally, I think she’s about CAT 4 right now and showing signs of losing steam. Female Jim Jordan if you will. Send articles of impeachment or something. If you truly believe the republic is on the like we all KNOW it is, it’s time to send a Hail Mary. Do SOMETHING unforgettable. Anything!!!!
There are literally only 2 humans on the world stage outside for PDJT that I’m putting close to stamping as MAGA at CAT 5. That is Kari Lake, and Mark Robinson. Those two appear to be truly fighting the fight.
Other than those two, I don’t know anyone above CAT 3. We MUST stop going ape S—t over all these flash in the pan hero’s we think we have. They cause the perfect distraction and we fall for it every time.
I agree completely. Words mean nothing.
Julian Assange is a CAT 7.
GREAT point. He did something that got him trapped in the grasp of the machine. He’s legit and there is no denying.
I endorse Andy Biggs for Speaker of the House.
Yes, Donalds has made a few missteps, but he’s smart enough to sidestep, explain, apologize, “clarify”, etc. quickly. Nothing sticks.
JUST Got off the Phone with Indiana Rep Banks OFFICE in D.C. – Told the Young Staffer to Have Rep Banks to BLOCK the BILL !
FOLKS the OFFICES ARE STAFFED in D.C. – USE YOUR VOICE !
The Rep for my District is Mrvan … LtCol Greene Missed by about 16%
I contacted my Rep Mark Green, TN. Nothing, nada, zilch, zero response. I’ve also contacted him on Gettr a couple times today – nothing. He/his staff has posted but not about the debt ceiling. He’s always yacking about fiscal conservatism yet he votes for almost everything dear old Kevin wants him to vote yes on. He’s such a fake and I’ve been so disappointed in him. I didn’t vote for him in 2022 because he’s become so slimy. He should have been fighting for the border bill or funding yet he’s MIA and he’s CHAIR of DHS committee.
Another useless tool.
It’s well past time for the Republican Party to go the way of the Whigs.
The RINOS ARE the WHIGS, or at least their descendants.
The naive New Republicans made a deal with the devil when, out of political expediency they joined with the WHIGS, and we have been paying for it, ever since.
Well they preach the nation can go into default and even bankrupt. That’s impossible. They are a supreme statutory government and can raise taxes and in this case print more fiat currency. So that’s not an issue. It’s all a big soap opera for them saving the nation and working overtime. The only way out is Trump. Proving once again our government is the number one enemy of the people.
These people know exactly how we feel. And they have no regard for it whatsoever.
Actually, they really don’t.
They haven’t a CLUE how we feel.
Tucker worked hard to get McCarthey the speakers gavel
Now he is working with Musk to help
CHEF 👩🍳 BOY RD
and people still fawn over him!
Never Trusted Tricker. I think he called Trump an ass after the 2020 election.
I’m starting to really like & respect Bryon Donalds….He’s got a bright future ahead of him….Heaven Sent!
DO NOT “LIKE” Politicians.
Like what they SAY, like what they DO, but do not transfer that emotional responce to their words, to THEM.
Its similar to “liking” a hollywood actor, because of the parts they play, and the lines they deliver in MOVIES.
MANY said they “Liked” Lindsey Graham, after his 2-3 minute speech at the end of the Kavanaugh hearings, remember?
Thats a “case study”.
Byron Donalds was born and raised in Crown Heights. Graduated from Florida State and worked in the banking industry. Joined the Tea Party and then ran for Congress. He was a member of the group that stood against McCarthy for Speaker. He’s worth listening to.
Same with Susan Collins’ speech. Yet, she is still a true blue RINO.
As if…
It’s the thought that counts, so I’ll give him credit for at least suggesting it.
Sundance, you keep saying “stop pretending.” And that is correct. Stop pretending that ANY of this is anything but theater to deceive the masses. Massie, Roy, Bishop, and most of the rest of the so-called Freedom Caucus voted for this when they dropped their (fake) stand against McCarthy getting the speaker’s gavel. THIS was the real battle and with the exception of a little over a handful of them, they sold us down the river for whatever 30 pieces of silver they wanted. I said it then, and will say it again: A vote for McCarthy as Speaker is/was a vote for the Swamp way. And here we are. Gong to be $36T in debt by the time the next POTUS is sworn in.
Uniparty kabookee stuff again.
These days the annual
budgetdebt ceiling battle is always a loss for the taxpayers.This year is no different, so may as well take whatever McCarthy comes up with.
I’m at the vet waiting for blood work to come back, they have a Bitcoin magazine on the table.
I was skimming through it and there’s some interesting articles (took pictures so I can read at home). One article was talking about the politician’s net worth compared to their salaries. The article had several charts with donations broken down from individuals, pacs, to Dems and to republicans between 2008 and 2022. 2020 dwarfed them all!! Big banks, big tech and big pharma all gave more to Dems than Republicans. Defense was about 55% to R’s.
We need to create a parallel economy that bypasses the corporatacracy.
The ENTIRE Inflation Reduction Act is UNTOUCHED. WE GOT NOTHING.
As was intended. The RINOs’ main weapon against us is DECEIT. Their greatest power is, as Sundance says, THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE.
They MUST keep up the illusion that we are voting for a representative intent on REPRESENTING US, when they care about themselves ONLY.
The mask is being pulled off, bit by bit. Once We the People truly realize that a private club has hijacked our votes, to ingratiate themselves to globalists for filthy lucre, the entire thing falls apart. In fact, there could be a noose or two involved.
That’s why I send SD’s repeated Big Club explanations around a lot! At some point, there will be strongly expressed MAGA outrage, and serious justice.
It’s one thing to be deliberately lied to; its another to realize that your “representative” has willingly subjected you and yours to ENSLAVEMENT.
The name “McCarthy” used to be associated with Communist hunting, despite its warts. Now the name is just synonymous with Communism and Repub-grifting.
Let’s start calling FC phones to remove McCarthy
