"Take this job and shove it" - House Leader Kevin McCarthy
"We get nothing done - they've all got their own agendas - stay out of jail. I'm just a piss-boy for a bunch of narcissistic brain-dead losers."
Kevin McCarthy is getting the ‘hang’ of the job.
Gotta be careful when you use the word ‘hang’ around the Republicans. Josh Hawley starts running up and down the halls of the Capitol when he hears it.
Anyway, poor Kevin, whereas he once dreamt of accomplishing things to pave the way for a second dark period in the USA with TFG at the helm, he now finds himself to be something of a child care provider.
A peek at his charges shows that in no uncertain terms.
MTG, fresh off her own divorce, and still a little divorce happy, calling for the Red States to divorce the Blue states is a case in point.
Now I’m just a cat, a Canadian cat at that, but doesn’t the very nature of the United States electoral system dictate that it is possible for a state to change color over time.
What am I missing here?
Did God decree that certain states be perpetually red and others perpetually blue? I would really appreciate some correction on this thought, if it is indeed erroneous.
In Canada we have an election and that’s that. We don’t relive it for ages, making ludicrous allegations for years. Sure, we carry grudges and resentments, but we accept things the way they are and plod on. We are a plodding people, but the work of the country does get done, although resentments may remain for years. They don’t stop the business of government.
A divorce?
Did the American Founding Fathers designate blue states and red states - never the twain to meet? Is that what I’m missing here?
Yeah - you almost gotta feel somewhat bad for McCarthy - but he wanted the job.
God only knows which of his ‘plans’ he gave up to appease his members and get their votes.
During the GOP House Leader race, I had a bet with Larry the No 10 cat that it would take over fifty ballots until someone emerged as leader.
Larry commented during the multitude of House leader votes, “Those Yanks should follow our lead here in the UK. Vote one in, and if you aren’t pleased with your choice, select the runner-up. That’s how we got Rishi. We didn’t trade up though. It was more of a lateral. And BoJo is still pulling the strings anyway.”
Then there are what I call the ‘do-nothings’. Here is a sampling of what I mean.
Seriously, what good is Matt Gaetz? He’s got a teen prostitution ring to run, useless as far as a House Rep goes.Although his government job does seem to give him immunity from prosecution while his partner serves time. Matt’s daddy must have a whole wheel-barrow full of dirt on someone. I can’t believe the greasy pimp isn’t behind bars.
And Jim Jordan, the king of the do-nothings. Has he ever brought even one piece of legislation to the House? I still think he’s just there to watch. He likes to watch. At least that’s what his wife and her boyfriend tell me.
And for f**k’s sake - will someone please get him to put on a jacket? Does he think that going without a jacket makes it appear that he’s doing actual work? Oh Jimbo, you ain’t fooling anyone. And no one wants to see that.
I could go thru the whole roster, but I’m just a cat and I haven’t slept in minutes - and talking about GOP house members bores the crap out of me, and you too, no doubt.
It’s time to grab a bite and have a little nap. I’ve been awake for minutes.
Have a good week.
