Kevin McCarthy Has Betrayed Our Country

[dlk]

His slow walking appointments to the House Intelligence Committee has shown where his true loyalties lie and they are not with America or the American people. Lock him up!

[First Speaker]

1. I know. He's one of the Pod People...

[marked50]

22. Ha Ha-LOL...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. He needs a swift kick to his posterior! n/t

[czarjak]

5. Right to the kisser would be my choice.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. That would also work. n/t

[MurrayDelph]

18. Well, considering where he keeps his head

It's a twofer

[oasis]

3. Slimy rat!

[napi21]

4. I wonder what made him finally appoint them?

I heard the report this AM and am curious about what made him finally concede? The report I heard said he named the same people who were on the committee while they were in the maj. and the ones who are not named either resigned from congress or lost their election in Nov. so it couldn't have been that he was deciding who to [put on the committee.

6. Maybe no one wanted the assignment?

Actual, properly functioning, legit oversight by the Dem-run committee, and someone finally holding members this corrupt clusterfuck of an administration accountable, will fully expose the complete dereliction of duty by the last committee. Their many, many failures will be undeniable (and I think possibly criminal conspiracy and/or obstruction).

Plus, while the investigations and subpoenas are underway, you-know-who will likely be pitching fits on Twitter, calling the R committee members out by name for their 'lack of loyalty' to him.

That's a tough sell.

Ugh. I cannot wait for sanity and normalcy to return. 2020 can't come fast enough!

[Wounded Bear]

9. I'm pretty sure it's basically the same band of idiots from before...

except one new guy, and four who 'left.'

[happybird]

10. That seems a fair way to go

Along the lines of "if no one is showing interest, I'll just have to reappoint the same people."
Option B: a quick round of Not It.

ETA: The foot-dragging is likely just more obstructionist bs, but while reading the reports about it the past few days, I couldn't help but think, "what R would want that assignment? They're gonna get their clocks cleaned!"
(And I pictured that weasel McCarthy scurrying around, begging people to take the job. Picturing him helplessly scurrying makes me happy, lol!)

14. Probably the risk of Pelosi changing the rules in such a way that it would be read as their slow

walking being silent consent for the Democrats to move forward and thats a huge risk for the Repugnants.
After all without people like Nunes to leak whats being discussed out they would be in the dark on things like what information has been uncovered.

[RockRaven]

8. He's. The. Guy. Who. Said. He. Thinks. Putin. Pays. Trump.... Swear. To. God.

Of course he's a f--king traitor. Not a minute's hesitation to align himself 100% with a person who he says is paid by Putin.

[Achilleaze]

20. The top House republican did say he thinks Putin pays Trump*

And all the other republicans swiftly fall to their knees as subbies for Comrade Dirty Donny, the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

Some sick republican shit has gone down. republicans have betrayed America and American democracy.

12. The next paul ryan.

A California congressman that should really be sent back to the streets of California. Take nunes with you.

13. McCarthy's Actions Bought the Other Criminals in His Party a Month's Time

[True Blue American]

15. My Congressman,

Mike Turner is on the committee this time. I will be watching him.

Good Mayor of Dayton, but when he went to Congress he changed.

[democratisphere]

16. I believe many redumbliCONS are actually Russian assets

beholding to putim. Traitors to their own country.

[rusty quoin]

17. The thing about Republicans is they have got the best lawyers to look into ways to slow or stop

government. They’ve got the big money, and it’s worked again and again. Garland was blocked.

They did the 2000 election thing. They lost, but the supremes gave it over.

Sometimes I just want to give up, throw in the towel, but I keep on because it is the thing to do for our children.

[aeromanKC]

19. Obstruction of justice

Pure and simple, obstruction of justice.

[Vinca]

21. Kevin McCarthy is one of the dumbest people to have ever served in Congress.

At least he's not in the immediate line of presidential succession. I almost think he's too stupid to have planned the delay.
