...and I'm not sure this is a good time for it, but...

Kevin McCarthy ousted as House speaker, thrusting Congress into chaos

I do like that the temporary speaker kicked Nancy Pelosi out of the Speaker's Office. Why didn't McCarthy do that?

They have less than 45 days to come up with a budget, and now they're going to waste it by pointing finger and playing games while The Marxists on the other side laugh their asses off.

McCarthy is an Establishment Republican, so he's not going to rock the Uniparty boat.; October 4, 2023 at 8:55 PM
