    Better than what Trump's bottom feeders did on Jan6 when confronted with locked doors.

    This quote last week from Kevin McCartney stuck with me.

    “This is a whole new concept of individuals that just want to burn the whole place down. That doesn’t work.”

    It’s like yeah no kidding! What do you think maga has been doing for the last 7 yrs. Both nationally and locally with zero solutions or constructive effort.

    So based upon the mindless pablum (standard leftist rhetoric) in the previous comments, there is no report?

    How about an analysis that indicates the $3.4 billion in annual borrowing costs on the estimated $75 billion in aid to Ukraine since the the Ruskie-Uke war started …… will lower treasury debt service in the long term?

    For the good of the country, the Dems need to vote for a moderate Republican. McCarthy will be recognized for his courage in putting the country in front of party or himself. What is sad is that the compromise was to sell out Ukraine. But a significant component of the GOP is aligned with Putin.

    They Are extremists and were holding the speaker hostage to their demands. McCarthy sacrificed for the country and the Dems need to give back. GOP has the majority and is entitled to their speaker, and the Dems need to do the undesirable for the good of the country. My bet is that they don’t.

    I like my alternative better and it would have a dramatically better outcome for the future of America. Five moderate GOP critters in blue leaning districts need to cross the aisle and vote for Jeffries.

    The main distinction between McCarthy and the far right. They don’t care about destroying the country if it is a pluralistic democracy.

    “If somebody wants to remove me because I want to be the adult in the room, go ahead and try,” McCarthy said of the threat to oust him. “But I think this country is too important.”

    It isn’t going to happen. Those members would end their careers.

    Nope, and nope. His district is west of Bay County, although I think his dad lives here. I don’t know anyone that loves him as a politician but there are likely some.

    You are right - Walton county. Obviously popular enough to get elected though

    There were an obscene number of federal informants in the crowd. Like the group to assassinate the governor of Michigan. 10 federal informants, 2 losers who went along with it.

    I'm not sure how you watch Ray Epps actions from the start. Then the way the left defended him from early on, followed by the slap on the wrist treatment he got and think anything different. Hell he was hidden from the public for months, somebody obviously didn't want him talking.

    The Ray Epps conspiracy theory is debunked. They left him alone because he chickened out and didn’t go inside the Capitol himself. He’s now suing Fox News for making false statements about him being an FBI plant.

    LMAO believing this is falling for the BS. How was it debunked? It is easy for the FBI to debunk things, all they have to do is put it out there and CNN, MSNBC & others are gonna eat it up.
