Quiverin' Qevin has shown himself to be a feckless, worthless coward, a political incompetent, a liar who can't be trusted farther than you can see him with your eyes closed. He's hated by both Republicans and Democrats. How the country survives the next 13 months of what he has loosed on us is something I can't figure out.

As to the 48 Fweedumbererasses, they are traitors who have declared war on the United States. They need to be rousted at midnight, and disappear into pretrial detention. Personally, I'd like to see all 137 of the traitors in both houses of Congress arrested.
That’s why organizations such a CREW (among others) exist: https://www.citizensforethics.org/ Like the character “Sunny” played by Goldie Hawn in “Protocol”, we will be watching them “like a hawk”.
I thought it was in the Constitution that pay cannot be changed during members’ term in office...can’t remember the exact wording. I apologize if the answer is in your link Barbara, haven’t had enough coffee to read everything!
I haven’t read the bill (only the press release so far) & perhaps it won’t affect the current situation anyway…I mostly like that someone in Congress agrees with the idea enough to pitch a bill!
And food programs, Head Start, most of the IRS and damn near everything else will shut down. Federal employees and the military won't be paid. Worst is that this signals to our enemies that we are an extremely unstable and weak country.
What gets me is that yes - this happens in a shutdown BUT the Rs want to cut back the food programs, headstart, HEAP (of all things) without a shutdown!!
What a great billboard opportunity! Tell the public exactly WHAT these yahoos really want to do.
Just bear in mind, whatever we read and see in the news, so do they, and they also have their spies, just like we do. Imagine the president's anguish when MTG displayed those pictures of Hunter Biden, if nothing else. And knowing that although Trump lost in 2020, he's still very much involved in what happens in Congress and has been charged with more crimes than any other political figure in the world's modern history. Worst is knowing they are watching his putrid "campaign" which consists of nothing more than "retribution," and it has started with this government shutdown, which he has openly orchestrated.
And that is what bothers me the most that these people listen to him based on his hate filled speeches. I disagree that they read or hear what the left is doing. Faux news only lies and twists the truth and the word socialism is now a four lettered word for them. Not knowing that these big corporations get it and the mainstream people don’t! Politics is too brutal for me but I will continue to read HCR no matter what
I, too, am waiting for the traitors in both houses of Congress to be arrested and held accountable for their actions leading up to 6 January and beyond, and to not disregard those who have assumed office since the 2020 election who are continuing the charade of governance.
TC, I couldn't say it better, so I'll not try. What I will do is add to your thoughts by adding what I've already said elsewhere: It should by now be as obvious to anyone paying the least bit of attention, that those farthest 'wrong' right wing extremists, seek not to govern, but to "reign" the majority of not only congress, but even we the people. Vain, quivering Kevin will not be treated well by history, nor should he; He's an absolute embarrassment. He should never even be recorded as a 'speaker' of the house, because he's never actually held the strings that move him about.
David Was it in Treasure Island where there was a scene of a pirate walking the plank? Certainly there would be House Raucous Caucus sharks swirling in the waters below.
Or perhaps it would be a Russian roulette game with a bullet for the loser.
Santos seems an appropriate speaker replacement for McCarthy because of his sterling character.
Yeah, Right! Santos lies as well or better than McCarty. If there were a god one would ask for help. There ain't none a coming from on high, so vote blue.
I’m a ceramic artist and I’m working on a project called “The Yam People “ inspired by a comment from someone on Substack who referred to DT as Yam Face. The Yam People are small and unfired. You can make them disappear back into mud by putting them in water. My brother, who lives in Florida, got the first one. He named it DeYamtis and plans to have him walk the plank.
Susan I Yam in favor of your project, but don’t make the potato seem sweet, because those potato heads are not. Can I get a Fat Yammy in his Jammy (with ketchup)?
Absolutely, their constituents are getting exactly the kind of inefficient/incompetent government they deserve. The rest of us have to live with it and will until those districts turn back around which they will eventually be forced to do.
And isn’t that Trump’s MO? If he can’t have what he wants, he will take everyone down with him. Don’t think he isn’t smiling as he is watching all of this.
What was that movie about a bum who ends up impersonating a rich Beverly Hills guy? Nick Nolte played him. If Congress picked a bum off the street it would be an improvement.
It’s mind-blowing that one person, McCarthy, can shut down the federal government out of pure self-interest. And he will never look in the mirror and feel any regret for the hardships he’s causing across the land - nor for eroding America’s dwindling prestige.
Kevin McCarthy demonstrates how its done by allowing his radical Freedumb Caucus to dictate their juvenile (ie not serious) last gasps of relevance by impeaching Joe Biden; if only to give the Twice Impeached Child King Donald Trump some satisfaction that history might see Biden in the same light as himself
Behind closed doors an anonymous Republican voice was heard muttering, “See? I told you this would be a trainwreck”
You and me both! Plus Michael Moore who’s asked over and over why are these insurrectionists seated in Congress when they participated in a coup?
Also, evidently Republicans have no interest in policing their own members. They know they’d lose control of Congress. It’s so tight in both chambers, Representatives and Senators are afraid to take a bathroom break.
However, the Dobbs Decision is what has done in the GOP.
Thank the SCOTUS for the losses Republicans are about to suffer in 2024. Women are having none of it, Gen X is rising and will work toward removing the white supremacists old fogies party. Why are seditionists permitted to govern? They’ve stated their purpose, they’ve been unfaithful to their oaths, side line them at the very least. But then again, we wouldn’t have the clown circus shit show impeachment “hearings”.
I guess the up side could be the Democrats taking the bull by the horns and exposing Jordan and Comer as the asses they were born to be every time they open their pie holes and stupid rolls out.
That’s a bit extreme because it opens a door we might better keep closed, but I certainly appreciate the sentiment. Thinking about Christie’s renaming DT Donald Duck, I woke up in the middle of the night with this little ditty going through my head: Donald Duck, What a quack, All he does is yak, yak, yak. Please feel free to have some fun with this one😊
Calling them “traitors” to our democracy is certainly not hyperbole. Our most potent weapon against them and the other members of the GOP, who are complicit by their silence, is to VOTE!!
I think that feckless Qevin lives in his own little bubble-gum world, like so many of the crazy-town Rs do.
I keep remembering how proud he was when (after 15 freaking votes!!!) he was finally made Speaker. I think in his head everything is just peachy and he's loved and revered. Reality doesn't touch him.

I’m with you on that. 137 members of Congress tried to overthrow their own government. And, yet they are still in office. How is that possible?
I agree! Why are they still collecting paychecks from an institution they sought to destroy?
There is a bill introduced to prevent Congressional pay if there is a forced shutdown. That pay should be suspended seems gobsmacking obvious! https://craig.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-angie-craig-introduces-mccarthy-shutdown-act-stop-member-pay-during
But they all have so much money from insider trading that it’s not a issue for them

Exactly and it seems they have been following this mess of our country for some time now. Biden has helped so much but he can only do so much

Who are the grifters now. Free money with lots of time off for bad behavior.
I, too, am waiting for the traitors in both houses of Congress to be arrested and held accountable for their actions leading up to 6 January and beyond, and to not disregard those who have assumed office since the 2020 election who are continuing the charade of governance.
Good for you. They deserve it.

Again, the Republican right earns F's for both legislating and oversight; digital F's.
I have yet to see a plausible discussion of what a vote for the next Speaker would look like.
David Was it in Treasure Island where there was a scene of a pirate walking the plank? Certainly there would be House Raucous Caucus sharks swirling in the waters below.
Or perhaps it would be a Russian roulette game with a bullet for the loser.

Perfect, Suzan - you should be able to retire with that project.
Susan I Yam in favor of your project, but don’t make the potato seem sweet, because those potato heads are not. Can I get a Fat Yammy in his Jammy (with ketchup)?
Santos for Speaker! Wonderful, hilarious. A little sunshine at a terrible time - thanks.
Lol Keith !
Perfect! 😄😄😄😄😄
But also incredibly sad.
And length of service to the nation.
ZERO!
Yes! Yes! (s/, of course). Not very photogenic, but that doesn't seem to help much (on the contrary).
It will make the frat party scene in Animal House look like a poetry reading.
Absolutely, their constituents are getting exactly the kind of inefficient/incompetent government they deserve. The rest of us have to live with it and will until those districts turn back around which they will eventually be forced to do.
Sometimes we gotta laugh or we all go crazy.
That’s the Republican mess all over. Burn it down without any thought or plan for what comes next
And isn’t that Trump’s MO? If he can’t have what he wants, he will take everyone down with him. Don’t think he isn’t smiling as he is watching all of this.
Steve Bannon's plan for years.
What was that movie about a bum who ends up impersonating a rich Beverly Hills guy? Nick Nolte played him. If Congress picked a bum off the street it would be an improvement.
It’s mind-blowing that one person, McCarthy, can shut down the federal government out of pure self-interest. And he will never look in the mirror and feel any regret for the hardships he’s causing across the land - nor for eroding America’s dwindling prestige.
House GOP’s Clown Car Dumpster Fire?

They were doing a pretty good job on Jordan and Comer at the "hearings" Thursday.

Where oh where are the FEMA camps the government was preparing for when all the conservatives are arrested? (/snark)
Calling them “traitors” to our democracy is certainly not hyperbole. Our most potent weapon against them and the other members of the GOP, who are complicit by their silence, is to VOTE!!
I so agree!
