Here’s what you need to know: #BuildBackBetter will cut your taxes, reduce your household costs, and create new jobs for Floridians, and it is fully paid for with no new taxes for middle class families.
Kevin McCarthy has been ranting about #BuildBackBetter for over an hour. This is what he does when he has no agenda. Kevin and his conference haven’t presented a single alternate idea to create jobs and cut costs for working families. Democrats deliver and Kevin talks.
Trump Fluffs Kevin McCarthy for His Impotent Oratory Opposing Biden’s Build Back Better Bill
“Great job by Kevin McCarthy last night, setting a record by going over 8 hours of speaking on the House Floor in order to properly oppose Communism. We must never forget what the Democrats have done, at the highest level of evil. If Mitch McConnell had fought, you would have a different Republican President right now.”
.
Its always amazing how little mentally ill bubble boy Trump knows about real world politics yet he is the head of the know nothing GOP.
Part political performance, part stall tactic, Republican leader Kevin McCarthy unleashed a long, rambling and vitriolic speech overnight, seizing control of the House floor and pre-empting passage of President Joe Biden’s big domestic policy bill.
Sneering with disdain one minute, spilling sarcasm the next, McCarthy carried on for more than eight hours as Thursday night became Friday morning. He spewed a tirade of grievances that reached far beyond Biden’s legislative package, morphing into a monologue of complaints over what’s wrong with the country and the Democrats who control Washington.
Far from the “happy conservative” he claimed to be, the California Republican debuted a new role: angry heir to the Donald Trump legacy, picking up where the former president left off, mercilessly attacking his political opponents and their ideas with a ferocity that is rare even for the divided halls of Congress. The speech was a fact-checker’s bonanza.
The main problem with McCarthy is not that he would betray the United States of America in a heartbeat. (Hell, if his heart was beating on January 6th, he already betrayed the United States of America!) Nor is it that he is so extremely stupid that only the victims of his con artistry are dumber than he is. (Paging Traitor Trump and the victims of HIS con artistry and cult!) No, the main problem with McCarthy is that he is one of the biggest cowards among carbon-based lifeforms ANYWHERE on ANY planet on ANY solar system.
All Republicans care about these days is trolling — and Kevin McCarthy is hilariously bad at it
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy really thought he was going to own the liberals. Spoiler alert: The liberals were not owned.
McCarthy did not just talk himself hoarse over Build Back Better because of anything having to do with Build Back Better. Instead, all signs suggest his stunt was a pathetic attempt to get into the good graces of Donald Trump and the Trigger The Liberals Caucus, lest he lose his shot at being the Speaker when, as expected, Republicans gerrymander themselves into a House majority next year. And if there’s one thing that crowd cares about, it’s annoying Democrats. Kevin McCarthy’s marathon speech was him trying, and failing, to be a right-wing troll.
“Of course, democrats are divided, but we must understand that Joe Biden’s difficulties are due to republicans’ systemic obstruction”, stresses Anne Deysine. “Some republicans don’t dare vote for objectively good projects for the country because they are under pressure, under blackmail from Donald Trump, from McConnell in the Senate and from Kevin McCarthy in the House to prevent Biden from enacting his very ambitious program”, she details.
The clock is a reference to Dali’s Persistence of Memory. Time has no meaning and McCarthy’s performance was surreal. Lot’s more there, nice nod of the pen.

McCarthy’s speech went on for so long that when the dem vote came it got prime coverage.
No one remembers anything idiot liar McCarthy said.
McCarthy has tried hard to save creeps like MTG and she wants to dump him ASAP.
The republican party is like a kettle of snakes and they are all biting each other.

If you took the worst orator in the world
Gave him the worst speech in the world
And made him read it for the longest time in the world
That would be a lot like listening to Kevin McCarthy tonight.
Except, probably better.

We are hearing rumors that the front row of GOP hostages behind Kevin McCarthy are asking whether they can just be censured instead.

How can Kevin McCarthy lecture us about fiscal responsibility with a straight face?
The GOP Tax Scam added approximately two trillion dollars to the national debt.
#BuildBackBetter reduces the deficit and delivers #ForThePeople.
Sit down @GOPLeader.

One thing McCarthy and Castro have/had in common is they LOVE authortarianism, and DISPISE democracy.

And did he use any of this time at the dais to expound on the GOP’s vision? NO! Maybe because they don’t have one.
