#NBCNews #KevinMcCarthy #Speaker
Smith needs to “help” those who have VIOLATED their Oath of Office and Aided and Abetted a Domestic Terrorist Attack on Our Constitution, Our Democracy and Our Capitol into some Secure Separate (but Equal) Jail Cells–and take their electronic/computer/phone devices away from them. ASAP! Not only Rump and his Cronies, but also the Insurrectionists in the House and Senate. That would give Democrats and the few remaining Re-puke-li-cans the room to get on with the BACKLOG of changes that need to be addressed for our country, and for the continued existence of democracy and hominids. It’s not like we have a whole lot of time left, and there is a shitload to be done. We have no time for EVIL CLOWNS.
This is the perfect time for Biden to institute as many executive decisions in all the red states while Congress is powerless. Biden should be taking advantage of this supposed Freedom caucus. This is the perfect time to help out the homeless and poor by implementing social programs from the executive branch. None of the freedom Caucasians can complain or take action because they can’t even decide on a leader and real Americans will be helped.
GOP IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD !
!!!
What’s the problem America?
TRUMP:
Made America Great Again
Drained the SWAMP
Built the WALL and made Mexico pay for it
Locked up Hillary Clinton
Am I wrong?!
Follow the money and legislation from 1980 – Present; the numbers speak for themselves…
Fact #1: U.S. government is broken, corrupt, and divided!
Fact #2: Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich broke it, corrupted it, and divided it!!
Government hasn’t been a problem for the Wealthy Elite, but the solution. Trickling down enough for you?
Newt started the Red/Blue divide and gridlock that enables the rich to steal 90% of the nation’s wealth.
Fact #3: The parasites talking about fixing America are the same ones that broke it in the first place!
Fact #4: A broken, corrupt, and divided government will never fix a broken, corrupt, and divided government.
Fact #5: “Fight the Power – Global Declaration of Independence” (YouTube video) is the fix!
Billionaire Corporations and Presidents pay $0.00 taxes; get trillions in bailout money; and people are mad about the border – immigrants can help take down all those HELP WANTED signs and fill all those jobs Americans don’t want!
YOU Silly Rabbit! Tricks are for KIDS!!
You just know Mr. Putin is cheering on Gaetz and Co.
@Lewis Duffy You just added things like ‘name calling’ and ‘conspiracy theories’ to your rant!! LOL…. Nope. I never saw that old hag compromise. I saw her stand up and tear up a speech among other things!!!! I still love this. I want the people’s REPRESENTATIVES to have the power. Not a president, senate leader, and speaker. All I can say is…ABOUT TIME!
@Lewis Duffy what did he give up to the demoncrats?
@Lewis Duffy how about you add some detail to how McCarthy’s concessions to become Speaker will prove to benefit Putin? Provide an initial line of thought that is worthy of a thoughtful challenge.
@Lewis Duffy It’s incredible that Democrats will call literally anyone under the sun an autocrat for opposing their policy or demanding accountability in government, when almost all of their policy expands the federal government at the expense of civil liberties and limits on government power would prevent autocracy.
“Compromise is the essence of great leadership in a democracy. Temper tantrums, sticking your nose in the ground, spreading unfounded conspiracy theories and name-calling are the opposite.”
You guys said Trump worked for Russia instantly after you lost to him and kept that lie going for four years despite having zero evidence of him doing so, and even labeled yourselves a militant Resistance to his administration that refused to do anything to help him run the country.
Everything you say and believe is totally disconnected from objective reality.
What a 🤡 show
I am loving watching DEMOCRACY IN ACTION!!!
The GOP is going to use McCarthy’s win later today to “rebrand” January 6th. Now, whenever January 6th is mentioned they will immediately say, “McCarthy’s day of victory!” or some such Fox “News” nonsense, as a way to deflect from the fact that they are mere sycophants to a would-be tyrannical ruler.
After reading the concessions he will be speaker in name only.
@Lewis Duffy if it takes an uneducated rock to fix a broken door vs a polished hammer then so be it. That’s how things work. Sometimes engineers can be funny, and apparently sometimes gun-toting waitresses can function outside of their lane. Individual members won’t be able to remove the speaker, but be allowed to bring a vote for removal. Something that elected members of a representative democracy should have the power to do vs having it stripped and consolidated to one individual. Same goes for allowing amendment votes on the floor and eliminating omnibus bills that only need one vote. For sure there will be bad-faith players who will have tantrums and attempt to stall the process. But they too will be under their constituents’ view. The trait of political ambition and selfishness over public good is not unique to just those holdouts. People who put their party over public good always feel that their side is clean.
“My child wouldn’t do that!” Yes they would, and they do. So let’s put some rules in place to prevent everyone’s kid from acting like an a$€.
@Lewis Duffy What an idiotic reply. You should be happy the guy gave you the time of day. I wouldn’t. Grow up.
@Ben Foster Ad hominem the hallmark of a simple mind. Physician heal thyself.
@2wheeled76 Nice word salad! You sure used a lot of words to say very little of relevance.
I know stuff is sometimes more bad and rough especially now but Amazons AMZ2023X was made for the people, believe it or not. If you didn’t know about this yet it would only take a small look to understand why so many people write this everywhere now. I am blessed that I got this into my life and don’t get me wrong, I don’t like this brand at all. But I understand why this will change the next generations to come and that’s what matters in the end.
Think about if you could have your own fate which is possible with Amazons AMZ2023X. What do you think happens after inflation? I am sure they will keep living cost high and even if the whole war finally gets to an end that still doesn’t fix anything for us. Truth is we are getting ripped of every day and there’s not much to do about it except for using the projects which actually HELP
These invites to AMZ2023X are all over the board because it gives some extra for those spreading it and for those buying. Of course then it’s better to use that specific invite when buying this asset. Who got something and how much? I’m still debating if I should because recent events made me think twice about what to do. Thoughts??
Your life is being decided by others, you are just a small stone in a giant mechanism looting and abusing you. The way out has a name: Amazons AMZ2023X. I know it sounds confusing why exactly that should help with the corrupt system we have but there is a reason and you can figure that out within minutes – IF you actually care
I am honest I think losing hope comes more and more to mind. I just want to share that Amazons AMZ2023X can stop the great depression we are facing, economy can be fixed. Even if not on a global scale we as individuals can fix it for ourselves since things like this exist and just wait for us to be utilized. I don’t want to wait any longer and be subject of bad decisions. Time for my own decision
You should keep your decisions to yourself.
Can’t trust Dollar, Euro, GBP or anything when the truth is that they will keep increasing living cost no matter what. There is always some kind of excuse, drama here there, political stuff, potential world war. My answer to all of this would be Amazons AMZ2023X
It will take some time to understand how Amazons AMZ2023X is having the most impact in these times. After all the downswingers and failures of this year it’s about time that someone integrates assets into a useful scenario and that’s exactly happening with this asset right now. It will be exciting to see how they develop this product in the future. What do you guys think? Would like to hear some opinions
Gotta spread some love for the balls of Amazons AMZ2023X to do what nobody else tried so far. Not that they are pretty much one of the biggest companies worldwide but of course with making such a launch they will risk a lot of reputation. But I am confident they know what to do so there’s that. We have officially reached the bottom I believe
Don’t mind any other comments as right now is the time to know what’s gold: Amazons AMZ2023X. They are groundbreaking in every aspect of the game and for years to come. You know that still so many people never invested into any asset? And for good reasons probably, too. That will change for sure now that even THEY are launching one of those.
So they said BTC is dead over 400 times and after all the drama these bstalkers are back but guess what. Amazons AMZ2023X shows the way and that we are far from dead and it won’t take much time until these talks shutdown quickly haha
My heart goes to the entire community for Amazons AMZ2023X building up something even my grandpa can understand. This is so smart by them to launch it to shatter the doubts and fears of the common folk which is not even correct to begin with. Everyone knows the state of inflation and recession now and the way out is already in progress. Now it’s just about catching the big fish
I rarely read comments ever but Amazons AMZ2023X deserves a spot. If after everything which has been said about that you won’t be convinced that’s totally on you. Decisions are free to make but if even the most obvious is a no-go then there’s no reason to ever believe in making any money with any investments at all. Sounds rough but plain truth
What people don’t understand about Amazons AMZ2023X is why literally everyone writes about this. To know why you should do 5 minutes of research and you’ll figure that they are all affiliate based invites. Right now it’s a good way to use these invites even if you don’t buy anything so that is why so many people write it in comments on social media.
The best comes unexpected and this is Amazons AMZ2023X which is completely changing the course of the game here. They are offering a product which makes sense and will be used in far more ways than just hoping for quick rich stuff. This is how it should be and how it will be in the future and it is a big leap forward to making this whole industry somewhat believable
“Sea Shell” Literally I Know Wonder What “The FBI” Literally & “The C.I.A” Literally Going To Make Out Of Today & Tomorrow as Spoken On previous posts Literally For “The Bill Of Rights” Literally Through Normandy Negotiatings On “WALNUT COVE” Literally state strategies Needless Negotiatings On “Home Rd” Literally Evidently Enforcement Through president positions On “Conway” Literally “Cotton” Literally Evidently Enforcement For “Dustin” Literally “Knollwood” Literally “Seville” Literally Evidently Enforcement Already Allowed For Due Process Literally On “Hwy311” Literally Evidently Enforcement On “No Trespassing On private property” Literally For “The Constitution” Literally “NATIONAL SECURITY” Literally Evidently Enforcement On “Humanity” Literally & “Human Rights” Literally For “DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO” Literally “Underwood” Literally Evidently Enforcement That Can’t be blocked Literally.
I was sure last year would end badly for me but I think Amazons AMZ2023X is spot on with what they do and how they do it. Can’t say for how long it’s gonna work and for sure it is overyhped right now but even for half a year or something it would be smart to ride the wave and then eventually jump away but the thing is why this is smart right now is because it’s so cheap, won’t ever find a better entry than now
It took forever but now that we got rid of bad actors like SBF, Amazons AMZ2023X is the right step! They decided to earn our trust back and most of all make it easy for casuals and normal people to understand. This one has real value, real vision and it’s already implementing most of these things just fine. Not long ago everyone claimed we are dead, well guess what. This phrase has been used thousands of times and yet it is only becoming stronger and stronger
This day Amazons AMZ2023X is clearly setting up the new milestone! The only real way to counter the current recession is by acting on yourself, making own decisions and making sure that you got enough no matter what happens. If you trust conventional ways you might end up being homeless or worse at one day, seriously.. This is why I believe in projects like this one which are clearly there to make a difference and it starts right now
McCarthy is going to give the psycho extremists everything they want just so he can be a SINO (Nobody).
Bro that guy needs some decaf. 📡👽🇺🇸 RUN!!!
I am thinking that the main stream Republicans are not going to rubber-stamp the whack-a-doodle Republican rule changes to which Kevin has caved. At least enough sane Republicans will vote with the Democrats. Remember, as with everything else, it will only take a handful.
There’s really not much sanity in this party anymore, to be perfectly accurate.
His name among his best friends is Cavein. McCarthy is & will be a great Failure, a Muppet a hard rubber thing which DJT will use to continue screwing Our Country
@Nicholas Jenkins I LOVE that this is happening. This is real Democracy in action. A few should never be in control. These ‘rebels’ are getting concessions that only help regular Americans in the long run. NO ONE should be able to pass a Trillion plus 4000-page omnibus bill ever again!!!!
McCarthy needs to get the Speakership and then tell the MAGANUT House members to go kick rocks!
Why is it so hard for Chuck Todd to keep his mouth shut? Why ask a question and then spend the next minute; minute 30 interrupting your guest. I can’t watch this…jeesh.
Chuck Todd ALWAYS thinks he’s the smartest in the room. I don’t like him.
@LotsOfFun He suffered from an abusive father and an alcoholic mother. That’s why.
@Lp78Ch how do you know that?
The false orange idol will be on his way to prison with the other 800+ dirtbags, losers, & traitors that attacked our country on January 6, 2021. Round ’em up and lock ’em up!!!
Gaetz is going to resign. Oh please!! Pretty please!! 🙏🙏🙏 And take Green and Boebert with you!!
AOC and Omar as well.
The Republican Caucus has 222 seats and the Democrats have 212, & to get to a majority is 218. That leaves with 5 votes that are a losing effort nonetheless. So McCarty should worry bout those 5 that should be flipped not 20 that’s the real math he should worry.
At least one thing the Republicans wont be gutless like the Democrats and bow down to Nancy and pass trillion dollar bills
The Democrats passed the bill because it’s good for the country, not because they were afraid of Pelosi.
The Republican Party already looks like a circus more than it usually does
Republican Party is greatest threat to humanity QAnon Seditionist Moscow Mitch Enabaler of Seditionist and criminal Republican Party Republicans. Are. Pro. Traitors Putin
Would someone PLEASE explain to these clowns that Kevin is MAGA, he bent both knees. Anything he gives away ultimately weakens the entire house. Dems playing softball allows the “free-dumb” cacuss more opportunities to mess with the later important work the house has to do.
Meanwhile, Biden is creating border security policy.
Meanwhile, Biden is in KY kicking off funding for the giant Ohio-KY bridge.
While all the far-right can do is bumble around and give each other concessions, just to vote for a Speaker.
LOL…Biden was FORCED to go to the border for the first time in 80 years. He does NOTHING except print money and go to Deleware or on vacation. There is NO BORDER SECURITY!! They are still swimming across the Rio Grande River!!
McCarthy is & Will remain a spineless Failure. DJT will use Cavein as a hard rubber thing to continue screwing Our Country.
McCarthy appeases the domestic terrorists, who plan to destroy the global economy, and global Democracies, according to their leader, Steve Bannon
Its unfathomable that people actually voted for these Republican clowns
Red tide
Hunter Biden laptop is a huge story that’s were the evidence is on the Big guy.
The laptop was in Giuliani’s possession, so it can’t be used as evidence in a court of law.
It could easily be tampered with, so they’ve got nothing.
Nobody wants McCarthy in the seat like Democrats and Ukraine.
Putin definitely prefers McCarthy.
It’s actually a good thing to fight the Rino’s that have been screwing the taxpayers for decades.
Yuk yuk yuk ! Clown show. 🎶🎶 some people say he’s handy, he’s Kevin the rodeo clown 🎶🎶
Clowns insurrectionist clowns!!!!
What the freedom caucas want is cover from the Special Council, that’s what’s being negotiated.
After Jack Smith starts handing out indictments, the Congress may be back in Democrat’s hands.
Sad that you would have to be forced to vote till you turned blue and just get it over with rather than having multiple options.
He’s getting the votes because everyone is tired and wants it over with.
Chuck Todd continues to show contempt for the Republican Party due to his abusive father and alcoholic mother.
Please control the evil.
Did they get their free cars yet?
The Freedom Caucus is against freedom. Why are they called the Freedom Caucus?
He must give all to koo koos
He is Koo Koo.
That fringe is set 100% on blowing up the house. Don’t listen to the words they are set on simply causing pain and setting fire to everything. What will we look like on the other side.
Just a thought to you 200 Congress men and women on the Republican side who backed up Kevin McCarthy. The next two years are on your hands. You did this you could’ve changed things.
3 days for Republicans to elect a speaker of the house. Next two years will be a total hault by GOP.
There is a war going on… Putin Caucus is about to cut DEFENSE spending… Disaster…
Dems should be very afraid now
For the congressmen offering support, didn’t you see McCarthy NOT show up to honor Capital Police today?? Do NOT support him
Take care of your own neighbors.
Yes McCarthy sold the American people out for a wooden hammer. Now the agents of chaos will have at our economy, our social security, our medicare. They of course will of course get nowhere. They will hold our economy hostage and probably and potentially cause this nation of default.
In the long run, it’s not going to make any difference with a Democrat senate and Whitehouse. What a useless fight and waste of time. If they try and shut down government, which is the only power they have, they’ll be wiped out in 2024. Bring it on.
He making too many deals to get votes.
My gosh. The only people I have come across who get it. Bravo gentlemen. The Freedom Caucus move is historic. Both sides of the aisle should thank these brave people.
Probably about the same amount AOC got out of the old bag Pelosi
Current Republican Party is now control by Conservative, Extremist, and White Nationalist.
Each with their own agenda and avarice that American people will suffer for sure.
Republican party cannot hold power of American people.
freedom caucus is showing the american public how important 1 persons vote can be and not just the president. your representatives matter.
NBC lies
7min is very short for this subject.
I couldn’t be happier, knowing the concessions he made toward the amazing Freedom Caucus!

Poor Republicans who can actually think for themselves. Why not join the Democratic zombies.
What many media generously forget to mention: the “renegade minority of Republicans” wanted, primarily, to achieve with their move that the deputies are given at least two hours to look through documents before they are supposed to decide on bills.
A similar clause would certainly also have made sense in our Bundestag vote on the “Epidemische Lage von nationaler Tragweite (epidemic situation of national importance)” before the introduction of the recent pandemic religion.
It’s bad enough he sold his entire body for this. Even worse that he sold all his children’s soul’s for this position. Legend has it when he dies he gets defaulted to the bend over position because of a deal.
Looking forward very excitedly to seeing Biden and his family being fully and completely investigated and prosecuted by laws….
Freedumb Caucus wants to cut your social security. Plain and simple, yet dumbarse Republicans will always vote against their own interests, and vote these clowns into office. They don’t want to raise the debt ceiling, and so one of their demands is to cut social security before they will. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, you stupids!
He “Sold His Soul” to win the “Speaker of The House”.
The saga of the National Debt is NOT about “spending more money” it’s paying off a Credit Card for money they’ve already spent.
It is always fun to listen to folks talk that are true experts. These political insider geeks know their stuff…thanks for sharing!
The we hate freedom caucus should be called the white supremacy caucus
