1. In other words kevin

There is nothing in the bill for the American People.

You are pathetic Kevin.

[TwilightZone]

3. No, in other words, he caved on the vast majority of the whackjob demands...

and he's trying to claim victory anyway so they don't revolt.

[BOSSHOG]

9. A display of leadership

Never, ever seen before in the history of the universe.

[sheshe2]

17. McCarthy press conference.

[BOSSHOG]

20. In his previous appearances

Before the microphones in the past three weeks his face has indicated blood pressure problems. I have that situation, but I’m not trying to destroy the country because ignorant people insist I do what they tell me to do. But. By God. He is the head motherfucker in charge of the whole House of Representatives. That’s kevs participation trophy. To our demise.

23. The blood pressure problem with him...

The blood pressure problem with him is that his balls are being squeezed by trump, madge and the rest of the maggots. He sold his weak and rotten soul to become the speaker.

11. +100

14. Exactly.. Kev's lips are moving.. he's

lying.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

15. And yet it is repeated here as if it is Biblical truth... nt

[Cha]

19. lol.. I noticed that. But

"Kev says.. "

[leftieNanner]

2. He has to say that

If he wants the lunatics to vote for it and not call for his ouster. Kevie likes his fancy office.

[keep_left]

13. Yep. McCarthy is extremely compromised by the unprecedented constraints on his position...

...as Speaker, However, my guess is that it was then much easier for Biden to make him an offer he couldn't refuse. After all, it was reported that it only takes a single vote from the crazies to oust him. Realistically, it's likely he's already done as Speaker.

4. I'm waiting to see how the extremist magats react to the "deal" ......

"it ain't over till it's over" .....

[RandySF]

5. He can SAY whatever he wants.

[RockRaven]

8. Yeah, I don't care what they say about it as long as they vote for it and avoid default.

What a Repug politician says about just about anything is never connected to reality anyway. It wouldn't change anything about the reality of the bill if he said he won, or he lost, or he tied.

[TwilightZone]

12. Agreed.

I was just thinking exactly the same thing. The default would be so catastrophic that I really don't care who tries to take credit as long as it's avoided.

6. He trying to save his ass and his job!

[Axelrods_Typewriter]

25. Kev's getting chewed up right now. The spit out could come at any moment.

[Takket]

7. just trying to convice his nutcase flock to vote for it

whatever he needs to say to end this, that's fine with me.

the nutcases won't be convinced so easily. we'll see what happens

[angrychair]

10. Dems are getting screwed

But even worse the poor and disenfranchised are getting screwed.

According to a person familiar with the agreement, the deal also would impose new work requirements for some recipients of government aid, including food stamps and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. It would put new limits on the amount of time that certain recipients of food stamps -- people under the age of 54, who do not have children -- could benefit from the program

[Nevilledog]

16. He's lying, but he's gotta try and convince the morons he was tough.

[mcar]

18. This is what I've been saying

They lie about everything. Why shouldn't Qevin say "we won. we owned the libs!!11" Most of the rubes will go with it.

[mvd]

21. Completely untrue

There are a lot of things the Un-freedom caucus didn’t get. I would have not negotiated and invoked the 14th Amendment. But whatever, seniors and others could not go without payments.

[gratuitous]

22. He'll claim victory by cutting spending somewhere by this amount

[no_hypocrisy]

24. I'm guessing that Joe Biden told McCarthy to tell the GOP that message

as cover.

Joe Biden is the kind of guy who will not bargain as an adversary.

[Whiskeytide]

26. I'm sure it will be fine. Kev's really good ...

… at whipping votes among the House rebbubas. Right?
