“Debt Ceiling Tests Speaker McCarthy as He Rides Breezily Through High-Wire Act of His Career”
WASHINGTON (AP) — One morning during the debt ceiling crisis, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy climbed onto his mountain bike and took a ride along the National Mall, marveling at the monuments.
The next day he arrived for negotiations at the Capitol carting in tortilla chips and queso for the beleaguered reporters waiting outside his office during the 24/7 talks.
Throughout the weeks of grueling negotiations McCarthy has remained relentlessly optimistic, breezing through the anxiety-filled hours, seemingly certain of the outcome.
Underestimated from the start, he is nothing if not relentless. To become speaker, McCarthy endured 14 failed votes before finally securing the gavel on the 15th try, only after he had tired his colleagues out and given hard-right conservatives all sorts of promises and concessions.
McCarthy, with his laid-back California vibe, was never Washington’s bet to become speaker, having almost missed seizing the gavel in a history-making spectacle at the start of this year.
But the 58-year-old is now leading House Republicans in the high-wire act of his career: Having negotiated a deal with Democratic President Joe Biden over the weekend to raise the nation's debt limit…

WOW! What a reversal!
Media-Darling
If this deal goes through, McCarthy is trash to me. This gives the Rats everything and the people a tiny piece of stale bubble gum.
“Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
100 years ago, our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.”
Charlie Reese (Feb. 1984)
Wise Words
.
Looks like the New Power Photo is riding a bike in an upright style. A style set by the packaging of a man with Dementia.
.
Kevin is a WEF sellout. He should be kicked out of congress.
.
The Media know the huge issue was not having an Debt Limit until after he’s re-elected.
That is Biden’s sweet spot, Promise everything to everyone - and not be encumbered by Reality.
He’s going to Cure Cancer, eliminate School Testing, and banish Tuition for the middle class. I’m going to take those profits from Banks, my neighbors, those Credit Card companies that have been supporting me for 40 years..
.
That’s already been chewed
Probably language buried in there that they won’t prosecute Hunter or Joe.
Trump endorsed McCarthy. So this must be terrific.
.
If Trump had proposed expanding and Flooding an Agency with Money that was Investigating him, every member of the Media would be calling it a Payoff.
No one on TV has pointed out that simple fact.
Kevin is a faggot and he has the backing of all the faggots in congress.
Kevin is a bundle of twigs and sticks?
When the media and the dimocrats are smiling, the fix is in.
McCarthy sold the American Taxpayer out, 87000 armed IRS agents will have a free reign over the American Banking System and the Taxpayer with fire arms for backup. They will know every intimate detail about you other than taxes. Tax monitoring is a ruse, they want to control you, and will. Thanks Marxist Dems.
AMEN!
