Democrats Join McCarthy In Celebrating Budget Stopgap—And Taunting MAGA Wing
Forbes ^ | 9/30/2023 | Brian Bushard

Posted on 09/30/2023 3:57:42 PM PDT by Javeth

In a post on X, progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called the bill a “win-win” for allowing federal employees to continue to receive paychecks, and for riling far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who she says “threw a tantrum.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) also celebrated the vote, saying “all extreme right-wing policies have been removed” from it, arguing in a post that “MAGA Republicans have surrendered.”

Cowardly Kevin Mccarthy's latest surrender on the most critical policies at the most critical time for Americans is so craven and embarrassing that the headline says it all--he's having a ball celebrating with Demonrats and attacking MAGA and actual conservatives in the US, reveling in his latest betrayal of America for the cheap labor lobby and the horrible suffering this fecklessness is causing for American towns and communities. Not one single dollar for border security at a time when the US is literally being invaded by gangs, criminals, drug cartels and a mountain of fentanyl and meth swarming into even small towns and schools in the heartland. Not Kevin's concern, he's too happy partying with AOC and Hakeem as he laughs in the faces of conservatives and the American people.

Thousands of invaders every single day, a flood of deadly drugs and disease already crushing our communities, and Kevin doesn't even try to negotiate even a tiny demand with the Demonrats. No cuts to the new Lois Lerner and harassing tax officials specifically appointed to go after us and our small businesses in the heartland, to make sure that we pay for our own replacement right in the midst of this invasion, or to anything else for the matter. In short virtually nothing for the American people, the conservatives or the Constitution. Mccarthy was holding the knife the whole time, waiting until the last second to un-sheath it and back-stab us yet again.

And now Kevin goes not only whining and crying about how the meanie Democrats bullied and made him do it, but actively celebrating with them about how he gutted and undermined American conservatism and the Constitution yet again. That's because deep down Kevin doesn't want border security either. He, Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley, Grahamnesty and other members of the RINO traitor division are perfectly happy with their sweet bribes from the Chamber of Commerce, Gates and Soros, Bloomberg, Koch, Zuckerberg and other corrupt members of the cheap labor lobby. All they need to do is betray their country, betray their party, betray conservatives and the Constitution itself and they don't hesitate a second to do that, especially Cowardly Kevin. We've been in touch with our family back in our hometowns and even in the once safest sleepy towns in Florida, South Carolina and Texas, the neighborhoods are being completely overrun by the invasion and even the grocery stores and schools getting flooded with poison. We need border security now, and unless the Senate actually shows a bit of strength and filibusters this filthy surrender and demands real border security, we'll have at minimum another month of full-on invasion before we have another crack at the budget, that will only grow larger with every single week.

The most ironic part is when we visit or talk to our kids and family members who've moved out to parts of Europe or in the conservative rural parts of Brazil, even there the borders are ruthlessly enforced because they have real conservative parties that rain down fire if the main ones surrender and fail. Even in France they're closing down more mosques and deport the Muslims and other invaders every day with what's essentially an active military operation. Italy is moving to actively mine and put spiked barriers in the Mediterranean, even the once milquetoast countries have been forced to kick out the Syrians, Afghans and economic migrants posing as refugees. Why? Because there are real nationalist and traditionalist conservative parties that gut the mainstream fools (and expose their bribes) if they fail in their most basic duties. And if a so called conservative party starts accepting bribes from the cheap labor lobby, they get outed and sent to a dark hole, serve out a lengthy sentence.

That's why they look on dismay every time get news from us back home, every time Mccarthy and fellow "leaders" of the party claim they're going to defend the border and stand up for their interests, they turn around and back-stab us over and over again, first the debt ceiling and now on the budget. (It's the reason so many of our young family members and young US conservatives are leaving the US in the first place, it's hard to have any hope in a conservative resurgence when even the "conservative" party leaders are so clearly bought-and-sold and slaves to cheap labor)

This has to end here, Cowardly Kevin has shown his true colors and it's time to move beyond "considering" his removal and take active steps to do it. It's what the true conservatives fought so hard for at the start of this Congress session, so it's time to stop "considering" and start moving on it. He didn't even make a pretence of fighting for border security in his "negotiations" ie. surrender meetings, with Jeffries and the Demonrats. He didn't even mention it, he just gave right in.

And the process has to start now. The only tiny consolation with Mccarthy's craven surrender is the continuing resolution wouldn't even provide the budget for more than a month, so at worst we'll have another fight on this by late October, a horrible coming month with even more mass immigration invasions, more cartel and gang members pouring in and more suffering for our already hard hit towns and communities. But we can't go into those negotiations with Cowardly Kevin as our "leader" or he'll betray us yet again, he'll never, ever give up his sweet bribes and pay-offs from the cheap labor lobby. He needs to go.

If the Senate shows a spine it'll even filibuster this disgusting surrender before the bill even goes through, and force Mccarthy to stand up and fight for border security and other priorities without collecting the bribes he's surely been guaranteed today and tomorrow for his latest back-stabbing. But one thing's for certain, Cowardly Kevin needs to go.

Debt Clock

The utter insanity continues. Only a few weeks ago, the debt was about $200 billion less. This is a race into insolvency.

Perhaps we get the government (or lack of it) that we deserve for neglecting to take an active role in it.
Does anyone still think our current politics will ve resolved by who is most gaslighting persuasive on “Meet Depressed” or “This Week with Undercover Democrat Activist George Stephanopoulis”?
Really.

Nope. As usual the key board warriors of Conservative Inc want to cry because they did not get what they wanted

Politics is not a game of absolutes. Some times you fight a battle knowing your going to lose to send a message to voters.

That is what this was. Instead of having a rubber stamped Biden agenda past again, a battle was waged and victories won to get people to have to go on record voting for Ukraine funding instead of hiding it in the DOD bill.

It about time someone in the GOP stood up and fought against this decade old corrupt practice of hiding unpopular items in the DOD bill.

Instead of throwing a temper tranurm, Conservative inc has got to, finally, learn the lesson the Democrats have know for decades. Some time you fight, knowing your going to lose, to build for future victories.

This is the 1st battle in what is going to need to be a very long war. As usual, the surrender monkeys in Conservative Inc are waving the white flag all ready

Yeah Mccarthy and Paul Ryan are peas in the same treasonous RINO pod. They’re both fully bought-and-sold by the cheap labor lobby. No more. The Senate needs to filibuster this betrayal and the House needs to start the process to remove Mccarthy, immediately. No more excuses for inaction. If this resolution isn’t filibustered, we have at best one more month to prepare to fight against for border security and our other priorities. If the GOP can’t even muster up the courage and steps to remove an obvious sellout and back-stabber like Kevin who’s actively laughing at us, doing nothing as we move into insolvency, active blocking even mild steps to defend the border when there’s an active invasion going on, then it doesn’t deserve the vote of a single conservative in the next elections. It’s worse than useless. Kevin needs to go.

I actually owe Paul Ryan 1 favor.

He opened my eyes, with no questions and certainty that the Republican Party was deeply fractured. With conservatives and democrat clone neo-cons making it up.

The last election:
Dems stole that election. and the republicans let them take over the government. No fight.. just gave in. The media has been selling the lies to the public, which do not know much.. but are indoctrinated.
Today, we are at a breaking point for saving America. The dems are running the government and we are in a world of hurt...too much corruption .. everywhere.

Castro came to town riding in a convertible, after defeating batista.. the crowds cheered.. in a few days, castro made an announcement on TV telling the people he was a communist. He confiscated all guns.. and took ownership of all private property. There was no one in his way to stop him. Many fled to Florida.. doctors, lawyers, who lost everything to castro. Some swam and some had a boat.. some drowned trying to get to freedom.

This government that has taken over in washington... the media doing all they can also.. are not for liberty.. not for freedom. not for the constitution. Trump is standing in the way, one man.. in the way.
This coming week, they are going to try to bankrupt Trump... take all he has.. and end the man standing in the way. All you folks who are with them... think again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the sake of your children.. grandchildren.. your homes.. your freedoms... look at where we are and for God’s sake get away from the media and pray for the life of this nation and the world... if you are not serious about this... just know THEY ARE!!!!!
It doesn’t matter if you like Trump or not... he is the only thing keeping your home and freedom for you..

The GOP is at this point just a dead party walking. I don’t believe there are any more political solutions; however, having said that, metaphorically, the GOP needs to be savagely burned to the ground in a raging white hot all consuming fire.

What you don’t seem to realize, is we don’t have time any more for symbolic victories or “fighting another day”. The United States is being actively invaded, RIGHT NOW. Every single day. Our family members and old friends in the very towns we grew up with are being threatened by criminals and an ocean of fentanyl and deadly drugs that are threatening their kids and schools, and invading their very homes. Conservative communities especially are being targeted all the while Biden’s update on Lois Lerner’s tax collector goons are sent to shake us down and make us pay for own active replacement by the invasion.

The Bushes both used these lines about “sending a message to voters” and “fighting another day”, and they accomplished nothing at all in 12 years of office to secure the border or protect American communities. Nothing. They even expanded mass immigration and pushed for amnesty themselves. Kevin held the strong position in both the debt ceiling negotiations and here on the budget, and he surrendered like a coward both times. What “message” do you think this sends? The article already tells us—Kevin is not only a sellout, he’s an active traitor to conservative causes and is willing to do everything he can to back-stab us on the most critical issues at a critical time, even celebrating with Open Borders Democrats.

The “message” is that the Republican Party’s leaders have been bought-and-sold by the cheap labor lobby and can’t be trusted to do the most basic task of any country, defend our borders, and with this kind of “leadership” the party doesn’t deserve the votes of a single conservative. There’s no “fighting another day” here because urgent steps are needed now, RIGHT NOW. It’s already too late for many communities in the heartland that have been overrun, and this is even before the wave of anchor babies that will bring in even more invaders through both legal and illegal routes. The first step in confronting this is remove the obvious RINO traitors in our own midst, the rules changes at the start of this session made this possible and it’s time for the House to take action.

He’d better be. Gaetz fought hard but the most important fight now is make sure Kevin pays for his betrayal, and starts the process to get in a new speaker.
