How did we get such a strange House chaplain.

**********

If you ever want to get bored, tune into those CSPAN channels sometime.

People that look like the chaplain are all over DC.

She fits right in.

You’ve discovered something I realized quite some time ago. They all have dirt on each other and blackmail one another with it. When somebody goes off the Derp State plantation, they pull the trigger. The corruption is an epidemic and endemic.

I just watched Sean Hannity try to brow beat Lauren Boebert into voting for McCarthy then denigrate her with Trey Howdy afterwards. I pegged him for a sellout years ago but now he’s just a POS deep state tool.

“...They are all subject to some kind of blackmail because their sexual perversion probably....”


At one time in the past, what you write was true. But newly-elected George Santos declared that he lied about everything except for his being gay. In today’s world it is now apparently a point of pride and a resume enhancement.

It is beginning to become obvious that a BUNCH of congressmen AND women are homosexuals. THAT is why almost nothing which requires a proper value system gets done or passed. They are all subject to some kind of blackmail because their sexual perversion probably exceeds the initial stage and they are all involved. This is sickening.

**********

How can a preferred grievance group be blackmailed?
They aren’t in the closet anymore.
Isn’t it celebrated as some kind of virtue movement today?

After the 1st impeachment farce of Trump, I stopped watching television.
Another reason was because every time I walked by some program my wife was watching, some fag or fag like weirdo was yakking away.

Ask former Rep. Renee Ellmers how hard Kevin worked and how effective he was. A man who can’t obey sacred marriage vows isn’t to be trusted to take care of the people’s business when he has no moral integrity.

I stopped watching or listening to Sean Hannity years ago. Turning out to be the right decision.

Actually, hardly anybody nowadays would care if any of them were homosexuals. The big problem would be if they had a predilection for underage folks . . . now THAT could be held over their heads, and even in this day and age, could cause a lot of damage, except amongst the purple-haired freaks in our education establishment.

McCarthy needs to be answer one question on the House floor tomorrow before the voting continues, did he know about McConnel’s deal with Schumer before it was voted on, and if so when.

*********

Why does it matter?

McCarthy lost 9 Republican on a bill that passed 225-201-1. If the malcontents were loyal the vote is 216-210-1.

Those Republicans were many of the usual suspects:

1)Upton of Michigan(Voted to impeach Trump in the 2nd impeachment farce)

2)Cheney of Wyoming(Voted to impeach Trump in the 2nd impeachment farce, member of the Jan 6 kangaroo committee)

3)Kinzinger of Illinois(Voted to impeach Trump in the 2nd impeachment farce, member of the Jan 6 kangaroo committee)

4)Davis of Illinois

5)Jacobs of New York

6)Katko of New York(Voted to impeach Trump in the 2nd impeachment farce)

7)Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania

8)Herrera-Butler of Washington(Voted to impeach Trump in the 2nd impeachment farce)

9) Womack of Arkansas

Deja WHAT?!

But with a significant bloc of conservatives, known as the House Freedom Caucus, throwing their support behind Florida Rep. Dan Webster, and with the last-minute candidacy of Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, McCarthy withdrew rather than face a possibly fractious vote.

I’ve never joined in with the Sean Hannity ‘hate’ here; but tonight I’ve wondered if that’s just because I haven’t watched him enough.

He was horrible to Boebert. I applaud her for doing her best to keep talking and trying to get her points out, despite his constant interruptions. You either have someone on your show because you want to actually hear them, or you don’t.

I appreciate the people who have said that this is how our Republic works - it’s messy, and its design makes it that way. I have no problem with the messiness; but I do want to see things get done, too. I’m not up for two months of this (like the 1800s). Folks on the Hill have to get it together.

> Why does it matter?

Fair question.

IMHO it does matter because if McCarthy did know, he should have go on talk shows, TV, wherever to attempt to blow up the McConnell's deal.

Since McCarthy was the minority leader at the time I don't understand how he could not know, and therefore he was either directly involved in undermining the incoming House by colluding with the Democrats and Senate Minority Leader McConnell, or he is utterly incompetent.

Either way this would mean McCarthy should not be allowed to become Speaker.
