1/#KevinMcCarthy #PutinsPayrollGOP “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump," McCarthy quipped, a conversation quickly nipped in the bud by House Speaker Paul Ryan. "No leaks," he immediately interjected. "This is how we know we're a real family here."
2/ GOP leadership believed DJT & #Rohrabacher on #PutinPayroll—Next, DJT secures GOP nomination, as Russia interfering in pres election for DJT—and as nation's Intel agencies had info & presented it to congressional leadership, Senate Majority Leader MITCH MCCONNELL COVERED IT UP
3/ The CIA told McConnell that//Putin is overseeing an operation to disrupt 2016 election—and to help Trump—and here is what McConnell basically said, in the words of Washington Post reporter Greg Miller, who initially broke this story: "'McConnell is basically telling [the CIA]:

BREAKING: A List Of Concessions The #GOP21 Got To Vote For #KevinMcCarthy As Speaker.

1) It will only take a single congressperson, acting in what is known as a Jeffersonian Motion, to move to remove the Speaker if he or she goes back on their word or policy agenda. 1/5
2) A “Church” style committee will be convened to look into the weaponization of the @FBI and other government organizations (presumably the @CIA, the subject of the original Church Committee) against the American people. 2/5
3) Term limits will be put up for a vote.

4) Bills presented to Congress will be single subject, not omnibus with all the attendant earmarks, and there will be a 72-hour minimum period to read them. 3/5

The coup that Trump unleashed on the US has turned inward. Ironically the “anarchists” that Trump accused those of us opposing him of being are on display in the GOP circus around #KevinMcCarthy. And by anarchism he did not mean the philosophy but chaos 👇🏽 h/t @rerutled
Lawmakers in the most powerful country in the world are effectively on pause:

This is the behaviour of a “failed” state. #KevinMcCarthy
Remember that the Republicans won a majority in the House if Representatives in elections held just months after the Supreme Court overturned #RoeVsWade—a goal they had been working on for 50yrs.

That they won is itself a disgrace.

1/ This fight over @GOPLeader isn't really about McCarthy (though for some of the 20 it is). What this is about is the pending #debt ceiling fight likely in February. Here's what's going on (a thread)...
@GOPLeader 2/ 'Twas the night before Xmas (not exactly but close enough) & all thru the night, lobbyists were skulking the decorated hall of Congress, looking for handouts for their special interests. Everyone on Capitol Hill wanted to go home for the holidays so, w/o much debate,
@GOPLeader 3/ A group of elected officials pushed through a $1.7 Trillion spending bill w/o debate or even so much of a "Dear Colleague" letter. It was imperious. What upset some on the Hill the most was that the spending bill was chock full of goodies for Left-wing special interests.

Midi à #WashingtonDC figurez vous que #KevinMcCarthy est à nouveau candidat au poste de #speaker pour un…7e vote.
Le député africain-républicain John James (Michigan) rappelle qu’une élection aussi tourmentée n’a eu lieu qu’en 1855/56 au sujet de l’abolition de l’esclavage qu’il contraste avec les peccadilles actuelles. Il soutient #Kevin « pour mener la nation dans le bon sens »

The #KevinMcCarthy hashtag is currently being astroturfed, @elonmusk

What is funny is that liberals are pretending that it makes a difference whether the left asscheek or right asscheek of the same bourgeois asshole makes any difference for the working class. It doesn't.
Both parties are secure in that they will have a representative of finance capital serving as the Speaker. It doesn't matter whether it's McCarthy or someone else, as long as they are beholden to finance capital, the working class will not be represented.
In the same way that cringe Republicans cry out like Reddit NPCs about Nanci Pelosi, liberals too are crying out about a different asscheek.

Stories like these do make for good clicks and ad revenue though so I'm sure every MSM outlet will run this non-stop.

GM from Capitol Hill where it's potentially January 3 Part 2. @GOPLeader has arrived and was instantly swarmed by a sea of journalists.
House Republicans delivered two more stunning defeats to the Bakersfield Republican in the chamber’s fourth, fifth and sixth votes today.
Instead of gaining ground, #KevinMcCarthy fell further from his goal: His vote total declined with Donalds switching votes (to himself) and Rep. Victoria Spartz voting present.

Chi ama la politica non può non appassionarsi a quanto sta avvenendo negli #USA per l'elezione del nuovo #speaker della Camera.
Kevin #McCarthy, ex leader di minoranza per il Partito Repubblicano, candidato principale alla guida della maggioranza dopo le #Midterm, sta

giocando la partita della vita. E per ora la sta perdendo.
Rapido quadro della situazione: la maggioranza del Gop alla Camera è risicata: 222 seggi contro i 212 dei Democratici. Per diventare speaker, ovvero presidente della Camera, McCarthy ha bisogno di 218 voti. Questo

significa che può perdere per strada solo 4 voti. C'è un problema: una frangia di deputati Repubblicani radicali (non che McCarthy sia un "moderato", è pur sempre vicinissimo a Donald #Trump) composta da Andy #Biggs (Arizona), Matt #Gaetz (Florida), Bob #Good (Virginia), Matt

It gives me Hope that our USA is still viable, and is actually WORTH Saving!

To paraphrase one of the heroes defending the #USCapitol:
That day, We were in a War. Each of us was fighting an individual battle, in that war. Different locations, different perspectives, different wounds & traumas. But we were in a real war for our democracy!

The individual trauma of everyone participating in this @January6thCmte room was evident and moving.😢

With all due respect, why hasn't #Congress ensured that #DonaldTrump can never again hold elected office in the United States? This is something @TheDemocrats *MUST* ensure #ASAP, @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @RepAdamSchiff @tedlieu @SenWarren @SenSanders.

#GOP senators who voted to #ConvictTrump are being censured by their party. I hope the censure comes in writing, so they can frame it & hang it up in their offices, display it during their re-election campaigns! #BadgeOfCourage! TY senators for the strength of your #convictions!
Those senators who #BrokeRank & voted #CountryOverParty will be respected by all even by #Liberals. At least we know they aren't #Nazi #Traitors so won't think #ItsTheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt if they get elected. They'll be the new face of the rational #GOP
politico.com/news/2021/02/1…
And in the #House, those #Congressmen #BrokeRank with the #MAGANaziParty will emerge as #PartyLeaders, having earned a measure of respect from all Americans, even those who are ideologically opposed. We all know we need an opposition party we just want a rational, principled one!

.@GerryConnolly “Today, as one of their last acts in the majority, our Republicans are holding their latest partisan hearing to air unsubstantiated allegations against the Clinton Foundation.”
“So, let’s look at these latest allegations. On our next panel two private individuals, both Republicans will explain how they submitted a complaint to the IRS and FBI against the #Clinton Foundation.”
“They have already conceded that they are not whistle blowers. Instead, they are would-be plaintiffs in a lawsuit looking to make money.”
