House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has McFucking had it with GOP threats to remove him for failing to perform on a laundry list of demands from his party’s Freedom Caucus members.
“If you want to file the motion, file the fucking motion,” McCarthy told GOP colleagues Thursday, after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) criticized him earlier in the week – giving him a list of demands while threatening to bring a motion to vacate McCarthy’s chair.
Gaetz and other Republicans have slammed McCarthy for dragging his feet on a Biden impeachment inquiry, which the Speaker finally announced earlier in the week. Gaetz, however, says this isn’t enough.
McCarthy also faces another episode of shutdown theater, where Republicans pretend they won’t budge unless Democrats cut spending, or separate Ukraine funding from the stopgap bill, only to cave at the 11th hour in dramatic fashion.
“I showed frustration in here because I am frustrated,” McCarthy told reporters following the GOP meeting. “Frustrated with some people in the conference.”
Gaetz fired back after McCarthy’s outburst.
“Instead of emotionally cursing, maybe the Speaker should just keep his word from January on balanced budgets, term limits and single-subject spending bills,” he told The Hill.
That said, other GOP members are getting a little tired of Gaetz’s threats.
“We don’t try to air our laundry but again, you know, to that point, if somebody wants to file a motion to vacate, then file the f—ing motion to vacate, and that’s it,” said Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL). “And stop holding up everybody’s work, stop holding it, you know, over people’s head like it’s, you know, like, it’s this noose that you’re going to try to get somebody to walk into.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a close McCarthy ally, also called out Gaetz for holding up a Pentagon appropriations bill on Thursday over demands that McCarthy present them with top-line figures for all 12 appropriations bills that are on the table.
“If we’re going to be able to do our job we need every single member in our conference to show up and face everyone else and then we can work out our differences and fund the government,” she said.
Were you entertained ?????
Well, the lighting was good. Set decoration a bit somber, leaving much to the imagination. Script, predictable, repetitive, hardly persuasive. Direction lacking in intensity/commitment. Costume design, mid twentieth century, most ‘suit’able for the reading of said script. Sound engineering, audible, but without sheen, rendering words uttered vacuous, even boring. Overall production, farcical and fevered, deficient in focus or vision. Undertones of an insecure stance, revealing an awareness of the inevitable and forthcoming protests/uprisings regarding content of film and its on-going message promoting death and deception. Box-office destined to flop after failing to fool, uh, I mean reach a wide audience. A few of the faithful will purchase tickets and cheer on the performers transforming they themselves into hideous performers, just there for many to mock and mimic. As for Oscar… some say he died of the ‘covid’ shot.
