McCarthy: The Paper Tiger Is Likely Going Down.

McCarthy said he would put America first, and that's what he did. The can got kicked down the road again for at least 45 days, thanks to Democratic votes. Ninety Republicans voted against it. McCarthy earlier had suffered a defeat as his appropriations bill meant primarily to deal with border issues was voted down by Democrats along with twenty-one Republicans.

And how did Mr. Spine respond? None of those twenty-one will be kicked out of the HRC caucus. No kidding. McCarthy reminds me of a bagpipe player. No matter what he does, the bag gets squeezed tighter and tighter. Next up, a motion to vacate the speakership, courtesy of Gaetz and company. If all Democrats and five Republicans vote aye, then McCarthy is gone. Do I think the MTV is coming? I sure do, and I expect McCarthy may go down. They say the votes aren't there to remove him. I don't believe that.

For my part, I'm pretty much with Burchett: why hasn't Congress passed a budget for thirty years? Sure, budget cuts are absolutely necessary. They should be done across the board with no sacred cows: no exemption for DOD, the border or anything else. But Congress will never do that. 

As for Ukraine funding: dissidents are playing into Putin's hands, the guy who has Trump in his pocket. Ask yourselves why? To ask the question is to answer it. Blackmail. Just look at Trump's body language whenever he was in the room with TheHeadDemonSeedTM...

Wake up Republicans! Here are your only two choices: you can keep funding Ukraine now, or stop and then get to fight Putin later. Because as sure as I'm breathing, if Ukraine doesn't stop Russia, the United States inevitably will have to. It's either a war via proxy, or WWIII in the end, with all the Western democracies in. So, pick your poison. Remember that isolationists are absolute and naive fools on their best day. That's how Pearl Harbour got attacked, thanks to isolationism in America.
