That should keep the left engaged and voting.", ">\n\nTrump is the de facto king of America. 👑", ">\n\nThe fact trump is walking the streets a free man is disgusting", ">\n\nOn the second anniversary of Trump’s attempt at an insurrection we find the democrats praying on the capitol steps. The republicans were engaging in bribery to get one of their “leaders” elected as speaker of the House, another gained election through lies and deception, some of them may have participated in the conspiracy around the insurrection, and the majority of them offered fealty to a former president who may face criminal charges for that insurrection, improper handling of classified documents, and other actions. The difference is like night and day, guess which one craves the darkness.", ">\n\nAlways ex gop", ">\n\nMcCarthy is despicable.", ">\n\nWhy? They support what Trump did. Of course they're thanking him.", ">\n\nHe’s a poor facsimile of a man who has been publicly castrated by his own party members.", ">\n\nFor being the party of the “tough guy”, these guys are all cowards.", ">\n\nThat was the most deliberate thumbing your nose at America that I can imagine someone in his position doing. I hope he hangs himself with the compromises he made to get the job. Someone will probably vote to impeach his ass the first week, and it won't be a democrat, it'll be one of the Republican hold outs.", ">\n\nCheeto dust all over his mouth", ">\n\nThere isn’t a more self serving sickening bunch of people on earth. McCarthy fits that group perfectly", ">\n\nFuck this POS and all the Republican legislators. They're anti-American trash. If you don't work for all the people, fuck off. I'm so sick of the right keeping us in the past and holding up progress. Buncha assholes along with anyone who supports them, including my own parents unfortunately.", ">\n\nMcCarthy couldn’t gape that bussy any wider for Trump", ">\n\nThe whole election denial gang of Gaetz, Bobert, Greene and other trump sycophants complicit in the coup attempt, dragging the House of Representatives around by the nose with so few members was infuriating and sickening.", ">\n\nThe GOP are so cult like.", ">\n\nI'm so tired of hearing from these ex-GOP idiots. We get it, you have morals now. Where were you when this shit was going down 5-10 years ago? Getting your bag.", ">\n\nPeople are taking too much encouragement by GOP's seeming chaos - as if this somehow proves they are powerless to fuck up the government.\nBelieve me, these people are not harmless clowns, they are dangerous clowns. I imagine the only way Biden will get somethings done will be executive orders. but the House sill holds government spending hostage and there is not a lot that can be done about it.", ">\n\nwhite supremacy in this country runs deep", ">\n\nLick spittle boot licker licks boot. Go figure", ">\n\nIs it a coincidence that the media was swamped with coverage of the drama playing on in the House during the anniversary of the Jan 6th riots? A lot has surfaced thanks to the Jan6 committee. Even if not intentional you have to be sure the GOP is happy to be dodging it. Too busy voting, no time for interviews. Honestly I don't have cable news but not much Jan 6 coverage in the print media", ">\n\nSpeaker of the Ass Kissers", ">\n\nMcCarthy is pathetic and about to unleash havoc on the country and half of Americans are responsible for the hardships they will endure under his stupidity and narcissism. Sad day for America but kind of karmic too.", ">\n\nThis is, without a doubt, the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. A room full of rich people cheering on their new masthead. It gives me shivers. This footage has captured horrific fascism, and half of my ugly country is celebrating it, despite the fact that they will all die by fascists' hands. I love you all and I really hope we somehow survive.", ">\n\nPretty much everything about this GOP is disgusting!", ">\n\nThis spineless bootlicker is already working with the traitors in Congress to advance a pro Russian agenda.", ">\n\nThe audience at Trump rallies often chant 'Pu-tin, Pu-tun, Pu-tin'. On Social Media I've seen them long for both Trump and Putin to rule America together - and they want them to take over Canada.", ">\n\nWhich will last longer, McCarthy or the lettuce???", ">\n\nThe man, obviously, has no pride. The ultimate Republican “Cuck”." ]
