I'm surprised that the font for "Speaker of the House" is in such small print.

Speaker McCarthy, who has thus far been very accessible to press, hasn’t answered questions on giving Jan 6 video to Tucker Carlson. After telling

& me ~230pm that he'd be right back to talk, he just left the Cap via an alt door, avoiding press outside his office

Zelensky tells
@wolfblitzer
that McCarthy should visit Ukraine to discuss funding needs.
McCarthy rejected the offer. “I don't have to go to Ukraine to understand where there's a blank check or not," the speaker told me

Russia is committing war crimes, including against children. McCarthy doesn’t know and doesn’t want to know.

Pretty sad that he followed Pelosi, one of the best.

The Dem caucus is likely letting this play out for now and not appear obstructionist, which could backfire. For now, I suspect they are letting the GOP show their inability to accomplish anything, as all they are capable of doing is showing off to their base. At some point, if part of their caucus feels they actually need to do something to ensure they can capture the general electorate and not just a fringe, they may try and start legislating, which will cause a shit show with the crazy caucus, and popcorn futures to rise.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
If the more moderate side of the GOP starts reaching out to the Democratic caucus to try and accomplish stuff, the Dems can get some things through while watching the right try to destroy their own caucus. There could be a win-win there.

I dunno, but he did such a bang up hatchet job with his access to "the Twitter files" that it makes me worried. Maybe McCarthy will give him exclusive access to something else to slant. Or maybe it's just a debrief on his testimony today. But I can't imagine there being anything good coming of it fo shure.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 5:12 pmWhat are you anticipating?

They’re making a movie using the footage, as the committee did. Only theirs will be filled with unbelievable bullshit.
Too little too late. I hope.

Taibbi's "Twitter files" turned him into somewhat of a joke. They fell flat.

With all the concern McCarthy has for crime in NYC, it’s a good thing crime is completely under control in his district.

With a crime rate of 48 per one thousand residents, Bakersfield has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property
crime here is one in 21.
Bakersfield is known in some circles as the armpit of California. S’truth.
