In the days after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol building, the two top Republicans in Congress, Rep. Kevin McCarthy and Sen. Mitch McConnell, told associates they believed President Donald Trump was responsible for inciting the deadly riot and vowed to drive him from politics.McCarthy went so far as to say he would push Trump to resign immediately: “I’ve had it with this guy,” he told a group of Republican leaders, according to an audio recording of the conversation obtained by The New York Times.But within weeks both men backed off an all-out fight with Trump because they feared retribution from him and his political movement.

Oh wait, they figured out they don't own the party? That's the party membership's opinions matter? Weird... I thought we were all nothing but wallets to empty to keep the RINOs around to make sure the country fell apart in a slow controlled way instead of fast like the left wants. Surprise! You jerks don't own anything.

Odd. Site that came up was Boston Globe with this story, rather than New York Slimes. No bias whatsoever, of course. /s This is probably true as I have heard them both say similar things and presented this attitude at other times. McConnell and McCarthy both need replaced as leaders. That are both anti-Trumpers, and anti-conservative RINO's.

Tweedle-dee and tweedle-dumb pulled out the long knives to stab Trump in the back. The two lowest of low-life vermin in the senate. Despicable RINO's that have no loyalty, no moral compass, or virtue anywhere in their soulless demonic satanic bodies. A pair of raging alcoholics with resentments and entitlements a mile high. They spend more time together at happy hour than anyplace else. This is a great publicity stunt because the lie continues on thanks to them.

The NYT is not the story here. The story is the complete betrayal of the American people by two of the worst Rinos in politics. These two were just itching to have a reason to come out hard against Trump. They knew what had happened on J6. They knew everything and for them to act as if this was a surprise is laughable. Any reasonable and fair person would have given the POTUS the benefit edit of the doubt. They would have checked into it. They did not because they wanted the narrative that the dems and media put out there to be true. These scurrilous snakes are repulsive backstabbers. M&M hated President Trump from the beginning because he was not one of them and had the audacity to work hard to get things done for the American people. PDT didn’t suffer fools gladly and knew the political class were there to benefit themselves and actually felt contempt for the people they were elected to serve. He had their number and would call them out when they failed miserably to get things done. He accomplished more in his one term than these bozos did in decades and they wanted him gone. He was upsetting their lucrative little applecart. It is frustrating to know that these fools pretty much tried to run the one guy in the party that was committed to the country and the American people out of Washington. They are the worst kind of people, the ones who will smile to your face and then stab you in the back. They not were as supportive as they could have been. They did just enough to keep the conservatives from getting restless. Truth be known, they were thrilled on November 3rd, and look where we are today thanks in part to these two self-serving traitors. Politics certainly is a dirty business and these two are the kind of men that the poem, The Snake, President Trump frequently recited are to a T. It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

Our Congressman (Dr.) John Joyce of PA has ties with Kevin McCarthy. Dr. Joyce votes the same as McCarthy on questionable bills. We did some digging in our County on our Congressional representative. It seems that our Congressman Joyce's daughter in law works for McCarthy. Someone was running against Dr. Joyce in the primaries and received a call from some very higher ups that he needs to pull out gracefully or else........

Both need to be run out of town and destroyed. Trust and believe, they think the "wave" that's coming in November is a huge opportunity for them to stab US in the back and grab big rewards from the deep state. They need to be hoodwinked and bamboozled this time. Their end needs to be just as bad, if not worse, as brandon's end is looking right now. No games, they need to go! I don't care that the NYT or whatever lying leftist rag is reporting it; we all know they are traitors who would say and do just what is being reported about them. The left is trying to take down the party by sacrificing two of their own. That tells you how bad things are for the uni-party, but what do you think the two critters think about being put on the chopping block by their friends?

Both McConnell and McCarthy are DC Uniparty swamp rats. Bare in mind that it was Kevin McCarthy who scuttled Larry Elder's prospects during the California gubernatorial primaries. Both Mitch and Kevin should NOT be Senate Majority Leader and House Speaker, respectively. If they are, it's going to be business as usual with the GOP squandering their chances for real change while they could have from 2017-2018.

Re #4, the New York Times article was republished by the Boston Globe. The original source was the NYT, where the authors of the article and the book they are flogging are employed. I got stuck at a paywall, but there is more on this at another lefty site: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kevin-mccarthy-mitch-mcconnell-trump_n_62615defe4b08393e1c1adea Links to original sources. McCarthy and McConnell were not cool about this. Dumb as a box of rocks. But at the time they thought they’d be on the right side. Didn’t work. Excellent reply, #16. This is not about the NYT.

If this is true, about McConnell and McCarthy, then these RINOs should be removed from leadership positions. McCarthy sems to think he will be the next Speaker. The next Speaker should be President Trump because he is very popular and does not have to be an elected representative to hold that position. In any event, McCarthy needs to be bypassed for someone less RINO-like.

The double-standard is atrocious.

In stark contrast, the network evening newscasts (September 1 - November 16) flooded their airwaves (36 minutes, 21 seconds) with stories of women accusing his GOP opponent Herschel Walker of paying for abortions. That’s almost 200 times more coverage to the Walker story than the Warnock scandal.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday named former federal prosecutor Jack Smith as special counsel for two ongoing criminal investigations by the Department of Justice of former President Donald Trump.   Smith’s appointment came three days after Trump, a Republican, announced plans to run for president in 2024.   Trump’s move directly led to Garland’s decison to appoint a special counsel, who will recommend whether criminal charges should be lodged against the ex-president. The attorney general was appointed by Biden, a Democrat who defeated Trump in his 2020 re-election bid. Biden could again face Trump again in the 2024 election. CORRECTION*

On Tuesday, Gisele Fetterman uploaded a photo of her and her husband in front of the politician’s office, with a freshly minted sign that read “Senator-Elect John Fetterman.” Gisele captioned the triumphant photo with “First day ---.” The photo offers a possible glimpse at how the political power couple may be dressing from January 3 onwards. Gisele, who has co-founded multiple non-profit organizations, appears to have already adapted her funky and individualistic sense of style to the office. In the

Hundreds of Twitter employees apparently quit Thursday after new CEO Elon Musk gave workers an ultimatum: commit to a “hardcore” work environment, or be fired. The reported exodus threw Twitter into more turmoil and came as staffers at the social media giant were given a 5 p.m. Thursday deadline to sign onto Musk’s workplace pledge. The resignations were gleaned from internal Twitter communications, including a poll where 42% of 180 workers surveyed Thursday said they were “Taking the exit option, I’m free,” Reuters reported.

Donald Trump faces a lot of criticism at the moment, having undoubtedly lost a lot of votes because of his behavior just prior and after the midterm elections. Anger of some Republican voters toward the former president runs hot and may cost him the nomination in 2024. Yet it is also the case that Trump has been pronounced politically dead many times in the past, and in most of those cases the cause for the premature Code Blue calls has been his big fat mouth. He has never been able to control his impulses, and has never been a nice guy. This has not stopped his ability to

Republicans, especially those running for president in 2024, know how to get treated “respectfully” by the mainstream media: denounce or at least distance yourself from former President Donald Trump. Former Vice President Mike Pence has learned that lesson and is being treated much better than he previously was by the media.

A few days ago we asked how much longer do we have to wait for the "first-day affidavit" in the FTX bankruptcy, traditionally the most detailed and comprehensive summary of how any given company collapsed into Chapter 11 (and in FTX's case, Chapter 7 soon, as this will soon become a full-blown liquidation)... (Snip) ... and this morning we finally got our answer when it hit the docket (22-11068, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware), almost a full week after FTX filed on Nov 11... and boy is it a doozy. Because how else would one describe it when FTX's new CEO and liquidator, John Ray III,

Not only was crypto-billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried’s company, FTX, allegedly a fraud, but it spent huge sums on recent elections to get Democrats into office. Was this a case of massive election fraud? If so, it isn’t just Bankman-Fried who should be punished. In case you’re not caught up on all this, FTX, a futures exchange for crypto-currencies including its own, exploded into the public’s attention just after the election. That’s when it was revealed that FTX had questionably transferred or “loaned” some $10 billion to its sister company, Alameda Research, to “fund risky bets,” a highly questionable move seemingly to shore up Alameda’s finances. And yes, FTX was a big deal.

Former president Donald Trump ripped into National Review on Friday, arguing that it is a magazine without any remaining influence in an official statement issued along with an image of his 2024 campaign logo. “Why does anyone read the National Review. They are so negative to Conservatives and me, and are seen as being led by lightweights that couldn’t shine the shoes of Bill Buckley. They have absolutely nothing going, it is failing fast, and my only question is, who is paying for the losses — when it loses plenty of money and serves no purpose at all. People are tired of haters —
