President Joe Biden tore into the GOP as the 'MAGA party' following the release of an explosive tape of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in the days after the Capitol riot, termed a party dominated by figures like Ted Cruz as a 'different breed of cat.'The president referenced newly revealed audiotapes of McCarthy (R-Calif.) fuming about Trump and claiming he admonished the former president in a private phone call. One excerpt has McCarthy claiming that Trump 'told me he does have some responsibility for what happened.''I've had it with this guy. What he did is unacceptable,' McCarthy can be heard telling fellow House leaders

Biden is a different breed of cat and was before his brain turned to oatmeal. It's the breed that defines a lady part.

It’s high time for a republican that is in your face and displaces some backbone. We’ve had enough of the Democrats cancer. Trump gave the template let’s use it.

Most know that MAGA stands for Make America Great Again, the antithesis of what Joe’s actions have demonstrated. A senile person, he daily demonstrates his incompetence, his unfitness for office, his disinterest in the welfare of the US and its people, and his policies have chipped away substantially at the US’s position as the global leader - the latter a gift to Xi and the CCP who are aiming to supplant the US in that position by 2049. (Zhou Biden may well be accelerating that timeline.) Doesn’t he still like to play the cussing, obnoxious smart aleck that was his schtick in the Senate. Just a tough-talking, wisecracking (know nothing) good ole boy. Never mind, folks, that he’s a lying, cheating, corrupt piece of work. That hasn’t changed.

The spooks are political thugs capable of doing anything. Whether mccarthy is anti US constitution, merely pro self preservation and advancement, or was merely (and understandably) in a panic at the optics of the then occurring situation (the goal of the people who engineered the event) and was stream of consciousness babbling with all the other panickers and the event engineers hoping to distance himself from the event is unknown. Logically under no circumstances could Trump have benefited from an extra legal event on jan 6. He would have to be a hapless crook, not understand TV and optics, and not understand our legal system to think undertaking an “insurrection” could benefit him. He clearly has none of those shortcomings. The dims have benefited greatly from the event and hope to keep exploiting it. They said in 2016 that they intended to engineer an event of this nature. They practiced violence all of 2020. Kamel a hairass made a public call for violence in the summer of 2020 “to continue until the election and to continue after the election.” (Youtube won’t let you watch the video unless you’re over 18). What does logic point to?

You're right Joe Trump is a different breed of cat. His 80 million supporters are not. We're just good old traditional Americans (with claws). DeSantis is a different breed of cat. Abbott is a different breed of cat. McCarthy's just a cat.

Joe reeks of desperation. No one outside DC will know or care about this tape even if they knew. Highest inflation in 40 years or ever if you use the same math we used during Carter. Energy prices up 30%. Food prices up 30%. Empty shelves in many places. Americans still missing in Afghanistan. It's over, Joe. The bunny is soon to permanently remove you from the stage. You won't notice; have another ice cream.

McCarthy has lost all credibility within the repub party and should seriously consider not entering the race for Speaker, if these wimps should happen to gain control of the House, likewise for McConnell, in the Senate - the lesson should be that, if you cross our #45 you will pay a significant price now and in the future

I remember the dems saying the same thing about Reagan for years... ''racist war-monger'', then both Bushes... ''Chimpy McBush-hitler, the world's dumbest fascist''. Mr. Biteme would be better served attending to accomplish what he claimed he would do while he was runnning for Pres. from his basement; eradicate covid, unite the country, and strengthen the economy to pre-pandemic levels. So far he is a complete failure and at current has several crisis that are the results of his own incompetence. If Trump had been re-elected he would have launched similar Warp Speed initiatives to make therapeutics and testing readily available, then development of a 2nd generation vaccine that would cover new variants. All Biteme has done is issue mandates for which he has no authority. Trump would have had domestic oil producers increase production, could have used the War Powers Act, to drive up the supply of oil on the world market. The US would still be energy independent and the petro-economies of Russian and Iran would be cash starved. The current border crisis has been directly caused by Biden policy. Nothing else needs to be said.

The Biden people are doing a favor to us by releasing the recording of McCarthy. It exposes him and should disqualify him as a potential Speaker of the House. He is not on our side. We can do better. As to post # 15, I doubt that Harry Truman or John F. Kennedy would be democrats today. They both were "America First" type of leaders and would not be a part of the intense anti-American flavor of today's democrat party.

Six people were killed, a man was critically wounded in a police-involved shooting and 31 others were shot across Chicago this weekend, marking the city’s most devastating toll so far this year as temperatures rose ahead of the typically violent summer months.Just last week, Chicago Police Supt. David Brown touted encouraging drops in homicides and shootings as the department pushes to tamp down the surging violent crime that has become a serious political liability for Mayor Lori Lightfoot.In January, just days after Chicago closed the books on its deadliest year in a quarter-century, Lightfoot declared 2022 a “make-or-break year” for doing just that.

Over the last 16 tortuous months of the Biden presidency, it’s become clear that the Democrats are running on empty.They are not even trying to reset their electorally poisonous policies.Politically this means they are heading for annihilation at the midterms. Yet they appear curiously relaxed, as if winning elections is no longer a priority. One thing you know is that the Dems are not hiding under the duvet sucking their thumbs.

With the cost of energy skyrocketing and record-breaking inflation, the Biden administration came out last month and warned the public about “food shortages” hitting the US. Naturally, like with the ‘Putin price hike’, fingers were pointed at the war in Ukraine for causing the shortages. Biden himself was even trotted out by his handlers, warning that the shortages in the US would be nothing short of “real.” Well, something odd and concerning has been happening ever since the Biden Administration made their ominous prediction.
