Friday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy teased Congress’ immediate upcoming actions to start 2023.
First up, according to the California Republican, after electing the Speaker of the House was to repeal the 87,000 IRS agents provision passed by Congress earlier this year.
“Great question – the first thing we have to do is elect our Speaker. We can’t do anything until we elect that Speaker,” he said. “And if you watch, the White House is actually pushing back on our investigations, saying we’re not going to give you anything till you get this solved.

Hey Kevin, the very first thing I'm going to do this year is call my congressman and tell him to be sure you don't become speaker.

It has been 2,190 days since the Republican Party told us they were going to repeal Obamacare the very first day. The Senate has recused the House, and written the 2023 budget, signed by the Congress and the Executive, so McCarthy, even if Speaker, has no power to repeal the new IRS agents. If a McCarthy Speaker did hold such power, he could also repeal the new FBI HQ, all the government pay raises, the money to Ukraine and the Palestinians, the allocation to climate change, and all the other 1.7 Trillion, all the first day.

A note to whoever becomes Speaker of the House -
The second thing you are to do is order the immediate release of the J6 political prisoners. Afterall, Ray Epps remains a free man.

Hasn’t that already been signed into law in one of these gargantuan spending bills? How exactly you gonna repeal that without the WH and the Senate? When you find yourself in a hole, put down your shovel, step aside and turn this mess over to someone who has a clue.

No. First release all J6 political prisoners.
THEN, fire the arses of all new IRS, and most old IRS, agents.
After that, close the freaking borders.
Then, reopen Keystone and the other pipelines so we can get our economy back on track.
Then ban all CRT, DEI, SEL, ESG from everywhere in the entire country.
After that, ban any gender, sex, drag stuff from every school until the last year of high school.
And if you REALLY want to cheese off the Left, bring prayers and the national anthem back to K-12.

Try to wrap your head around how truly despicable this gargantuan lout truly is. Who is he talking to with this crap? Does he believe his “constituents” are really this stupid? Is he so locked in his DC bubble that he actually believes such ridiculous proclamations are even remotely believable? The man is garbage.

This 'comment is for the Lucianne staff. Family's as used in your headline shows possession. It is not a plural noun which is what I'm sure you intended. "families" is the correct word.

He either doesn't understand how laws are passed or think we don't.
I assume the latter as establishment GOP filth thinks the same of us as his DNC Uniparty brethren, that we're all ignorant morons.
He will put up some stupid bill for a vote, it'll fail, and tell us how hard he tried.

How? You don't have either the Senate nor the White House. You sound like a man drowning who will say anything for someone to toss you a life preserver. You sound desperate. Your only task is to investigate the shite of the J6 Committee including Nasty Nancy and her role and get those in the DC jail released. Find out her role in the charade that is J6. You can't do anything else. Your goose is cooked.

I would believe him if he said the Speaker would table any bills authored by those senators who supported the monstrous $1.7 spend bill. I would believe him if he outlined the specific steps the Speaker will take to release the J6 political prisoners. But the last years have taught me to not believe my government

Politics runs on boob bait. McCarthy is just not a master of boob bait beyond the classic appeal to "patriotism". I'm still waiting for anyone in the House to actually identify a purpose for being there, a reason for being there besides not being "commie Dems". McCarty, Gaetz or anyone else has no agenda, no concept of one. And that's a bigger issue than who will be Speaker. The House originates spending and revenue bills. That's plenty of power in the hands of a strong Speaker leading a majority, no matter how small. And then we come back to that RINO in the room...the UNIPARTY.

Politicians tell a lot of lies. What's important is what they accomplish or don't accomplish. I'm tired of big talkers like Lindsey Graham and it seems Kevin is imitating him.

Sounds like a good litmus test to see if the Republicans are serious. My money is on they will mysteriously come up a few votes short and put up some 'compromise' legislation instead.

And the Senate will pass it and Biden will sign, right? Sounds like Kevin is in fantasy-land. The only thing he can do is block Biden's initiatives.

And i was right about that!
These terminal feces bags will say ANYTHING promise ANYTHING to keep their place on the creamy breast of endlessly flowing perks, benefits and taxpayer dollars which we are ILLEGALLY forced to give them so they can live in luxury while we suffer.
Stop repeating the same mustake and expecting different results. Feces bags don't change their smell.
THROW THE RINOS OUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE REPUBLIC !

If McCarthy becomes Speaker, the first thing he will do is get the Harshly Worded Letter machine out of storage and plug it in. He's just another part of the DC Swamp.

Sometime back I read that Joe Biden withheld funds for school lunches for a school that refused to let boys who say they are transgender have access to female facilities. (Bathroom, shower etc.)If that is legal? Can the congress just postpone parts of the funding bill that was passed until September?

I guess the wimpy congressional Republicans can vote to repeal the leftist Democrat appropriations relating to hiring 87,000 new IRS agents, who will most likely be Democrat supporters and voters. But will enough wimpy establishment Republicans, who are hamstrung with RINOS, actually have enough votes to do that? Even if they do, the bill would have to be passed by the leftist Democrat controlled Senate, which also has about ten RINOS who are pretending to be wimpy establishment Republicans. Following that, if the bill were to somehow pass the Senate, it would have to be sent for presidential signature to “the big guy” Biden who is sitting there in the White House under the control of the extreme progressive Democrats, with a grin on his face, and a veto pen in his hand. So, just maybe, McCarthy is dreaming about the chances of such an appropriation repeal ever actually becoming law in the next two years. Beyond that, Biden most probably as long as he is President, will veto all wimpy establishment bills unless they are loaded down with progressive Democrat favored pork.

While it is possible to get rid of those thousands of agents it will be difficult. It would take every Republican representative to vote for it and we know how weak Republicans can be.
Even if passed by the House, the Senate is unlikely to go along. The House, as the source of spending, would then have to wield the threat of a government shutdown to get the Senate and ultimately Biden on board.
Such was done by Newt Gingrich with welfare reform. The Senate and Clinton were pressured to get on board. I wasn’t paying attention to politics back then but I think the government was shutdown during the process.
Is McCarthy as strong and committed as Gingrich? I have my doubts. I am pretty sure though that the public, when asked whether they prefer a so-called government shutdown to getting rid of IRS agents, would side with McCarthy.

Re: Changing laws by yourself; I may be wrong but I do think the ONLY way to change anything is to pass a NEW bill changing the funding of the previous bill.

McCarthy may desire with all his heart to repeal the 87,000 IRS agent, but I can see no way he can do this. The House is the only part of government. Even if, by some miracle, the Senate can come up with 51 votes in support, Biden would veto the bill. There is no way that either the House or Senate have the votes to override a veto. McCarthy should know this. So the BS meter is pegging off scale.
The very rich will not be touched by these 87,000 IRS agents, because the can afford the high priced accounts and lawyers to fight them off. NO, they will go after the hard working middle class who haven’t the means to fight them off. And, unlike in a murder trial, you are assumed to be guilty and must prove you are innocent.

Now there's a safe promise, much like "we won't touch your social security." Nobody wants 87,000 new IRS agents except the IRS. How about fixing something critical, like the integrity of elections? Unless that's a Unicorn's dream at this point that will go away after Donald Trump is no longer interested in running?
