How much longer do you think McCarthy can remain in Trump's good graces? - Chris

[TheBigStink]

"There's nothing I could say about the GOP that Kevin McCarthy hasn't already put on tape."

fascists tend to stick together, live to slime another day. a deal is a deal.

The last thing Trump needs is Kevin McCarthy all of a sudden supporting the January 6 commission. McCarthy made his thoughts pretty clear in private but won't do it publicly because he doesn't want to piss off the base.

McCarthy will never be speaker. Trump always gets even. Trump is playing McCarthy. I just don't understand how anyone can trust Trump to truly forgive. He never has.

[dadadadoog]

I think it's not just transactional. The revelation of McCarthy's apostasy and its revocation make McCarthy's every public utterance a humiliation, and confirmation of Trump's power. He loves it when people see the strings on his puppets.

Takes one to know one: corrupt liar, grifter, selfish... too easy

[hogansgoat]

Yup, but if the retrumplicans don't care about truth, integrity, promises or values, what difference does it make?

[UMVELINQANGI]

Simple: Trump is the ventriloquist, and McCarthy is his dummy.

[spir]

McCarthy: if Adolf Hitler runs for president and is a Republican, I will support him.

[philgroves]

"Look, I've always said I will support whoever becomes the Republican nominee. And that's what I will do." Those are not the words of a leader who can govern, think, and act on their own - they are the words of a simpering coward who is not capable of independent thought. McCarthy continually shows himself to be weak-minded and without convictions, which is how Donald Trump manipulates the shit out of him. Sad, so sad. Such a disgrace.

[sheckyfeinstein]

The reason Trump didn’t ditch McCarthy is because McCarthy’s a shyster.

[jonathanburton]

McCarthy gives the best mushroom caressings

[richardbaileysr]

Anyone he can't blackmail he attacks

[gljm]

The real reason? Because Miss Lindsey Graham wasn't doing a good enough job cleaning Trump's backside with his lips .

[JohnMaun]

The real reason? Because it's hard to find a good fluffer.

[mwilk]

Cause McCarthy gives a better hummer than Stormy Daniels.

THIS IS A CLASSIC CASE OF TWO ONE LEGGED MEN IN AN A-- KICKING CONTEST.🇺🇲
