She told him in front of an audience that she would "fuck him up" six months ago.
Imagine being terrified of Mammy Traitor Green.
Well have you seen her? Pretty sure we have an Encino Man situation going on there. She is probably freakishly strong from having to battle sabretooth tigers and dinosaurs before getting stuck in a tar pit.
For a second I actually thought the thumbnail picture was Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Bruh 😂
Those shoes are mine, Betch!
Hmm, am I missing a reference here? 😅
McCarthy might be the biggest coward in Congress. And there’s a lot of competition for that title.
so how the hell did it flip so hard? "russia bad" used to be the most simple thing they rallied behind.
Money, kompromat, a model for their vision of fascism, who can say ...
Speaker of the what?
Punk ass bitches
Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the Punk Ass Bitches.
It does roll off the tongue.
Normally I oppose my counterculture segment being an insult but fuck McCarthy's punk ass
Good job McFucksy, waste more of the Americans tax dollars doing dumb shit. Flesh waster.
Well, why don't we have every single line item in its own bill then, and vote up or down on every single thing? Perhaps every individual word could be its own bill.
Honestly, I feel like maybe that’s the way it should be.
It’s idealistic, I know, but I really dislike the idea of tit for tat pork being attached to get routine government programs funded.
The problem is these assholes prefer to extract everything they can through brinksmanship and spinning tires rather than actually going to the compromise they all know will be settled on.
If we're talking gov funding bills they should all be passed a year in advance. This constant edging shit is a result of the news cycle.
exactly. In an ideal world, each item should be it's own thing, discussed on it's own merits, without any risk of that thing getting defunded because of political wankery. they certainly shouldn't be lumping in a watering down of federal authority to control immigration rules, for example.
Fucking weasel.
She is like a Karen's final form.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced Friday that he will strip funding for Ukraine out of a Pentagon spending bill after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) joined conservatives in blocking the legislation from advancing earlier this week.
McCarthy said he would remove the $300 million for Ukraine currently in the Pentagon appropriations bill and hold a separate vote on the funding.
The Speaker’s announcement comes one day after a band of five conservatives opposed a procedural vote for the Pentagon appropriations bill, sinking the effort and preventing the legislation from moving forward.
The rule failed for a second time on the same day that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with lawmakers in the Capitol.
“Our defense appropriations bill should never be going to fund a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, so this is a victory for common sense,” she later added.
The failed rule vote Thursday was a blow to McCarthy, who has sought to advance the appropriations process ahead of a Sept. 30 shutdown deadline — to no avail.
The original article contains 555 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 70%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Good, no more foreign wars, this isn't what democrats should be focused on
We're funding Ukraine so we won't have to fight a foreign war.
Hey, that's two steps of logic, that's cleary too much for them.
Damn it’d be nice to be this naive again.
No more foreign wars until WWIII
Guess the US should also close every forward operating base then and let our allies in East Asia fend for themselves against China and North Korea.
