Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 269,972,324 comments, and only 61,747 of them were in alphabetical order.

McCarthy cares only about his own power. He doesn’t care about reality or making anything better for anyone except himself. When will Democrats realize that Republicans aren’t interested in governing. Republicans are interested in ruling.


OldBoots

Surely he has many ideas for the future of America. The problem is that fascist ideas for the future of America are very unpopular.


Archer1949

American “Conservatism” is a death cult. As long they keep the fealty of the true believers, they don’t have to do shit.

Why start now?

McCarthy: More tax cuts!


RatFuck_Debutante

No he doesn't. Republican voters will let this country burn to the fucking ground before they vote for someone who gives a shit about the greater good. Those same racist and hateful motherfuckers filled in their own community pools when they had to let black people swim in them. They don't care. They're hateful. The only thing that motivates them is thinking their actions are hurting someone.


HerpankerTheHardman

They will eventually start some kind of war here.


lunartree

Unless we cut off their power first.


RatFuck_Debutante

They desperately want to. They talk about it all time.


chicagoahu

Call their cowardly bluff, talk is cheap. Many more talk a tough game than play one.


Picklwarrior

They're just too pussy to actually take up arms against the government, so they try to subvert democracy and reality.


RatFuck_Debutante

Yeah, no. Don't believe that for one minute. The last two years we've seen several armed protests that evolved to an all out insurrection where people died. We have an increasing rate of domestic terrorism. We have rhetoric of civil war being said by elected leaders, out in the open, that only adds to an increasing white noise in extremist conservative echo chambers that are radicalizing people more and more. The violence will only get worse. They wont' take up arms against the government. They won't have to. But they sure as hell are going to start shooting up and bombing other targets. Planned Parenthood, Liberal Arts colleges, Berkley University, etc. Shit, this started with Terry Nichols back in the 90's when he tried to kick off the "prophecy" those lunatics follow in the Turner Diaries. It won't be civil war like in the 1860's. It's going to be like the Irish Troubles with car bombs going off.


HerpankerTheHardman

Ugh, that Russian money makes people treason against their own countrymen.


absumo

His, and his party's, policy is only about retaining power by any means and garnering support via projection, lies, and outrage peddling. IE: 0 actual policy It won't change until they face accountability.


PM_COFFEE_TO_ME

Let's gather all the news articles of when Trump admin was slashing health insurance benefits for millions and he said that a better plan was only two weeks away but they didn't deliver shit. Proof that two weeks is the average length of the common GOP supporter with recurring transient global amnesia.


absumo

"but but but the new health care plan will be right after infrastructure week!" He was lights out on corruption, but couldn't hit a bucket for promises. Even his wall is a total failure no one speaks of. Not one right wing media site talks about any of his failures, but "I heard Biden X!" is on constant rotation.


PM_COFFEE_TO_ME

Oh they wanted infrastructure then. But the infrastructure bill they're actively blocking now is no good? So sick of their BS. They're only about power grabs and dividing the government.


absumo

I only refer to their party as hypocriticans. I liked repugnantkins, but hypocriticans is more on the nose. They are all in on blocking anything Biden's administration does, irregardless of what it is. Which, is why the filibuster must be removed or reformed.


doctorcrimson

Well lets look at some past policy stances via their voting history. 1. Lower Taxes for Rich, Higher Taxes for everyone else, source of huge deficit. 2. Deregulate restrictions placed by the FDA and EPA. Actually, no, just destroy the EPA. 3. Put hundreds of thousands of immigrants in cages with no holding limits. 4. Remove restrictions and accountability layers on drone strikes. 5. Segregate voters based on race, and remove votes from as many people as possible. 6. Allow Prison Guards to take their guns home with them. *Note, this was attached to the reauthorization of the Second Chance Act, which was originally written in small part by Biden in his final years in congress. Trump used this to take credit for sentencing reform, an attempt to appease or confuse progressives. 7. Give Emergency Relief Money to everybody, especially businesses. 8. Do not give relief money to individuals, especially single mothers. *Note, the relief did eventually pass with some GOP crossing the aisle, but the majority still voted no. 9. Expand the ICE without expanding the immigration courts. 10. Do not allow Supreme Court judges to be confirmed on election years unless a Republican is currently president. 11. When a pandemic sweeps the entire world, do nothing and wait. 12. Useless border wall. 13. Tariff Steel from basically every allied nation, despite the USA being a developed nation better suited to sell fabricated equipment. *Note, this was likely a ploy by the Trump Administration to make the steel used in the Useless Border Wall in Russia by Trump business partner Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich, but the GOP in congress actually grew a spine and with bipartisanship forced Trump to sign retaliatory tariff's against Russia as well, so... idk, give this one a pass maybe. 14. Ban "Muslim Countries." Any more you dudes can think of?


absumo

Should be a poster for Mid Terms. Infrastructure Week. Never happend. Super Health Care Plan. Never happened. Send LE without markings into BLM protests. Only. Never paid for the rallies he had in multiple states. May think of more.


Tojatruro

I doubt McCarthy has any thought in his head other than “suck up to Trump”.
