Kevin McCarthy Asked Liz Cheney, Can't The Social Media Monopolies Take Away the Accounts of Congressmen That Question the Election Results, Too?
What can we do to promise firmly that either this son of a bitch steps aside or we're staying home in November?
Tucker Carlson lashed out at House Minority Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Tuesday night, warning Republicans that a change in leadership is necessary. The Fox News host pointed to an excerpt in a forthcoming book, This Will Not Pass, by New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin.On January 10, after Twitter's Censorious Brahmin Vijaya Gadde had already banned the sitting President from the service, Kevin McCarthy conspired with Liz Cheney about colluding with the tech oligarchs to ban more sitting Republican officials from speaking to their constituents.
The platform had already banned Donald Trump's account permanently at that point after he riled up supporters on the morning of Jan. 6. "We can't put up with that," McCarthy said on Jan. 10, 2021. "Can't they take their Twitter accounts away, too?" Carlson addressed those comments. "Congressman Kevin McCarthy of California told his close friend Liz Cheney that he hoped the social media companies would censor more conservative Republicans in Congress," he stated. "Donald Trump, the sitting president, had already been silenced by those companies. But McCarthy wanted the tech oligarchs to do more and force disobedient lawmakers off the internet." The host quoted McCarthy and reacted with disdain. "Those are the tape-recorded words of Congressman Kevin McCarthy, a man who in private, turns out, sounds like an MSNBC contributor. And yet, unless conservatives get their act together right away, Kevin McCarthy one of his highly liberal allies like Elise Stefanik is very likely to be Speaker of the House in January. That would mean we will have a Republican Congress led by a puppet of the Democratic Party."Either he goes or we go. Kevin McCarthy should retire from leadership to spend more time with his bizarre adult male roommate. No more Secret Democrats. Video below. More: Added another video about McCarthy being even more a-scared about Republican congressmen inciting more insurrectioney attacks.
Newly released audio recordings reveal that House minority leader Kevin McCarthy was concerned about rhetoric by members of his own party following the Jan. 6 insurrection. pic.twitter.com/7IQqX71okf

Comments
(Jump to bottom of comments)1. If a man can be a woman, why not a plastic doll? At least the plastic doll doesn't have a dick.
2. This is the future. We've already seen in a few decades the shift from "love" and family being solely a human-centered concept to an extension of that concept to animals. How many people truly love their pets and treat them as true family members? "Dog mom," "cat mom," "fur baby," etc. Endless IG pics of cuddling and kissing on couches with pets. I'm convinced some weirdos are having sex with their pets. Once the concept of love and family (and possibly sex) was extended to non-human animals, how much further does it have to go to reach inanimate objects?
3. Ace posted that he doubts millions of years of evolution developing attraction and sex between humans can be overcome in a few decades to reach attraction to machines. Or at least that's how I read what he said. My response: Really? I'm not so sure. See #2 above.

Sad to say, these sort of threats never, ever pan out. It's Red Team V. Blue Team, and this isn't the election that's going to break that.
The best we can hope for is to get enough Freshman Republicans in the House to throw the Speaker race so that no one gets a majority vote on the first ballot.
Pressure your local Congressperson that way.

By making loud support of their primary opponents who will easily call for the overthrow of McCarthy in leadership. If and when that fails, you make loud support of the Democratic opponent who will not vote for McCarthy as Speaker.
"Oh, we can't support the Democrat! We need every seat!"
Would you rather have a 29 seat majority without McCarthy or a 30 seat majority with him? That's the appropriate logic to use.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, looking great in a trenchcoat and fedora with JP Melville at April 27, 2022 12:21 PM (LvTSG)
The R Party is happy to have him as the "leader". This is who they anointed.
On top of that his name is McCarthy and no one in their right mind would make a McCarthy their public face. Perception is reality. Might as well be called something "Hitler".

The point of fighting this fight isn't to actually get someone like MTG Speaker, it's to get leadership to bend. Breaking them is pie in the sky, but making McCarthy scared enough for his position that he'll actually allow his conservative members positions on important committees (especially without the White House to sign any bills into law), is a modest and worthwhile goal.
It won't do much, but it's a baby step in the right direction. I'd rather have the baby step than not.

There's not much of a practical difference between the parties. I mean the window dressing is different, but the outcomes tend to go in the same direction with differing speeds. Sure, Judges. Except that's not been as strong as hoped. Although surely would have been worse without Trump. I don't know what else to say except, keep praying for a miracle. Its going to take one to right this ship. Not enough votes or guns to fix it in my lifetime.

That Friedman quote is the crux of our problem. Have you noticed how all campaign finance "reform" makes it harder and harder for private citizens to raise money? Maybe I am wrong about that, but it seems to me to be that way.
And if they caucus in secret for leadership, we would not know who voted which way.

It was already been shown that McCarthy didn't say that Trump should be impeached for fomenting insurrection on January 6th. I think a lot of this is trying to divide Republicans, and probably Liz Cheney has her hands involved in it too. I don't like McCarthy, but he'd be better than Nancy as Speaker.

Or you could just tell her the un-politically correct truth, which is that most towns are named by/for their founders, and those people tend to be men, because it was men who went out exploring new places.

Trump won't take the job, but he needs to. He can run for POTUS while he has the Speaker role.

Posted by: Darrell Harris at April 27, 2022 12:35 PM (sp4fe)
So, yeah. Okay.
McCarthy needs to come out and make a statement about what he thought then and what he thinks now. No, really, he needs to. I know the consultants are all like "don't talk about Trump or J6 or the election..."
But he needs to say why the things he said then are suspect - he can claim fog of war or whatever - and what he believes now.

Again, who released the recording? Was it Liz Cheney? If so, why did she do that? Could it be Liz has it in for McCarthy, and, if so, why?
Do I like what I heard on the excerpt? Not at all. I'd also like to point out there's context missing and, more importantly, this is being used again McCarthy, for reasons unknown. That the NYT wound up with this is highly suspect, to say the least.

I mean...so? Congress can't pass much without the WH, and they create a messaging vacuum for someone else to fill between now and the presidential primaries. Instead of making a case for their own leadership, the GOPe is going to do not much of anything, leaving the field open for Trump to define the Republican Party on his own terms. It's honestly a bad strategy if there's another power center within the party. It's pretty good when the GOPe is the only game in town.

Supposedly it is Cheney. Either a dipshit advisor leaked it, or she's in 'burn the fucking house down" mode. Well, she's going to lose an election and what does an entitled sociopath do except blame everyone else for their own diaster?
Do I like what I heard on the excerpt? Not at all. I'd also like to point out there's context missing and, more importantly, this is being used again McCarthy, for reasons unknown. That the NYT wound up with this is highly suspect, to say the least.
Yes, context and yadda-yadda, but who is "they" in "Can't they take their Twitter accounts away, too?" Just in that one question you have all the elements of a fascist operation. "They" has to mean not just Twitter mgnt but some group that has more power that just Twitter in that "too" implies something bigger than just one social platform.

But getting the majority back is the first priority.

The next GOP House leader doing an event at the border, and burbling up tired and obviously insincere rhetoric about border security and immigration. After happily participating as a senior leadership figure in a Congress whose GOP majorities (both houses) did literally nothing to act, or even politicize*, in support/defense of a president elected substantially on a pledge to restore sanity and rule of law in this area.
* politix is about differentiation and clarity, and not only does the GOP *do* nothing, they don't even approach a topic that in reality is in the neighborhood of 70/30 or 80/20, politically, with the electorate

The GOP does not make concessions to the Right. You'll get compromise from a Democrat before that happens, and that will never happen.
These situations reminds me of the scene from The Wire, when the angry security guard at the bodega confronts Marlo Stanfield about what he's doing to his community...
Marlo looks at him and contemptuously, repeatedly says "You want it to be one way. But it's the other way," as the guard slowly trails off into silence.
Then he drives away and orders him shot for his insolence.
Probably the best scene on the best show ever, and representative of the dynamic in American life, in every arena.

Yes!
The only way to get rid of McCarthy is to convince enough Republicans in his district to hold their noses and vote for his Democrat opponent for one election cycle. That's really the only way to get rid of anyone in leadership - they won't be blindsided in a primary again the way Cantor was.

McCarthy needs a better defense than "This is Democrats trying to divide us". What else has he said? Maybe he should nail his colors to the mast for free speech, for Trump, against pedo groomers in schools and for the fake election.... and maybe I'll start listening.
Until then I'll believe the NY Times and Cheney unreservedly because fuck him.

TBF - that is literally the best chance the Dems have to staunch the bleeding. So you can expect much more of this. And with Trump out there, the J6 stuff is going to keep being hit over an over again. Because the Dems have no defense, they have to attack with the only thing they do have: A bunch of stiff incumbent republicans who were/are hopelessly out of touch with 90% of their base, reacting with horror over the prospect that the proles weren't going to take it anymore.

Nothing lasts forever. It will eventually change.
However, Republicans vs. Democrats have survived since the late 1850s through the Civil War, two world wars, great societal change, Watergate, the Great Society, the assassination of JFK, the rise of Reagan, and Nancy Pelosi getting her hair did without a mask in the middle of covid.
It might be better to figure out how to get the system to work for you in some way than to wait for the system to simply collapse.

It was the core assumption among all of NT. But the great unmasking under Trump was successful, and will likely make that impossible. They might take back the party (I think they will probably succeed at that), but it will be a party without a base.

McCarthy now has to deal with Tucker, and that's not going to be easy. He should have stayed away from the Cheney's right from the beginning, long before the j6 committee. But he's the schlub you get and expect from GOPe leadership.
Posted by: Boswell at April 27, 2022 12:46 PM (5iUNf)
If there were anything to McCarthy he would announce he will not stand as Speaker. Of course, he won't do that. Gotta have secret votes to keep war criminal nepots like Liz in leadership!
The Republicans will squeak out wins, possibly in both chambers, but they will be narrow. Which is a good thing, a very narrow GOP majority, because it will force them to go through the motions of being an opposition party.

Nah. The House will be something like a minimum of a 30 seat majority and the Senate will be about 53-47 GOP.
The House will be pretty big Republican, but it doesn't mean that much if the House isn't willing to use its powers of the purse. Which I don't think anyone in Congress, up to and including someone like Rand Paul, is really willing to use to the full effect.

Well, what they're doing is illegal. The government cannot instruct a private entity to do something that it could not do itself. The state asking Big Tech to engage in censorship is illegal, and it is in violation of the Constitution.
There's no way to frame it as allowed or legal. But that doesn't matter because the Constitution is essentially irrelevant.

Trump is asserting control over the GOP. In politics that doesn't killing all that displease you, it means building a coalition. He thinks he can build a certain level of personal loyalty between himself and McCarthy so that McCarthy will back him on political priorities when and if he becomes president again.

Twitter was disappearing issues raised by candidates for public office. The NY Post story about H. Biden's computer is one example-- Twitter used its power to just remove the issue from public discourse.
Twitter also suspended the account of Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-inc.; MO-04), who is running for Senate in MO, because she raised the issue of transgendered men competing in women's sports. Bingo-- issue disappeared.
That kind of thing is much worse than liberal bias in general. I think it's an attack on the democratic process itself.

Absolutely.
The entire reason we are where we are today, post-legally-stolen election, is because of censorship. People couldn't talk about things openly. Doctors couldn't discuss things without fear of losing their jobs.
All of that led to the lockdowns, which led to the election, which led to inflation, etc.

It was ok. A few nits to pick - that cave the ships were in wasn't really remote or hard to find. Spelunkers would have discovered that a long, long, long time ago.
Also, they were talking about billions of dollars in gold - could a single helicopter have picked up that much weight plus the ships and cannons, etc?
Finally, pet peeve - villains so dumb that they give up a sure thing of 2.5 billion to chase after the other 1/2 - 2.5 billion and end up with nothing. Just take what you have in hand when it's more than enough to make you mega, mega, mega rich.

Yep. Biden is even now dropping hints that he plans to wipe away -- with a stroke of his magic pen -- billions (or more) student loan debt of millions of borrowers. He told some hispanic group that they're going to like what he's going to do on the student loan debt, and they've been demanding he go whole hog.
It's insane, and obviously grossly unfair, that one crooked politician who is desperate to buy votes can transfer a trillion dollars in somebody else's legal debts onto people who didn't agree to the loans and didn't receive any benefit from them.
And then of course we have Biden spending billions in "covid" funds to provide free phones and free plane rides and all sorts of other goodies to the millions of illegal aliens he has invited to flood across our southern border.
Our government is a sick, sad joke, and unfortunately the joke's on us.

You can drive to the top. The walking trails are easy and enjoyable though. In the same area is The Crags and I would go with friends to do some boulder hopping. Lots of tourist trap places in the area like garden of the gods, royal gorge and so on. Better things to see and do away from the masses I think.

the M-26–the world's largest heavy-lift helicopter is capable of transporting up to 44,000 pounds. A billion in gold is about 22 tons. A ton is 2,000 pounds. so 2 1/2 billion in gold is 55 tons or 110,000 pounds. Plus the ship with cannons - at least another few tons. More than double what the best helicopter can carry.
It's stupid things like this that drive me nuts in movies. I know - suspend disbelieve and all that - but some things are hard to ignore.
Also, you can't hear another person talking when you are free-falling. No matter how loud you yell.
And, if you jump from the cargo to try to get to the next one up the line you would instantly be left behind b/c the aircraft is traveling so fast. The second your feet left the cargo box, the plane would have move forward away from you by hundreds of feet.
My kids loved the movie though.
