Yes you are.

McCarthy worked with dems to give dems what they want as the gop majority leader.

Meanwhile, tue gop got squat.

And, he did it behind closed doors.

Yes. He’s not working with the Dems. In fact, he’s expecting the Dems to bail McCarthy out.

How in the world are you still this ignorant of what’s going on.

Why would any dem not take the opportunity to help a Republican controlled house fire their speaker?
Gaetz is taking this as a given.

Because of Gaetz, which means Gaetz is giving the DEMs more than had he just fallen in line with KM.

So, it's a great strategy by Gaetz to actually do something and totally isn't him creating talking points to remain in his position as House troll.

Because they are going to leverage the vote to get shite they want in the spending bill and beyond...

Gaetz is going to put it on record, that the GOP leader, is making deals with Dem on their policies to stay in power.

Gaetz is not making any deals with democrats.


PS - big difference between "working with" and "closed door deals"

Truth. But but but, according to some here, McCarthy is not "shady". And the concessions he agreed to with his conference of which he has escalated the breaches thereof doesn't matter because things are perfectly fine with the SOH giving the opposition whatever they want to continue the status quo.

frick it all. Burn it all down because the American taxpayers cannot afford to keep "winning" in this manner.

He's just creating a path for the DEMS to get more out of this spending bill

He doesn't have the personality to be a troll and is way too institutionalized to even try it

KM is a politician through and through, that's how he can get both the GOPE and Trump/MTG to support him as SOH.

Maybe the Dems played along with Gaetz so that McCarthy would be forced to come to the Dems for help and they could cut a deal that would beneficial for the Dems.

Where are the Jan 6 Tapes Kevin?

Declaring a loss?

This is performative. Straight up virtue signaling.

Yes. The DEMs played Gaetz for a fool.

Gaetz is going to try to rally this virtue signaling into martyrdom with the sky screamers, instead of admitting he took a huge L for his stated policies.
