They where right outside Kevin Mccarthy’s office windows trying to get in….
The same guy who IS still supporting Donald Trump got NOTHING from the guy …..
Unfuckingbelieveable….
In an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did.
“Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are,” Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy.
McCarthy insisted that the rioters were Trump’s supporters and begged Trump to call them off.
Trump’s comment set off what Republican lawmakers familiar with the call described as a shouting match between the two men. A furious McCarthy told the then-President the rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked Trump, “Who the f–k do you think you are talking to?” according to a Republican lawmaker familiar with the call….

The only thing I like about this animal Trump is how he treats these Republican wimps like this McCarthy dumbass like dirt.
Sitting there with a damn mob of crazed Trumpublicans looking to do God knows what to him and this pitiful little slimeball begs his master to call the trash off.
The master schools the wimp then a few weeks later,the dope is sucking up to the animal down in Florida.
The Republican Party 2021!
The only reason you find it “unfuckingbelievabke” is you refuse to accept what the Republican Party has become.
Jack is completely right. But we still have whatabout excuses for the new GQP here.
Remember, our friends here thought this trial was a waste of time.
Really? We will soon know who the traitors are.
Yes ,any of these Republican wimps that sit there ,after this revelation that their Leader was well aware of what was happening and indeed appears to be reveling in it ,and then votes to acquit this Domestic Terrorist are accomplices of this act of terrorism
McCarthy had to go to Mar A Lago and apologize for being fearful of his life from the mob of Confeferates and dead enders that Trump sent.
Sad excuse for a party.
The Lincoln Project is in shambles after revelation about John Weaver.
What revelations about whom?
I’m surprised you haven’t read about John Weaver one of the founders of the LP.Hes a serial sexual harasser of young men,which has essentially admitted everything.
Now Steve Schmidt another founder has quit.
There is an “independent counsel” investigating the whole operation .
And now Meghan McCain says that Weaver and Schmidt ,whose claims to fame was their work fir the late John McCain ,were so detested by her father that he didn’t want them at his funeral.
Pretty much a shambles.
Surprise surprise. MSNBC reports McConnell will acquit Trump.
Depending on more than a handful out of a 100 Republicans to do the right thing is clearly a fool’s errand.
I know this comes as a great shock to Republican apologist James .After all, Mitch doesn’t “really like” Trump.
Haha!
Jack,
I think James is right in that McConnell doesn’t like Trump (we all know how many times he was boxed in during the last four years by what the President said and did)…but his dislike for him doesn’t mean he won’t vote for acquittal because McConnell is reading the tea leaves and sees how much it would hurt him politically, he would face a strong vote to have him removed as minority leader and that is something he doesn’t want…this is a power hungry parliamentarian who is politically prudent and will do anything to keep his position, so a principled vote by him will not occur.
Now they are calling witnesses, I guess they feel that this is the only way to try to further convince Republicans of how bad their leader is…I really think it doesn’t matter at this point, Trump always said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and his supporters will still follow him, he basically did that on Jan 6, and he is proven right…It does fray the 10-15 percent of Republicans that have a conscience when it comes to the President’s actions, but most still support the guy and still find reasons to support him and the belief that the election was stolen…my mother’s former boss who she knows for 20 years, who by all means is a nice and caring and law abiding individual and intelligent and college educated man, a family man, a small business owner, not a confederate looney, not even an NRA gun, and a very by the book guy…still believes the election was stolen, still sends her e-mails of political propaganda of “evidence” showing the election machines being stolen…the hold on the Republican voters of the bullshit, the cult like following is seriously the most dangerous aspect of the guy…he used the Media (and his so called fight with the media) to further his relationship with the base…made it an us verse them mentality, which is very powerful controlling mechanism by a leader…but I don’t want to make it out like his followers are just some sheep that can’t think, they bare responsibility for their actions and decisions, they don’t get a pass for following this asshole
Indeed Bdog….
You don’t understand sarcasm.
bdog, We (and that includes Jack) all know that multiple GOP legislators don’t personally like Trump, but they still recognize that he is the face of the GOP, and they know they will damage themselves if they vote against or insult Trump. And since power is so important to these people, they just won’t do it. I think you missed the point of Jack’s brief post. Jack can correct me if I am wrong.
Glad you admit that Trump’s followers bare some responsibility for his actions even if they could be “a family man” or “small business owner”. But if this person you appear to admire is a “very by the book guy”, then he should have accepted Biden’s victory by now. I mean, in what way was Biden’s victory and unsuccessful challenges to his victory not “by the book”?

Amazing that only half a dozen byelections separate Kevin McCarthy from the Speaker’s office, where he would bear responsibility for the life, safety and welfare of about 440 colleagues, their staffs and the staff of the House itself — against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
And sent by ur President?
I guess Trump reality bending thing is contagious?
McCarthy Tries to Rewrite History
“House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy tried to rewrite history on Thursday by claiming that he was not involved in former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election in a heated exchange during a news briefing,” CNN reports.
“McCarthy’s explanation flies in the face of reality. Trump tried to pressure Congress to overturn the election and McCarthy raised no concerns about it. He also backed a Texas lawsuit to invalidate millions of votes, and ultimately voted in favor of overturning the election results of two states during votes that took place after the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol.”
And the Republicans want to talk about Pelosi while this lying little wimp is their candidate for Speaker?
