Oh my McCarthy!

[imanamerican63]

McCarthy has reportedly told Trump off! Good for him, but what took him so long? There is no victory in that because the GOPers have pandered to Trump’s every whims and looked the other way all the while Trump has never been held accountable for his illegal actions. So Mr. McCarthy, your rebuke of Trump has no mercy nor merited with any noteworthy substance of honor to your fellow Americans and is way to late. Blood has shedded and damage has been done, period.

1. I need to have heard that account, which I

suspect McCarthy himself leaked with spin, to believe it.

He’s a weasel.

3. Exactly

2. Watching them meekly stand up to Trump behind closed doors, on phone calls, is laughable.

Their rebuke must made public. That’s the only way out of this mess. That’s another reason I want impeachment! They will go on public record tomorrow and I can’t wait!!

4. What took him so long was his life was threatened...

But a sigh of relief that that spell is broken. If McCarthy wants to redeem himself he needs to tell his caucus to vote for impeachment because Trump deserves it and it’s their job!

5. If this is true, there is a good reason for this having taken so long

McCarthy doesn't care one whit about whether or not Trump has damaged the country. However, if he has damaged the Republican Party, and its hold over the control of the nation, THAT is a cardinal sin for which there is no pardon in the Republican mind.

6. Do you really believe he did?

[imanamerican63]

7. Hence "reportedly"!

9. Exactly

A leak nowadays is a frame for the imagination

13. No. Trump would never take a "rebuke".

Trump did nothing wrong, those idiots at the capitol just couldn't follow his perfect plan.

14. Great point

8. Donors are cutting off the cash flow

and that's the mother's milk for repubs. In addition, Liz Cheney is going to cut him off at the knees for hewing too close to tRump and ending up as an enabler of sedition.

She's going to keep him from being Speaker if repubs ever regain control of the House and TBH she'll deserve it because she was one of the repubs who stuck by traditional repub principles for most of the time the regime's been in power

10. Reminds me of the sailors taunting Captain Bligh in Mutiny on the Bounty as they set him adrift

[StarfishSaver]

11. But he's still afraid to say it publicly

[fishwax]

12. i have no respect or admiration for what he does in private as long as his public-facing posture

remains opposed to democratic efforts to respond to and reduce the threat.
