Does tfg have something on McCarthy?

[grumpyduck]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but it seems like McCarthy's tone and messaging over the past few days has changed, but it's different than McConnell's or the three spoiled brats.

It doesn't come across as desperation or fear exactly, but more like he's taking directions from someone (tfg, probably) or trying to do some damage control.

Anyone else notice this?

1. McCarthy has some shady stuff in his background

I know someone who is related to him and said he was a drunk frat boy who’s family bailed him out in his younger years.

I don’t know if this is true but he does acte like a guy being blackmailed.

5. Drunk a-hole Frat Boys are the pool that Republicans recruit from

2. Yes, his ability to become Speaker.

[zipplewrath]

10. Exactly

He sees Trump as his avenue to a GQP majority in the House.

3. Same thing he's got on all of them. Putin has all the data on Trump & the Repubs.

All the 'yet' unreleased data that tells how, when, & where they all signed on to overthrow the United States of America.

They all signed on & all agreed to do the task they were given.
Putin's global network of organized crime owns everyone of them.

4. He doesn't need to have anything, he just needs to complain about him not being loyal, or being

weak, or whatever, and the idiot MAGAts will turn on Kevin.

One does not need to blackmail somebody already prostrating themselves at one's feet.

[grumpyduck]

8. Ok, so could it all be just a race for survival?

If they're afraid of other magats turning on them, then it makes sense they'd want to keep hanging in there.

Regardless of what they really think.

IOW, major hypocrisy.

6. Allowing the T***p family to access the US Government was

a National Security blunder which exposed America to foreign and domestic coercion and blackmail. The GOP, being the party which hates government, wanted a destroyer so badly they ignored the threat of lasting repercussions

McCarthy is just another worm to be squashed if he pokes his head out of the dirt.

7. He has something on EVERY Reptilian, thanks to his pals Putin and Barr.

... and thanks to the fact that every Reptilian has something shady in their past to be afraid of. They are all slime.

[yellerpup]

9. Probably no more than his promotion in the House.

And now, that gangster type blackmail from the tfg. Ambition does dark things to folks.

[blm]

11. Putin has something on every Republican in position to

carry water for Russia.

[brush]

12. McCarthy probably doesn't want the phone records of Jan 6...

released because he most likely didn't say to trump: "Who do you think you're talking to?"

He probably talked to trump in an ass-kissery way, as per usual
