“If somebody wants to make a motion against me, bring it,” McCarthy told CNN’s Manu Raju at a press conference. “There has to be an adult in the room. I am going to govern with what’s best for this country.”
Let’s all remember that the ONLY FUCKING REASON this came to a head is because McCarthy IS NOT A FUCKING ADULT. It was willing to let a HANDFUL blackmail him to shutdown the government by threatening to oust him as Speaker.
That’s not being an adult.

Nancy Pelosi never required the acceptance of a handful of Representatives. Not once did she bow down to the demands of a few to carry on the business of government.
Hell, she didn’t let the executive browbeat her.
McCarthy is a chihuahua who barks at anything and everything but in the end is still just a little dog on a leash.
You know WHY much of what the Democrats passed in the House never was voted on in the Senate?
Mitch McConnell. As majority leader he set the calendar of what bills would be voted on and which he would kill by inaction. He killed MOST of the Democratic bills by never scheduling them for a vote.
He is the most undemocratic and anti-American politician — he has wielded absurd power, allowed corruption, and has excused undemocratic actions.

He’s just been devastating to democracy in this country. Just how much potential good he’s killed dead and how much repugnance he’s successfully pulled off.
The mind reels…
