Republicans buckle down for what could be marathon blockade [View all]

Fasten your seat belts my friends, it's going to be a very bumpy ride. House Republicans are furious at Speaker McCarthy for the Debt Ceiling deal and threatening MUTINY. Which means, the House Freedumb caucus will refuse to govern. Talk about ONE BIG FUCKING MESS Kevin has on his hands!

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is racing to break the lower chamber deadlock triggered this week by disgruntled conservatives, but rank-and-file members aren’t holding their breath for a resolution.

A number of House Republicans left Washington on Thursday warning the sides remain so far apart that it might require weeks — maybe longer — to get the House back to working order.

The conservatives are furious with McCarthy’s handling of last month’s debt ceiling negotiations, which led to a deal with President Biden loathed by GOP hard-liners who think the Speaker caved too easily on the Republicans’ deficit reduction demands.
