MCCARTHY AGREES TO SUPPORT PUTIN’S WAR AGAINST UKRAINE AND TO DEFAULT ON THE DEBT IN ORDER TO BECOME SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

By jason330 January 6, 20236 Comments

That headline is from LGM. I don't think it is hyperbole. He gave away a lot. It looks like Putin and people who want the United States to default and crash the world economy (because that is bad for Biden) won. Of course President Manchin (WV) could have taken the debt ceiling thing off the table, but empowering shitheads and creeps is the new big thing in Washington.
