Legendarily uncourageous Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is on extremely thin ice with his Orange Master these days after his foolish questioning of his Orange Master’s 2024 electability last month led to a hasty promise to take up the moronic Trump impeachment “expungement” resolution (or resolutions) before the end of the August session to placate him, a promise McCarthy isn’t definitely going to be able to keep given the tight schedule, Politico Playbook reports.
Worse yet, it’s far from a sure thing that any “expungement(s)” could actually pass. Right off the bat there are still two Republicans in the House that voted to impeach the fat fuck in January 2021, leaving really only a three-vote margin which could very disappear given there are 18 GOP members in Biden-won districts and potentially dozens more “constitutionally-minded” and otherwise moderate-ish representatives resistant to the legality and political propriety of the batshit plan.
“I’m for Trump. The problem is: If you have an expungement, and it goes to the floor and fails – which it probably will – then the media will treat it like it’s a third impeachment, and it will show disunity among Republican ranks. It’s a huge strategic risk,” one “senior GOP member” told Playbook.
Still the clock’s ticking on Kev, as Donald brings it up on every call with the hapless cuck. “Meanwhile, in Trump’s inner circle, frustration with McCarthy is boiling. The former president and his team think the speaker should have endorsed him months ago, and are befuddled that he has not,” Playbook writes, adding that there “will be consequences” if the vote doesn’t happen soon.
