Youtube it up, he was the keynote speaker at the DNC in 2004. He was an unknown person, a state senator from Illinois, and just crushed it. It's probably not as impactful if you watch it now, need to keep in mind that it was the first time people heard him...but still it was pretty exceptional and the best speech I have seen.
I want to see the House Minority Leader speech..I didn't watch the later portion of House fiasco since I thought it would be another day or two..these people are like vampires, they do their best work sweating each other in the evening though.
I thought you were speaking of Jeffries when I realized it was Obama who was keynote Senator from Illinois..ohhhhhhh yes, I've watched..do you know they had plenty of tissues at polling for the General in 2008?
My daughter asked why I was crying while the poll workers handed out plenty of tissue..it was the first time she had been to an election..'why is voting making you cry mommy?'.

what a fucking gutless wonder...but there's only one real concerning thing in this whole pile of shit, which is their committee to investigate the "weaponization of the justice system"...AKA covering their asses in public, not even trying to hide that they're trying to impede investigations into themselves...that cannot stand. but the courts will deal with that shit, even the most brazen trump cocksucking judge can't let that kind of federal obstruction of justice pass, without being disbarred.
so in reality, they have a stupid agenda, with a gutless leader, and a bunch of frightened criminals trying desperately to cover their own asses...

Kevin McCarthy tries to ATTACK Jack Smith in SNEAKY RULES Change
58,317 views Jan 9, 2023
MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on one of the “rule change” concessions Kevin McCarthy gave to MAGA members to secure the speakership which includes gaining access to “ongoing criminal investigations” by the DOJ and FBI.
McCarthy is a RAT involved with J6. Some people say members of The House are going to be arrested for their part therein.
Oh look now!..there goes Hawley RAT.
I personally would love to visit Jack's war room..pics of targets and red string connecting them all.
Watching Jeffries speech is giving me flashbacks- keep the hands down..it's too Trumpy..just like Biden had to learn about how he comes off greeting young individuals..he's doing the accordion and too much hand action jumping up and down..I know why it's done but it makes me sea sick ugh!
The GOP can't even humble themselves for a few moments with their snarky comments..always have to be called to order. Shameful.

I wonder if any of these sub committee’s investigating the so called weaponization of government agencies will look into why Comey and McCabe ended up on the same audit list.

These dumb fucks will open up a world of hurt on themselves if they fuck with the DOJ and Jack. They will need to use the courts to do it and the court filings the DOJ will make will bring back memories of those top-secret photos and details at Mar-A-logo, as the DOJ attacks republican members on committees with court filings of why they should not subpoena so and so, etc.
They fear Jack, or should and going after his people will make him squeeze Mark Meadows nuts into a pulp, if he hasn't already. I think Jack wants congress people too, he won't stop with Trump and this will go on for a long time.

From: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2023/01/07/kevin-mccarthys-concessions-heres-what-he-gave-up-to-win-house-speakership/
McCarthy, who won the speakership after 15 rounds of voting, agreed to vote separately on the 12 different appropriation bills—from agriculture to defense spending to transportation—rather than allow them to be bundled together into an end-of-year omnibus spending bill.
The 12 separate votes were a key ask of far-right dissenters, after conservative House GOP members blasted the $1.65 trillion omnibus bill that passed the House last month, with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) telling Fox News the House rules should never allow a “horrendous omnibus bill to ever pass ever again.”
McCarthy also agreed to cap discretionary spending at the levels they were at the beginning of the Biden Administration for both defense and domestic spending, as part of a commitment to balance the federal budget within 10 years.
Several House Republicans, however, criticized the measure, which could reduce national defense spending by $75 billion, with Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), reportedly arguing it could back the government “into sequestration.”
In response to a letter from GOP members, McCarthy also agreed to create a subcommittee on the “Weaponization of the Federal Government,” which would be tasked with probing the federal government’s information collection on private individuals as well as its ongoing criminal investigations, potentially including the Department of Justice’s probe into classified documents at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate.
McCarthy also agreed to reinstitute the Holman rule, a law that allows for the reduction in government officials’ salaries and any other compensation paid by the U.S. Treasury.
In one of his biggest concessions, McCarthy agreed to lower the number GOP conference members needed to start a process of removing the speaker, known as a “motion to vacate,” from five to one—even though he previously said he wouldn’t budge on the number, and some Republicans worry it could bog down the House with weekly power struggles.
McCarthy also agreed to keep the Congressional Leadership Fund—a McCarthy affiliated super PAC—out of open House primary races for seats considered safe, and to appoint far-right House Freedom Caucus members to seats on the House Rules Committee.
Also: He promised to give House members 72 hours to review bills before they come to the floor, to require a vote to raise the federal debt limit and to hold votes on congressional term limits and a border security plan, multiple outlets reported.

It will also end up a disaster for the republicans with the tables turned on many with court filings detailing their involvement in J6. They will need to go to court to enforce anything or make the DOJ do anything, and that will be their downfall, expect a lot of show, smoke and mirrors and a lot of no shows at their hearings and little enforcement by them, if they are wise and apprehend the danger of going to court.
House Republicans are firing up the Jim Jordan show, and it's going to be ugly
Now that they’ve taken nearly a week to even choose a speaker, House Republicans are preparing to show their priorities for governing: personal attacks and efforts to dismantle the government, with sidelines in anti-abortion extremism, ruining the economy, and demonizing migrants.
Up first, creating a special Judiciary subcommittee addressing the “weaponization of the federal government,” by which they mean any federal efforts to stop Republicans from breaking laws. This would of course be a Jim Jordan joint, with Jordan—who will also be the chair of the full Judiciary Committee—getting an extra venue for his sweaty yapping. According to Rep. Chip Roy, in his increasingly desperate bids to gain votes for speaker, Kevin McCarthy promised that such a committee would get at least as much funding as the special committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Appearing on Fox News on Friday evening, Roy made clear that the plan was simply to harass the Biden administration with everything House Republicans can muster. “So we got more resources, more specificity, more power to go after this recalcitrant Biden administration,” he said. “That’s really important.”
House Republicans are intending to try to empower their special subcommittee to look into “ongoing criminal investigations,” because having a partisan group putting its nose into criminal investigations just screams “fair and impartial administration of justice.” The Justice Department is likely to fight those efforts in court.
Republicans keep comparing their plan to the Church Committee of the 1970s, which uncovered intelligence agency abuses by both Republican and Democratic administrations, but their goals are obviously very different. Rep. Jerrold Nadler had it right when he compared the planned committee “fueled by conspiracy theories and slated to be run by the most extreme members of the MAGA caucus” to the vile House Un-American Activities Committee of the 20th century.
Make no mistake, though: The key things Gym Jordan and his buddies are interested in here are hamstringing the Biden administration and hampering any investigations into lawbreaking by Donald Trump and his allies. In November, just before Election Day, Jordan released a stunt report angling for headlines, claiming that the FBI “spied on President Trump’s campaign and ridiculed conservative Americans” and that the “rot within the F.B.I. festers in and proceeds from Washington.” Sure sounds like he’s planning a careful, impartial investigation! That report also characterized the FBI’s seizure of Rep. Scott Perry’s cell phone, which was backed by a court-authorized warrant, as the FBI having “stalked a Republican Congressman while on a family vacation to seize his cell phone.”
And you know what? We don’t yet know that Republicans won’t put Perry himself on the committee to investigate the FBI having been mean to Scott Perry. Perry himself won’t rule out being on the committee.
“Why should I be limited—why should anybody be limited just because someone has made an accusation?” he said on ABC’s This Week, adding: “I get accused of all kinds of things every single day, as does every member that serves in the public eye. But that doesn’t stop you from doing your job. It is our duty and it is my duty.”
The plan is to go after the government for having refused to allow Republicans to attempt a coup without investigating the crimes committed in the process. And also to talk a lot about Hunter Biden’s laptop and/or penis. This is Republican governance. This is who they are.

Kevin can't afford to lose many seats and it looks like one might be gone with an indictment, Santos is toast and will be replaced by a democrat. How many more can go before Kevin looses control or the republicans loose the house?
