  1. This is why Bitcoin exists.

  2. Then you don't have an agreement.

  3. Ok Mr Speaker. God bless you and protect you.

  4. Tax the wealthy!! No tax cuts for them!!

  5. Progressive left will sink it.

    If they do, then the actual bill should include immediate, and mandatory, cuts in spending to limit additional deficits, and seriously reduce the new credit limit.

    The left had better get cozy with a much smaller government going forward.

    Much smaller.

  6. What is so controversial about programs that help the poor? The fact that he even said that is ridiculous.

  7. Can I add my Social Security payment to this month’s budget now 😅

  8. Kevin is a POS. The weakest speaker in history and now seriously playing with people's lives for political power.

  9. The agreement was signed and ratified by the states. It is called the constitution. If rapepublican’ts would stop burning books and even read a couple they would know that. OMFG!

  10. He has created Kaos for no reason other than to satisfy the speaker of the house, who is the puxxy grabbing conman

  11. How about an amendment in the debt ceiling bill to require a work requirement for the maga trators in the house.

  12. You cop out we’ll remember. Ik i ain’t the only tired one and I’m willing to cash that at the bank.

  13. Us voters will not forget what the Republicans were willing to do. They need to be voted out of office & never allowed in the majority again.

  14. There shouldn’t have been any negotiations, it’s literally in our constitution to pay the bills,. Biden a spineless I should never have taken the 14th amendment off the table what a coward

  15. Out of poverty into the workforce, more like forced to work. All the while more tax cuts for the RICH and more for the POWERFUL. They are the RICH and POWERFUL, whom serve a FEW other more RICH and POWERFUL and the FOREIGN interests of China,Saudi Arabia and Russia.

  16. I guess it's better than nothing but this had better be good.

  17. Nothing he says is of any interest to me, until he tries to explain why he's such a traitor as he is sent to prison for 20 to life!

  18. Who cares what this bought and paid for Industry puppet has to say?

  19. McCarthy not willing to tank his own portfolio…and too afraid that all his donations will turn to worst when their portfolios tank even worst. And they have way more too loose. Just gonna have to take one for the team this go around. Simple economic theory.

  20. What about all the billions $$$ on all the immigrants, are you going to cut back on that ??

  21. the dude said he would not be answering any questions and then gets hit with a barrage of them.

  22. If he breaches the contract he has with the Freedom Caucus ~ it's time for him to go.

  23. #mccarthydefaultcrisis #mccarthydefault #republicansAREtheproblem #republicandefaultcrisis unless Mccarthy passes a clean debt ceiling bill then he will be at fault for the damage done to our economy and the global economy. What a tiresome fool. I miss a real leader in the house. *edited for typo

  24. Y'all know this is a game right?

  25. McCarthy doing Donald's Dirty work now 💥 Deplorable! John McCain rolling over in his grave now 💥 Not his party ever 💥

  26. McCarthy needs to resign with Santos and lie's out of their clown ties everytime 👔🤡👔🤡🎪✔️.. Real american animals 🤮

  27. Go search interview with Katie Porter and expose's McCarthy's fraud 💥 Real truth facts!

  28. Disgusting lifetime career politicians have used America once again for their own personal gain

  29. He said put the people to work

  30. Why cut Pell grants and veteran benefits?

  31. Sounds more like Russian roulette, not a deal ? Nice way to govern ! Keep up the good work! Thanks again!

  32. The deal was crap probably,,the reason they want migrants here is because, if Mexico goes with brics currency then no more cheap labor for the middle class n the rich no more cheap labor to build the new house so I'm thinking where trying to bribe Mexico president into not going with brics ,u see Americans are government don't like us USA citizens, period they rather let America fall n homeless n crime than helping America ,after all this trump or de Santos one of them im voting for n get are government out n new government,,

  33. Did the hungry out of control media not here he said hes not taking any questions right now hello When they all start squacking like a bunch of chickens

  34. No Stonewalling! Vaguely
    At least Download but He
    Will Go to the House, try an
    Passing the Bill!

  35. McCarthy Vs Santos : Friday June 2 PPV, Winner takes om Donald Trump Jr and his mistress Kimberly Guilfoyle.

  36. When shall Marj QAnon replace Kevin McPuppet as House Speaker? Kev is hanging by a flimsy thread and Marj is his most likely successor. She has already practiced using the Speaker’s gavel and knows how to maintain control of the debates. Marj just has to call for “decorum” and the House Democrats cannot stop laughing. Works like magic!

  37. he didn't effing say anything

  38. It’s time for the US govt to install a third party — one that represents centrist interests.

  39. "Well – we'll just see what we'll just see." Under Siege. 1991.

  40. Bring Obama back and everything will be settled

  41. This doesn't mean s*** he still saying they're working on it I don't believe that they really came to an agreement there rewriting and adding more to the bill I think it's BS

  42. It is good to have a small and limited government and incentivize people to get a job

  43. Maybe stop giving all our money to illegals,and the Ukraine
