Apparently McCarthy was no match for the corrupt, diaper-wearing, cracked, child-sniffing mental patient.
RINOs will pass a do-nothing bill saying they don’t want 87,000 IRS agents knowing it’s DOA in the Senate
But when they actually have the leverage to get it done, they concede and keep 98% of the new IRS agents
They think we’re stupid

McCarthy’s debt-ceiling deal with Biden comes up short on his vow to reign in IRS
By Miranda Devine, NY Post, May 28, 2023:Story continues below advertisementKevin McCarthy trumpeted a debt-ceiling deal Sunday, but increasing debt another $4 trillion with minimal concessions is nothing to boast about.
To be fair, the House speaker has a razor slim majority and Republicans don’t control the Senate, where Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his sidekick Lindsey Graham have announced that the only thing they care about is Ukraine.
But McCarthy’s one dealbreaker should have been his promise to defund President Biden’s massive $80 billion to turbocharge an already weaponized IRS.
This was the totemic centerpiece of his pitch to become speaker.
It was the most memorable promise of the Republicans’ midterm campaign to win back the House.
It struck a chord with voters, wary of funding a new “army” of armed IRS agents to harass middle-class families and small business owners and abuse their powers to target political dissidents, Soviet-style.
“Our very first bill will repeal the funding for 87,000 new IRS agents,” McCarthy vowed.
“You see, we believe government should be to help you, not go after you.”
Sure enough, the House voted 221-210 to repeal the extra IRS funding.
“Promises made,” the newly minted speaker said Jan. 9, banging the gavel on the first bill of the Republican-controlled House.
What about promises kept?
In the debt-ceiling deal outlined Sunday and due to be inked later this week, McCarthy has allowed the lion’s share of that extra IRS funding to remain unmolested: preserving $78.1 billion of the $80 billion.
Overpromising and underdelivering is what turns voters off the GOP.
You don’t mount a powerful six-month fear campaign about 87,000 new, armed IRS agents ready to break down people’s doors, and then meekly capitulate at the first sign of resistance.
Even if those fears were exaggerated, your credibility rests on delivering a lot more than 2% of what you promised.
In any case the fears about a weaponized IRS targeting Biden’s opponents are very real.
If anything, the IRS is worse today than it was during the Obama administration, when Lois Lerner presided over the targeted harassment of Tea Party groups and other conservatives.
Not a single IRS employee was held accountable for the scandal. Lerner retired on a full pension without even a slap on the wrist.
This is the same IRS which went after journalist Matt Taibbi last December, three weeks after he started reporting on the so-called “Twitter Files,” which revealed that censorship on the social-media platform had been coordinated by federal government agencies such as the FBI and CIA.

This is why we must have TERM LIMITS.10 months agoTraitors.
10 months agoRino McC needs to be removed as speaker asap.
10 months agoOnce a RINO always a RINO. Mccarthy should have never have been voted in as the house speaker. He is a traitor to the people and always has been. Have no idea why Trump endorsed him. Mccarthy is useless and always has been. Where are the “staunch republicans”, have they become soft?
10 months agoHow is it the GOP doesnt get it that the armed 87,000 IRS agents were hired to seize at gun point all cash that is made illegal when Biden moves America to electric currency.
10 months agoReply to MD AnthonyThey should start with ALL “Non-Profit Foundations” set up by any and all politicians..!! Go after THAT..!!
10 months agoIt proves what people with working brains have known for a long time:
The decent, the educated, the intelligent among Americans make up a tiny fraction of the population.Standing next to no chance of surviving in their rapidly decaying and degrading environment – they are being worn down and swept away by a mob unprecedented in scale and ruthlessness in history.
My recommendation for this tiny minority:
Pack your bags, sell your properties, empty your accounts, and emigrate.
There are still a few countries where it is worthwhile and possible to lead a decent life that is relatively safe for families, just apply for asylum.10 months agoReply to Jeanne BallardAustria – Bulgaria – Cabo Verde – Hungary – Iceland – India – Indonesia – Japan – Malaysia – Malta – Namibia – Philippines – Portugal – Romania – Singapore – South Korea – Switzerland – Vietnam and more.
And Russia is for sure the safest country for the next decades…10 months agoBiden is stating on TV that the deal is ‘his’. Trump stated last week: “Default.. sooner or later.” Words of wisdom.
10 months agoTime to get rid of McCarthy for not following the deal that was discussed to get the speakership. Why are the American people surprised at the constant betrayal from the uni-party? It has been happening for a long time.
I hope that all the evil people that have sold the nation out burn in Hell!
10 months agoJust the first of many times to come!
10 months agoIs anyone really surprised? They all belong to the same club of devil worshiping freemasons. Their day is fast approaching.
10 months agoDon’t worry those IRS agents will squeeze enough casheesh outta us to keep the country solvent for another 6 months.
10 months agoI said right from the start that Mac would eventually disappoint. He is not a committed Conservative. He just made himself look good at the beginning to fool everyone. And that did work. I wonder if he is taking any payment for his betrayal?
10 months agoAnyone surprised?
10 months agoIt as disturbing when Trump endorsed him. I hope he backtracks quickly.
10 months agoI have not given money to the Republicans for years, I donate to individuals but that is over now too. It really makes no difference since the few good ones are so outnumbered they are banging their head against a brick wall. I think the only answer is just to let the whole country collapse, root out the subversive, evil, demonic lunatics and start over, provided we are not taken over by china when the country disintegrates.
