Kevin McCarthy Can’t Be Speaker Of The House Cos He’s A TRAITOR!
GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy wants to replace Nancy Pelosi as next Speaker of the House. On the one hand, it’s nice that incompetent, talentless toads like Kevin aspire to big things.

Vladimir Putin Is Waaaaay More Russia’s “Head Gangster” Than Russia’s “Head Of State”
Only in America – in America’s news media – is Vladimir Putin any sort of “legitimate head of state”. But then, for context, America’s news media still thinks of (and treats) the Republican Party as legitimate actors in American politics.
