#ClintEastwood turned 93 yesterday; a 🧵on Spaghetti Westerns, Clint's role in 'Per un Pugno di Dollari' (A Fistful of Dollars) and the subversive after-effects of the film that re-defined the Western. #ClintEastwood93today Image
In the summer of 1964, a TV actor who starred in a prime time Western serial was looking for distraction in films. The show was 'Rawhide', and its star Clint Eastwood, who played the impulsive, sometimes hot-tempered, but generally sweet-natured 'Rowdy Yates' felt he’d stagnated. Image
So, at 34, Eastwood decided upon a risky gamble: take a leap into the unknown by imposing trust in an obscure Italian director named Sergio Leone and travel to Rome to do an obscure “European Western” called 'Per un Pugno di Dollari.' Image

📣 Thread on the recent debt ceiling deal between President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The agreement brings new details to light. Do you agree or disagree with the deal? Here's a non-biased breakdown of the key components. 👇 #DebtCeiling #Biden #McCarthy Image
2/13
The cornerstone of the agreement is a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling, allowing the government to continue borrowing and pay its bills on time, if Congress passes the agreement by June 5th. #DebtCeiling #Congress Image

In exchange for suspending the limit, Republicans demanded policy concessions from Mr. Biden, such as limits on federal discretionary spending growth and new work requirements for certain food stamps and Temporary Aid for Needy Families program recipients. #PolicyChanges Image

I was waiting for the results of the 14th vote on #Speaker when I saw Kevin #McCarthy walking toward us.

Within seconds, a confrontation and fight broke out. Just a few feet from me, a newly elected member eager to get sworn in and start a job I’ve dreamed of doing for years.
It all happened on the floor of the House of Representatives, in the waning moments of #January6th and the second anniversary of the violent attack on our Capitol.

The whole thing made me sick to my stomach.
What we witnessed was such selfish, chaotic behavior - and by the very people who would take the reins of the House moments later.

These are the folks in charge now.

Für diejenigen, die #Politik in den #USA nicht regelmäßig verfolgen, eine kurze Einordnung zu Kevin #McCarthy, der gerade im 15. Anlauf (awkward) zum Sprecher des Repräsentantenhauses gewählt worden ist. McCarthy gilt als Vertreter des "moderaten" Flügels der #GOP - im
Gegensatz zum (komplett frei drehenden) Rechtsaußenflügel um Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt #Gaetz, Lauren #Boebert, Ted #Cruz usw.
In diesem Kontext ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass McCarthy absolut nicht mit moderaten Konservativen der Vor-Trump-Zeit vergleichbar ist, etwa
Senator John McCain oder auch nur George W. Bush (der allerdings aus anderen Gründen - *räusper* Irak, Folter *räusper* - ziemlich radikal war). Denn McCarthy hat sich wie kaum jemand sonst für seine eigenen Ambitionen in den Dienst Trumps und seines autokratischen Projekts

The Grave of Nations

Pg 1: As #McCarthy chips away at holdouts in congress, know this; those republicans who held out and then gave in, most likely compromised their demands because they got something individually good for themselves (typically money related) not the nation.
Pg 2: This is what defines a Republican vs a Democrat and conservatives vs liberals. Democrats put ideology and party first, & what’s best for the nation last. Republicans put money, ego & party first, & what’s best for the nation last.
Pg 3. The key word in that mix is ideology. The democrats have an ideological glue (albeit evil) that binds them together, while the republicans as a party have no ideology, love of country or dedicated mission to serving the Constitution strong enough to be their cohesive glue.

A reminder, as we are entering Day 4 of this mess: The new @USDemocracyPod is out, with a deep dive into the Republican chaos in the House - the background, the historical context, the implications for the GOP and the country going forward. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/9-c…
We must now go back to the 1830s to 1850s to find precedent for the number of failed votes. As I said on the pod, this doesn’t mean the situation is *just like* right before the Civil War, as there is no such thing as “just like” in history. But things certainly aren’t great.
We recorded in-between failed vote 3 and 4 - but I believe everything we say very much holds up: How to explain it, what the fault lines are, why it’s misleading to present the #McCarthy camp as “moderates” and only the rebels as “extremists.”

1/ This fight over @GOPLeader isn't really about McCarthy (though for some of the 20 it is). What this is about is the pending #debt ceiling fight likely in February. Here's what's going on (a thread)...
@GOPLeader 2/ 'Twas the night before Xmas (not exactly but close enough) & all thru the night, lobbyists were skulking the decorated hall of Congress, looking for handouts for their special interests. Everyone on Capitol Hill wanted to go home for the holidays so, w/o much debate,
@GOPLeader 3/ A group of elected officials pushed through a $1.7 Trillion spending bill w/o debate or even so much of a "Dear Colleague" letter. It was imperious. What upset some on the Hill the most was that the spending bill was chock full of goodies for Left-wing special interests.

We are witnessing a historic spectacle in the House. Join us for a deep dive into the Republican inability to elect a speaker: How to explain it, what the fault lines are, why it’s misleading to present the #McCarthy camp as “moderates” and only the rebels as “extremists.”
Also: Whatever happened to “moderate” Republicans? We look at the case of Elise Stefanik and reflect on the lure of Trumpism, the relationship between opportunism and ideology, and the personal dynamics of a radicalization that is shifting the GOP ever further to the right.

1. Watching #McCarthy humiliated I try to not forget the people doing it to him are insurrectionists. McCarthy deserves it because he touched a coup conspiracy. We need to harshly judge any member who voted to overturn an election in a show of support for a violent coup attempt.
2. The 14th Amendment bans the members who voted yea on Jan 6 who were re-elected from being sworn an act that will further desecrate the Capitol. Traitors like Gaetz, Boebert, Taylor-Green and Perry should not be sworn.
3. I think a motion to disqualify them might be in order. What do we know about the other insurgents? Were others involved in the coup? If we're going to have all day GOP Schadenfreude let's make it really good. Change the floor activity to huge disqualification motion.
