kevin mccarthy does not speak like a native english speaker. he has the oddest way of speaking and i feel like im the only one who ever notices it.

"It's very difficult that the President Biden makes a decision without talking to anybody." - actual quote from him today
and no, i didnt insert the "the." he does this all the time. i feel im going mad. he don't talk normal. i dont think its a california thing. he just doesn't speak like a typical american.

its weird!!!
i dont think or allege its anything sinister. he just doesn't speak like a typical american! or californian! i have no context for his sort of clipped accent and weird word choices.
i know i watch these people too much and i hear all of their verbal weirdness. but honestly mccarthy's drives me the most crazy because its not overt. its very subtle.

but weird.
yeah he'll say something like (not actual quote)

"we want to go strong, and to be strong, we must do work together. that is what we must all do."
its like an ai learning english and its almost good enough to get away with it.

ever notice how republicans are always giving democrats "advice" on how they should go forward? it was ridiculous when the govt was under gop control but now republicans are "advising" dems on how they could lose if they hold trump accountable. hilarious how that works out.
its like patrick mahomes sending tom brady some notes on how to win the super bowl.
its a phenomenon ive watched for over 20 years now. republicans lose the popular vote and the presidential vote, midterms, control of the house/senate, but theyre like "let me tell democrats how to win!"

One was a two term POTUS and the other is the current VPOTUS but go off king
I love goofy Ted Cruz upset that the first and only black POTUS/VPOTUS might be significant black history figures and they are unsurprisingly both Democrats. But "Tim Scott."

Wow I'm really shocked the grifting operation run by smear merchants turned out like this! nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The co-founder of this smeared Max Cleland, ran birther ads, and said me and my coworkers should be "curb stomped." I've been fucking on this for two years now. But way too many of you got excited about MSNBC appearances and ad buys on Fox to "troll" 45. Jesus.
Maybe next time you'll listen. (You won't)

"Mr President sir you have to rest! You've been awake for 96 straight hours!"

"I cannot. I have to sign documents to get vaccines to my people!!!"

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Madam Vice President are the vaccines out?"

"The machines are churning sir but we still need more vaccine"

"Then we vow not to sleep until all the vaccines are out."

"It is a blood bond Mr President"

RELENTLESS ⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

a lot of this impeachment trial is feeding into liberals who understandably want someone to "make the case" vs the last potus and then have A VERDICT rendered on him being bad.

and just to be clear: none of that is going to happen.
he should def be called to account, its just you're not going to get the appropriate ending. ever.

signed,
the guy who is still waiting on bush to even stand trial for something
the closest you're ever gonna get is this.

impeachment trial making me think about the value of stories/narratives that load up a story from beginning to end. last four years have been a lot of stories thrown out there without something connecting them all and you end up forgetting it.
ive had a project ive been noodling about with for years in this vein...
yes we have books that do a lot of this, and some things get big enough to have a wikipedia entry, but theres a lot of stuff inbetween that just kind of floats off into the ether.
