He cuts a deal and keeps the government open, putting a band aid over the bleeding wound that is the Republican House Caucus. So at least he's not as bad as then-President McKinley, of whom TR once said: "McKinley has no more backbone than a chocolate eclair."
And now, predictably, Matt Gaetz has said he will, indeed, file a "motion to vacate" the Speaker's chair, IOW start the process to fire McCarthy. From The NY Times:
"Mr. McCarthy shrugged off the threat, predicting that Mr. Gaetz’s effort to remove him would fail and was motivated by a petty grudge rather than a substantive dispute.

“I’ll survive. You know this is personal with Matt,” he said during an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” accusing Mr. Gaetz of being “more interested in securing TV interviews than doing something. He wanted to push us into a shutdown.”

“So be it, bring it on. Let’s get over with it and let’s start governing,” Mr. McCarthy added. “If he’s upset because he tried to push us into a shutdown and I made sure the government didn’t shut down, then let’s have that fight.”

Mr. Gaetz had long threatened to oust Mr. McCarthy for going back on several promises he made to Republican hard-liners to win their support to become speaker, including demands for deep spending cuts. In the interview, he accused Mr. McCarthy of lying to his G.O.P. members during spending negotiations, and making a “secret deal” with Democrats concerning funding for Ukraine, which he and dozens of other conservative Republicans have opposed.

“Nobody trusts Kevin McCarthy,” he added, predicting that the only way Mr. McCarthy would remain speaker by week’s end is “if Democrats bail him out.”

Goddamn McCarthy. It’s time to end the dog and pony show with Ukraine. It’s just bullshit to launder money to Democrats, and prolong an unnecessary war that never would have happened if Trump was still in the White House.

It's so much fun to listen to Willy when he reverts to total lunacy.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is as usual right! 😤 🤯 — Icky’s head when he reads this 😂😂

Right on time! It's MO! Where's the third Stooge?
In 5...4...3...2...

Russia only engages in acts of territorial expansion when a Dem is in the White House. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 when Obama was in office and Russia invaded the rest of Ukraine in 2022 when Biden was in office. Putin did nothing like this when Trump was in the White House. That’s because Putin feared Trump. He doesn’t fear Biden and he didn’t fear Obama. Why would he? At their core, Democrats are pussies. If they had any balls they wouldn’t be Democrats.

Answer: George W. Bush. Wasn't he a Republicunt?
And who was Prez in 1992 when Russia invaded Moldova? Oh! That was Dubya's Dad! Wasn't he a Republicunt?
I'm going to assume you were just lazy and ignorant on this one, Willy. So I'm not going to call you a liar.
But I could.

And the conflict in Georgia had been ongoing since 1992. The Russia Georgia war was trigger when NATO offered Georgia membership. At the time the US was bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan and Dubya certainly didn’t have the support from the public to start another war in the middle of the economy blowing up.  

 
Regardless, my point remains. Putin obeyed when Trump was in office, because the entire world saw Trump as unpredictable and too risky to challenge. Ukraine would still be at peace today if Trump was still in office.

And your next point refers only to "Russia." Then you FINALLY got around to mentioning Putin.
After that you get things completely backwards about Trump and Putin. The latter proved at Helsinki that he OWNS Trump. We already know Trump lied during the 2016 campaign when he said he had no dealings with Russian when, in fact, he was negotiating to built a Trump-branded tower in Moscow.

I’m sure Russia also tried to expand their territory at some point when a Republican was in office. I was careless and sloppy with my language. I figured since Dems mostly bitch about Putin instead of Russia, we’d be on the same page. Since we’re talking Ukraine and not Georgia or Poland or Japan we’d be on the same page. Since we’re talking this century and not the last century we’d be on the same page.  

 
But fair enough, I will amend my words. When Trump was in office, Russia didn’t invade Ukraine. Putin did invade Ukraine when Obama and Biden was in office. If Trump was still in office, Ukraine would be at peace.

But I also rebutted your statement the first time that Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if Trump was in office. If that's true how come Trump SUPPORTED the invasion? From Politico -- and don't impeach the source, the quotes are exactly what he said:
"Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday described Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as “genius” and “savvy,” praising his onetime counterpart for a move that has spurred sanctions and universal condemnation from the U.S. government and its trans-Atlantic allies.

“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful,” Trump said in a radio interview with “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.” “He used the word ‘independent’ and ‘we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.’ You gotta say that’s pretty savvy.”

Trump never heard of Ukraine until Putin invaded it. Trump’s an idiot. He probably thinks Saskatchewan is a French desert. And the problem with very angry very stupid people is that they’re unpredictable. They might just eat a hamburger or they might take a shit and leave it in your glove box. You never know. Guess what happens when you give an angry idiot nuclear weapons? You have no idea, but whatever you do you either kiss his ass or keep your head down. I mean if he wanted to nuke hurricanes, then what do you think he’ll do to you if he notices you causing problems?
