He sounds like Lenny Kravitz talking his relationship with Prince.
Now, I know the dudes jammed once. And Lenny showed up to play "American Woman" on the 1999 concert DVD. But Lenny says
* They jammed ALL THE TIME
* They recorded songs together that have never been heard
* Prince had Lenny sing back-up on lots of released songs but they agreed to never gave Lenny credit
* They'd watch comedies at Prince's house all the time (that one I can kind of buy)
* Lenny's manager beat Prince in ping-pong (no one beat Prince in ping pong)
* Prince could not believe Lenny got his guitar tone without the use of pedals
* Prince would take Lenny to the studio when Michael Jackson was recording, and they'd poke good-natured fun at Michael while he was singing, and then all three would hang out together
I love Lenny but I'm not sure much of what he said really happened.
The correct first-person pronoun here is "me", not "I". This is a shibboleth of sorts. I lay odds at about 20:1 that Qevin has never learned a second language, and that he doesn't know much about English, either.
"McCARTHY: He’d always go with the cards, right? So what I learned early on, he has to read from them, and once he starts reading, I’d always interject! And then he didn’t know what to do, and he would stumble, and then he would close it and just stop! And then Kamala would have to start talking! So it was a play I used every time!"
Yeah, right, Pres Biden stumbled every time MyKevin interrupted him. I'm curious if Kev has the same opinion of the Fulvous Flatulence. There is no need for interjecting into a discussion with the Mango Malignancy for him to stumble. The MAGA oberste Fuhrer is incapable of completing one sentence without five non sequiturs being tossed in. Plus, at least half of the time the Goldenrod Grotesqueness is actually babbling incoherently. (Another projection, when he calls Mr Biden "senile.")
I'm curious as to the number of times (as he counts them) McCarthy met with Pres Biden and Veep Harris was also there. Here's an example of the bovine scat McCarthy is spreading:
I don't have the time to do it myself, but I'd be interested in seeing a Venn Diagram consisting of three circles: Pres Biden, Veep Harris, and speaker McCarthy -- hell, strike "speaker" and make it anytime between 20 Jan, 2021 and his last days of infamy.

I look forward the the Presidential Debates when Sleepy Joe wipes the floor with the Cadmium Orange Cancer. The asshat's usual tricks will fall flat, or are already taken care of in the terms of the debates. He can stalk Mr Biden for the entire time they're on stage and try to glare strong enough to burn a hole in the back of Biden's head, but Pres Biden is too experienced a debater for either of these to have any effect. And the established and agreed upon rules include turning off one's mic when their allotted time is up, so he won't have the ability to try and talk over his opponent when it's Mr Biden's turn to speak (a tactic he has used so effectively in the past).
And I'll bet dollars to donuts that no matter how poorly the Sandstone Snowflake does -- and he will perform badly since he can't resort to his standard tactics -- he will declare victory.
Not that I believe any of that’s true (or, if it’s true, the context is deliberately disingenuous). But I do like the idea that, at some point, Biden broke into a huge grin in front of his staff and said, “Y’know, McCarthy’s coming over tomorrow. How about we fuck with him a bit?”
"McCARTHY: And then we walk back up, and he’s created this room outside of the Oval Office to be a little office for him! Now, President Trump had it as a gift shop."
This make so much sense:
"Thank you for visiting me. I always love meeting the seller of the most Girl Scout Cookies. Now just exit through the gift shop and make sure to pick up several boxes of Trump Mints, Trumpfoils, Trump-a-longs or Trump-si-Trump cookies. They are the best cookies that China can make! And you don't have to put up with some snot nose kid who is probably a Democrat selling them to you, so all the profits goes to somone deserving: me!"
"McCARTHY: No, but why didn’t they clean it up? I don’t know where he’s changing, and then we come walking back in, I”m thinking, please don’t show this to any other world leader!"
Of course not. It's just a shirt. Not say, cofidential military secrets or anything!
"No, but why didn’t they clean it up? I don’t know where he’s changing, and then we come walking back in, I”m thinking, please don’t show this to any other world leader!"
Any "OTHER" world leader? So does Qevin think he was a world leader? God, he couldn't even get a bunch of drooling moron, Republicans to fall in line. That doesn't sound like a leader to me.
> Frankly, we’re at a loss as to “President Trump had it as a gift shop,” which surely we would have heard by now if it were true, and also does anyone for even a second doubt that it is?
I suspect that "shop" is being used loosely; TFG probably had a bunch of co-branded POTUS/Trump swag that he'd let people pick from, or give them as souvenirs.
Of course there is a small office adjacent to the oval office. That's where Joe takes the republicans to beat the shit out of them until they agree to the democratic legislation. Joe takes his shirt off so he doesn't get blood on it. McCarthy left that part out .
> Now, the Oval Office has always had a little study and dining room off of it, which presidents have always used for more informal things, but Fox News viewers don’t have access to modern conveniences like Wikipedia to learn that.
FFS, they referenced that in "The American President", just shy of thirty years ago!
Found a quote from The American President that I liked (I've never seen the movie. I plan to eventually). Reminds me of Quev and his ilk
President Andrew Shepherd: Look, if the people want to listen to...
Lewis Rothschild: They don't have a choice! Bob Rumson is the only one doing the talking! People want leadership, Mr. President, and in the absence of genuine leadership, they'll listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They want leadership. They're so thirsty for it they'll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand.
President Andrew Shepherd: Lewis, we've had presidents who were beloved, who couldn't find a coherent sentence with two hands and a flashlight. People don't drink the sand because they're thirsty. They drink the sand because they don't know the difference.
Who is Kevin now? Like, not even a member of congress. Just some retired schmuck. Maybe he could get a job in the county clerk's office so he can be a jerk to anyone who wants to change their name.
He sounds like Lenny Kravitz talking his relationship with Prince.

wouldn't a gift shop make more sense in an area accessible to the public? that room doesn't seem like it would be?
unless it was a room of "gifts" (national secrets) for a more "select clientele" (any foreign agent that tells Trump he is a big smart boy).
<<McCARTHY: Between you and I...>>
The correct first-person pronoun here is "me", not "I". This is a shibboleth of sorts. I lay odds at about 20:1 that Qevin has never learned a second language, and that he doesn't know much about English, either.
What do you expect from someone who graduated from Bakersfield High? Earl Warren? :)
Ta, Evan. I'd be shocked if/when a Republican who is not out of office (Kinzinger, Cheney) told the truth; the unvarnished pure truth.
"McCARTHY: He’d always go with the cards, right? So what I learned early on, he has to read from them, and once he starts reading, I’d always interject! And then he didn’t know what to do, and he would stumble, and then he would close it and just stop! And then Kamala would have to start talking! So it was a play I used every time!"

"As part of a series of meetings with congressional leaders, President Biden hosted Speaker McCarthy in the Oval Office this afternoon, where they had a frank and straightforward dialogue." https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/02/01/readout-of-president-bidens-meeting-with-speaker-mccarthy/
This meeting occurred on 1 Feb 2023, and there is no way that Harris attended the meeting; she was at the funeral for Tyre Nichols in Memphis:
"There she was standing at the podium during the funeral of Tyre Nichols. Vice President Kamala Harris was in Memphis — three weeks ago — representing the White House at the Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church" https://www.wgbh.org/news/commentary/2023-02-20/kamala-harris-has-nearly-disappeared-into-the-background
I don't have the time to do it myself, but I'd be interested in seeing a Venn Diagram consisting of three circles: Pres Biden, Veep Harris, and speaker McCarthy -- hell, strike "speaker" and make it anytime between 20 Jan, 2021 and his last days of infamy.

Kevin McCarthy is a fucking liar.
Not that I believe any of that’s true (or, if it’s true, the context is deliberately disingenuous). But I do like the idea that, at some point, Biden broke into a huge grin in front of his staff and said, “Y’know, McCarthy’s coming over tomorrow. How about we fuck with him a bit?”

Give?
Trump monetizes everything (being POTUS was all about the rich opportunities for grift). There is NO WAY any "swag" was being given away free.
I'm guessing it's where they dispensed the narcotics
and left over fast food hamburders
Of course there is a small office adjacent to the oval office. That's where Joe takes the republicans to beat the shit out of them until they agree to the democratic legislation. Joe takes his shirt off so he doesn't get blood on it. McCarthy left that part out .

Shepherd wasn't wrong. See: GWB, DJT.
Precisely my point.
This is how I pictured that exchange between McCarthy, Watters and Wonkette:

Who is Kevin now? Like, not even a member of congress. Just some retired schmuck. Maybe he could get a job in the county clerk's office so he can be a jerk to anyone who wants to change their name.
If you want to be really nice to him, you can refer to him as Mr. McCarthy.
