Speaker Mike Johnson Colludes With Democrats To Raid Medicare

Rather than even trying to negotiate with conservatives, GOP leaders just moved lock, stock, and barrel to collude with the left.

I had hopes a page was turned but it’s looking like it’s still the same old story.

I doubt there are many that have any real interest in changing things

Republicans? Agreed. The democrats have consistently pushed the evelope for decades. Except for gun rights in red states, has there been anything the left hasn’t won on since the 20 years?

Same old garbage.

Maybe it's too late for the Senate. But I think we need to pound our representatives with complaints and demands. They better not vote for this **** if they want a political future. Find people to primary these ********ers. No more. Done.

 

[Cynical]

In all fairness,there does need to be a little bit of reality applied to the situation.

Speaker Johnson had little time to work through 12 actual Bills. That was realistically never going to happen in the time left. If he simply allows the government to be shut down, the left is the winner of a propaganda windfall.

Short CR's to keep things nominally running until real budgets can be negotiated are I believe a reasonable outcome.

His actual performance will be in what those negotiated budgets actually look like, and next year's Bills. If They resemble the CR's then nothing was gained by changing speakers. If they begin to pull back then something was gained

This is much Like the hand ringing regarding his comment on the Biden Impeachment. Frankly what good would it do? There are not enough votes in the Senate to convict.

Half a dozen Ukrainians could stand on the senate floor with their hands-on a Bible swearing that Biden personally picked up a multimillion-dollar check for very specific quid pro quo and you couldn't get a conviction in the senate.

This nation doesn't need another dog and pony show for a media which doesn't care.

What we need are actual empowered special prosecutors, Charges of treason, corruption, convictions, and executions. I'll get excited when they ask me to donate wood for the gallows to hang those who sold out the United States of America by committing treason, bribery, and violating the enumerated rights of it's citizens.

Impeachment Is a political tool. There is more than enough public evidence of criminal behavior to cuff and stuff a bunch of this administration for criminal activity. That is where the effort needs to go.

I agree with everything you said, however with the two tiered justice system and I believe that the 535 presidents in waiting have dirt on them held by somebody else it will be a zero sum gain. I have lost all faith in good men. We are living in a Banana republic. I fully believe we will look like Venezuela before the dust settles. There are too many overlapping alphabet agencies that will never expose the bad deeds of the miscreants in Washington.

Hell yes, I’m on board. I’m not a very connected guy so to speak but I do know a few elected officials in my county. I have reached out to the two that I thought might be good candidates for higher office and they want no part of it. Also, if the R’s in charge don’t think they are electable or don’t fit the mold they don’t get any funding. I’m feeling like somebody is screwed here and I hope it’s not us.

Glad we have RINOs. Guess it’s better to vote for them over the alternative…

If you are in congressional House district 5 vote for Charles Bookwalter in the primary. Representative Baird is, to be charitable, weak on governance in accordance with the Constitution.

Look into getting onto your counties Republican precinct committee. In many areas that committee is the gateway to ever getting on about. If you want to sway the Republican party toward constitutionalism, and constitutionalist candidates, having the precinct committees loaded with those who will only vote for constitutionalist potential candidates is where it will start.

House passes NDAA as members leave town, angering conservatives in the process - Washington Examiner

The House passed the annual National Defense Authorization Act on Thursday, before its members leave for the year, angering many conservatives who feel as though Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) caved in negotiations. However, much like when then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) passed bipartisan...

Just another McCarthy but with Bible verses as @GodFearinGunTotin said.

 

[indyblue]

Another .8 trillion down the drain along with our rights.

 

[jwamplerusa]

We're doomed. Even if there are decent constitutionalist candidates in 2024, it's too late.

It’s uncertain if he started out that way. Maybe he was lured in by money. Maybe he was threatened. Maybe he was never in it for the sake of America. Maybe the reason he got the votes to become speaker, the chamber-o-commerce/neocons knew something no one else did. Or maybe even the so called “freedom caucus” is a farce and in on the whole thing. A distraction.

FUND THE ******* BORDER !!!!! Bunch of worthless mother******s

 

[Tombs]

He should be swiftly kicked to the curb as a reminder to the next guy that we aren't going to put up with this uniparty ******** anymore.

If it takes going through every last politician in this country to find a speaker who won't bend over for a check, then that's what's necessary.

I called him a snake on day one, anyone posturing with their religion that heavily is obvious.

What was Johnson supposed to do? Republicans need to be VERY united with a tight majority. The House and Senate and WH must agree. It’s not a unilateral solution. Curious how you get an all or nothing solution with one edge of the triangle.
