“We look forward to every member voting their conscience and their desire, and that is exactly how this process is supposed to work and how the house is supposed to operate,” Johnson told reporters on Friday after passing a rules bill. “So we’re happy to provide that.”

Because they all get a ‘secure briefing’ wherein they are told to do what the uniparty wants, and get rich, or bad things will happen to their family - or so I’ve heard.

R’s are SO Bad at politics, the only hope is for the D’s to overplay their hand so bad, that people devastated due to policies, revolt. This is what we have as a Party.

170 million Americans have downloaded the TikTok App. There's going to be widespread backlash against the politicians behind the ban, both Republican and Democrat.

If Donald Trump is smart, he would use this against Joe Biden, especially since he's going to sign the TikTok ban. That's a good way of getting the Gen Z vote.

It’s called “The Stupid Party” for a reason...

Exhibit A for term limits and an ‘up or out’ policy.

Life is easier for Republicans under Biden in 2024. They hate Trump that much. We R’s will be Congress criminals and take 20% of the graft you D’s can take the 80%.

We expect our Congress to act in a unified matter about foreign affairs, and used to remember that politics stops at the border.

The idea that bipartisanship is unacceptable is corrosive to the operation of the Constitutional Republic we all claim to revere and support. The Founders certainly didn’t see it that way. At best, it’s misguided.

Rats would push thorough denial of secret service to Trump; that’s why Johnson has to finish out the year.
