What a tacky way to interpret what Trump said.
I don’t understand why Mike Johnson allowed that criminally pork-loaded budget to go forward and questioned his intelligence, but Trump knows him better than I do.
Yes I do.
I’m not interpreting anything Trump said.
One thing the Democrats do well is conform. Maybe it's because they don't believe in anything but power, but the MAGAs need to stick together; it's vitally important.
When the 116 page bill with Trump's caveat was voted down, Schumer said they should go back to the 1500+ page bill cuz it was bipartisan. Well that didn't happen and voila...118 pages and passed in the nick of time.
If Kamala - the worst Democratic Nominee in living memory - had made a focused effort to peel away Green Party and Kennedy voters in those three states, and if Kamala had chosen Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her Vice President, she would have won 270 EVs and the White House.
I think Newsome had a better chance to win. Didn’t want to offend that sorta black, female VP. She does know she was just a token...right??
Seems like Newsom wanted to wait until 2028. But he'll be 61 by then. No longer a young man.
“Can you tell me how you know more about Johnson than President Trump and who should be running the House?? Just one small clue.”
Well that’s an easy one. He used the “we control just one half of one third of the government” nonsense John Boehner line.
The House controls ALL funding. ALL OF IT! It doesn’t need to kowtow because the Senate or the president or both say Boo!
He’s a pantywaist. But the rest of the Republican caucus will only support a pantywaist.
As to who SHOULD control the House? A member with an above 80% Conservative Review Liberty score. But Bacon and Fitzpatrick and Newhouse (who Johnson helped save), etc. won’t vote for such a person.
Sounds good to me. Let’s get the show on the road.
80,000 Mich
121,000 Penn
Yes, agree, reluctantly. It is what it is.
Close, important House votes such as this is where the handful of stolen House seats in Kalifornia really matter.
“ When the Dems will start procedures to block the certification of a President in the absence of a House Speaker....”
Please post something, anything, from the Constitution that even SUGGESTS Congress has ANY power even CLOSE to “certification” - as if the State Legislatures sovereign power to appoint a President somehow requires approval from Congress.
“ the handful of stolen House seats in Kalifornia really matter.”
No they don’t. The RINO caucus has at least 30 members.
You’re right, of course.
Interesting article on possibilities about the “tellers” not being available officially if the House lacks a confirmed Speaker, so Kamala (President of the US Senate) would be the one to choose whom to listen to reading the state by state results. Some say they are merely “town criers” and not really certifying anything.
“We have a very narrow GOP margin in the House,”
Herein lies the problem, if this ‘Porkulus’ bill had passed with all the dems and a bunch of RINOs have just guaranteed the rats will take over in 2026. People can argue whether or not Johnson is the definition of a uniparty coalition but it matters not if the GOPe gets tossed in the next election like they always do when they act like democrats.
There is no doubt she passed over Shapiro for the noisy woke squad. Which is why she lost PA and then some
I agree that the ack burner is the proper place for this “issue,” but I sincerely hope that President Trump has “had words” with Speaker Johnson!
He has never acted as anything more than a democrat puppet as far as I have seen.
