Back in 2020 House Freedom Caucus member Jim Jordan went to then Speaker of the House John Boehner to discuss working on a budget. Boehner stiffed Jordan and negotiated a massive omnibus spending bill with the Democrats. President Trump threatened a veto but eventually caved and signed it.

Fast forward to last week. Senate Republican minority leader, Mitch McConnell, colluded with the Democrats to cram through another omnibus spending bill before the Republicans took over the majority today, January 3. I believe 12 Republican senators voted for the bill.

John Boehner was replaced by Paul Ryan as speaker. Ryan reneged on his promise to Trump to fund the wall on the southern boarder. Ryan also refused to authorize any subpoenas by Devin Nunes investigating the Russian collusion hoax.

This types of betrayals are why conservative house members are so paranoid.

There are very few true representatives of the people in the snake pit that is known as washington DC.

The incumbents think “ Me instead of We”

Until the RINO’s are ridded and the party acts in unison like the Dems all we have is theater re true representation.

CORRECTION:

“Back in 2020” should have been “Back in 2016”.

Sorry folks.
