We got fooled again.
it doesn’t rest totally on him - the firebrands who brought down McCarthy without a plan can see the results: a shrinking R presencein the House, now at a majority of one; increased spending and the US deeper in debt and mired in war. own it, supporters. this was a debacle led and followed by hotheads.
I used this same line from The Who in here the day Mike Johnson became speaker and was attacked for it. I knew Mike Johnson was no different than McCarthy by simply watching the democrats’ reaction to his promotion.
Had Mike Johnson been a real conservative willing to fight for the USA and the issues we believe in, the democrats would have melted down. Sure, they voted against him and mouthed some words in disapproval but, they didn’t melt down. We all know what it’s like when the democrats hate someone we vote for or nominate. We’re seen them many times before.
The Republican Party has largely become nothing more than a modern Trojan horse.
It is not any use to replace him. There is no Representative that can withstand the threat that a new Speaker will receive for the FBI to “find” child porn on his cell phone or home computer. Placing such files on a device is the easiest thing in the world. Defying that threat would just get the Speaker arrested and jailed and convicted of possessing child porn and render him unelectable and ineffective if he were not convicted. The Congress is entirely at the the whim of the PTB.
Brings to mind a couple of questions:
1. What does the left have on Johnson? and
2. How much $$$ is he getting?
