He played a key role in initiating the Texas Amicus Brief in 2020 and voted against the certification of the 2020 election results, which he viewed as fraudulent.
Screw that RINO asswipe Bacon. May he be primaried and fired. If I never again hear that rat bastard puke’s name mentioned, it’ll be fine with me.
WASHINGTON— United States Representative Mike Johnson’s legislation, the Asylum Reform and Border Protection Act, passed the House Judiciary Committee and will be considered by the House as part of the Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023...
The bill enforces international agreements by making ineligible for asylum aliens who have transited through at least one safe third country en route to the United States.
The bill applies a heightened credible fear standard of “more likely than not” that an alien could establish eligibility for asylum versus the current, lower “significant possibility” standard to discourage frivolous claims. The bill also defines “membership in a particular social group,” “political opinion,” and “persecution” to promote consistency in immigration court rulings.

Provides asylum seekers the ability to apply for benefits from safe third countries: The bill grants the Department of Homeland Security the power to remove asylum seekers to safe third countries where they would have access to a full and fair procedure to apply for asylum without the current necessity for bilateral agreements with those countries. This would allow the return of apprehended Central Americans to Mexico, for example, where they could apply for asylum.
Terminates asylum for those who return home: The bill requires termination of asylum status when an immigrant returns to their home country from which they sought asylum, absent a change in country conditions.
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), the chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, was optimistic leaving Tuesday night’s internal Speaker election, telling reporters “I think we’re gonna have a Speaker” after the conference nominated Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) for the top spot.
“If you’re going to change the status quote here, you’re gonna have to shatter the current power establishment, which is what you’re seeing right now,” Perry said. “It’s been a long journey that started in January, and some hiccups along the way, none of us take any of this personally, we’re not mad at anybody or anything like that.”
“This town doesn’t work for the American people and hasn’t for a long time. We’re on this journey right now to change that, and this is the next step in that journey,” he added.
Trump ally, Ukraine-skeptic Mike Johnson moves closer to speakership
Bacon is always so greasy when the heat gets turned up. He loves pork barrel spending. We need to primary him and fry his arse.
Bacon only supports porkers.
But... Do you like him?
.
This means Lee voted with liberals 25% of the time. To put this in perspective, McCarthy has a Liberty Score of 54% and Jim Jordan 94%.
Looks like the RINOS like Bacon are beginning to fold after taking heat like
they never have before. Primary all of them out.
“Screw that RINO asswipe Bacon. May he be primaried and fired. If I never again hear that rat bastard puke’s name mentioned, it’ll be fine with me.”
Don’t candy coat it, tell us how you really feel! lol
👍. But why did Johnson vote against Jordan?
Ya puzzling, but some people just rub others the wrong way. I suspect Joran may not exactly ingratiate himself even with his political allies.
C 74% LA 5 2022

Really ? Johnson made clear at the time if Jordan stumbled he would get in.
LOL!
Fry Bacon at primary.
So we’ve moved the ball …
Not a showboat. Not a sneak. Measured in responses. Well liked. Social conservative.
