So much for “conservative” Speaker Mike Johnson.

What a massive disappointment.

I’d say that the circular firing squad is back, but I don’t think they ever left.

Another trillion here, more trillions there, and pretty soon you’re talking about...

...well, I don’t even want to think about it.

Why do we even have Republicans in Congress. They are nothing but the surrender caucus.

They needed “more time” to pass appropriations bills.

No more appropriations bills have been passed, as was intended.

They just want more continuing resolutions, to eliminate the power of the purse check on the executive agencies.

The Democrats win again. These “Republicans” were never Republican. Democrats in Republican clothing. They punked the people good with their act. Don’t get fooled again.

Nobody paying attention every thought Mike Johnson was a principled conservative. The GOP establishment will NEVER EVER allow a conservative as House Speaker.

Johnson is just a lesser of evils. Glad to have him over McCarthy but we aren’t going to see miracles. It will mostly be more of the same with some battles won at the margins.

So we're not going to have floor debate on each appropriations bill like was promised, en?

They can't do that because the agencies have no idea what they are even doing with what they spend now? Other than we need more for the climate and sexually confused special interest groups in each agency......to save democracy.

Time to vacate the Speaker again.

The best we can do is gum up the works, and run out the clock until November.
