Johnson is a lying sack of crap. Surprise!
Correct. If the house passes another bill like HR2, Schumer can pigeonhole that too as long as dems and RINOs control the senate. How will that help?
It's one big con-job.
I've been saying right along...The Dems hold the Senate, Biden has a magic Pen and that's reality. We need to win BIG in 2024.
Maybe O'Connell is the one we should go after...
At a certain point after following politics closely, you move away from reacting to events and begin to focus on proactively predicting events. You start to develop a mental tuning fork that finds the frequency of DC compromise. In essence, you begin to assemble data and take notes on visible activity that indicates compromise.
Those notes then becomes predictive data and you keep it visible for later reference when trying to review motives and motivations for the DC schemes. Generally, if you keep close watch and take good notes, you will catch around 80% of the public datapoints that highlight the path of the political compromise. Things that make other things make sense.
The origin of MTG’s dark motives and her individual compromise originates in the timeline of her marital breakup, sexual exploits with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and eventually divorce. MTG, Lauren Boebert and Sean Hannity all have this origination timeline in common. I’m not sure what originates the Deep State compromise with Massie yet, when that initial touch took place, but I do know it goes back much further in the timeline of his congressional tenure.
Thomas Massie now joins with MTG in calling for the removal of Speaker Mike Johnson.
Let there be absolutely no doubt, removing Johnson right now is giving the speaker gavel to Democrats. This Machiavellian way to remove Donald Trump has always appeared to be the Deep State insurance policy.
When the U.S. Supreme Court reinstituted Donald Trump on the federal election ballots of the five leftist states who removed him, the high court noted that disqualifying a person from presidential office could only be done by congress, not by the individual states.
If the Democrats take control of the House, disqualifying Donald Trump from federal office will be the purpose of their first legislative act. They already hold the Senate. They will do this. Thomas Massie knows this.
So, ask yourself, who exactly is controlling the action of Thomas Massie; remember, he’s the former endorser of Ron DeSantis on behalf of the Sea Island multinationals (banks). Does the question answer itself?
Accept things as they are, not as you would prefer them to be.
When we *think* we have found the bottom of the corrupt and conniving state within the DC system… Pause, have a nice cup of coffee, then remind ourselves we’ll never find the bottom of this level of corruption; it’s ‘effen bottomless.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Massie’s decision was not well received during the meeting, according to several members in the room. And Republicans across the conference, including some members of the Freedom Caucus, quickly pushed back on the idea of booting Johnson, noting it would spark chaos without a clear successor — a repeat of the House’s nightmare in October.
[…] Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said after Tuesday’s conference meeting that he still thinks they can avoid a vote to terminate Johnson’s speakership. But one GOP lawmaker, granted anonymity to speak candidly, was less optimistic: “Folks are very discouraged. … We are screwed.”
The simmering rebellion isn’t a total surprise after Johnson on Monday evening announced his plans to send four separate bills to the floor — on aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, plus a fourth with other miscellaneous provisions. That sparked pushback from Greene and some other conservatives, who have long opposed attempts to send further cash to Ukraine. And that opposition to Johnson could grow as the week goes on.
His first major hurdle on that package will be getting it through the Rules Committee, where hardliners of his conference hold three GOP seats. But he’s expected to succeed there; while conservatives could block the bill if they unite with Democrats on the panel, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) said on Tuesday that he will vote for the rule, which sets the parameters of the House’s floor debate, in committee.
But it gets tougher from there. To even bring the package up on the floor, Johnson will need a majority of the House. And given conservative opposition he’s almost certainly going to need Democratic support. Typically, the minority party does not help on so-called rule votes, but some have signaled they’d make an exception for Ukraine aid. (read more)
What a disappointment he’s turned out to be.
McConnell, not O’Connell, but I agree.
He is a compromised liar. So much for his Christian claims. Meh
The Republican party doesn’t really want to lead.
*****
It is becoming more and more obvious. I know the Republican Party here in Illinois is no better. They have no fight. Most of the Party members in Illinois have let the Democrats run roughshod over them to the point that the Democrats have a supermajority. The Republicans are only in it for the pensions and perks. They couldn’t care less about leading. And the press here is just as liberal as anywhere else. No difference..
“He?”
Yes...It’s nap time...I’m 80...
The Republican Party only has the house...Be real please. Go after Schumer who is blackmailing “The People” by keeping HR2 from a vote.
I thought you might be suggesting that Mitch might have something in common with O’Bama. Maybe he does.
I said what I said and meant what I said...McConnell co-sponsored HR2. He’s the one we should be contacting to move HR2 in the Senate...like Schumer will listen to him..Yeh...right..
Would a simple majority in the senate pass it, or would they need 60 votes?
I thought it took 60 to get it to the floor, then a simple majority to pass.
I believe simple majority.
He is a man isn’t he? I could be wrong though.
