“I regard myself as a wartime Speaker.”

Get a grip; we are not at war. You can’t use that as an excuse to justify passage of warrantless spying, a bloated omnibus, or $100 billion in foreign aid.

Trump just finished a messy fight for the leadership of the RNC.

Great point. Also, the level of destruction of our supposed principles going on right now can't be excused for any reason. You either fight to block it, or you're supporting it, I don't care what your "excuse" is.

They’re trying really hard to bring about a war. What is it with these people? It’s sickening.

He isn’t exactly Speaker in a “peaceful” time.

Coincidentally, I regard Johnson as a Wartime Quisling.

This country is not at war at the present time unless this is an admission we have been in a proxy war with Russia for two years.

He watches his buddies of the Democrat/Communist Party effectively lie their way out of everything and he thinks he can do the same. But Johnson fails to realize that he doesn't have enough experience and practice to pull that off ... and he actually looks, well, goofy when he attempts it.

Ah well, a goofy-looking sonuvabitch gotta act like a goofy-looking sonuvabitch, I guess.

How can a fight over the RNC be compared to a bitter public fight over the Speakership? It certainly won’t help Trump. Though I have a feeling you would be happy with that result...

Like I said, these are not peaceful times. There is more to maintaining peace than simply not formally declaring war. And we are the leader of the free world, tough as that is.

Because you wouldn't want either in an election year, but arguably changing the RNC is much more risky during an election year. Trump did it simply to assert control over the finances, and Laura Trump has admitted as much, saying "every last penny" will go to re-elect Trump now.

The fight over Speakership is over principle, however, and our ability to stand up to Democrats over funding the border. This fight goes back to Trump, who failed to get it done. Now it just looks like complete capitulation, and will probably hurt turnout for those who want the border closed but are disillusioned at this point.

This is the perfect time to fight. We saw Trump and Johnson standing side by side just a few days ago. Now a huge white flag is waving.

You can’t be a “wartime Speaker” and leave our own national borders wide open for absolutely anyone to come in, and be given food, shelter, and an ATM card. It’s ludicrous.
