Rand Paul: Bill ‘Full of Pork’ Shows Speaker Johnson Is a ‘Weak, Weak Man’
Breitbart ^ | 12/18/2024 | HANNAH KNUDSEN

Posted on 12/19/2024 3:31:23 AM PST by SmokingJoe

The recently unveiled government funding bill “full of pork” shows that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is a “weak, weak man,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said on Wednesday.

The 1,547-page spending deal released Tuesday night includes a multitude of controversial items, including a pay raise for members of Congress.

“I had hoped to see @SpeakerJohnson grow a spine, but this bill full of pork shows he is a weak, weak man,” Paul said.

“The debt will continue to grow. Ultimately the dollar will fail. Democrats are clueless and Big Gov Republicans are complicit,” he added. “A sad day for America.”

Johnson has to go!

Maybe we need a "Speaker of the Month" club. Rotate them in/out until we find one willing and able to do the damn job.

Tom Renx on X:

BREAKING!!!: Congressional spending bill is a big pharma gift extending and expanding COVID emergency powers to other pandemics and even reiterating mRNA vaccine immunity!

We are evaluating the details of this 1500+ page monstrosity but it dramatically expands federal power for plandemic response and funds it all further. This bill WILL set up for the next plandemic and potentially make the next response even worse than the response to COVID

Democrats are clueless and Big Gov Republicans are complicit,”

Maybe the hapless rank and file dumblecrats are “clueless” but too many know exactly what they are doing. And too many repuklicans are helping.

This looting has got to stop!

Shut it down and start again Jan 5th!

From Senator Mike Lee on X:

Today we witnessed the demise of a tyrannical cartel—known as The Law Firm of Schumer, McConnell, Johnson & Jeffries™️

May The Firm™️ and its despotic ways never return to power

Rand Paul would be better served exposing the decrepit sh!tbag who has been his fellow senator from Kentucky for years.
