Don't let Mike Johnson and RINO Republicans lie to you ... they have the gavel.
They could write a short bill today with a clean 3-month CR, only adding hurricane relief, zero pork, and no raise.
Then if Democrats vote against it, they can honestly say they voted against hurricane relief victims.
It's that freaking simple.
They don't want to because they're used to getting themselves, their lobbyists, and their donors filthy rich off the backs of hardworking Americans.
ENOUGH !!!
...
They could but they won’t.
...
Speaker Johnson needs to not only vacate the chair he must be primaried as well. He deliberately ignored the will of the people and the mandate we gave to President Trump.
...
Republicans have the MAJORITY…so why don’t they just come up with a truly conservative bill that will garner 100% of the Republican vote and then let Democrats vote it down and own the shutdown?
Why do they lose GOP support pandering to Democrats??
...
Dan Crenshaw is the America-last, Ukraine-first war pig who does not need a raise because of all the money he makes when he miraculously became a stock expert since joining Congress,. ~Catturd.
Dan Crenshaw is spearheading the effort to get a pay raise for Congress.. Eye Patch McCain..
Johnson is toast. A huge disappointment, but I hate to say not unexpected.
Johnson is a fraud. He is deep state.
Johnson needs to be removed. He will hinder Trump and all of US.
Glad he showed himself before Trump is inaugurated.
Shut it down. The republicans will not pay for it. Not this time. The press already has no credibility. Biden already has no credibility. Trump and Vic and Elon can say, a clean bill or else. Everyone thinks they are shrinking the budget. So Elon can walk in there and start firing people. No budget, they go. Its great. People want this change. Its different than before. We voted for this very thing.
Catturd is always spot on
Crenshaw was complaining on X last night and everybody ripped him a new one. What a pathetic whiner.
Mike and the RINOs.
Sounds like a group of C-level musicians. LOL
Agree. Johnson is far to weak to be the Speaker. The incoming administration is full of dynamic people with a big agenda so the obstruction needs to be removed ASAP.
Johnson should communicate better with his members and Trump before he brings a bill to the floor.
Pass a clean CR to get through the holidays.
Democrats won’t help Johnson.
If government is shut down, no inauguration. Elon should stfu until Trump is sworn in.
Why would the Dem Senate support a clean CR?
The inauguration does not work like that.
There have been many posts explaining this.
There can be a formal inauguration with a couple of people attending on their own dime.
The public event can happen later.
Does anyone on Free Republic, have any second thoughts about the chain of events, which led to ousting McCarthy and installing Johnson as Speaker? Was that whole exercise worth it?
Catturd for speaker!
How will the election be certified?
If we get Byron Donald’s as speaker of the house.
“Shut downs” are not really shut-downs in the wacky world of the Swamp.
Congress can still meet and conduct business.
This is obvious since they would have to meet to have a new budget.
Lol.
The whole thing is a mess. Matt Gaetz engineered himself right out of a job. I think we were better with McCarthy.
Government “shut down” is never really a shut down. Most of the government runs on autopilot, immune to political shenanigans.
When you sell your soul and your integrity they own you.
Owned bitches do as they are told or else.
Sunlight, scrutiny, public accountability and humiliation by an honest champion of the true victims, the taxpayer, is like an exterminator spraying cockroaches.
It's a disgusting process.
