House Passes Pelosi-Schumer CR, Averting Shutdown Fears Until March
Breitbart ^ | 01/18/2024 | Bradley Jaye

Posted on 01/18/2024 4:03:44 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The House passed a short-term spending extension only hours after the bill cleared the Senate, pushing the next shutdown threat to March and surrendering Republican leverage on enacting a border security package.

The continuing resolution (CR) passed 314-108, extending spending levels and priorities set by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in December 2022 during a lame-duck session of Congress.

It really is sickening isn’t it. Charlie Kirk warned us about Mike Johnson, for all his claims to having a spine compared to Kevin Mccarthy and the other RINO’s, he turns out to be yet another version of pathetic GOPe controlled opposition, caving when he has to actually fight the Dems on anything of substance. The Republicans held all the cards here with control of the House and power of the purse to demand a halt to the border invasion in return for a budget or CR, there’s broad American support for finally getting actual border policy and shutting down this illegal immigration invasion and conservative border policies. Even the EU has put up a fortress around Europe and launched mass deportations with their historic policy shift in the fall (a lot of our family already moved there and seeing this first-hand.)

And the House could have easily forced Biden and Schumer’s hand on the border by refusing to capitulate to the continuing resolution, force a shutdown for even a couple days and then the Demonrats would be forced to cry uncle. It’s their economy and their refusal to do their most basic tasks on the border that’s causing this mess, so even a short shutdown forces the Dems to the negotiating table and real action to halt the border invasion.

So what does Johnson and the House GOP do with this advantage, the chance to finally force Biden and the Dems to fight the invasion overwhelming America every day? Just meekly surrender, with another “stopgap” continuing resolution that just makes Democratic budgets permanent and does nothing to stop the border invasion. Complete and embarrassing, spineless capitulation by Johnson, shown himself to be a GOPe shill for the cheap labor lobby that’s bought off much of the Republican Party, no different than Mccarthy.

Mccarthy and his fellow RINO traitors whine they’re just putting the halt to the border invasion off until March, but we don’t have that long to save America. A ranch of one of our relatives in Texas is being literally overrun by invaders from all over the world, whole towns in western Africa now emptying and sending their criminals and welfare seekers to the US because they know they can walk right in now and disappear. That and cartel operatives bringing more fentantyl, every week and it’s all over the region. The whole state of Texas is being swarmed right now by this invasion and it’s already a shadow of it’s former self. To Johnson and all you other pathetic, spineless, useless GOPe quislings: We don’t have another week to take action, leave alone another month! You’ve failed in your most basic duties to your voters.

The GOP is dead to us because of this. We’ll support Trump who’s the only one with a spine to actually fight this invasion, but the Republicans in general won’t get one vote, not one dollar from American conservatives anymore. Not until they get RESULTS on the border using the power we gave them with control of the House in Nov 2022, including actually following through on a shutdown promise in March and forcing Biden to cry uncle. Which he’d do after merely 2-3 days of the House Republicans actually growing a spine and staring him down, he and the Dems are the ones with the weak hand. And this also means getting rid of Johnson in an even bigger humiliation than Mccarthy. He needs to be kicked out as speaker. Now, or the GOP is finished for good.

He’s just another professional politician.
He’s had four successive terms in office. This is about the point where they go ‘DC native’! So why is anyone surprised?

True there’s practically no difference between them. The United States is being literally invaded right now, illegals flooding in and overwhelming even small towns and farming areas in the heartland. Straining what’s left of our schools and hospitals, traditional Americans and our kids already a shrinking minority even in the heartland and losing more rights everyday. Drug cartels sending their soldiers into the US and poisoning even our kids in schools with fentanyl.

It’s basically Pelosi and Obama’s sick vision of America, but instead it’s Mike Johnson and the GOPe quislings who’ve actually delivered it. Ranches and homes in Texas now are being literally overrun by the invading hordes, we need action now and the House could’ve delivered it by staring Biden and Schumer down, causing a short shutdown and forcing Biden and Schumer to blink, they’re the ones who hold responsibility for this after all and it’s their economy. But instead, Johnson and the House GOP RINO’s just cave and surrender. Utterly pathetic.

Johnson needs to be ousted as speaker, right now, and the House needs to force a halt of this invasion on the border, including a shutdown in March, and actually fight. Real results, starting with Johnson gone before the month is out. Otherwise, this pathetic, traitorous shell of a GOP won’t be getting a single vote or dollar from conservatives anymore.

Wouldn’t be one bit surprised. Mike Johnson caved even more pathetically than Mccarthy did on this continuing resolution, surrendering meekly at the thought of even a day shutdown even though it’s Biden’s administration and economy here would be taught a lesson. That picture shows what Johnson is inside with his fearful look. Scared, weak and incompetent, a shill for the cheap labor lobby. Not even trying to put up a fight on the border policy to halt this invasion, even when the US is literally facing an existential crisis with millions invading every month. Texas is being all but destroyed before our very eyes, one of our relatives ranches has been literally overrun and fentanyl is flooding even our kids schools. We need a fighter and Johnson ain’t it. He needs to go before the end of January, or else the GOP is finished.

Well done, we called today too and our whole neighborhood has been flooding the Office of the Speaker lines and emails, to remind Mike Johnson as painfully as possible he’s failed, he needs to step down. Right now. America is being mass invaded and destroyed before our very eyes, poisoned everyday by the drugs shipped over the border. There is no CR to “kick the can down the road”, the fight had to happen here, a shutdown to force Biden’s hand and demand a border policy to halt the invasion, or no budget. Yet in the face of an existential crisis for America, Johnson caved even worse than Mccarthy. A GOPe shill for the cheap labor lobby who’s done even more damage than even Nancy Pelosi could of dreamed of. He needs to go.

Agreed. And Johnson needs to be ousted first thing, any Republican who votes to keep him after this shameless betrayal needs to be primaried and publicly called out for treason. No excuse for a GOPe traitor to be in high office when the whole country is being literally invaded over our border and overrun before our very eyes. He’s all talk and no action when we most needed and had the leverage with the shutdown and the budget.

Yep, Republitards and sell-outs, led above all by quisling Mike Johnson. He’s worse than even Mccarthy and put less of a fight on the border, even when the invading hordes have gotten worse and he held all the cards to force Biden’s hand on the border invasion with even a brief shutdown. He’s a spineless coward and a traitor, just imagine if America had been led by such quislings and cowards in 1776. Johnson needs to go.

Completely agree there. Mike Johnson and the GOPe shills and quislings are kicking the can on something that can’t wait a single day longer, leave alone a week or month and they could’ve forced Biden’s hand with just a short 2 or 3 day shutdown, but they caved like spineless cowards. Whole towns and neighborhoods in Texas and other states are being literally overrun right now by the border invasion. We’re being flooded by half a million invaders a month, communist operatives and criminals from Venezuela, hordes of Muslim terrorists, whole villages full of welfare users from western Africa, fraudsters from India and Pakistan and cartel operatives and drug dealers from Mexico and all over. Traditional Americans are a shrinking minority in the US every week and there’s enough fentanyl already in America to OD every single American 3 times over again, more floods in everyday even getting right into our schools. Young conservative families in the heartland have lost hope, had their futures stolen.

That’s why Johnson and the House had to reject any CR or temporary budget extension and force a shutdown to get action, the US is in a state of emergency right now, actively invaded by millions of hostile invaders. It’s no surprise the Dems and cheap labor lobby are welcoming it since this is Pelosi’s, Obama and the Chamber of Commerce sick vision of America. But we expected the Republicans to at least put up a fight, that’s what we gave the GOP a House majority for in November 2022. And Johnson and the Republicans even hold all the cards with the budget, it’s Biden and the Dems that are most terrified of even a two day shutdown because it’s their administration and their economy. Force a brief shutdown, and Dems are forced to come to the negotiating table and agree to an actual border policy to halt the invasion.

But we get nothing even in an historic crisis. Complete surrender by the House GOP controlled opposition with this pathetic “stopgap” CR that doesn’t even fund the Border Patrol, just like Dems want. Mike Johnson put up even less of a fight than Mccarthy did. He took his bribes from the cheap labor shills and betrayed the country, even when the rest of the world is clamping their borders shut. Even the EU has made a fortress of Europe with the historic policy and philosophy shift on the border in the fall last year, no more asylum (except for eastern Europeans), no more welfare and speedy deportations at the expense of the lawbreakers. A lot of our family used our ancestor connections to move there since the 1990’s and it’s incredible how fast things have changed, a lot of Europe (except for Britain) now even has better small business, property (low property taxes and other taxes) and even gun rights than most of the US the way that ground has shifted. The House could’ve just pointed to trends across the world and demanded Biden follow the same policies, refuse to pass a budget or CR stopgap and force a short shutdown, and not budge until Biden halts the border invasion and protects American towns and the heartland.

But instead, nothing but pathetic capitulation by the GOP. Total surrender by meek Mike Johnson. We’ll vote for and support Trump since he’s the only major figure and patriot out there right now actually fighting for America and the heartland, and to stop this invasion. But as you say, the Republican Party is dead. No more betrayals when the country is literally being invaded and overrun before our eyes.

The only chance at revival is first, ousting Mike Johnson from Speaker before the end of January, and then a full and real budget fight in March. Not giving even an inch on the budget until the border is secured and our government is forced to do the job and fight this invasion. No more continuing resolutions, no more stopgaps or kicking the can down the road.

Shut the government down as part of the negotiations to show we mean business, even for just the two or three day shutdown that would force Biden’s hand on the border to at least put a dent in this invasion that’s destroying America right now as we speak. This is a literal national emergency, no more time to wait. Failing that, this pathetic RINO GOP needs to burn to the ground and get replaced by an actual Patriots Party, led by Trump and real patriots. The Republicans as they currently are won’t be getting a single vote or penny from conservatives in America with yet another betrayal, at a time of possible the worst crisis our country has faced since George Washington himself took the field.

That and even worse, those grifters have brought down America’s future as a nation at all, by failing to lift a finger to halt the invasion at the border even as half a million invaders flood in every month. With plenty of fentanyl and meth along with their crime to poison our kids and neighborhoods. Mike Johnson and the House GOP were given the majority in 2022 specifically to stop this, and they didn’t even try. Johnson caved even worse than Mccarthy when he could’ve used even a brief shutdown to force Biden’s hand on the border policy, even with the US literally under siege before our eyes.

You can’t even go to a small town in Texas now without confronting the invasion and if you try to defend yourself, the Swamp fill find a way to label you an enemy, take your firearms and leave you destitute (and every new invading horde and the inevitable amnesty chips at 2A itself even more.) Johnson needs to be removed from Speaker before the end of January. The Republican Party is dead to conservatives from here and it will only revive with a real fight on the budget in March, not flinching at a shutdown and standing firm until our borders and country are protected from this invasion. Otherwise this quisling, controlled opposition GOP needs to burn to the ground, what they and traitor Johnson have done with this pathetic CR surrender is the very worst kind of treason.
