I can't. 🤬

I glanced at the title, and smiled. Because I thought for sure this article was from that great satirical site, “The Babylon Bee”.

I’m not smiling anymore.

Not sure why my comment was removed so I will try again. He is one sick cuck. We would be no better or worse off if a RAT was running the House.

What would be the difference?

“We look forward to every member voting their conscience and their desire, and that is exactly how this process is supposed to work and how the house is supposed to operate,” Johnson told reporters on Friday after passing a rules bill. “So we’re happy to provide that.”

Is that for real? So much for representing the constituents that put them in office. 🙄

[cowboyusa]

The REAL Johnson is dead or kidnapped.

[Captainpaintball]

I never heard of this cuck until he ran for speaker. Why is that always the case? And when I saw him for the first time, I knew he would act exactly as he has acted so far. The adopted Haitian was the icing on the cake.

The vast majority of House Republicans supported the aid package, which included aid for Ukraine. I wish Ukraine aid had been left out, but House Republicans voted in favor of the bill by well over a 2:1 margin if the figures I’m seeing are correct.

They need to bring the motion to vacate the chair, so the public can see the Uniparty in action. When Congress act in “bipartisan” manner, it means they are screwing everyone.

[Dave911]

Why is it that every Republican who assumes this role immediately turns traitor?

[nwrep]

How come Democrat speakers of the House never backstab their base?

[Deo volente]

Johnson, a Trojan Horse to end all Trojan Horses.

We’ve been had...again.

[A strike]

Think of an actual roach.

That’s Mike Johnson

[ohioman]

Mike “Judas” Johnson can go to hell!

We aren’t, Mike.

UniParty Spotlight – More Democrats Vote for Johnson Foreign Aid Bill Than Republicans

April 19, 2024 | Sundance | 550 Comments

165 Democrats voted for a foreign aid package brought to the floor by Republican Speaker Mike Johnson.  The measure includes $26 billion more for Israel, $61 billion more for Ukraine and around $10 billion for Taiwan.   151 Republicans voted to support the aid bill.

There is almost $100 billion in total foreign aid and approximately $0 to secure the southern U.S. border.  This is a “Republican” bill, that passed with Democrats, not Republicans.  The ideological UniParty is very real in Washington DC, and this vote was entirely against the wishes of most Americans.

We are in an abusive relationship with our government. There really is no other way to look at it.

WASHINGTON DC – […] underscoring deep intraparty frustrations with Johnson’s strategy, 55 Republicans voted against advancing the package — a once unheard-of GOP rebellion that has grown more common given their single-digit margin.

Normally that would be enough to scuttle Johnson’s plan, but 165 Democrats voted to bring up the bills. It’s the first time they’ve done so during Johnson’s speakership — an alliance that is likely to fuel calls from his most vocal critics to strip him of his gavel.

The House is now slated to vote on the bills early Saturday afternoon, and Johnson will once again need substantial help from Democrats to get them over to the Senate. Majority Leader Steve Scalise said Friday that he plans to support the package, while Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) declined to state his position when asked.

“I’m pleased that we were able to come to a bipartisan agreement,” said House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.). He added: “It’s working out the way the speaker wanted it to, which is that every member is free to vote their conscience … in a way they usually aren’t.”

The House structured the package so as to ease its consideration in the Senate, requiring less time and procedural votes to pass the upper chamber. While senators are scheduled to be out of Washington next week, there’s ongoing discussion about canceling that recess to take up the House plan if it passes. (read more)

It’s really not just Mike Johnson, the root of the issue is much deeper than just corrupt and detached Republican leadership.  The issue extends to every aspect of life and politics in Washington DC.  Every member is participating in a process to give money to other countries, regardless of whether the American voter wants that to happen or not.

There is a complete collapse of the governmental structure of the United States as it pertains to representative government.  The concept of representative government is completely gone, not even considered any longer amid the professional political class from both wings of the UniParty vulture.

I have no idea how this structural collapse can be fixed.  There doesn’t seem to be any entity willing to stop the nonsense as it relates to financial systems and U.S. foreign aid.

At a certain point amid all of this madness, you just have to elevate and accept the dollar-based U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (USCBDC) is going to happen…. in large part because UniParty spending like this makes central bank digital currency a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Too few people understand how that USCBDC issue will fundamentally change the dynamic of everything…

…. e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g!

House Speaker Mike Johnson == Yet another piece of evidence that the GOP is full of morons and dick-heads with no backbone or balls.

[Fireone]

“every member voting their conscience and their desire, and that is exactly how this process is supposed to work”
Speaker Johnson, I disagree!
Representatives are sent to D.C. to vote the desires of their constituents, not their personal desires.
All of Congress needs to take a high school civics course, and get back to doing what they were sent to do.

[Fledermaus]

This man is a selfish twit.

He actually believes the Intel nonsense. He thinks Russia is going to roll tanks through Europe.

Talk about delusional.

[DPMD]

Some would say that pols should vote their constituents and their districts rather than their own conscience and desires. But not democrats like johnson.

Democrats have been unusually adept at inserting their moles in the office of the speaker. And republicans equally obtuse at spotting or stopping it.
