How Do You Solve a Problem Like Mike Johnson?
American Thinker ^ | April 22, 2024 | Brian C. Joondeph

Posted on 04/22/2024 2:00:36 AM PDT by Rocco DiPippo

McCarthy was replaced by a compromise choice of Mike Johnson. As The Who sang, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss”, Speaker Johnson is the new boss, also pushing massive omnibus spending bills, not releasing all the January 6 entrapment evidence, supporting continued warrantless spying on Americans, and pushing endless aid to secure the borders of countries thousands of miles away from America while leaving America’s borders wide open.

He follows the pattern of past GOP Speakers – Boehner, Ryan, McCarthy, and now Johnson. It seems Republican voters continue to ask and vote for a medium rare steak only to be served a burnt, inedible slab of meat.

***Early Gingrich was good, the bombthrower, but also willing to negotiate deals. Who in the House can do that?***

You seem to be missing my point... Keep going down that road (looking for THE one in the caucus) and lose everything. What does it matter❓ Neither of us has a voice anyway❗

Notwithstanding, I have pushed my suggestion a bit on TS.

Politics is the answer to....nothing.

Prepare.

Changing House Speakers is rearranging the deck chairs on The Titanic.

The problem is much larger than Johnson. Only God can save this country now.

It’s beginning to be clear that the people are the ones that will have to do something to reign in the debacle we have in government. What that looks like I don’t know but the rate that things are going I’m not optimistic on it being peaceful. We shall see, stranger things have happened before.
PRAY.

We are being outdrawn by a handful of evil.

I'm not a particularly religious person, but I'm not blind....what the world is currently experiencing...has been written. Though I'm far from a Biblical scholar either...I've read about this...it seems to be following "the script".

BTW, how does getting rid of Johnson doom Trump?! Keeping him dooms Trump and Republicans across the country.

Consider the current razor thin majority the Repubs have in the House. If Johnson quits after getting dumped (a real possibilty) and one or more other RINO/Trump haters quit, the House goes to the Dems. Do the math from there. The article does a good job of presenting the dangers of getting rid of scumbag Johnson before the election.

You refuse to allow Deep State to pick your candidates for you. And you secure your elections.

Yes, that's it.

Who has been securing the election system to prevent a 2020-style steal in 2024? What have the Repubs been doing to that effect?

I can see your viewpoint and if it does or doesn’t happen many will give credit to God. From each sides point of view, resurrection/prophecy or the trials of tribulation, I think that’s right, it’ll be works of good vs evil.

Now through November I think will be the spark. Somewhere in there but you can be sure my family and our friends are prepared for whatever comes our way. I think America has been ruined for years, people have about had it.

I think Patel would be excellent - unless/until the globalist/leftist/Democrat/RINO filth running DC somehow extorted him into backing down, which is what I think might be the case with Johnson.

My opinion is that among TPTB, Epstein Island wasn't an abberation or a "one off."

Where's the list of Epstein's clients? How come We the People are forbidden from knowing who among the most wealthy and powerful people in the West, including those currently attempting to enslave all of mankind, are vile degenerates, rapists and pedophiles?

Kash has already dealt with all of that. He and journalist Lee Smith were behind the Devin Nunes intel investigation exposing Crossfire Hurricane, Adam Schiff and the whole FISA crimes.

Of course the Deep State did all that they could do to discredit the Nunes report and the authors... and now it stands as revelation. Nunes Memo

"They have already acquiesced to more violations of our rights than I ever imagined. It will only get worse."

The overwhelming compliance of Western people with the idiotic, destructive and dangerous diktats imposed on them during covid shocked even some of the scumbags who imposed those cray "rules." They could not believe how easy it was to essentially order people to destroy themselves, their businesses and their economies. Bah Bah. Baaaaahhh.

Covid was an incredibly successful trial balloon floated by the psychopaths who now dominate all Western political, social and cultural institutions in the West. I fear what's coming soon.

Leave Johnson in until after the election. Then replace him. November’s not far away at this point. Why would you chance handing the gavel to the Dems at this point? That would be lunacy.

At this point I agree with you. Yes, prepare for what’s coming - and what’s coming is full blown, soul-destroying tyranny, unless enough good men step up to stop it.

Fingers crossed that Patel becomes a major player in the next Trump Administration.

I believe history showed that the majority were actually not behind The American Revolution (at least in the beginning). Therefore it was a minority that stepped-up, risked it all... to create a NEW form of governance(by/for the people).

I do not believe it is a large group behind the tyranny...just a well financed/well-positioned cancer systematically spreading into institutions of power/influence.

If we can get those who have basically been (deliberately) brain-fornicated(for lack of a better word) to understand THAT reality...it will go a long way in turning the tide.

How to do that in the modern era, when so much of media/academia is owned/controlled by this malignancy?

...that is the question.

...but the answer better be soon.

Of course, that is "assuming" our Creator doesn't have other plans for US.

...then (according to scripture) it's out of OUR hands.
