Border concessions are not going to happen until after Trump is sworn in. In fact, Trump doesn’t want border concessions to pass on Biden’s watch. Biden won’t make any meaningful concessions anyway, but if he did, Trump would pan them.

Of course the democrats blocked it. And YES, I would not pass ANYTHING until the border was secured.

Republicans should pass nothing, absolutely nothing, until they pass the most important issue, NATIONAL SECURITY. Any yes, that includes letting the government shut down (if need be) by not passing ANY spending bills! NONE.

Let the democrats explain to their constituency why they feel national security is not the most important issue facing our country today.

“They even cover the DC metro stops.”

1. As I said their ads are not on TV.

2. How many Congress or DOD officials tke the D.C. metro as opposed to private cars, whether personal, cabs/car servics and Uber. My bet is it is mostly the latter.

3. If you were in Congress would those ads influence you, or me? But you assume they influence everyone else.

If the information that Johnson received was so very very bad, than we WE THE PEOPLE need to know about it! NO MORE GAMES!

This is our country-they have no ownership over us. We are footing the bills and they keep making them, and they tell US to just SHUT UP about it.

It’s truly a sad day.

The key was to get concessions like border security in exchange for funding.

You and may others here are gullible. Dems will promise anything and renege. If Mayokas got money for "border security" he would spend it on getting more illegals into the country faster. If only Dems wanted Ukraine funding it would never pass.

Johnson is also gullible. He apparently believes that Russia is going to invade NATO countries. Putin is not that stupid.

the most important issue, NATIONAL SECURITY.

Does such a bill even exist? Or are you talking about HR2, which Schumer blocked? The GOP apparently is not interested in making HR2 into law. But if the senate approved it, Biden could veto it.

Elected officials should be on a 6 month probation period once a year.

I think you need to be honest with yourself. Did you have a meltdown like this every time the GOP House passed a bill since the border bill was passed and then blocked last May? If not then it’s really about Ukraine for you and not about the border. A majority of Americans believe that supporting Ukraine in this war IS in the American best interest. More specifically, JOHNSON believes that. So it’s not about caving. In fact, it’s about having the balls to push it thru despite the threats to terminate his position as speaker.

I actually am quite impressed with Johnson. I saw him speak on TV a few minutes ago about the anti-Semitic rallies in NYC. He has leadership qualities, unlike his many detractors. I would go so far as to suggest that he might make a good national ticket candidate down the road.

I equate border security with national security. With open borders we have tens of thousands of Communist Chinese, hundreds of Iranians, Afghanis, Russians, etc. illegally crossing our border. Also over a couple hundred on the known terror watch list (who know how many for real) have already crossed.

Add in drugs like fentynal, drug dealers, child traffickers, rapists, and other criminals and illegals that hate out country..

The open borders policy of the Biden Administration is clearly a national security threat. The border must be secured, perios.

Wow, that’s just what we need—leaders that fold like a cheap suit. Johnson said he would pass separate bills. Biden publicly stated he would NOT sign separate bills, period.

Johnson then caved and abandoned placing border security as his top priority? Maybe you call that leadership, but I don’t!

most likely JUDAS Johnson was already on the globalist payroll and came off convincingly with tough border talk. He was lying the whole time.

I agree, but we don’t have the votes in the senate to pass any real border security bill. If we did Biden would veto it. Meanwhile Dems and RINOs want to take/keep the House, keep the senate, and put Trump in prison, to keep the border open.

If Trump gets more EVs and Kamala doesn’t accept them, congress votes. If the dems win that vote, Biden+Kamala are not going to fix the FBI, and Thomas and Alito will eventually have to retire.

Johnson gave a similar line to the Times: “I really do believe I think he might go to the Baltics next. I think he might have a showdown with Poland or one of our NATO allies.”

I'd suggest you are a tool and a seditious traitor, a coward or both. How much is going to American people? Our own border?
