Voting to keep funding the open border is WRONG Johnson.
Gaetz Greene logic
not now
It's the biggest broken promise since George HW Bush's "read my lips" promise.
Johnson needs to be forced into retirement at the end of his term.
Leverage for WHAT?
Even if it passed the Senate, Biden simply wouldn’t execute it, or at least not the way you and I would like.
Can you say “Mayorkas”?
And again, you forget entirely about the discharge petition option for the Dems. Then we get the *&^%%$#$#+&&@* (will not use such language publicly) Senate border provisions.
Geezus, how can this be so simple and people don’t understand?
Johnson is leading the Democrats.
And they will fight to keep him. They get everything they want with none of the political risk.
A nasty pubbie fight this summer to replace him...maybe another pubbie quits and we have Jeffries as Speaker just before the election to derail any Trump victory.
Tread carefully, MTG and Massey, et al. I don’t like the ahole at all but there is a whole bunch to lose if you do this with no idea who can win the caucus.
Georgia Girl, I’d prefer YOUR girl Marjorie as speaker. Since that won’t happen then Rand Paul who actually cares about the budget and our liberties.
Johnson promised that (two bills, Ukraine second), and Biden said no. He would not sign two bills. So fine, no money for Ukraine until then.
Instead of securing the border first, his capitulation is actually helping to fund an open border even more--in addition to giving the democrats a big win.
He had INCREDIBLE leverage, and he gave it away for absolutely nothing.
“I am Not a turncoat scumbag! “
Said legislation would do nothing, and possibly worse, so long as Biden (or most any Dem, except maybe Fetterman?) is in the White House.
Legislation has already been passed, BTW.
Sometimes you get what you want and regret it terribly. I'm assuming that's what the foreign tropics are for. They will leave their mess behind.
Yes, and now he has no leverage at all. None. Squat. Nada.
What is wrong with you people?
A border bill passing (again) now is worse than useless, no matter what provisions are in it.
Do you not understand the nature of this Administration?
What a sick egotistical jerk
Why is Mike sucking up to Hak’em?
HOGWASH! PROPWASH! JETWASH!
Johnson was swinging a pair, being all kon-serv-a-tive, when his Romneyside came out and Romneyed all of us!!
The Bill that Johnson helped passed IS worse. It provides funding to continue OPEN BORDERS! Nothing would have been better than what Johnson did.
Which is totally irrelevant.
The establishment has again backed themselves into a corner. They sell out the party base in an election year in spectacular fashion infuriating said base to the point many just don’t give a damn about the Republicans controlling anything in Washington, it means nothing.
So now the establishment has a Republican speaker, passing a Marxist agenda that they can’t or won’t remove and then they come out in September on FR and any where they can find and outlet and tell us why we have to vote for them or the Democrats will win and pass their policies.
I have seen the picture of the GOP circular firing squad and it’s correct the GOP establishment is very actively blowing each other away. Meanwhile the conservative base stands at a safe distance and watches this insanity unfold again and again in disbelief.
No, the Senate bill is much worse.
Hardly irrelevant, when Johnson made a promise to secure the border first. His actions made it worse!
