X ^ | 5/1/24 | Thomas Masdie

Members have a weekend to decide whether to embrace the #Uniparty that became obvious in the U.S. House when Hakeem Jeffries and the entire Democrat leadership team announced they want to keep Mike Johnson.

Not necessarily great playing these games before the election will just destroy the Republican base even further. They’re beginning to lack all credibility. I think think that they should focus on defeating Democrats and not focus on defeating Republicans trying to hold on the majority.

Hello We have a recipe for losing power and we will never regain it if we can continue to fight internally. Reagan talked about 80/20
If you agree with me on 80% of the issues, don’t cancel me on the other 20%. Very stupid Republicans.

“the #Uniparty”

A very apt decision. Johnson will keep the foreign aid giveaways going and won’t rock any Deep State boats. The Dims are pleased.

He’s not going to be vacated. The point is to make the Rats save him and own his speakership so it’s not done in secret. I appreciate this.

The GOP should vote to change the leader of their own caucus.

Agreed.

I hope they get rid of him.

He deserves it, and while I hate sending messages (it’s unfair to the person used to make a point), there needs to be an end to this uniparty crap where on all the real issue the Democrats and Republicans are indistinguishable.

He sunk himself with his support for FISA and the 61 billion to Ukraine. Screw him.

I doubt there is a majority to do that.

Showing that the Dems like him more than the right of his own party is at least truth in advertising.

The race is now on. Will Johnson be able to get Democrats to help him remove the vacate rule, before he’s vacated, is the question, as he’s already been working on it.

You make a fair point. The Reagan quote does apply. On the other hand, conservatives are always told to wait. This is not the best time to make a move. Wait, and compromise.

Meanwhile, the Democrats are wreaking all sorts of havoc.

I dunno. Tough call here.

Evidently, we have lost our sanity. Nobody wants far left and why most of us would like far right. We need to be realistic if we want to win elections we’ve gotta be right of center.

If nothing else, this WILL prove (again!!) that Uniparty RINO Speakers MUST depend on Dems to retain Speakership.

If they force this and the rats save Mikeee it would certainly shine a light on the truth that we already know.

This privileged motion was needed before the Ukraine vote.
It makes no sense now.
I’d prefer to wait til the lame duck session
