This is the biggest betrayal of the base of the party since George HW Bush broke his "read my lips" promise.

Johnson despicable scum and most be removed, not just as Speaker, but from Congress.

Anyone tolerating this is assuring our representative republic dies and is replaced by a Deep State, globalist oligarchy.

HR2 is one of the 5 bills the house will vote on.

The betrayal is in the Senate...where HR2 has sat since May of 2023. Schumer won't bring it to the floor for a vote. It includes finishing the wall.

Johnson is yet another career lawyer turned lifer government politician.

The Republican party is full of lawyers, not leaders.

Times change...so do priorities. “Fixing” the border doesn’t require more money. Ukraine does, and soon. The conflation of the two has always been a red herring, dragged around by the ignorati who bought into Russian propaganda, for reasons of their own, perhaps.

“The Republican party is full of lawyers, not leaders.”

************

Republican leadership is an oxymoron.

The Republican party doesn’t really want to lead.

In December, Speaker Johnson wrote a letter to the White House reiterating that NO FUNDING FOR UKRAINE would be considered WITHOUT BORDER SECURITY.

Read the letter for yourself. Where is that Speaker?

Let’s be clear: empty detention beds and more border patrol agents ushering in illegal foreign nationals isn’t “border security.” It’s more of your money spent on processing more illegals into YOUR communities more efficiently.

But the Left will tell you it’s “border security.”

Johnson says he changed his mind on FISA when he attended a SCIF meeting. He neglected to mention that the meeting was not about FISA, but various pictures, videos, receipts, accusations about himself.

his repeated pledge that the lower chamber would not pass legislation promising money to secure other nation’s borders while ours was still under attack.

This bothers me the most and without a satisfactory explanation is grounds for removal imho.

I don’t necessarily mean this as a defense of Johnson, or an attack either.

When Johnson promised to take care of the border before Ukraine, or having separate appropriations bills, or cut spending to lessen inflation, his supporters took those as promises. His (and our) opponents, however, take those as challenges.

It became their #1 priority to ensure that whatever Johnson promised would never happen, if for no other reason than to show us who’s boss, and it ain’t us. This is politically unnecessary, since whatever the House passes in this session is not going to get through the Senate, or signed by the White House, so if they wanted they could simply let the House pass all these promises, then go to the MSM and get them to announce how those rascally right-wingers want to destroy democracy, etc. etc. But that isn’t good enough for them; they HAVE to show Johnson that he can NEVER do what they don’t want him to do. And they will do the same if the Speaker is Jim Jordan, or Chip Roy, or MTG, or Donalds in his blackness. They HAVE to feel like they can get away with whatever anti-MAGA power grab they can.

(P.S. The same is true of abortion, but that’s a separate issue.)

The Republican establishment is absolutely unity with the Democrat establishment on multiple issues, including using our foreign policy to enrich themselves.

Big money globalists own the Republican establishment politicians.

Keep voting for lawyers instead of leaders. It’s worked out so well the last 50 plus years.

We can’t boot him now as it will impact the election. After the election we can skewer him.
