"It's just insanity" that there could be another push to oust a House speaker over a budget disagreement, and there will be trouble for the Republican Party if such actions keep occurring, former Rep. Pete King said on Newsmax Sunday about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to vacate filed Friday against House Speaker Mike Johnson.

As usual you are wrong with your reactionary responses.

Great post.

Well said——and well spat.

—”We are better doing nothing except voting for a speaker than passing the left-wing agenda.”

A false dichotomy.

Not at a standstill, Hakeem Jeffries will be running the show.

Hakeem Jeffries was brought to you by Gaetz, a snake in the grass.

Jonhson is a good conservative doing what he can, with zero help from Gaetz and company.

No, there are no consequences. Read history.

Reagan shut it down 5 times.

Don’t believe the lying press.

thanks, but not what I meant by “a stable house” which I didn’t bother nor think was necessary to define.

The Rats are pretty good at keeping the votes in line regardless of GOP objections. The capitulating RINOs are not; however, there was some initial optimism that Johnson would have garnered the America First votes as a normality. His inability to do so not only sucks with respect to the bills, but likewise has forced the issue of vacating. So all these things combined will discourage GOP support at the polls. Although I’ll vote regardless, I’m becoming disinterested in supporting a losing team continually replete with backstabbing, self-serving scum.

well, that is the problem. Mike Johnson is not working with the majority of Republicans who voted against the financing package. He broke the Hastert Rule, as well as, the rule that provides time for representatives to read what they are voting on.

He instead is working with the Democrats and against even the Republican base.

So much for the nonsense you just offered up, because you are supporting the wrong side in the fight, as is Mike Johnson.

There may be hope with the renewed RNC

RE: calling my opinion nonsense.

Dems united= normal and fine.
Our side united= nonsense.

Problem is we do not have any room for purity of principled action with a practically nonexistent majority. If that House majority is gone the Dems will control everything and it will be no holds barred.

I’m sure you and I agree on all the principles including on the budget but we will be discussing the fine points in an American gulag if we don’t unite and then win in November.

I reread your post and believe we’re seeing the same thing; notwithstanding the “stable house” misunderstanding.

“Actually there has been NO DIFFERENCE in a speaker Mike Johnson or a speaker Hakeem Jeffries, give me an example of ANY difference!!!”

Under established House procedures, the Speaker gets a nicer office.

Now I’ll wait for someone to give you a second example.

Right now, I have D+35 for the House in November.

If Johnson is kicked out by his own party, could be D+60.

There are about 2 dozen reliable backstabbers that’ll make sure the GOP remains toothless.

They were junk shut downs....2 or 3 days. One was because there was a big hoe down with Tammy Wynette.

Bad budget bill items can be deleted with a text editor.

The Democrats are not going to shut the government down over perversion funding.

Yeah and? You seem to think a shutdown here would have been disastrous, but that opposite it the reality. A shutdown was the appropriate move to make, just like they were under Reagan.

How will he be running the show? That’s only if the Rinos make it go that way.

This bill was a massive loss for us American loving citizens. The bill includes almost $1 billion for the NGO( sponsors of the illegal invasion) and half a billion for illegal aliens. And who knows what else is hidden in those 1200 pages trillion dollar bill yet to be discovered. But whatever is in there this bill is the biggest wet dream come true for RATS! Never in their wildest dreams would they have believed how easy the Republicans would bend over for them. They got everything they have always wished for. We American citizens who work hard and can barely make end meets have to foot out the bill to house to feed and medical for the illegal criminal invaders. Unbelievable! I say kick them all out better yet come on Russia or china nuke the crap out of DC!
