I don’t believe it. I think it was taking out of context or referred from another time frame in the past.

“Sunshine patriots”! That’s Rich! You cowardly sell out the Constitution because we might have to fight hard to save it. You turn your back on it because you are afraid to fight for it. That is why the Constitution has been trashed. Give me a break. You are the epitome of a Constitutional sunshine patriot.

President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson held a joint press conference earlier today from Mar-a-Lago.
Keep in mind, the UniParty DC operation is constructed to remove Johnson and negate the Republican majority in the House of Representatives as a strategy against Donald Trump. As an outcome, Trump must navigate this shark infested water very carefully.
Despite his personal and private opinions of Speaker Johnson, Trump must position support as a method to stop the effort to flip the House prior to the November election. Keep this in mind as you look at “Republican” members who would appear to be targeting Johnson from a MAGA perspective. Even with all the stupidity of the Speaker on full display, removing Johnson right now would be tantamount to a hostile anti-Trump shift in the House…

Your short-sided attitude is why conservatives have been going around in circles and accomplishing very little for the past few decades. This was a fight that was always going to take longer than 4 years, and if Biden has temporarily reversed all of Trump’s accomplishments, the Democrats and the Deep State generally have seen their position weaken. You’re looking at the mid-stages of a war and declaring it lost.
Trump didn’t have the political capital to completely dismantle the deep state during his first term, but he weakened it and forced them to make risky moves in order to destroy him. Well, their stolen election and lawfare haven’t stopped him or us. Every day the Democrats are losing the support of groups that have supported them for years. The Democrats and the Deep State are in a very vulnerable position right now. It’s a shame we had to endure 4 years of Biden for that to happen, but war is hell.

Oh really? Have you taken to the streets yet? When you do that, then get back to me. In the mean time, if you’re going to try to fix things by working within the system, you have to have a plan. Ranting and posturing might feel good but it isn’t a plan.

Agreed, but not before the election. I love the kamikaze argument: E’ven though Johnson has conservative rating of 90+%, he went wobbly on a couple issues. Force him to vacate the Speakers chair immediately. It’s principle I tell you!” (😳 Someone interjects that we only have a one vote majority & that would mean a Democrat would become Speaker & they would officially give them control of all branches & btw, new Speaker Democrat Hakeem Jeffries has a 0% conservative rating). “Yes but at least a leftist Democrat would be honest about what they believe” (🤔 yes but he would also have control & the votes to enact everything that you claim to hate & be against) ‘What’s the difference? They’re going to win anyway. They’ll cheat! The one thing I can control is defeating establishment Republicans & letting them know who’s boss.” (🤨 But you’re knowingly handing it to a far left Democrat & giving them the power to enact disaster & mayhem...). ‘ They already run things anyway.” (🙄🫣😑.....Wow, did you think up this plan all by yourself? 😬🫡😵💫🥴)

He lost my vote long ago.
Biden is definitely a better fit for you.

Man, I hear you talking. But that is all you got is talk. You nip at the hills of the only man that stands to save America, yet you have done nothing to help him save it. You are what is commonly known as a loser.

Trump also said this:
https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/04/12/trump-flanked-by-johnson-im-not-a-big-fan-of-fisa-i-think-its-terrible/
"They put a lot of checks and balances on it and I guess it’s down to two years now, so that it would come due in the early part of my administration on the basis that we live up to the polls, because all the polls – we just had another one come out, we’re leading by a lot, but it comes up quickly. I said, 'You do what you want.' But I’m not a big fan of FISA. I think it’s terrible."

We don’t have to deal with the consequences of going on offense before you have our ducks in a row. Sometimes you have to be unorthodux in your approach.

RINO Johnson aggravates me too.
I do think trump is in a tough spot.
I’d rather wait to remove him until after the election.
unless he tries to hold a vote for Uke aid, then he gotta go, just wait til after election to elect the new speaker.
A do-nothing house could save taxpayers a bundle......
