Not at all. We lost all our individual spending bills which were going to finally replace the Omnibus. And the last bill that McCarthy presented was the last one we’ve had with any spending cuts. It’s been all downhill since then with Johnson, and we’re now stuck with this loser since Gaetz already spent our one magic bullet.
This has actually been the worst Congress I can ever remember. If they wanted to get rid of McCarthy, they should have had it ironed out who would replace him, and not with this clown.
“This clown” was the best they could do at the time. Does anyone seriously believe that McCarthy could have been replaced at the time with someone like Biggs or Massie, let alone MTG or Donalds?
That was always unrealistic. Johnson is a place holder whose election to the speakership can’t be judged on legislation alone. McCarthy was as establishment as they get, and had way too much power in the GOP. He was the band-aid that had to be ripped off if things are ever going to improve. He’s been replaced with someone who started out well, but who’s turned into a RINO almost indistinguishable from McCarthy. But that’s only because people ignore the kind of destructive power McCarthy wielded behind the scenes.
Replacing McCarthy with Johnson was just the next step in the battle. His time to be replaced will come. It may even happen in the coming days or weeks, but if it does, it will happen behind the scenes and only become public when Johnson announces his retirement. But, forcing a House vote at this time, would be tactically foolish. Rand Paul and those cheering him ignore such considerations.
