Rand Paul: Johnson is no longer the GOP Speaker of the Houser but Speaker for the Uniparty ...
X ^ | April 19 | Rand Paul

@RandPaul

It’s official: ⁦@SpeakerJohnson is no longer the GOP Speaker of the House, but Speaker for the Uniparty’s $1.5T deficit, warrantless spying on Americans, and a foreign aid bill with more deficit spending than Schumer’s budget buster.

The evidence to support it would be Johnson’s constant votes to secure the border and his constant statements in support of it.

...and absolutely no use of leverage to actually get what we want. Sorry, but hollow gestures are just not cutting any more.

Boohoo Mike Johnson doesn’t control the world with like a 2 vote majority in the house.

Grow up.

Johnson is a good conservative and a good Christian. Just because you got all wound up over Ukraine stories doesn’t change that.

The only thing that is going to save this country is Donald Trump being elected so work on that.

Johnson does not control the senate or the White House and he barely controls the House of Representatives.

At a minimum, Johnson should explain why he lied about securing our border before funding ukraine.

President Trump said that it is in America’s interest for Ukraine to survive.

Ari but the world is not always perfect the way you or speaker Johnson want it.

Exactly one thing is going to straighten out the border and the election is just a few months away at this point.

The Democrats pretending to be Republicans are trying to sabotage Trump by killing turnout.

They hate him. McCarthy hates him. Ryan hates him. And Johnson hates him.

Warrantless FISA used illegally to spy on Trump and the Uniparty reauthorized it. No one gets prosecuted.

They hate us so QUIT VOTING FOR THEM!

When republicans had the senate, what bills did Rand get through? It’s easy being just a vote. Rand has been saying he wants to reform social Security for a decade and has failed every time.

If MTG gets her wish, these republicans couldn’t get their acts together to get a speaker. Half this term has been trying to get a speaker.

If that were the case, we would have heard trump’s displeasure. Have t heard a thing. I believe he’s cool with it. He’s not a a shrinking violet. He’d be screaming all day about it.

It’s always been center left. If FR was around in the 1930’s, we all would have combusted by seeing what FDR did.

Every post would accuse another of being one of the following:

Hitler Lover
Stalin Lover
Limey Lover

or worst of all....An FDR Lover!

Johnson was a no-brainer for the mob.

Finally, Rand sees the light.

Now let’s see what kind of leadership skills Rand has. He should be able to shut this down with 51 votes in the senate. He’s that good he says. Let’s watch. This is his time to test his abilities.

lol. So true. It would have been nasty. Oh the best would have been, “the United States won’t last the decade.” I could hear that from many back then. Pity FR wasn’t around. The archives would have been a fascinating read.

One of the reasons I’m fascinated with reading the newspapers from the era, and the letters to the editor.

His silence is conspicuous that much is true. At this point the stakes are very high. A big strategic error now could cost him. I think they are conflicted on the best way to react but that’s just a guess.

I don’t think you addressed any of them correctly, but whatever, my points still stand. This is a much different country now, than it was not too many years ago.
