House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) celebrated Democrats seizing the House by unprecedentedly relying on the opposition party to force President Joe Biden’s priority of Ukraine border defense funds toward a full House vote on Saturday.

“We look forward to every member voting their conscience and their desire, and that is exactly how this process is supposed to work and how the house is supposed to operate,” Johnson told reporters on Friday after passing a rules bill. “So we’re happy to provide that.”

I thought it was The Bee also. But it’s the truth, and heaven knows we get little enough of that from our ghastly media. They really foisted a weasel on us.

UniParty Spotlight – More Democrats Vote for Johnson Foreign Aid Bill Than Republicans

April 19, 2024 | Sundance | 550 Comments

165 Democrats voted for a foreign aid package brought to the floor by Republican Speaker Mike Johnson.  The measure includes $26 billion more for Israel, $61 billion more for Ukraine and around $10 billion for Taiwan.   151 Republicans voted to support the aid bill.

There is almost $100 billion in total foreign aid and approximately $0 to secure the southern U.S. border.  This is a “Republican” bill, that passed with Democrats, not Republicans.  The ideological UniParty is very real in Washington DC, and this vote was entirely against the wishes of most Americans.

We are in an abusive relationship with our government. There really is no other way to look at it.

WASHINGTON DC – […] underscoring deep intraparty frustrations with Johnson’s strategy, 55 Republicans voted against advancing the package — a once unheard-of GOP rebellion that has grown more common given their single-digit margin.

Normally that would be enough to scuttle Johnson’s plan, but 165 Democrats voted to bring up the bills. It’s the first time they’ve done so during Johnson’s speakership — an alliance that is likely to fuel calls from his most vocal critics to strip him of his gavel.

The House is now slated to vote on the bills early Saturday afternoon, and Johnson will once again need substantial help from Democrats to get them over to the Senate. Majority Leader Steve Scalise said Friday that he plans to support the package, while Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) declined to state his position when asked.

“I’m pleased that we were able to come to a bipartisan agreement,” said House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.). He added: “It’s working out the way the speaker wanted it to, which is that every member is free to vote their conscience … in a way they usually aren’t.”

The House structured the package so as to ease its consideration in the Senate, requiring less time and procedural votes to pass the upper chamber. While senators are scheduled to be out of Washington next week, there’s ongoing discussion about canceling that recess to take up the House plan if it passes. (read more)

It’s really not just Mike Johnson, the root of the issue is much deeper than just corrupt and detached Republican leadership.  The issue extends to every aspect of life and politics in Washington DC.  Every member is participating in a process to give money to other countries, regardless of whether the American voter wants that to happen or not.

There is a complete collapse of the governmental structure of the United States as it pertains to representative government.  The concept of representative government is completely gone, not even considered any longer amid the professional political class from both wings of the UniParty vulture.

I have no idea how this structural collapse can be fixed.  There doesn’t seem to be any entity willing to stop the nonsense as it relates to financial systems and U.S. foreign aid.

At a certain point amid all of this madness, you just have to elevate and accept the dollar-based U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (USCBDC) is going to happen…. in large part because UniParty spending like this makes central bank digital currency a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Too few people understand how that USCBDC issue will fundamentally change the dynamic of everything…

…. e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g!

House Speaker Mike Johnson == Yet another piece of evidence that the GOP is full of morons and dick-heads with no backbone or balls.

[US_MilitaryRules]

They sent him a 17 year old girl/boy and he boinked it! All on video. That is probably what happened to him.

[ducttape45]

Good point

[dforest]

Stuff a sock in it Zeeper.

“every member voting their conscience and their desire, and that is exactly how this process is supposed to work”
Speaker Johnson, I disagree!
Representatives are sent to D.C. to vote the desires of their constituents, not their personal desires.
All of Congress needs to take a high school civics course, and get back to doing what they were sent to do.

[DouglasKC]

Will you be happier with Hakeem Jeffries

as Speaker?

Heck 6eah at.least we can depend on him and trust him to do the wrong thing every time. Johnson is worse cause he deceives people and Stull does the wrong thing

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

I probably don't agree with Johnson 100%, but the title "We're Happy," is really clickbait. He did not say anything about Dems having a majority. The author of the article and those who quote it here are lying by omission.

I do think Johnson needs help with his public statements. He made another statement that sounded like he was talking about "white privilege."

Mods should change the topic from "Front Page News" to "Editorial."

[Fledermaus]

They become full of themselves.

[Fledermaus]

This man is a selfish twit.

He actually believes the Intel nonsense. He thinks Russia is going to roll tanks through Europe.

Talk about delusional.

[Fledermaus]

No, he doesn’t need their votes. Hs could just drop this crap altogether.

[Fledermaus]

Add more seats. Go to 876 seats and cut their districts in half.

[DPMD]

Some would say that pols should vote their constituents and their districts rather than their own conscience and desires. But not democrats like johnson.

Democrats have been unusually adept at inserting their moles in the office of the speaker. And republicans equally obtuse at spotting or stopping it.

[DPMD]

Jeffries or Johnson?

The ultimate Siberian Dilemma.

Mike Johnnson:

The Lord impressed upon my heart a few weeks before this happened that something was going to occur. And the Lord very specifically told me in my prayers to prepare but to wait. I had this sense that we were going to come to a Red Sea moment in our Republican conference and the country at large.

Look, I’m a Southern Baptist. I don’t want to get too spooky on you, OK? But the Lord speaks to your heart. And he had been speaking to me about this.

And the Lord told me very clearly to prepare. OK, prepare for what? I don’t know. “We’re coming to a Red Sea moment.” “What does that mean, Lord?”

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
Darlin', you give love a bad name
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me Heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free
Oh, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
Hey, you give love, a bad name

[Secret Agent Man]

They could

But deep state could also rig things with so many remote votes, or their neighborhood could lose power right before a vote

[cuz1961]

This man is a selfish twit. He actually believes the Intel nonsense. He thinks Russia is going to roll tanks through Europe. Talk about delusional. \/ . no no no they told him tanks and ww3 if HE didnt act to save the world !!! hes the world's savior ! thats why mike is pridefully smiling !! /$
