Former Fiscal Conservative Mike Johnson Considering Scheme to Expand Earmarks
Breitbart ^ | 04/22/2024 | Bradley Jaye

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is considering granting free-spending establishment Republicans and Democrats one of the top items on their wish list.

Johnson, after delivering crushing defeats to conservatives on government funding, warrantless spying on Americans, and Ukraine aid, is reportedly setting his sights on expanding earmarks.

Nah, he’s just Uniparty like 99% of them are.

People think R and D are different somehow, so when an R acts like a D they holler “He’s compromised!”.

No, he’s just the flip side of the same coin, a member of the Ruling Class with a different letter after his name.

The only thing that stands apart from the Uniparty is MAGA (Trump and his followers).

Trump or the Uniparty. That is the choice.

They aren’t blackmailed. They have also wanted more spending for their projects and purposes. They r’s and d’s love debt, and hate you. To think otherwise is foolish.

>> He talked a lot about how good he was but he’s turned out to be a big fraud. I have to admit that I was fooled by the things he said. I went from thinking I would like him to finding him repulsive.

Exactly the same with me. I supported him bigly when he was first posted as Speaker.

Now he’s dead to me.

>> Would you stand strong and stick to your principles if the dark guys threatened to put your wife and kids in a wood chipper?

After arming and hiding my wife and kids as best I could, I’d wait for a packed chamber and then read the details of the “dark guys” and their threats into the congressional record. The freaking Speaker of the House has power to resist that evil that greatly exceeds the power of We The Ordinary People.

But Mike Johnson has proven to be a gutless cuck — he doesn’t have the courage to do the right thing. In ANY circumstance! Even if his wife and kids were never threatened at all.

Any chance Louisiana can primary Nancy Johnson, or has that ship sailed already?

He’s got to be forced into retirement before the next Congress is seated.

Earmarks are the only effective way to impose party discipline. If you want Republicans to get our priorities passed into law, this is a good move.

“Doesn’t Trump support this clown?”

Last I heard, yes, he does. And that’s a problem. How many of these sleeper commies are lurking out there pretending to be patriots, just waiting for their commands to activate?

For a week I’ve been tied up with a death in the family, so am not aware of this issue first hand, but ... I was told there’s some nasty criminal stuff relating to his two sons. Could it have anything to do with that?

I heard Mikey has 293,000 reasons for flipping. That’s the amount of his kickback.

Is there some problem with the Louisiana Republican Party that would preclude a primary challenge?

Or voting Democrat is always an option.
