> Johnson has refused to say he would bring the bill to the floor of the House, potentially halting its passage. On Monday he criticized the legislation, which would provide an additional $60 billion of military aid for Ukraine, claiming it is **”silent on the most pressing issue facing our country” in reference to illegal immigration.**
(emphasis by me)
im, sorry but what? wasn’t it YOU, Mike Johnson, that just shut down YOUR OWN Border bill? am i living in crazy town? what the actual fuck people.
fucking republicans.
>However, the legislation could also be brought to the floor via a discharge petition, which would require the support of 218 members, including at least four Republicans. It would then be voted on like any other piece of legislation, though this is unlikely to take place until the end of the month because of the packed congressional schedule.
Wonder if there are four that would be willing to in the House.
Idk when will folks learn that republicans don’t ever want to fix the border. Not yesterday. Not today. Not tomorrow.
How much hope do we have for a few repiblican defections to actually make this happen? After this whole refuse to back Ukraine without addressing the border, then refuse the composite bill with the border included, then demand separate bills, and then finally refuse the separate bill because it doesn’t include the border debacle, he deserves to see the dustbin of history.
I really hope there are still 4 republicans who are not on Russia’s payroll and not afraid their own voters would kill them for doing the right thing. Letting Ukraine fail now would be a huge blow to democracies the world over.
Republicans don’t want border security or aid to Israel. Remarkable.
Current polls are showing over half of America is blaming Biden for this Trump led republican shutdown. Only 40% are blaming trump and the republicans. Dems suck at getting any message out.
It was a big mistake for the Democrats to go along with Gaetz to oust McCarthy. He was an ass, but he at least would allow Ukraine aid and such to go through. Thats a blunder that the entire world may pay for
Nah. They need to let this ride.
There may be a chance they could remove him if he was brought up to a vote, but that’s only a chance and you don’t know for sure that his replacement would be any better. The GoP can also blame the Dems for some of the chaos as well.
The GOP house majority is almost guaranteed to be a total shitshow for the rest of the year. They even have a narrowing majority that is just going to exacerbate things. Just keep pointing the dysfunction in the GOP and the fact that Trump is basically calling the shots from outside of office.
Mike Johnson our Bi-polar “speaker”.
Renaming post offices doesn’t address the immigrantiin crisis, but you let those votes take place.
Johnson can get bent with his bullshit about there not being any immigration in the bill. You and your fellow sycophants shit all over the bipartisan bill that DID have immigration language in it. They lie as easy as they breathe.
They call him “speaker” but not sure how he speaks with Putin and trumps Johnson’s permanently lodged in his throat.
He’s such a fucking wanker. Getting really sick of seeing his stupid face.
Dealing with this GOP House is like negotiating with toddlers. They don’t know what they want, except it isn’t whatever is offered.
Good. Something might finally get done in congress.
Good. Someone needs to govern and it won’t be the GOP. I wish them luck.
I hope this works. Johnson has been terrible
Gotta put the screws to these maga guys.
They are derelict, putting us at risk-it’s gotta stop. Just f’n DO YOUR JOB!
Just say excuse me and walk past him.
Why does he look like Stephen Colbert here?
He is owned by Putin, this is why he has no bank account records at all. He’s criminal
Do it!
Yeah, lets…why this hasnt been done until now will always boggle my mind.
Until such a discharge petition is actually on the floor, this is just more political posturing.
The Headline should of read: House leader Mike Johnson, actual Johnson.
Why didn’t they do a discharge petition on the previous one ?
Good luck finding any Republicans willing to put their country over their party/career.
If these idiots aren’t voted out of all branches of government this November this country is doomed
Mike Johnson is a member of Team Crazy! Team Crazy is headed by Traitor Trump. Mike Johnson does exactly what Traitor Trump tells him to do. If he disobeys Traitor Trump, he will no longer be Speaker. We all know being Speaker is more important than actually passing real legislation. Team Crazy doesn’t realize that real people are watching them flounder and laughing at them and the disgraced Traitor Trump👺. Vote Blue💙 for every election💙
The article mentioned a packed schedule for the House. What packed schedule? What a joke. If these people were in the private sector these guys would be fired so fast for their lack of productivity.
How come every time is see this guy I think ” child molester” ?
I hope we don’t keep funding genocidal Israel.
They should fight that hard to actually help the American people that are suffering everyday.
> Posting on X, in response to comments from Johnson, who he branded an “idiot,” Kinzinger said…
Damn I love incidental asides like that.
Alright. That’s it. American politics hasn’t been, does not, and will not work ever again. We are governed by a document crafted in a time when people couldn’t even conceive of a landline telephone or the electricity that would power it.
The world is orders of magnitude different now and maybe, just maybe, trying to govern via antiquated laws is a foolish endeavor.
Fuck it all. America 2.0 needs to be born ASAP.
And replace him with who exactly?
They need to show their work as to how immigration is our most pressing issue or STFU. How did we let it get to the point that merely implying a thing was so was sufficient evidence that it is?
Funny how they never thought of doing this when it comes to passing paid family leave, universal Healthcare, the child tax credit, raising the minimum wage etc. 🤔
I find it such a flawed system in our democratic system that speakers of the house can just refuse to vote on bills
They need to clear their schedule & get this done!!!
Doesnt this significantly raise the votes needed for passage?
