GOOD!
Actions have consequences.
Greene and Massey need to get their heads out of their asses and come to grips with what the results of their actions would look like.

If they want to remove Johnson, get the electoral result and votes to do it in the next Congress. Right now, with only a 5 vote majority, nothing good would come from ousting the Speaker.

She’s an antiwar republican.

For that reason alone I like her no matter her silly antics.

If your view is MG should keep shut about spineless Mike until the election due to politics then hope you weren’t spouting we need to address abortion before an election. Ousting compromised Mike is the correct thing to do, but it’s not good timing politically. Same as the abortion issue last time, correct ruling but wrong time.

If Dems are getting so much of what they want that they are willing to go to bat for the current Speaker, how do they not already have control?

So HailHailToRubio loves him some Ted Cruz? Yet another reminder that Ted Cruz IS & ALWAYS has been a cold-blooded swamp reptile.

Ted Cruz routinely rails against the “Washington Establishment” as if he emerged in Washington like moss on a rock. Heidi Cruz is exhibit “A” in Cruz’s phony claim to stand apart from the Swamp. Cruz and his wife met while working for the Bush Campaign and were once billed as a rising political power couple in the mode of the Clintons. Indeed, during the Bush regime, Heidi Cruz was a National Security advisor to neocon grifter Condoleezza Rice.

Further, it is of extreme interest that Cruz’s wife worked for Goldman Sachs. Heidi Cruz also is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and worked on a task force that sought a North American Union. Both Goldman Sachs and the CFR are two of the well-springs for much of the current crisis. If that wasn’t damning enough, Heidi Cruz worked as a legal aide to Globalist kleptocrat Robert Zoellick, who later became President of the World Bank. Anyone tangently associated with Zoellick or the World Bank is tainted with the most malodorous Swamp Gas.

Zoellick represents the most corrupted elements in the Deep State: the money manipulators. Nation building and maintaining international order through managed trade and managed economies requires a massive Centralized State and a sprawling military that is willing to aggressively defend it's global interests. And a massive Central Bank to finance these operations. When people speak of the “Ruling Establishment,” it is shorthand for such powerful and vested interests like the CFR, Goldman Sachs & The World Bank.

Bannon is the basis for MTG’s stance. Cruz et al should argue with Bannon as he presents the case against wobbly pseudo Conservatives who always kick the action can down the next election road. Johnson/RINOs fFUND the corrupt mechanisms which guarantee a Dem electoral win. It’s the ‘Charlie Brown kicking the football’ thing. Again!

I contend that with the next 6 months of unmitigated chaos that is about to erupt across our nation, handing control to the Dems is precisely what we should entertain.

Let it happen on their watch. Their TDS-fueled policies of deliberately undoing everything that Trump did got us where we are. Let the ashes fall while their hands are on the wheel.

So the best this country can do for a conservative is a fricking loser who funnels taxpayer money to foreign countries, finance a proxy war, and not GAF about the border?

frick it, if MJ is the best we can do, let whoever else run this shite show into the ground immediately instead of bleeding us out slowly generation by generation.

I didn't know she represented Ted. She's only beholden to her constituents.

One term Ted is my Senator and has been, well, less than stellar.


This country is not in the shitter because of her antics. I certainly disagree with some of the things she pulls but, I didn't agree with everything Reagan did as well.

Just spitballing here, but have any of these great CONSERVATIVES had a comment on the Speaker being the deciding vote and voting for warrantless FISA on Americans going against EVERY conservative value in doing so?

He’s right as sunlight.

Greene is an idiot rage aholoc who just want attention.

Johnson is doing a great job. He’s from Louisiana and we stand to do well with him as speaker- a highly sought after position with tons of power. Louisiana just might benefit for once!

If the GOP was serious about doing anything, Ted would be speaker.

The Dims already have control.

They get literally everything they want because the controlled opposition GOPe gives it to them after pretending to put up a fight.

Prove me wrong.

I like Ted and I see his point, but there are secondary and tertiary contexts that add shades of gray to this debate.
