It's not the only way government works, which is the problem with the over-reliance on the meme.

So, if true, how is getting rid of him going to help?


They'll never learn.

The next incarnation will be worse than Johnson. They just want vengeance.

That's okay, you are already the butt of several around here. It's the way our government works. Everyone is broke unless the house appropriates the funds. The Speaker decides what bills come up for a vote and when.



But Muh Memes!

Apparently expecting the House to do its main job is a meme.

If you honestly don’t think that an amnesty matters I’m not sure why you even care about the future of the country. It is already lost.

A bunch of Boomer MAGA types have, too. Any government shutdown should cut off SS/Medicare payments.

If I remember then next potential shutdown comes up in September. In an election year. Remember how long it took to get a new SoH? Say they get rid of Johnson... I can hear it now... "It's just too imporant to keep the government, the only electable speaker is Jefferies"... by one or two republicans in uncompetitive races.

Lots of public support from voters (among both parties)




Establishment republican politicians and republican voters are not the same thing. I've seen one hell of a lot more support for a blank check to Ukraine from republican politicians than I have voters, and so have you.

Do that and all working Americans should refuse to pay into it. You can't take something away from somebody who spent their life paying into it.

They/we want somebody who will keep his/her word!! That's all. The main reason nobody balked at him being Speaker was his voting record on Ukraine. He voted for the first Ukraine funding bill, and 'no" on every subsequent vote. So when he said he will not bring a bill to fund Ukraine before the border is secure, then he should keep his word.

Do you have a "choice" of whether to pay into SS or not, because if you do that's news to me?

Do you have a choice whether to pay taxes on any government program?

If republicans are just going to implement the marxist democrat agenda, I would just as soon it be the marxist democrats in power when the collapse happens. Even the greatest country in the history of mankind cannot sustain a government ran by marxist democrats, and marxist democrats lite. The purpose of the republican party is to oppose, stop, thwart, and destroy democrat policy, philosophy, and agenda by any and all means possible. If they fail to do so, or refuse to do so, then it doesn't matter.
