Agreed. Mike Johnson made promises and then picked up McCarthy's play book.

Well, Jim Jordan is right and Johnson is just plain stupid if he didn't realize that...

Bannon covered this earlier. Sounded like Jordan was pissed.

Well they can bitch all they want, but Johnson is the best they’re gonna get. They are playing a weak hand and have to take their victories where they can find them. These “let’s shut down the government” showdowns never work.

I don't think they want to be in charge... Being in charge is hard work and it is a lot easier to sit back and say "we tried but we didn't have a majority"....

that guys twitter is mostly harping on GOP...Anything about Democrats it has no opinion just some kind of update...GOP, well, that's a little different tone as he tweets

so, give me a freaking break ... posting this here as some kind of news.

Twitter still sucks because people in political circles are biased...

Jordan I like
Johnson I like

carry on!

The party is clearly broken and is on the verge of not being salvageable. Too many of us know we have been sold out and the model no longer works. I don’t trust the republicans any more than I do the democrats, because I think they’re on the same team.

The shut the border or shut the government movement is very popular.

But the GOP has a commanding 1 vote majority right now. They can get anything passed that they want.

Reality is that we can't afford to have another speaker's race because 1 vote means we can have one GOP congressman who is actually a democrat switch sides and then the Biden Admin is off to the races.

You seem uninformed on the deal Mike Johnson just tried to make with Biden.

Wouldn't matter.

People today are only interested in sledge hammer politics and any compromise must be met with political destruction.

But I agree with most. I do not think this band of Republicans want to be in charge nor actually change anything. Save for a very few of them, they are all just puppets for the Washington Uniparty.
