Johnson could have passed a much smaller minibus avoiding a shutdown.

Why didn't he do that?
Then he could have kept his promise and brought single subject bills to the floor.

They need to get their riches before Trump gets back in office.

What happens to well intentioned people when they get to D.C.?

Yet another thread where you pretend like reality doesn’t exist?
If the single issue appropriations bills could have all cleared committee and passed on the floor, he would have done so.

Why did Trump endorse him?

how about Congress do their d#mn jobs and pass a legit budget and stop these short term bills.
There should be a law that if Congress doesnt have a fully funded budget by Sept 30, that they work without pay (and no back pay) until its done.

And made the Senate reject it - causing the shutdown.

Could he have though? He has a razor thin majority with a party that can’t decide what’s for lunch without having a knockdown drag out amongst its members.
And yes I know it’s part of his job as Speaker to circle the wagons and bring everyone together but when you were given the job because the first guy got voted out, nobody else liked the other options, and when you’re name came up enough people said “frick it. I guess I can deal with him. Let’s get this over with and done.” You don’t have much political capital or bedrock to sit on and just trying to make it work. It’s almost like an interim coach when the head guy gets fired midseason.

A much smaller spending bill Is impossible. Because it means that a lot of corrupt politicians didn't get their little financial perks. If they don't get their share of the spending bill, they'll vote it down.
They force all that bullshite into it...and then go to the public and cry about whoever is against it, is in favor of elderly and veterans not getting paid. Msm promotes those lies...and 10s of millions of idiots become outraged that some politicians want elderly and veterans to not get paid.
In the end, there are levers in place to always ensure the corrupt politicians always get what they want.

Tucked in the massive government funding package signed Saturday by President Biden is a provision banning the flying of LGBTQ Pride flags over U.S. embassies. But even on the same day Mr. Biden signed the package, the White House vowed to work toward repealing the provision.

As Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, a conservative Christian, scrambled for votes to get the bill passed in his chamber, he allegedly touted the Pride flag ban as a reason his party should support the bill, the Daily Beast reported.
Johnson got what he wanted, while I like it, it comes at the expense of bankruptcy.
