Massie: I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate that was introduced by @RepMTG.
He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker.
quote:
Speaker Johnson has led the GOP to pass:
1) an omnibus that spends more than Pelosi’s highest year
2) an expansion of the domestic warrantless surveillance program
and this week he’s pushing
3) Schumer’s dream bill which contains $100 billion of foreign aid, mostly for war.

It really doesn’t matter. They will just nominate another person to commit the next betrayal. Rinse/repeat.

Sadly I think you are right. I’m thinking now vacating these worthless speakers and slowing them all down is the only way to truly delay the bullshite they keep passing.

Our congress doesn’t even control its own actions. Every new speaker is the same as the last, unconcerned about the wishes of the American people.

The big issue is that country is too divided. Too many polarized on either side that yields no work done. And when work is needed, they pass huge thousand bills filled with pork projects and studies to the grifters of the DC Cabal. They then call you an obstructionist if you fail to support their porkulous spending.
We are unfortunately stuck on stupid unless, a third country first centrist party is formed and makes headway taking enough Republican and Democrat seats in the House and the Senate to force them to work together to get to a majority. Then the judiciary needs a good flushing of partisans.

Yep, this pound of flesh crusade is a failure. You'll keep getting worse, not better.

Maybe at some point the reps will actually listen to their constituents rather than lobbyists

Greenwald said Johnson got 'turned out' once he became Speaker.
Allegedly super massive constitutional scholar and civil rights advocate and then does a 180 just because they take him to the scif and show him fancy classified stuff, make him feel important, and tell him that blood will be on his hands if he doesn't give the IC everything they want.
If you trade liberty for security, you will have neither one.
It's just cowardice. Should have been vacated as soon as he put the minibus out there.
Abandoned the Constitution. Abandoned everything he said he stood for. Abandoned the border. He's Jeff Sessions.

We keep voting them back in. Will never happen.
Things dont change because the public craves BigGov.

Russ Vought is currently telling Bannon about a sneaky rule Johnson is using that ties Ukraine funding and funding for Israel together.
Saying it's procedural dishonesty and Johnson is a neocon at heart.

Corporate America craves big government and corporate America and their lobby armies also pick the candidates that run. That's why when these republican politicians find themselves in the spotlight, they tend to hide like cockroaches, because they know they weren't paid to be anything remotely resembling a "conservative".

We're blaming everyone but ourselves, the voter.

The absurdity of republicans is that they allow MTG to control everything. That’s how weak republicans are.
Posted on 4/16/24 at 10:44 am to RebelExpress38
Why does MTG and a few other retards get to control things in the Republican Party?

I think the deep state (cia, fbi, whomever) has threatened most of them and they're scared to push back.

There's blame there, sure. But what can you vote for? The candidates aren't chosen by you, their campaigns aren't funded by you, the lobbyists they have the most contact with aren't paid by you. All you have to go by is what they say and run on and then you have no recourse short of "insurrection" or emails they don't read, phone calls they don't take, carefully managed town halls or listening sessions you likely can't get an invite to or a voice at. And when you do vote them out, once again, the board is set before you even get that vote.
I think you put too much blame on the voter.

Why does Johnson get to make promises to become Speaker, and then schitt all over the people he made promises to and continue as Speaker?

Because he wasn’t going to be able to uphold these promises without doing some other things. Holding issues hostage is not the way to go about this, especially on issues like Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan. Lack of awareness and complete ignorance, mixed in with narcissism. The loudest are usually the dumbest. MTG fits that perfectly.

Yes they should. But I don’t see a great alternative
