Republican Says Mike Johnson ‘Lies More Than Anyone I’ve Ever Met’ As Chaos Grips House

Chaos continued to grip the House GOP on Tuesday as a procedural vote to pass the National Defense Authorization Act was tanked by fourteen Republicans who refused to advance the desperately needed military funding bill without attaching President Donald Trump’s voter ID bill, the Save Act, to it.
More than a dozen House Republicans tanked a procedural vote for the must-pass defense bill — once again over the GOP’s signature election bill, the SAVE Act.
The House has passed the SAVE Act three times prior, but it lacks the votes in the GOP-led Senate to pass into law. “The SAVE Act has become a recurring source of chaos for House Republicans, repeatedly derailing procedural votes and stalling unrelated legislation,” reported Axios’s Kate Santaliz of the ongoing headache the SAVE Act is causing House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Axios listed the Republicans who tanked the vote on the key defense bill needed to ensure the military stays fully funded:
quote:
Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (La.), Tim Burchett (Tenn.), Chip Roy (Texas), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Lauren Bobert (Colo.), Max Miller (Ohio), Victoria Spartz (Ind.), Eric Burlison (Mo.), Andy Harris (Md.), Eli Crane (Ariz.), Randy Fine (Fla.), Keith Self (Texas), Mike Turner (Ohio.) and Steve Scalise (La.) — voted against the rule for the National Defense Authorization Act because it doesn’t include an amendment on the SAVE Act.
quote:
Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) added some extra vitriol into the mix following the vote and accused Speaker Johnson of lying about allowing a rule to go forward to attach the SAVE Act to the defense bill.
quote:
Punchbowl’s Catherine Leffert reported Miller said of Johnson, “There’s one common problem here. It’s always been one person, and for someone who’s got the holiest tongue in the world, he lies more than anyone I’ve ever met.”

I just noticed Scalise voted against Johnson’s bill.
Is it an act?

He could have just jumped on knowing that the votes to tank were already enough. He had permission from the top.

Scalise is not to be trusted.
He’s straight up GOPe with guys like McConnell and Thune.

Yes. This Is The Way.

No we will not vote to protect this country if it means we cannot also protect the control we currently have over elections and the seats of power which are derived from that control.
Our representative government is a lie.

Speaker Peabody should get an Oscar and nut chaffed cream for straddling the fence..
I saw it's been 72 days and they've done nothing.

Doesn't Speaker Peabody, Thune and them get hounded and followed by reporters if they don't go to a microphone?

They way to what?
The SAVE act is not getting passed by this Congress, and the next one will be worse.

That’s a pretty good line

Now he’s saying he doesn’t have the votes for Trump’s version.
It’s a fricking 80/20 issue and these useless excuses for humans are still making excuses.
quote:
Their outrage has obscured an inconvenient truth for the Republicans locking arms with the president to push for the bill: It can't even pass the House — at least not the version Trump is pushing.
Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged as much this week, appearing to concede he does not have the votes to move forward with a drastic crackdown on mailed ballots that Trump has repeatedly demanded this year.

Bring on the chaos. Thune is so worried about nuking the fillabuster, he hasn't seemed to notice that standing up for it will also likely end his Senate seat as well.
I'm proud of these house members. First time I've seen Trump's House do anything worth a shite in a long time.

That's a damn solid excoriation.

I thought we liked individual bills, not ones w/other things tacked on?
