I thought he was sincere about changing things and that he wanted to change things but couldn’t at this time due to simple numbers reality. And the numbers reality is in fact reality. He doesn’t have the numbers to stop anything.

But his previous statements of just giving him more numbers and he would bring the changes the evolving Republican voter wants…are not reality. He is a liar. He is a fake. He is not the answer.

His new invocation of W’s “Axis Of Evil” and his complete deep throat of the Pentagon and the CIA and the FBI that he so embarrassingly whored himself out for the past 24 hours…is frankly unacceptable.

He’s not playing long game strategy for changing anything.

Mike Johnson will NEVER stop or try to stop sending your taxpayers to fund foreign wars, he will NEVER stop lining the pockets of the Defense industry executives and politicians, he will NEVER question or attempt to hold the Pentagon or State Department accountable, he will NEVER provide proper oversight of the intelligence agencies.

He has been bought.

He is a fraud.

He has to go.

Follow the lead of Thomas Massie and toss Mike Johnson out on his arse.

Republicans must do better. And until a Republican Congressional leader that will work to implement what the new evolving Republican voter demands from his or her party arrives who will kill what has been party business as usual, the current Republican office holders must be punished. They must feel it. They must be made to realize that such failure of leadership that has for too long been the status quo of the DC GOP will not be tolerated.

Bunk Moreland, you were right. I allowed myself some hope. Johnson seemed different.

But Mike Johnson sucks.

Anyone who will take that job will do the same thing. We tried to tell y'all this when KM was still SOH.

It’s not the person in the seat, it’s the seat itself right now.
The Republican Party has one seat majority….how do you expect anything to get done?
I think its crap too, but just being realistic
Trump needs to win, we need to win the senate back by 3-4 seats and house by 15-20 and then you can see actual change
Till then we will continue this crap

An attempt to change out Johnson before the election would probably lead to a Hakeem Jeffries speakership.
They should wait until after the election to oust him.

Trump gave him the go ahead on the Ukraine aid. Israel gets 26 billion. Trump has always been an Israeli pole smoker.

I agree but wonder why every single last one of them has flipped once in office? It happens first when we send them off to DC to bring change. Once they get there before long they have changed their tune. By the time they are speaker they understand the rules of the game. So when they run for speaker why would they make promises they know they aren’t going to keep? It’s political suicide.

Until Israel and Iran started trading missiles, I was 100% against helping to fund Ukraine but then this situation sort of slapped me in the face and opened my eyes. I’m still 90% against it BUT if the Iran/Israel thing gets out of hand, we need Russia bogged down in a quagmire in Ukraine as much as possible because they’re aligned with Iran. Last thing we need is Russia, and potentially China, getting in on that action. I don’t like the money we’re pissing away there but if it distracts Russia and prevents them from entering a broader war that breaks out in the Middle East, then ok.

At this point it would be better to give the seat to democrats. Our rhinos just do what ever the democrats want anyways . This idea we just need more republicans in the house is bull. Democrats have caught up to republicans in the house because of what republicans are doing .we need republicans who care about the country and their voters more then stealing our tax dollars.

To be honest, I was also in favor of the move to oust McCarthy. I think it is worth showing once in a while what power a vocal minority can wield. I didn't necessarily see that process as dysfunctional, I thought it was healthy. The Squad could have done similar things a few years back, but they somehow get put in place.

SFP and Roger were the ones who told this board over and over that getting rid of McCarthy was a road to nowhere.

I'm upset about Johnson's flips on FISA and Ukraine, but I don't think ousting him now is the way to go. But, I understand wanting to burn it all down. America First just doesn't have the support to get someone in the House to hold the line.

What's most interesting to me is how MTG wanted to stick with McCarthy and Gaetz wanted him gone, but now MTG and Massie have the pitchforks.

You should consider the possibility that you’re wrong. Maybe MJ knows things you don’t and understands things you cannot comprehend.

What’s more likely?- that there’s a vast conspiracy that swallows up even the most ardent and sincere leaders we elect, or that you don’t know what you’re talking about?

Has he had his primary?

If not, then will enough people be willing to vote for the candidate that admits he is a Democrat rather than the one that says he is a Republican but is a freaking lying dirt bag?

Hes just another compromised coward. The usual "conservatives" will gaslight per usual telling us we have to lose first to win later(which theyve been saying all my life)

Given the number of Republican RINOs in the House, if we toss Johnson then Jeffries takes his place. That will mean the end of all the Republican-run Committees investigating Joe, Hunter, election bs, et al, and back to focusing on 'gun control', massive spending Omnibus Bills, 'insurrectionists' and electoral 'fairness' (I.e., illegals voting).

We will have to ride it out until we see what happens as Trump gets closer to a guaranteed win at the polls, and the Dems go rouge...again. Given what is on the line this time, I think something really big is in the works. One thing is for sure, corrupted talk and voting won't solve anything; it will only heighten the passions.

The margin has never mattered. He would betray the nation if he had a 20 seat margin. You need a buffer to push things through, but you don't need a buffer to put a stop to things and refuse to put certain things on the floor. Johnson could "win" by doing nothing but he's a coward and does exactly what a Speaker Jeffries would be doing. This jackass got up and cast the deciding vote on the warrant requirement for FISA. That was not about the margin.
