re: Folks, I Was Wrong About Mike Johnson…He’s Got To Go

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.

Both flipped. Massie supported KM pretty openly, too.
The issue is simple. It's easy to talk shite when you're a random House member. Hell, you can even be a hypocrite like the 2 above and Gaetz (Who voted to renew FISA in 2018). When a person gets the big chair, the spotlight becomes bright and the pressure heavy. Nobody wants to be blamed for destroying the GOP in an election year (which a forced shutdown would do, and that's the only bullet in the chamber).

Dont disagree with what you said but is goofball Tracey saying McRathy never worked with Dems to get something passed?

I just couldn’t believe it when I heard this bespectacled arse wipe stand up there and quote W post 9/11 bull shite as the bedrock of House Republican policy. And just absolutely swallow the cocks of the CIA, NSA, FBI and refer to them as gospel and above reproach or even question…I was floored. It felt like it was 2002 again. He actually said he was all for perpetual proxy war with no limits.
This was a new route by him. He was on a different level.
He’s now owned.
