Mike Johnson , Speaker of the House is gonna be on shaky ground. On November 17th , the Issue of the Debt Ceiling returns along with War , cutting America's retirement . Chaos will resume Congress . |
NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(1)>>This new guy is crazy, but has flown under the media radar for the most point. I join millions of Americans is offering a resounding...Who? No because he's been there for about 5 minutes, but Republicans are going to spin this as somehow reasonable to put him 2 heartbeats away from the Presidency after dragging this unnecessary shitshow out for the past few weeks .And sadly a lot of Americans will either buy it or ignore it.In any other country the Party that had just pulled this nonsense would be unquestionably out of office after getting beat down in the polls in the next election. So just remember when Kevin McCarthy held a moderate stance in reaction to Jan 6th, and also decided to work with the Democrats in order to keep the government functioning weeks ago. Out of the frying pan, and into the fire. This dude is gonna be a way worse than McCarthy. Buckle-up for the ride. We have NONE of that now. But this is America where apparently a percentage of voters are still not getting that the modern Republican Party is a total loss that has zero interest in governing.(1.2)>>My choice for Speaker was Jim Jordan , not Mike Johnson . Jim Jordan should have been elected Speaker , but I digress , but Johnson is not going anywhere , he the perfect go between Biden and Left as far the MAGA Republicans are concerned . Seems like electing him Speaker is a good way to put his extreme views on EVERY media radar though, this is the guy that's gonna be leading any negotiations on the budget or any other House bill. but they don't have much choice. Freedom Caucus needs to vote for one of their own, so either you deadlock the House forever, or pick the least known guy to try and run out the clock until next November 2024.His own colleagues don't know who he is, lol. When Susan Collins was asked about him, she said that she will have to Google Mike Johnson to find out who he is. at least 3 Rs who were not earlier voting for him, and then did, literally said that the was that they didn't know who he was. Even though this guy has some of the same problems as Jordan (election denying, etc), he is not as well-known for those views. So he was able to sneak by without the same level of public disapproval.Jordan was put down for having barely any legislative experience and I think would have been the least experienced Speaker if elected. So the GOP eventually nominated and voted in Mike Johnson, who is the least experienced Speaker to have held the position upon appointment. Genius stuff. (1.3)>>Johnson is a shill for the Israeli lobby and Military Industrial Complex . In exchange Israel gets billions of our tax dollars, without so much as even a debate in Congress.If anyone questions our tax dollars going toward funding Israel's apartheid against the Palestinians, war crimes, or war crimes to enforce apartheid, they're beaten down and accused of being anti-Semitic and/or terrorists.The Dems need to use Israel to get what they want. They know Reps do anything for Israel, so put it in a joint package - take it or leave it. Help Israel or don’t help them. Call their bluff.It's likely due to the lack of visibility. Jordan's a well known name, this guys been relatively unknown - voting for Jordan in a district that voted for Biden is a death knell, but voting for a guy that moderates haven't paid attention to? That might not kill your career. (2)>>(the congress) agreed so swiftly to have a house speaker is because Israelis need their needs met. Ukraine is in the dumps as far as funding that proxy war He must have got the phone call from Vlad. Mike Johnson, the new House Speaker, tells a gathering of "pro-Israel" donors he personally assured Netanyahu that Congress will back the war "unwaveringly, till the end". Who's this guy is he running for President ??? Unless you don't give money to Israel like Ukraine , you'll be branded with a name . Whatever else you might think, don't expect there to be a viable 2024 presidential candidate who isn't "the greatest friend of Israel". Even if one were to try to run, he'd be tarred and feathered as an anti semite (and we've seen that movie many times in the past). Such an insane choice for a Speaker! I still can’t believe this is the guy who got enough votes from Republicans in the House. Says a lot about those so called “moderates”! At least nothing this guy wants has a chance of passing the current senate. I’m so tired of this lie. It’s NOT something all Christians believe in, so this guy needs to stop talking for all of us. The majority of Christians not too long ago believed Israel today is the church, not some UN created nation in the Middle East.It's amazing all the bootlicking that comes from the speakers at this conference.Actually, since I am aware of the position of these politicians (and also of virtually all Republicans and Democrats in high office) viz ร viz Israel, I'm not really surprised.(3)>>Johnson served as a member of Trump's legal defense team during both the 2019 and 2020. He served on tRump’s legal team during his 1st impeachment and wants to restrict abortion access and prohibit same-sex marriage. Republican members of Congress unanimously chose Mike Johnson to be their speaker knowing who he is and what he did.Other than former President Donald Trump, he is arguably the most culpable federal elected official in what transpired on Jan. 6, 2021.I told you “drain the swamp” had meaning. How many lobbyist swamp rats in the House showed their true colors in finding a new Speaker as soon as McCarthy got ousted. Are you paying attention? (4)>>This speaker is going to have just as hard a job as McCarthy before him. Mike Johnson of Louisiana, who finally won the speaker’s job.Little wonder he scrubbed all of his social media accounts. Ducking and diving and running away from the truth is a losing strategy every day of the week. Mike Johnson is already reeling from the barrage of political blows raining down on him and we are only in round one. Toast.Shouldn't the Democrats reconsider Jeffries as their leader? The country just got much much worse than McCarthy with this guy. Seems like the young pup Jeffries doesn't have the political savvy that the ol' gal Pelosi has. Or did he really think a Republican would vote for him for Speaker? Naive. Very naive. Shoulda woulda coulda Hakeem. Well, if Johnson is the Christian he says he is does that mean he'll help the poor? Feed the hungry? Stop giving our tax dollars to corporations that pollute God's earth and treat their employees like dirt? If he is the upstanding family man he says he is, will we see a censure of Boebert for her mammary display and lap fondling of her date at a "family friendly" event? Will he censure MTG for showing a pornographic picture of Hunter Biden to Congress? Will he work on universal healthcare so that no person will go bankrupt if they get sick? Will he do something about the gun deaths since he seems so very concerned about working people not being born? I mean, heck, the guns are taking already born people from the work force and depriving the country of their Social Security contributions! And what about the children that die of gun violence? Think he'll try to fix that? Woulda coulda shoulda stuck with McCarthy or gone with Emmer. Maybe Hakeem hasn't heard the expression "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". Maybe at 53, he is just too young for the job.In light of the most current political events here in the U.S.A., I experience profound puzzlement. Congress will be stuck in gridlock as the two Houses will not agree on certain bills based on what he will allow to be voted on and what he won’t. Hope you enjoyed your big day. Just remember that it won’t be long before Congress has to pass another bill to keep the government operating or send the country teetering into disaster.
