So why is Johnson still speaker

[AntonToo]

All elections have a consequence... losing a house race for speaker is one of them... why are you so fanatical about the truth that elections have consequences?.... why do you libs argue such mundane bullshit?... what the fuck is wrong with people that argue this kind of crap as people are dying from American weakness....

What’s the consequence dummy?

It’s same CR outcome that McCarthy was supposedly removed for.

Republicans are completely incoherent, like you.

Well, it is true that everyone already knows he's a weasel while Johnson was at least temporarily an unknown. I wonder when the cries of "RINO!!" will start.

I was crying "RINO" when it was announced he was running for speaker. It took 5 minutes to look at his very RINO like voting record to see he wasn't an actual conservative.
The only difference between him and McCarthy is Johnson wears his religion like a badge. But when it comes to policies and their voting records, there's practically no difference.

 

[YoursTruly]

It’s great to have a great speaker that prevented a government shut down. Now we are safe.

He didn't prevent the next one. All he did was kicked the can for the next debt ceiling increase and the next possible shut down.

Republicans aren't incoherent. They owned by lobbyist and special interest. They are, like the democrats, what they're told to be. This system they've allowed, is exactly how it's supposed to be FOR THEM. Everything seems out of sorts to us, because we the people aren't represented. It's the lobbyist that are represented.
This is why we are no longer a Republic. Because the very foundation of any republic is that the citizens elect someone to represent their wants and needs.
We elect them based on their promises to represent us.
The mystery comes when after they elected, they don't represent us, and we don't fire them for it.

There's several reasons. Party loyalty, misinformation in the news and on social media, "Lesser of two evils" voting. But it all boils down to "we the people" not holding them accountable when they lie, mislead and refuse to represent those who voted them into office.

The politicians are to blame for not representing us. But we're to blame for allowing them to continue.
And it's the same for Biden supporters as much as Trump supporters. Republicans or democrats, it's all the same.

Because elections have consequences.....

306>232...the consequence was it turned you all into perpetual victims.

 

[candycorn]

Didn't he just do what they removed Spineless Kevin for?

I mean more Democrats than republicans voted for the clean CR that everyone castigated McCarthy for.

What's the difference here?

Yeah, it’s baffling. Supposedly the fervor was that we were going to have to cut spending. He didn’t cut a penny but somehow the fervor of 6 weeks ago is no longer there.

Johnson gets a mulligan because he's still playing with the old Coach's team

House conservatives give Speaker Johnson a ‘mulligan’ in funding fight

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is getting a free pass from hard-line Republicans who are upset with his approach on keeping the government open with a “clean” funding extension, but are holding him t…

so when he caves again in January...what then?

 

[candycorn]

It depends on CR's content, both times. Gee OP, why did more Democracks vote for it the second time?

So what do you like about this CR as opposed to the last CR?

Incidentally, to demonstrate how cracked Democracks are cracked, they enjoy saying the Republicans voted McCarthy out, pretending as though the Democracks didn't, when in fact, all of the Democracks voted McCarthy out.

No, the GOP voted him out. Matt Gaetz- R of Florida toppled the speaker.

Besides, we Republicans like Johnson much better, he's MAGA. That's what really has your panties in a bunch, am I right?

Really? He just inked a CR with no spending cuts. I thought Chip Roy and Gaetz were MAGA.... They voted against it.

Here is where you make a snide comment in place of actually trying to explain your pretzel logic.

We like Johnson, thats why.

 

[Billiejeens]

Sure they are. While McCarthy had all the time in the world to do other things, Johnson is just doing a CR now just to keep the government open to get the matter temporarily settled as he works into his job dealing with all the loose ends McCarthy left behind.

No chance that you can educate creepy on how Government works with a few internet posts.
He doesn't have the prerequisites.

I'm not a victim you are... you're a victim of misinformation.... and its you that will feel victimized next November.... go prepare yourself for a long night on election night....

None.

Just the usual Republican hypocrisy.

If say the Republicans wanted to cut 100 billion dollars out of the budget, will the Progressive Socialists agree to it? Even easier so to speak. cut the 100 billion dollars from the next years increase. The size of government is massive and getting larger. And the problems are increasing. Republicans in any way to try to control the budget will take the hit. The two sides behind the scenes talk and argue and nothing gets done. Progs will not cut the budget. Progs always ring up the rich and corporate, etc. They never increase the taxes to the numbers they really want. And all the rich Progs could form an organization if they really want to and show the other rich the way and have more taxes taken from their wages and wealth. They will never do it. What we have are fraud Castros who will not die for the cause and not live with less either. And every day they yell and scream while enjoying the finest foods, drinks, desserts, vacations, mansions, yachts, small passenger jets, and all the rest of the accruements. And of course, they keep the peasants who are totally equal to them at a distance.

Red herring fallacy; failed attempt to deflect.

The thread is about Johnson, not Democrats.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

What are they disrupting?

Responsible governance and sound public policy.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

They should replace him with Jim Jordan.

A Christo-fascist with a fascist fascist.
