Johnson acts like a good guy, but he fails the test every time it's in front of him. Replace that wimp. Clearly they have leverage on him (feels like our chief justice) and he just rolled over.
Someone suggested the following plan to me:

1. Show up 1/3/2025 to congress
2. Participate in Speaker election (I was elected to the 119th Congress, after all…)
3. Take the oath
4. File a privileged motion to expose every “me too” settlement paid using public funds (even of…

"children", passing a bill to pass it is being a childMemphisAg1 said:
It will be interesting theater this year to watch Trump call out holdout R's who are keeping his legislation from getting out of the House. It could be RINOs, or it could be the extreme right who tries to hold a bill hostage for not getting 100% of what they want.
