  1. The sign of true democracy is to send away more tax payer's dollars to non-democratic international swindling organizations/countries ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ what a joke.

  2. My Johnson is a joke! He doesnโ€™t understand the meaning of separation of church and state and will eventually bury the MAGA GOP!

  3. Imagine if all the war funding stopped during a gov shutdown. Bet it'd never shut down again.

  4. MAGA Mike Johnson huh..

  5. I canโ€™t wait for Trump to release the college debt relief applicant information! Aka the FREELODER CHRONICLES.
    Got the popcorn ready. These beggars are ok with the entire country struggling while record inflation, record crime, record cost of living and record fuel costs destroy this country. Keep them hands out SUPREME COURT SAID PAY YOUR OWN BILLS ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  6. Mike Johnson will slice the pie into two pieces?
    Who gets the big one?

  7. Would be nice if the parties would work together again for the good of the people!

  8. You know they will come to an agreement at the last minute after much kabuki.

  9. Fascist GOP Johnson has not got that in his head yet.
    He supports that Fascist #45 &,will obey his overseer.

  10. Mike Johnson trying to overthrow the government! Kremlin's gremlins!

  11. TOXIC SICKENING CHEMICALS, EXHAUST GASES, COOLANTS, FUELS, POLLUTING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. HAZARDOUS AIR QUALITY, RESIDENTIAL DRINKING WATER CONTAMINATION. AIRPLANES, CLUSTERED HOLDING OVER, TRAINS RUNNING TRACKS, SAME VACINITY. VIOLENT RETALIATORY VIOLENCE, BRISTOL VIRGINIA

  12. Democrats care about israel and their puppet Zelensky more than Americans

  13. Blah blah blah! If it doesn't get passed because of the democrats, then it's all the democrats fault! Simple!

  14. I hope the conservatives hold fast and don't acquiescence to the needless waste of money. No more trivial $20 million funding for studying frog mating calls! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿค‘

  15. The House canโ€™t get anything done because theyโ€™re too busy scrambling to avoid shutdown after shutdown.

  16. How about congress support, should not matter the political party!

  17. GL! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  18. Only a Party that just GAVE AWAY $2 TRILLION to the wealthy would have the balls to constantly want "spending cuts!!"

  19. dems/globalist already control ballot box

  20. Speaker johnson is a coward.

  21. if closed repubs all repubs salary and benefits should be frozen for one month for each day the shutdown lasts.

  22. As if democrats would do anything to help Americans

  23. Since neither party wants to be blamed for a shutdown less than a year before an election, I suspect whatever Johnson is proposing will pass.

  24. Mr. Johnson has no johnson. He will not be "speaker" for any length of time. "no length" johnson will be his historical name politically.

  25. I doubt it. Seeing as how Dems voted with McCarthy and then he flipped on them.
    Lots of feel good stuff for GOP.

  26. Big NO for a Government Shutdown. Especially for Families like mine that Survives Through Federal Support. Do Whatever it Takes to Prevent that from Happening! ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ 

  27. Republicans make mole hills into mountains. Their constant drama and outage make them more qualified to be professional wrestling promoters than congressmen. It's like a soap opera on capital hill.

  28. There is no need for this 2-step strategy, the CR can go ahead as a whole. Breaking it up will only create problems in the future as it will create more timelines for partial government shutdowns.

  29. Where's Jesus and the 12 apostles when you need them?

  30. Shut America Down! It ain't working!

  31. It has to be done by Friday (AND it requires 72 hour advanced notice to allow time to read it) – so the actual deadline for an alternative Bill is tomorrow. House Repubs are poster children for incompetence.

  32. That's an awesome dress!

  33. Shut the government down the dems are playing games like they always fo

  34. Here's another piece of evidence proving that every branch of your government is corrupt

    Four days ago, over 500 high-ranking government and military officials were charged (not arrested) for soliciting prostitutes from a Washington DC brothel.
    That brothel was set-up and ran by Chinese intelligence operatives. The brothel was in operation for more than 3 years, and was under constant surveillance by Chinese intelligence agencies (via Fiber-optic Cameras,sound recordings.๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  35. Let's all hold hands and pray.

  36. He will get the support he needs. Get ready for the nonsense (IRS cuts) afterwards
