Thanks Daniel this is an informative synopsis of congressional wrangling.

At every turn, Johnson picks the swamp turn to drive down. The merits for more Ukraine aid is legitimate, at the very least support is required so as to bring an end game at some point. To just bring up $95 billion in supplemental spending at large, with no other cuts is wrong. Furthermore, Johnson has sold out conservatives in joining the Dem parade of spending with no cuts or revisions. No effort to return to pre Covid spending, no post Covid cuts, no across the board cuts, 1 % across the board? The Dems refuse to cut any spending, not one penny. Johnson is a total sell out to the Dem establishment.

Yes jumbo, I am the thunder and lightning.

Biden has added up to $8 trillion in new debt. Horrendous, on top of the Dems not reducing a penny in new spending.

Speaker Johnson showed some mettle today, going to Columbia and standing down Soros backed Hamas, Marxist terrorist sympathizers! Very good! Busted Schumer’s chops.

Still waiting for the Dems to support a 1% reduction in federal spending. Which was rejected in past years budget approval. What a joke, the Dem zombie party.

Just to be clear, a Democrat Speaker would never be supported to support a GOP POTUS on a topic such as this, or like the border, illegal immigration. Look at the Marxist, socialist Soros sponsored fanatics now in the streets. The public lauding of Johnson is the greatest example of the liberal corp media echo machine. Just a bunch of hypocrites.

Chuck Schumer is the worst and most negative force in American politics. He has corrupted the Senate, he alone polluted the Senate judicial process and created hatred amongst the nomination process. Only Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden were worse. His refusal to allow” amendments on Senate floor is another example. Schumer plays politics on every issue. His denunciation of Israel’s PM is only based upon Dem party American politics. He is a disgrace.

Just curious Daniel. I am not issuing you a challenge, but as a test of your confidence in your prediction, if I were to offer you a bet, one draft or bottled beer, or $100.00, if I took the opposite position and said Johnson would lose his Speakership over this, what odds would you give/risk my position against yours? 2-to-1 (lose-doesn't lose), 3-to-1 (lose-doesn't lose). Again, not real gambling, purely hypothetical and in good fun.

In my view it should.

“Then, when the Senate hammered out such a compromise, Donald Trump tweeted negative thoughts and that was that.” Except the Senate bill did nothing but accelerate moving illegals into the USA and nothing to keep them out. Enforce the borders with the same zeal that I face every time I have to present my US passport at customs when I return home from Europe.
