Is the clock ticking for Mike Johnson?

[Richard-H]

The only way Biden is slowing the invasion of illegal aliens is by declaring their invasion legal. That was the Democrat's plan all along, anti-American lowlifes that they are. MAGA

Utter nonsense!

Thousands of illegal are being stopped every week. The law requires that they be given a court date and released.

It's the House GOP that controls that law.

They're getting court dates up to 8 years away and we support them. If you can't see that 12 million phony asylum seekers is a bad investment, you'll never see. MAGA

They get court dates up to 8 years away because there are not enough immigration courts. Funding immigration courts is the job of the house.

Ideally, every immigrate should get a hearing within a week of entering the country - and held in confinement until then. But that would take a huge investment in immigration courts that the GOP will not consider.

I think that the Democrats should give in and let the GOP have their stupid wall. Once it's proven that the wall is a complete failure, perhaps the GOP will consider increased funding for immigration courts.

I don't think that's true. But Biden has asked for measures to allow immigration courts to process claims more quickly.

The border patrol, border residents, border mayors, governors and law enforcement, and big city mayors and governors, along with 90% of our people all agree that our country had an infinitely safer and more under control border with Trump. If you think Biden is doing anything but a horrendous job on the border, there's a lot of people who think you're delusional, including myself. MAGA

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Immigration is the House GOP's fault.

They can fix it whenever they want, but...

... since the 'won' the abortion struggle, they are failing horribly.

 

[Mac1958]

Chaos

MAGA does not want any Government that does not pander to their demands. They want government to shut down, want people to suffer

They may as well go full Neanderthal and put MTG in there.

In Their Quest For Dominance, Republicans Break Government At All Levels​

Just months into his dark horse speakership, Mike Johnson (R-LA) tries to scuttle across the same tightrope his predecessor toppled from, shepherding through the chamber, without sparking a mutiny, the bare minimum legislating Congress has to pass.

The dynamics are fundamentally unchanged from Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) brief tenure: Congress has to fund the government. A relatively significant chunk of House Republicans, given the extremely slim majority (which is getting slimmer all the time), won’t accept anything that deviates from their ideal, very parsimonious spending package loaded with far-right goodies. So the speaker is left with no choice but to make a deal with Democrats, leaving himself vulnerable to the ire of and possible ousting by his Republican colleagues.

“It’s reflective of a highly fractious party way more interested in performative indicators of power than the basic tasks of governing,” Seth Masket, professor of political science and the director of the Center on American Politics at the University of Denver, told TPM.

We now have a Republican Party where power, divorced of any cogent, animating policy aims, is king. Spectacle, muscle flexing, reflexive opposition and, most importantly, owning the libs, is the currency of the realm. That dynamic not only allows for no compromise, but makes compromise with Democrats a capital crime — even when that posture consistently leads to outcomes farther from this hard-right group’s stated goals, since they completely remove themselves from the negotiating table.

Open question for the board. Is there a single "animating policy aim" sought by the POT (Party of Trump) that is supported by a majority of Americans? One for which they are offering a clear solution, not vague talking points?

Margoriy Taylor "I banged guys at the gym when I was married" has already started to make noise a motion to vacate the chair.

ReNaziKlans continue to prove that they do NOT know how to govern.

Why are court dates so delayed one might ask?

Because that system is UNDERFUNDED

No, it's totally because Democrats intentionally refuse to enforce immigration laws. MAGA

Next she'll be advocating for Mike to go through a MAGA purification ritual. To exercise all his willingness for compromise. For Marge, either you are full on MAGAist or you're dead to her.

House Republicans in the Freedom Caucus have been warning Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for months that his grace period to run the show sans their ire is over — ever since the newly minted speaker first worked with Democrats to pass a two-tiered “clean” continuing resolution to keep the government open last November, just a few weeks after he was elected. As soon as Johnson announced his plan to push the two-tiered proposal that would keep funding the government at current levels, it became clear that Johnson was not the Golden Boy that his most outspoken backers had promised, equipped with some magic power to unite the conference increasingly run by extremists.

That CR ended up passing with Democrats’ help and outcry from hardliners — though Johnson claimed the gimmicky two-tiered approach was thrown in as a bone to the House Freedom Caucus. The far-right flank has been suss about the speaker’s allegiances ever since, though only Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) has so far nodded at the fact that the motion to vacate is still on the table.

Now just days out from another partial government shutdown, Johnson announced over the weekend that he’d worked out a deal for another stopgap bill with Senate leadership that would keep the government open until March. The same type of maneuver that got former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) canned nine months into his speakership.

Freedom Caucus members are angry, but appear reluctant, at least as of this week, to make use of the one-person motion to vacate threshold they used to oust McCarthy last year. Only Roy, who has suggested the option is still on the table, and Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH), who told reporters that Johnson “should never have been hired” last week, have nodded in the direction of retaliation thus far.

And here we were all assured that Johnson was a wild-eyed, buck-toothed, knuckle-dragging troglodyte who made his dogs and cats live together and wore white after Labor Day. Could y'all pick a horse and stay on it?

Another demonstration of how ReNaziKlans cannot govern. Idiotic purity tests is all they can come up with.

Three Toes as Speaker would result in huge Democratic majority in November.
