  • I don't trust Johnson to bring each part of a separated foreign aid bill to the floor for voting. Sigh.
  • @MrMetro-mt5qv
    The Democrats should let Magic Mike fend for himself.
  • @ld9044
    Get rid of that traitor
  • @johnpenley
    Who are they gonna replace him with ? A shift manager from Wendy's?!😁
  • @uncleterry2148
    All Americans should be furious about the amount of OUR money these politicians give to other countries. It’s like they get something in return.
  • @user-xx3et9nm9b
    Last time, I checked, we live in a democracy. Meaning the majority should decide. It is quite simple. If Congress votes for a measure, it passes, if it votes against it doesn't. However, we have a few morons, aka "freedom caucus" who are blocking a possibility of a vote. If the American people do not want to help Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, that is fine. But unless Congress takes a vote, we will not know what the American people really want.

    He gets fired, the GOP again goes into chaos. That's okay but we have issues that need to be solved.
  • @MattttG3
    allegedly Stephanopoulos is a favorite of the late night street walker
  • @MrWadwe
    George you still owe Nancy Mace an apology.
  • If you think Speaker Johnson is bad just until Stefanik becomes Speaker. To quote Jean-Ralphio; "She's the WOOOOOOORRRRRRTST!"
  • @mickgyver1068
    Just put the Senate aid bill up for a Simple up or down vote. Do your damn job little Mikey.
  • @HotFirePDX
    Things we don't have money for: Education, Healthcare, Infrastructure. Things we do have money for, apparently: Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan.
  • Mike Johnson needs to proceed to send more aid to Ukraine. Just because he got Russian money in his campaigns alledgely he need to support Ukraine and Now.
