20 billion wasn't enough to give all the soy beans China wanted, so he got ANOTHER 20 billion!

Not to mention taking $50,000.00 wrapped in a paper bag and disappearing it.

Never mind the cover up. This is the first time that there has ever been a shutdown and a house of congress is not in session. EVER!!!

THANK YOU! All it takes is one!

The AG has given Johnson 48 hours to swear her in. Things are finally moving now that Arizona has certified her election.

Until there are 218 signatories, any of the people can sign or take their signature away.

Mike Johnson is wasting, defrauding and abusing 93,000,000 dollars. Congress is bring paid to purposely keep the government closed because for the first time in history congress has a Speaker who is incapable of convening congress while we are in a shutdown crisis.

Vice President Vance, when I was 18-40, I never once joked about Hitler. None of my friends or even people I knew vaguely ever praised Hitler or talked about waiting for gas chambers.

We are stuck with right versus wrong and you're on the side of wrong.

The Attorney General is specifically designed as the highest law enforcement officer in the country. So why is Pam Bondi insisting that Trump is the highest law enforcement officer? Why is she being paid? There is no point in her job. Go back to Florida before Trump realizes you are stealing money.

I'd like to believe that but I'm not sure. They are so consumed with vitriol and hate, they may actually have convinced themselves that it is true.

If we can just keep the guns quiet. Remember Northern Ireland. Things CAN be better if we can just keep the fighting contained.

Everyone knows this was just the first step. There are miles to go.

First of all, it's not all of them. Included was the dead ones. And it's the same group that caused them to not be bombing in the previous 2 years. Israelis want to get back to getting rid of Netanyahu just like they were doing in the fall of 2023 before they were so rudely interrupted.

Never mind the ceasefire. He'll be the new Netanyahu. And he will think that's a good thing. Bibi couldn't do it in 2 years of bombing. Does anyone believe we can violently disarm Hamas? And how many US soldiers will be buried before we realize how stupid he is?

If the same percentage of people on the boats we're blowing up as drug dealers are innocent people as the ones that were sent to El Salvador as gang members that weren't, we are butchering more and more people. If you catch drug dealers, then arrest them, bring them here and jail them.

ICE is there to escalate tensions. Anyone trying to deescalate tensions is clearly Antifa and hates their America.

How is it that Republicans actually think this is who hates America?

And Trump has found the frog army in Boston because he has to call FIFA to move the world cup out of Boston.

Almost every other country has it. Israel is irrelevant. You sound like Israel has a singular idea. It's we who are unique in our refusal to provide health care.

It's beyond just giving a discount. It's to keep legal discounts that already WERE in place. Democrats don't want raising existing rates. Republicans in their fecklessness want that.

Without Mike Johnson's active participation, Democrats would not have been able to "close the government". Replace the Speaker so the government can reopen.

brianwhiting.bsky.social @brianwhiting.bsky.social · 1d

Can someone who has a Republican Congressman supporting the extending of the ACA tax credits tell me what will it take to call for Mike Johnson being replaced so that we can have Congress go to work and stop the Democrats from keeping the government closed? ALL IT TAKES IS ONE!!!

Wisconsin and Germany showed the world that while a lack of money can kill an election, having money doesn't mean winning one.
