Social Media Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Former President Trump's backing of Speaker Mike Johnson amid threats from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to force a vote on ousting him has injected further drama into the ongoing power struggles within the House GOP conference. Trump, a key figure in Republican politics, expressed his support for Johnson during a press conference, emphasizing that the Speaker is "doing a very good job" under challenging circumstances. Standing alongside Johnson, Trump praised the Speaker's leadership, acknowledging the complexities of the position and affirming his confidence in Johnson's abilities. Despite Greene's motion to vacate, Trump's endorsement of Johnson signals a rift within the Republican Party, with the former president throwing his weight behind the current House leader. Trump's remarks underscore the delicate balance of power within the GOP, as tensions between different factions continue to simmer. Greene's move to challenge Johnson's leadership adds another layer of uncertainty to an already volatile political landscape, with the potential for further division within the party ranks. While Trump expressed his personal friendship with Greene, he made it clear that he believes Johnson is the right person for the job, emphasizing the importance of stability and continuity in leadership. However, Greene's intentions regarding the timing of the vote on her resolution remain unclear, leaving Johnson and the rest of the House in a state of uncertainty as they navigate critical legislative priorities. As the House GOP grapples with internal strife, Trump's endorsement of Johnson sends a message to party members about the importance of unity and solidarity in the face of external challenges. Yet, with Greene's motion looming over the horizon, the future of GOP leadership remains uncertain, highlighting the ongoing power struggles within the party and the broader implications for its political direction. 13.04.24 Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The false narrative they created from 2016 until 2019 was that Donald Trump, who has enjoyed all the blessings of this great country, decided at age 73 to become a Russian spy. One of his main accusers on any TV show that would have him was Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA). As all too often happens, it turned out our favorite finger pointer Swalwell had been consorting with a Chinese spy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect Donald John trump is a greater asset to Putin than the American people he with the help of a cowed frightened little man (the speaker) are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory betraying the Ukrainian people and American ideals many of us Americans see it and are horrified.we see what they did with the border legislation and women’s rights…… 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always seem to 'forget' that in his first week as Campaign Chair, Paul Manafort was sent to Spain to hand GRU asset Konstantin Kilimnik detailed internal polling data from trump's campaign. "Somehow" that data reached the GRU's Internet Research Agency in St Pete, who then produced fake stories about HRC or other Dems and fed it to the social media accounts of specific voters in key Swing States. Sadly, the then-coopted AG Barr controlled the narrative when Mueller completed his investigation, and also redacted key portions of the investigation. Later, however, the Repub-chaired SSCI issued a 1000 page report that carried the entire Manafort-Kilimnik link. Much later, when the so-called Durham Investigation of the Investigators was ongoing, Durham 'decided' not to pursue the link, despite it being raised repeatedly with his team. As for trump being a paid spy, that accusation did not come from Democrats, but rather from an open-mike chat between then-Speaker Paul Ryan and future Speaker Keven McCarthy. Dems used "witting fool", not paid spy, as the Kilimnik connection, inter alia, showed the cooperation between trump and Russia. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Walker88 Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 I guess trump, who has no clue nor care about how the US system is supposed to work, forgets that the job of the House is to legislate, something it is not doing in any way under the whackadoodle Talibangical Johnson. trump probably doesn't even know that Presidential Executive Order isn't the only way anything gets done, but rather most Bills originate in House committees. Those 435 Reps are not Performance Artists, though anyone watching the antics of the Freedumb Cockups and the rest of the dross in the House majority Party might be forgiven for thinking otherwise. I suppose trump's use of 'good job' relates to Johnson leading the block of the bipartisan Border Bill, because trump needs the border issue around which he built his campaign, and if anything is solved, all trump has left is empty slogans and hyperbole about all the 'bestest, unbelievable' ideas he supposedly has, despite his 4 years in office proving he has no ideas at all except family grift and vindictiveness, and then insurrection when he loses. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eric Loh Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 6 months from obscurity to current Trump’s pet poodle. Just like Mike Pence, Kevin, Cruz, Rudy, Cohen etc that went too close to the hell soon have their wings clipped and thrown under the bus. Mike will very likely meet that same fact soon. Trump is toxic and radioactive. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump has been playing with the Russians for 40 years: In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On January 20, Biden's term would end, and Harris', so the 2nd in line would become president. Edited April 13 by Danderman123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Little Maga Mike's conversations with God, I wonder if he receives dispensation for lying, bearing false witness, and worshipping a false idol. During his press conference with Trump, besides lying, he appeared to be swooning over his Messiah's every word and nodding his head like a bobblehead cat in agreement with every falsehood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
