So bipartisanship will cost him his job and not being bipartisan will ensure a government shutdown hindering his ability to hold the house.
I miss when the government was interested in governing

MODERATORS
He’s a placeholder for them to use to continue the political theater they have been allowed to use to waste money and time, in their continuing effort to prove the government doesn’t work. Sabotage. That’s the word and I’m pretty sure if there was any sanity this would be seen as the continuing sedition that it is by those that participated in an attempted overthrow of the government but still somehow keep their jobs. Why would they change tactics now?
Hopefully, the ongoing GOP clown show will force enough 'moderates' like Romney to finally put country over Party and vote for Biden.
Never gonna happen, Republicans are locked in to an amazing degree.
It's a small step, and it might die off.
America’s a shitshow.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT
And then we get fuckin blown up.
Shouldn't it be battle "royale"?
With cheese no less
"fiscal reforms" = burn it all down, let the billionaires rule over the ashes
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Lawmakers in both parties are predicting a GOP battle royal over federal spending at the start of the election year as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)
After his predecessor, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), was unseated in part for bringing a funding measure to the floor that relied on Democratic votes, House conservatives gave Johnson “a mulligan” in November for basically doing the same thing.
The new Speaker traveled to Mar-a-Lago to meet with former President Trump shortly before Thanksgiving in an effort to shore up his support among MAGA rebels, setting the stage for a showdown with the Senate next month.
Paul said conservatives want Johnson to pass the annual appropriations bills individually to maximize his leverage with Senate Democrats, setting up a prolonged negotiation that could wind up lasting months.
Mitt Romney (R-Utah) has introduced a bill with centrist Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) to establish a bicameral fiscal commission to find legislative solutions to decrease the debt.
Senate Republicans recently invited former Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to speak to the Steering Committee before the Thanksgiving recess about his experience as a member of the “supercommittee” that Congress set up in 2011 to cut the annual deficit.
The original article contains 1,068 words, the summary contains 198 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Can't wait to see a GOP member do a fortnite emote after getting this dub.
If they are going to be clowns, at least make it entertaining while burning our country to the ground.
Give them lethal weapons, lock them in a room, and let them have at it.
