Mike Johnson Snaps as Shutdown Arguments Repeatedly Crumble on Air - Even Fox News pushed back on the House speaker’s claims.
Collins pointed out that this was impossible. “It’s against federal law for people who are here illegally to get health care,” she said.
I really dislike how 'health care' has become a synonym for 'health insurance policy coverage'. And even so this is still a ridiculous statement in its own right.
Like it's not already difficult for people here in the U.S.A. to afford. As a vast majority of anything else the ACA adjustment would never trickle down, but it sure as hell will boulder/snowball down. And that's on top of the Medicaid/Medicare cuts.
Isn’t that the guy that has the masturbation app with his son?
Ain't masturbation if it's with another man. Checkmate.
They literally control all the government. And they still couldn't govern.
If the roles were reversed, I can't even imagine the right wing media backlash.
The same thing happened in term 1. They controlled everything, still shut down the government on themselves, proving for the 137th time that decade that they are incapable of governing as they can't even agree amongst themselves, lost a shit ton of GDP in the process, and somehow people still think they're the fiscally conservative party.
The right wing media backlash would make wearing a tan suit look like a friendly Thanksgiving dinner, judging by the fact that there's any pushback at all right now.
It's a sin to lie, Mike.
Only if you're actually a Christian.
Is it a lie if you believe it at the time?
Ah, the Costanza defense
What he's saying is so absurd and factually unsupported on its surface (Democrats are trying to shut down the government to demand health care for illegal immigrants) that I don't believe even he believes what he's saying. He's just like the rest of them, he'll say and do whatever he thinks he needs to in order to achieve his ideological ends, and he'll wrap himself in the flag and the cross while doing so. No one principled remains in that party.
Woof, when Laura Ingraham is to the left of you on an issue, you are way into la la land.
Mike Johnson needs to be slapped in the face with a cock untill he publically admits he likes it, and has in fact liked that for a long, long time already.
Release the Grindr profile.
Did that not drop yet? It was due yesterday?
So the update on that is that the guy who threatened to release the Grindr profile of Mike Johnson:
He has been threatened and intimidated via online communications, he has lawyered up, he sent what he had to a journalism outlet to be vetted and potentially published, his lawyers have advised him to make no further claims publically, his original video was removed by TikTok...
... and he has fled his home and the state he is originally from, and reports that he can see people he doesn't know traipsing around his property via his remotely accesible home security cams.
Soooo... yeahhh....
Oh right and because his line of work was somewhere between comedian and actor, he can longer work, as... nobody will touch him.
God Bless America, Let Freedom Ring.
I thought this was the Trump shutdown, but no it really is the Johnson / Trump / GOP shutdown.
And really when article said he "snapped" I was hoping for something at least mildly traumatic. Or even like snapped to attention, in realization that he was completely in the wrong. sadly, no.
And now half of the VA is shut down. Fuck these obstructionist Republicans
Let's face it, the VA was on the chopping block already thanks to Trump tightening the purse strings. There is quite literally no reason to even accept a deal that gets the ACA funded again, because Trump can just say 'no' and choke it off anyways.
tightening the purse strings
Is that really the right phrase to use here? If I took all my family vacation money and spent it on ninja swords from the mall, I don't think my wife would say, "We can't go on vacation because my husband is tightening the purse strings."
I guess I'm a sucker and a loser. Fuck i hate that guy and this admin
I can't wait to find out what Trump / Putin has been blackmailing this choad with.
Rumor has it he has a Grindr account
it's thursday. that actually get posted yesterday?
