PleaseBlitz Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Speaker Johnson just learned how to box out his right flank and all he has to do is bring legislation to the floor that Dems like from time to time. Moderate GOPers have just wrestled control of the conference from the MAGA crazies. The House GOP conference is still largely viewed as completely dysfunctional. Ukraine got the aid it desperately needs, a government shutdown was avoided last month, Hakeem Jeffries has Johnson totally outclassed. That is the best the Dems can ask for while they are in the minority, and I don't buy anything said on a Matt Gaetz podcast or whatever the **** that was that moderate GOPers are going to resign. Most of the stuff happening on Capital Hill right now is pretty good for Dems, they should do whatever they need to do to maintain the status quo. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/22/house-republicans-infighting-foreign-aid/ House Republican infighting getting worse after foreign aid vote Quote The House came together Saturday to pass a sweeping $95 billion foreign aid package, a rare moment of bipartisan cooperation in the closely divided chamber. But the move only intensified infighting among House Republicans, who split sharply on the strategy to deliver assistance to foreign allies including Ukraine and Israel. In social media posts and TV interviews afterward, House Republicans took aim at one another — in unusually sharp terms — over the events that led up to the vote. Ultimately, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had to rely on a majority of Democrats to push through the most controversial piece of the package — $60 billion in aid to Ukraine for its war against Russia — in a gamble that could cost him his speakership. “It’s my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags,” Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Tex.) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” calling out two GOP colleagues — Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) and Bob Good (Va.) — who have broken with Johnson and voted against other legislation proposed by the GOP majority. [The middle of this article is about the personal grudges between one moderate and the Gaetz wing, and includes the quote from a Congressman: “Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties."] It concludes: In a tense Tuesday evening meeting with Johnson and several rank-and-file Republicans, Gaetz told the speaker that if he moved ahead with his foreign aid plan that GOP colleagues would seek to oust him. He also threatened others in the room, saying the far-right bloc would target them on social media and campaign against them. Meanwhile, some GOP critics of the hard-line faction have advocated for leadership to take harsher measures against the bloc. Last week during a meeting with the speaker and lawmakers of the conservative Main Street Caucus, who prioritize governing, conversations revolved around how to punish members based on what could improve House functions. Several members suggested removing the three hard-liners — Roy, Massie and Norman — who sit on the House Rules Committee. Johnson did not announce any decision whether on whether to follow through with that proposed plan., which many members from that meeting acknowledged is easier said than done since far-right members fundraise successfully off being targeted by “the establishment.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wiggles Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Define "solid"? 🤣 Conservatives have spent the past two plus decades primarying out anyone who works towards bipartisan agreements or legislation. It's one of the main reasons the system is broken. Unfortunately people still keep voting Republican all the while ****ing that nothing ever gets done. It's absurd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid enough in his short tenure that democrats are willing to work with him and not oust him. Heck the previous guy threw them under the bus and Dems stood by while the GOP burned not this time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
