So are we supposed to feel SORRY for Johnson because he’s being blackmailed or threatened by the IC? Well I don’t. Maybe he shouldn’t have accepted the leadership role if he was worried about his family or his life. Maybe we should only vote single folks into congress, who have no siblings, whose parents are dead and own no pets. I’m so sick of this crap I could spit! :gaah:

House Speaker Mike Johnson 3-Point Plan to Fund Ukraine, Senator Graham Happy


April 2, 2024 | Sundance | 304 Comments

According to those in political circles who are instructed by the intelligence community, funding for Ukraine is the highest national priority. As an outcome we see all the DC politicians and beltway pundits pushing the same story, funding for Ukraine is the highest priority.

The key politicians within the dynamic exist inside information silos, essentially control mechanisms, where the intelligence community (IC) constructs reality by briefing the politicians about what is going on in the world. The IC tells the politicians what is happening, defines the importance and instructs the politicians on the priorities. The IC is never challenged because ultimately the IC has “seven ways to Sunday” to target the politicians if any non-compliance is identified.

Speaker Mike Johnson is one of the “gang-of-eight” members within the legislative branch. The Go8 are briefed and controlled by the IC, using the exact same intelligence given to the President. Speaker Johnson has the funding of Ukraine as his top priority, because the IC officials who set priorities have told him it must be.

(Via Fox News) – […] “When we return after this period, we’ll be moving a product. But it’s going to, I think, have some important innovations,” Johnson told Fox News’ “Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy.”

Both the House and Senate are currently on the second week of a two-week recess, when lawmakers are working in their home districts. The House is back on Tuesday, April 9.

Johnson said he has been “working to build consensus” on a supplemental national security and foreign aid package, though he signaled it would look different from prior attempts. He said the House would “be moving it right after the district work period.”

It comes after Republicans killed a $118 billion package with aid for Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel and the U.S. border earlier this year, arguing it did not go far enough to tackle the ongoing border crisis. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and President Biden have been pressuring Johnson to take up a slimmer $95 billion package without border measures.

“We’ve been trying to use that as the only leverage we have to force change on the border. We’re still trying to force the president to use his executive authority, and most of the American people know that he has that authority. He’s not using it,” Johnson argued.

On Ukraine specifically, he said, “There’s a lot of things that we should do that make more sense and I think we’ll have consensus around.”

Johnson highlighted three details specifically – the first being the REPO Act introduced in the House last year by Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, which would liquidate seized Russian assets and send that as assistance to Ukraine.

The speaker also pointed out that former President Trump recently floated the idea of aid to Ukraine in the form of a loan, though he did not mention specific terms save for Kyiv paying Washington back if they win the war against Russia.

[…] Johnson described the third proposal, “And then, you know, we want to unleash American energy. We want to have natural gas exports that will help unfund Vladimir Putin’s war effort there.” (read more)

Latest US POLLING – […] “poll shows that two years after Russia’s initial invasion, the Ukraine war has become a partisan dividing line: Majorities of Democrats think it’s extremely or very important to prevent Russia from seizing more Ukrainian territory, to negotiate a permanent ceasefire between the two countries, help Ukraine regain its land and provide general aid to its military, while less than half of Republicans and Independents agree.” (read more)

Matt Gaetz Explains Why He Cannot Support Removal of Speaker Johnson

During this interview with Dan Ball, Representative Matt Gaetz explains why he cannot support the effort by Marjorie Taylor Greene to vacate the chair and remove Speaker Mike Johnson. {Direct Rumble Link}

As outlined by Gaetz, there are two or three specific republicans, former democrats, who will vote to support Hakeem Jeffries if the opportunity arises. With all of the exits from the GOP House team noted, it will be a struggle to keep the house in republican control in 2025 even with a resounding victory by President Trump.

Today is Tax Day.

Everyone is having to pay the IRS to fund a government that doesn’t care about fixing the problems in America.

Instead, we are funding endless foreign wars in countries most Americans can’t find on a map.

The American people are sick of Republicans making promises they never keep.

Under Speaker Johnson, our Republican conference is headed in the wrong direction.

It was always likely there would be more funding - actually a lot is going to our MIC with new contracts. Still the one thing the House can do is put this out - WITH OFFSETS - pulling the money from other funded but not yet spent accounts.
If this is 100% NEW money or "loans" that will never be paid back - then it will be another RINO sellout.

The plan is proceeding as planed. If you have not spent the last 4 years getting your plan together than you missed the boat.

I don't think its so much a liar is a liar but rather a politician is a politician, is a politician. This same procedure has been going on for the last 40 years.

hopefully Trump will not need the house or senate to do what needs being done.
Doing things that way through EO means it is reversible with the next President. And the EO only reaches just so far. He really needs Congress to back him, but I'm thinking fat chance of that.

Just don't
My litmus test this year is Ukraine aid. Anyone who wants to send one more dollar to perpetuate the immoral meat grinder in Ukraine has lost my vote. That includes Trump with his idea of a loan.

That "loan" may end up like the "Student Loans". Once we see they aren't going to pay it back, forgive it. But yeah no more money, period.
