There is nothing I can add to this blather put out by Speaker Johnson aka Spkr. Milquetoast. I have reduced my news intake as it at once depressing, anger inciting and informative. I miss the days when one could look at any channel, any daily newsprint and get a reasonable idea of what is happening in the nation and the wider world. Now the advent podcasts, online apps and one-sided news on the tube have brought me to scour the news feed from the few sources I allow into my life just to get a “fair” idea of what the facts are. The pitch by Johnson below gives me the “ick”.
House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered a contentious pitch to voters Tuesday at President Donald Trump’s Florida resort, calling it “foolish” to vote against Republican candidates in November. This comes as an NBC News poll shows Democrats well-positioned to retake the House, with some Republicans fearing Senate losses too. Even Sen. Rand Paul predicted “disastrous” midterm results for the GOP. Johnson framed the election as a contest “between normal and crazy,” claiming the Republican majority has “defied expectation and historical trends,” while governing. Speaking at the Trump National Doral Miami, where membership costs $50,000 initiation plus $1,000 monthly dues, Johnson attacked Democrats as “Marxists, open socialists, the far-left insurgent politicians,” pushing the party “over the edge,” and leaving America behind. He vowed Republicans would defy historical odds again.
If indeed the Presidents party prevails in the midterms we can be assured of a modern day civil war which will allow the current clown to continue running the circus. I can only state again: cut through the fog of bull shit and vote for folks who are as honest as we can get in the political sphere. Keep in mind if it sounds like BS, it quite possibly is!
