I mean he’s not doing anything else important
>At least one Trump administration official can see the forest for the trees when it comes to the reality of the government shutdown.
>Much to the chagrin of Republican leadership, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins delivered a rare level-headed missive Friday for Americans struggling with expiring SNAP benefits.
>“My message to America is first, the fact that your government is failing you right now,” Rollins told reporters. “That poverty is not red or blue, it is not a Democrat or Republican issue. Doesn’t matter who you voted for or even if you voted. That if you are in a position where you can’t feed your family, and you’re relying on that $187 dollars a month for an average family in the SNAP program, that we have failed you.”
>But that was a politically unsavory appeal for House Speaker Mike Johnson, who immediately jumped into recovery mode, attempting to twist Rollins’s words to fit the party message.
>“And it’s, um, clarified that when she says, ‘We have failed you,’ she means, ‘We the Democrats,’ OK?” Johnson said.
She’s getting fired soon
Never thought I’d be waxing nostalgic for the days when John Boehner was running the house. I imagine he’s pouring a scotch and laughing his ass off at Johnson. Worst Speaker of my lifetime and I’m getting to be a pretty old fuck.
She gone!
Can see the sweat ruining his makeup
“Fuck dem kids”- with the current GOP, we don’t know if that is literal or figurative.
Release the Epstein files!
$187 a month for the average family.
From the administration’s mouth.
No he didn’t.
Republicans are protecting the filthy rich and pedophiles while Democrats are trying to save the lives of hard working Americans.
Just a reminder that Mike Johnson has not put forward a plan to fund the government past November 21st. Even if the Senate passed the ‘clean’ CR tonight, we’d have another shutdown in 3 weeks because they haven’t done shit towards a permanent funding bill.
I mean, it was not really a panic, but I get the point.
The guy is definition of pussy
Mr. Peepers is an all-time asskisser.
And she’ll be gone by next week. He wants them all to serve HIM, not their country.
Mikey is a misogynist.
Oh look….an honest, compassionate, and conscientious Republican speaks out in solidarity with SNAP recipients and as one nation, and loser Mike Johnson has to interject lies and smugness to ruin it all. This turd needs to be flushed.
Someone is about to be unemployed…
