According to The Hill, “The effort to pass an emergency defense spending package through Congress is turning into a mess. Senators say that new Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) demand to separate Israel funding from Ukraine and offset the $14.3 billion in Israel aid with cuts to the IRS budget isn’t going anywhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate.” As I said from the start, watch what Johnson does, not what he says. So, what is his opening act as Speaker? Hold emergency funding for Israel hostage by demanding funding for the IRS be eliminated in equal proportion. Right on cue, RepubliKKKlans insist on spending money only if they can hobble the one department in charge of collecting taxes to pay for said spending. It is baffling circular thinking, but not so circular if RepubliKKKlans want to protect the wealthy at the expense of everyone else. Whatever! I thought this “Christian” wanted to help our strongest ally in the Middle East fight terrorism. I guess this “unconditional” help comes with a quid pro quo that helps only the richest in America! As usual, all RepubliKKKlans are hypocrites and antisemites, without exception! Go figure! This is the government and backward logic this sh*t-for-brains country wants running the government. America is doomed because it’s just too f***ing stupid to survive. If this is Johnson putting his best foot forward as a first example of his governing philosophy, then God help us after he gets warmed up. Welcome to stupid America! I expected nothing less.
