Government Corruption
Johnson Shrinks Again As Congress Reaches Shutdown Deal Without 'Proof Of Citizenship' SAVE Act
2024-09-23
[ZERO] House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Sunday unveiled a 90-day band-aid to avoid yet another government shutdown which fails to include the SAVE Act, which would have required proof of citizenship at the time of voter registration - despite Donald Trump calling on Congressional Republicans not to pass a spending plan without "every ounce" of the proposal.

So, instead of playing chicken over the key issue of election integrity, the new continuing resolution (CR) - negotiated by both parties - would keep the government funded at current levels through Dec. 20, setting the stage for yet another funding fight before Christmas recess.

It includes an additional $231 million to help the Secret Service protect candidates during this election season and into next year after Donald Trump was almost assassinated twice.

#4  #2 There is no "back room". No deals are being made - only orders issued. And Johnson, being a good company guy, follows orders.

#3  Democratic moderates were chased out of that party to become a RINO albatross to their enemies.

#1  Uncompromising in his weakness and skillful Uniparty attributes. Entirely comfortable slithering away from his reptilian moult. Why have such creatures been placed among us ?
