Johnson’s pulling every card to make us accept this bill:
The unacceptable continuing resolution has a trick to get everyone to agree to it despite it being a monstrosity: no passage, no aid for hurricane victims. We can’t let that work any longer. Call your representatives and tell them, no way!
Speaker Johnson claims “no one wants to spend $110 billion” as the House is set to vote on a 1,547-page continuing resolution.
If and when this bill passes, congressional representatives will receive their first pay raise since 2009. Their current salary is $174,000/year. pic.twitter.com/fT31f7xhrz

With this bill, the DoJ will not be able to investigate Congress because requests for communications, subpoenas, et cetera can be quashed. Deep in the bill is a clause on p. 343 saying:
(d) MOTIONS TO QUASH OR MODIFY.—Upon a motion made promptly by a House office or provider for a House office, a court of competent jurisdiction shall quash or modify any legal process directed to the provider for a House office if compliance with the legal process would require the disclosure of House data of the House office.
The CR gives Congress a 40% increase and an exemption from Obamacare. It’s only until mid-March. What will they expect then? The biggest loser of them all is the very, incredibly weak Speaker Johnson, an agent of the bureaucracy, aka Deep State, and the Uniparty.
How can this be called a “continuing resolution” if it includes a 40% pay increase for Congress? https://t.co/qFFUP0eUOH

As Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said: While Biden sends billions to the Ukrainian government, Americans are struggling with:
– Skyrocketing Inflation & Rising Cost of Living
– Drug Trafficking Epidemic
– Natural Disaster Recovery
– Uncontrolled Open-Border Crisis
Mike Johnson acts as if Republicans lost. Johnson must go. We gave him a fair chance. Even bankruptcy and open borders don’t do a thing for him.
People call me “NostraThomas” for accurately predicting @SpeakerJohnson would use the Christmas recess to force a massive spending bill through Congress.
After claiming he would not, Johnson is embracing a D.C. tradition that’s nearly as old as decorating Christmas trees. pic.twitter.com/TRd1ZiCXtc

Johnson makes promises he won’t keep:

Okay , How many out there wish they could vote themselves a 40% pay raise ?
Explain to me how these people are any different from the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, or any other third rate third world tin-pot regime?
Once again, The Ruling Class Elite takes a huge dump on the nation. Oh! Vote us into office and we’ll undue all these things that are horrible!!! We promise!! In fact, we pinkie promise!!! Any republican that votes for this is a pure and unmitigated piece of garbage and needs the boot.
Wasn’t Trump telling us how great Speaker Johnson is?
Trump says that about most people, sometimes he’s on the level but other times he’s just smoozing people over with a positive comment rather than a negative. It is interesting to note that his preacher at one time was norman vincent peale, he was a preacher and a writer, he was a teacher of the art of positive thinking, and more.
Mr. Speaker, that is NOT governing. It is large-scale grifting. You flat out lied in September and therefore do not deserve to ever be speaker again.
