Good luck to him I guess, but the fact they didnt get an immediate mistrial for the lying nigger juror doesn't inspire much confidence.

Remember, the Debt Ceiling thing is literally because they don't want to do an actual real budget, and instead just keep kicking the can down the road 6 months over and over again. It's not that the government will shut down, it means the government credit card will be maxxed out. They do this because a Budget has to be adhered to (a CR does not) and by bringing it up to infinity votes they can add pork and kickbacks each and every time. It's how they're ballooning the debt to 32 trillion or whatever because the alternative is turning off the gibs fountain when the credit card gets tapped out.

Such a wonderful microcosm of the end of empire shit we're seeing in the US -- Doing a budget is literally one of their only jobs and rather than do it they found a way to do kabuki theater over it to enrich themselves forever. But no one, not even Trump, will play chicken with them over it, because HE would get blamed if THEY refuse to do a budget and instead sent him a CR and he refused to sign off on it.

Congress when someone else wants to control the budget: "WE HAVE THE POWER OF THE PURSE!"
Congress when asked to control the budget: :story:

They are trying to sneak in ways to block investigations into congress. Nothing will be done about the j6 committee. Now you know why he blocked teh release of the tapes.

A CR should be 20 pages max, instead it's a last minute 1600 page CYA parachute for faggot pedophiles. With Musk pushing hard it looks like something is happening.

I thought we all already knew Johnson was a rat.

I personally have held a pet theory that Johnson may well have been playing the long game and was waiting for Trump to get in office. Something to keep in mind is that he has to play ball with both the Uniparty House members and those who are more moderate/hesitant. He cannot simply ram through MAGA policies because doing so would take an already slim majority and make it even slimmer.

Put simply, he cannot afford to alienate parts of the House which MAGA generally hate because doing so would effectively deadlock the House which means Trump can't get -anything- passed.

So a lot of his 'cuck' nature very well could have way less to do with what he wants and more to do with interparty politics.

And we now have supporting evidence. For one, and a big one, Trump... never actually mentions him in his response. he goes after congress more generally but not Johnson specifically. That's -very- unusual for Trump if Johnson was in fact being a cuck. Second, the speed this fell. No attempt to defend it definitely no time to rally support. That speaks a lot to leadership hoping to can the bill.

The whole thing looks like Johnson was waiting for exterior pressure to rise before leaning on the Uniparty members in the House to let him can it.

Addition: Also keep in mind with something this big it has been in works since the last resolution was made. Massive chunks of it were made with the idea that -Biden- would be President in 2025. Johnson would just have to present it and put on the most paper thin, basic bitch support to mollify the Unipartiests and then just sit back and watch as it gets torn to shreds.

People have looked into that shit and its more like 80-90% fake listings at least. It's totally out of control. You figure these entry level tech support jobs or whatever stuff would be perfect for Americans but na they can just pay peanuts for H1B or outsource it totally to the pajeet homeland.

I'd certainly believe the percentage is over 50%. When my coworkers and I lost our jobs in my former career, I stayed in touch with my former project manager and he told me which places to avoid sending resumes to because they simply collect resumes without contacting anyone about job openings. Between that, the fact so many IT shops expect employees to move around the country on a moment's notice, or they simply hire foreign H1B holders, it's no wonder Americans aren't being hired in the field or switch careers when they cant even get an interview because they would cost too much to hire versus imported labor.

I worked some nice tech job like ~10 years ago and we had a lot of good workers for a pretty well known company and then one day they say "Ok we are moving the entire company to San Antonio and letting you all go but we need you to train your replacements first" and I'm not kidding you every single person they wanted trained was a pajeet. I actually felt bad for the customers cause it went from best in class support to the worst basically overnight.

I still remember a commercial that aired during that time. I have no idea who was behind it, but i believe it was against outsourcing because the persons in the commercial shared a similar story: They were being let go for cheaper foreign labor and they were told they wouldn't be eligible to collect severance and/or unemployment if they didn't stay long enough to train their replacements.

The end result is still the same: Those in charge make more money while the quality of service goes down the crapper because the new workers care about getting stuff done fast instead of right and taking time to build professional relationships with the clients.
