Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is promising that the House will not approve a single, massive bill to fund the entire government in December — a scenario feared by conservatives — despite a stopgap that’s expected to clear the House this week expiring on Dec. 20.
“There won’t be a Christmas omnibus,” Johnson said in a press conference Tuesday, reiterating a message he relayed privately to members in a House GOP conference meeting that morning.
It is a bold promise…And it would also defy historical precedent. Congress has regularly passed omnibus spending bills after a funding deadline butts up against end-of-year holidays…Conservatives have aimed to avoid that scenario, fearing Democrats and a lame-duck President Biden would load the bill with their own priorities…
The House is expected to vote Wednesday on a continuing resolution (CR) to extend government funding until Dec. 20…

When’s the last time we had a speaker who actually did what they said? Gingrich? What a laughingstock the Republican party has become.

From being a so called Christian, he lies a lot.
It doesn’t matter if there is no Christmas omnibus because the election will be over. Johnson is a rollover faggot for the left. Johnson is a pure GOPe scumbag.

” Johnson is a rollover faggot for the left.”
And he’s proud of it.

A New Years Omnibus is on the table.

Every bill that gets voted on should be a small limited amount of pages. No more omnibus bills that no one reads

Apparently there are no good Republicans…
One would think you could find a damn Dem to pounce on…Like Schumer…
Vacate the Chair!
Johnson is an Assistant Democrat and owes his speakership to the left.
He’s really bad at this.
This has nothing to do with Johnson. He’s not a king or executive. He’s leading a legislative body whose members include a lot of leftist Republicans.
The Dems have the Senate and Biden has his magic pen.
It’s called reality and has been going on for 3 years 8 1/2 months.
