Mike Johnson won’t commit to bringing House back before the election for more hurricane relief

He absolutely should. I'm in nc (not far enough west to be affected by the storm though) and folks who are hurting really need the help. Plus it'd make cogress look stupid that the president had to hold their hand and say "okay now, let's go do our jobs to help the constituents facing natural disaster. I know you don't want to but part of growing up is having responsibilities"

Fuck yeah. Come on, Dark Brandon!

Gov. Evers in Wisconsin sometimes does that for the Republican legislature. They gavel in and out within 60 seconds.

Thats fine. The narrative then puts everything on Republicans.

call them on their bullshit?

what could go right?

That's why you do ads and stick them in NFL games commercial breaks.

God damn the Republicans are serving up hanging curveballs right over the plate, and the democrats just watch them go by.

he can blame it on the Biden administration

Don't vote for a bill to protect the boarder? he can blame it on the Biden administration.

It works with their ass-backwards orcs.

It worked with the border.

It's even simpler than that. We're four weeks to the election, everyone in the house of reps is busy campaigning for reelection. Nobody wants to go to DC and work, letting the campaign challengers run around your district unopposed.

And what would be the point if they did come back? Johnson couldn't get his party to pass a continuing resolution to find the government Republican sweeteners attached (voter id law). How the fuck is he going to get his party on board for "government handouts" without the freedom caucus making some asinine demand that tanks the whole thing. Johnson certainly doesn't want to remind voters of the shit show of distinction that is the Republican controlled House weeks before an election.

Pull all your vulnerable members off the campaign trail in the final weeks so that you can put on a fuck fuck circus generating daily headlines about how Republicans can't govern? Fat fucking chance.

And if Biden calls a special session, Republicans are going to say it's political to make them look bad, cause they can't govern.

That’s the Gaslight part. The other two parts functioning here as well.

What if I told you that “Christian” doesn’t automatically mean “good”?

If it's only him and his son, is it still a circlejerk?

Not to mention that by not going through the theater of his republican colleagues refusing to help save lives, he can instead do nothing, which will likely cause deaths, which he can then just blame on Biden, truth being meaningless at this point for Republicans.

Think about the immigration bill. No matter how many times Republican voters are told that Trump specifically and intentionally made the immigrant crisis worse by torpedoing a bi-partisan bill, they refuse to believe it. There is no way Trump supporters would ever dare blame their daddy or his surrogate, Johnson, for literally attempting to kill them.

You can see why people refer to Trump supporters as a death cult.

This is acktually good because… checks notes… …he is technically a flaming piece of garbage! Checkmate libruls!
