Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are rushing through a three-month spending bill Wednesday in a whirlwind development that will send Congress home through the election.

The agreement gives Schumer what he has long craved – the opportunity to pass a spending bill in the lame duck session after the election but before the new Congress is seated in January, locking in spending levels and policy priorities before an expected Republican takeover in the upper chamber relegates him to minority leader.

“... before an expected Republican takeover in the upper chamber relegates him [Schumer] to minority leader.”

How very symmetrical, seeing as how Mike Johnson (thanks in no small part to his own actions) is highly likely to ALSO be demoted into the minority party in the House.

At least Johnson hopefully will be decapitated as “leader” of that gutless minority party, not that there seems to be anyone among the House leadership who actually wants to be part of a majority. Even Jim Jordan is too weak and passive nowadays, and runs away screaming anytime someone boosts him for the spot in the House GOP. So we’d just some other hapless wimp like Scalise.

I actually think I prefer this to the usual BS that always ends the same way after a lot of words and wasted time.

He didn’t cave. He’s doing exactly what he has been assigned to do, i.e., betray America and Americans.

At some point, those “leaders” who capitulate to those who gloat need to made to understand how we feel about it.

Why do people keep saying we have a two-party system?
