"Moving forward, are they going to actually try and help us solve these problems? Pass [a] good piece of legislation for the best American public? I would guess: probably not,” Johnson concluded. “So they’ve pretty well telegraphed what their game plan is here. It’s going to be obstruction all along.”
This may be the single most ridiculous statement any republican has made in 15 years. When was the lat time republicans "helped" pass any legislation that was good for America. Since 2011 the filibuster has been the sole governing tool of the republican party.
This, from the guy who tried to smuggle a certification of phony Electors to Mike Pence on January 6. His squalor defeats my abilities to describe it. Thanks a lot, Wisconsin!
Johnson is a real piece of work and as a Wisconsinite, I'm embarrassed he represents this state in the Senate. I try to not listen to anything he has to say...99.9% of it is useless drivel.
The absolute gall of Republicans: accusing Democrats of obstruction while acting as if Democrats are the ones committed to causing, rather than solving, the nation’s problems.
If there were any justice God would strike them down with a piano from the clear blue sky.
Yeah, what exactly are Democrats supposedly obstructing? When is the last time Republicans actually proposed any legislation to address any problems Americans are facing?
"When eight Senate Democrats negotiated a surrender in the government-shutdown fight this weekend, they secured a floor vote on extending the Affordable Care Act’s extended tax credits for a to-be-determined date in December. Unfortunately for them, the promised vote appears dead on arrival."
But isn't that irrelevant to the crucial question, "Who killed your extended Obamacare tax credits and caused you to have no or significantly less health coverage? Just read the names on the roll call list of those who voted against you and your family." I am not saying that I like the image of caving to the Felon, but this plus the vote in the House putting Epstein back on the front burner are certainly not peanuts for any RINO Senator on the re-election list next November.
GOPer's shameless audacity has no floor. Both Johnson and Cruz are calling dems the cynical obstructionists? Hello, Holy Mike refusing to swear in AZ congresswoman elect, and them telling the world they would not even come to the negotiating table throughout the shutdown?!?! Give me a g-d break
The only way that works for them is if they believe it will allow them to hold onto power forever. If they lose power, they will see the democrats take full opportunity to restore their programs and more
Please stop quote Ron Johnson on anything. It reminds me of the disappointment I feel for the people of my birth state of Wisconsin that they have this {bleeping} {bleep} {bleep} representing them.
I will speak to any member of the House or Senate if their role is relevant to the story and adds the appropriate context/insight. In this case, that's very much Ron Jon.
Ron Jon certainly adds relevancy. Dump him in the next election. Every word out of his mouth is a con. He keeps up this facade to hide his contempt for the American people and his loyalty to Felon Trump. The more I hear from him the more I hope the people of Wisconsin fire him on Election Day.
Yeah, but Joe will hear something like this so many times a day, and it's the man's job. Let's give him some grace.
It's like people who complain about the groups Sarah has for the focus groups because they're not whatever enough, why not do different groups? And they get unpleasant about it - when the groups Sarah is focusing on is specific groups to give feedback to political committees and other folks, for specific reasons. The fact we get "Focus Groups" podcast is secondary to the hows and whys of what she is analysing.
I would gladly repeal and replace Obamacare, and so would Bernie Sanders, as long as it’s replaced with Medicare for All. Somehow, I don’t think that’s what the Republicans have in mind; this article quotes one Republican as wanting to replace it with block grants. What’s next on the Republican health care agenda: getting rid of medical licensing and letting competition weed out the quacks that kill people?
When these GOP'ers complain that the ACA subsidies are helping insurance companies, I would love for a reporter to ask a follow up question along the lines of... "would you recommend a health care plan that cuts out the insurance companies...maybe a single-payer type of plan?" These people, along with their insurance industry pals kept a public option out of the ACA.
Loyal Senate Republicans. All that work it takes to become one of the 100 US Senators and they squander it to be loyal to Donald Trump, enabling a budding Tyrant whose not even smart enough to appoint Cabinet members with even a hint of competence on their resume. And now he is literally asleep at the wheel, only waking up long enough to throw a terrible twos tantrum.
Ron Johnson is a Hypocrite like everybody else in the GOP. He was just making noise about Democrats wanting to get rid of the Filibuster when it’s something that t-Rump is pushing for.
Sure, they have a better health care plan. Kennedy and Dr. Oz are working on it. Accusing the Democrats of obstruction is funny. The Republicans in the House weren’t obstructing by going home while the Senate Republicans tried to pass the same bill 15 times without making any changes and refusing to negotiate. Thune said it unequivocally. They weren’t interested in negotiating because Trump told them not to while he was throwing big parties for billionaires and playing golf. Some think the Democrats should have held out longer, but that would likely result in 41 more days of closed government. Cruelty is one of Trump’s spiritual gifts.

Ron is a disgrace to Wisconsin and the nation, says this Wisconsin voter. Get him out!
Right so how does an imbecile like hime get not only elected, but reelected, in a supposed swing state???
Hatred and resentment of uppity women and people who don't fit the strict definition of white.

Especially since many of these fools are into whatever medical quackery they could find so they can live forever!
“Lying Frump”
He lies when he pees,
He lies eating cheese,
He lies in the morning,
He lies in the breeze!
He lies in December,
He lies in July,
He lies on the ground,
And he lies to the sky!
He lies when he’s chewing,
He lies when he’s tweeting,
He lies when he’s losing,
He lies when he’s beating!
He lies for attention,
He lies for applause,
He lies just because—
Well, he lies just because!
He lies when he’s golfing,
He lies when he’s still,
He lies when he’s scheming,
And always will.
He lies when he whispers,
He lies when he shouts,
He lies so much
That the truth tapped out!

Taking a moral stand over a joke? Really? Take a breath, Joe. Unclench, my dude.
Yeah, but Joe will hear something like this so many times a day, and it's the man's job. Let's give him some grace.

Chill out Francis
If you are not interested in interviewing serious, intelligent people, then you are in the right position.
I don't envy you your job. 😖
Agreed.... any quote from RJ is enough to give me monumental heartburn!

Exactly! They’re the ones blocking single payer that would cut out the insurance companies.
I want to know if Congressional healthcare involves insurance companies. I’m guessing…yes.

Hell of a conservative movement.

Tech want to make AI in god’s image. Given the size and functionality of their egos what could go wrong with that?
They want to nuke it so they can change Federal election laws. Already on the pipeline.
Pope Leo is a bright spot for me. Thanks for giving the update on his comment on AI.

If Kennedy is working for it, then it’s definitely a load of argle-bargle that’s not worth reading.
Or worse.
