If not a single Republican will work with them, how did the temporary spending bill pass?

I have no Republican friends. I DETEST Republicans with every fiber of my being. But I do want the best for America, and as bad as McCarthy was, Johnson will be far worse.

They did that by waiting until the last fucking minute so no one could read the actual CR. they only did that because they know there is no way to take the heat off them for shutting down the country, AGAIN

Johnson will be the exact same. Absolutely no ability to get anything accomplished in the house.

No, Johnson will be far worse.

They couldn't get anything done with McCarthy, so what makes you think anything more will happen with Johnson?

They raised the debt ceiling and funded the government, at least temporarily. More than Johnson is likely to do, at least not without batshit insane provisions attached.
