While the Speaker tries to work around the BS in the House there is a war of words and insults kinda like a couple of kids in the sand box sniping at each other for whatever reason…..

We have MTG the most laughable dork and then there is Gaetz who just likes being a thorn in the side of whoever gets in his sight.

But back to the war of words…..

One of Speaker Mike Johnson’s seconds and one of his opponents tossed insults Thursday in the course of a confrontation on the House floor over the speaker’s performance. Three Republicans gathered around Johnson to give him an earful about his plan to put aid to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan to a vote this week: Reps. Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Tim Burchett. Rep. Derrick Van Orden went up to the three and dared them to file a motion to remove Johnson; he later told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he was trying to “call their bluff.” During the ensuing debate, Van Orden called Gaetz “tubby.”

The Wisconsin freshman said he only used “tubby” after Gaetz called him a “squish”—which Van Orden said he assumed meant he was being insulted as a soft person. The term is sometimes used by Republicans to imply colleagues are insufficiently Republican. Gaetz, who has not committed to the effort to oust Johnson, later told reporters he found his clash with Van Orden “puzzling and concerning.” He added, “The only thing I gleaned from it is that Mr. Van Orden is not a particularly intelligent individual.”

Van Orden said he went up to the group to back Johnson because “everybody needs a swim buddy.” He said Gaetz and other GOP hard-liners are “destroying our majority.” If they succeed, he said, and Donald Trump wins the election, he’ll be dealing with an “obstructionist House of Representatives run by Democrats.” As for Gaetz as an individual, Van Orden said he’s a bully. “The only way to stop a person from bullying you is to push back hard,” he said.

I have been saying for years what a collection of idiots and morons the House has become…..and they just keep proving me right almost daily.

These people are not in DC to govern in the best interests of the country….no they are there to disrupt and act up.

By the way…..Speaker got his foreign aid for Ukraine and Israel and others but needed the Dems to help…..

With rare bipartisan momentum, the House pushed ahead Friday on a foreign aid package of $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, including for humanitarian support, as a coalition of lawmakers helped it clear a procedural hurdle to reach final votes this weekend. Friday’s vote produced a seldom-seen outcome in the typically hyperpartisan House, with Democrats helping Republican Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan advance 316-94. Final House approval could come this weekend, when the package would be sent to the Senate, per the AP. It was a victory for the strategy Johnson set in motion this week after he agonized for two months over the legislation.

Still, Johnson has had to spend the past 24 hours making the rounds on conservative media working to salvage support for the wartime funding, particularly for Ukraine as it faces a critical moment battling Russia, but also for his own job as the restless right flank threatens to oust him over the effort. “There’s a lot of misinformation about what we’re doing here and why,” Johnson told the conservative host of The Mark Levin Show. “Ukrainians desperately need lethal aid right now. … We cannot allow Vladimir Putin to roll through another country and take it,” he added. “These are very serious matters with global implications.”

What will this cost the Speaker?  What did the Dems want in return?  Will the Freedom Caucus take this lying down?

These people , Freedom Caucus, make me sick!

We deserve better!
