    Posting on X, in response to comments from Johnson, who he branded an “idiot,” Kinzinger said: “Time for a discharge petition, or for three republicans to vote against every rule until he agrees. You will not win unless you fight fire with fire.”

    That second option is probably a better path. If you recall, the Freedom Caucus pulled that shit on Kevin for a week or so, grinding the House to a halt, until he gave in to whatever tantrum they had at the time.

    The House can’t do anything until a majority agrees on the rule first. The minority party typically votes against that, just to keep things interesting. So all we would need to do is find three or four Republicans willing to hold their own tantrum about the bill, and then nothing can get done until they get a majority back again.

    This usually doesn’t happen, but then again the majority party doesn’t usually have a margin this small.

      Or just investigate where the fuck all of Mikeys money is and hold him accountable for not reporting it like he should for years? Fucking Christofascist piece of petrified dog shit.

      Or add the entire border bill as an amendment to the current bill or something.
