Thomas Massie: ‘Mike Johnson Is the Next Paul Ryan’

Hannah Knudsen 30 Dec 2024

“Mike Johnson is the next Paul Ryan,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said on Monday before President-elect Donald Trump endorsed the Speaker.

Massie, the first member of the House to publicly state that he will not back Johnson as Speaker on January 3, has continued to sound the alarm following Johnson’s disastrous spending deal, the final version of which was not opposed by a single Democrat.

In Monday’s post, Massie drew parallels between Johnson and former Speaker Paul Ryan, who is now widely known to be anti-Trump.

“On January 3rd, 2017, Paul Ryan was elected Speaker by every Republican except me. Ryan went on to offer a fake repeal of ObamaCare, increased spending, backed the deep state, and didn’t fund a wall,” Massie said.

“Two years later we lost the majority and democrats made a living hell for Trump,”  he continued, predicting that “Mike Johnson is the next Paul Ryan.”

“On January 3rd, 2025, I won’t be voting for Mike Johnson. I hope my colleague will join me because history will not give America another ‘do-over,” he warned.

The next Paul Ryan is whom Trump wants.

FTA:

“On January 3rd, 2025, I won’t be voting for Mike Johnson. I hope my colleague will join me because history will not give America another ‘do-over,” he warned.

218 votes are needed to win the Speakership.  Republicans have 219 seats.

Massie is one stupid bastard.

We are the Party of COMMON SENSE, a primary reason that we WON, in a landslide, the magnificent and historic Presidential Election of 2024. ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, 312 ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES, AND THE POPULAR VOTE BY MILLIONS OF VOTERS (Despite large scale voter fraud taking place in numerous states, including California, where votes are ridiculously still being counted, or under review!), ALL WON WITH EASE, CALM, & PROFESSIONALISM.

Republicans are being praised for having run a “legendary” campaign! Democrats are being excoriated for their effort, having wasted 2.5 Billion Dollars, much of it unaccounted for, with some being used to illegally buy endorsements ($11,000,000 to Beyoncé, who never even sang a song, $2,000,000 to Oprah for doing next to nothing, and even $500,000 to Reverend AL, a professional con man and instigator, who agreed to “interview” their “star spangled” candidates, Kamala and Joe).

We ran a flawless campaign, having spent FAR LESS, with lots of money left over. They ran a very expensive “sinking ship,” embracing DOJ & FBI WEAPONIZATION against their political opponent, ME. BUT IT DIDN’T WORK, IT WAS A DISASTER!!!

LETS NOT BLOW THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY WHICH WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN. The American people need IMMEDIATE relief from all of the destructive policies of the last Administration. Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement. MAGA!!!

Unfortunately, the UGLY TRUTH is that while Trump believes he has a mandate, that does NOT extend to Congress, for the Republicans have a VOTING MAJORITY in only one house.  The Senate requires 60 votes to pass legislation.  The Republicans have 53 seats, the Democommies have 47.  BUT IN REALITY, IT IS A 50/50 SPLIT, FOR THERE ARE THREE OF THE WORST KIND OF RINOs that will end up voting with the stinking Democommies.

Sadly, Trump's 2nd term will only produce results with EOs.  Almost nothing will make it through Congress with a 50/50 split in the Senate.!!!!!

And Trump's announcement yesterday, Monday, has guaranteed the Republicans will lose one if not both houses of Congress come 2026.  Yes, the damn fool is his worst enemy.   2020 did not teach him a damn thing!  He announced yesterday he fully supports the H1-b Visa Program.  AND THE F***ING LIE is that it is about bringing exceptional people to the USA.  It is absolutely NOT about that.

The H1-b Visa Program is about displacing USA citizen with cheap foreign labor that work for 50% or less wages and no benefits.  And Trump has promised Silicon Valley tech billionaires that he will increase the number of recipients for H1-b Visas.  This strategy GUARANTEES the Republicans lose one or both houses of Congress two years from now.

THIS ONE AW-SH*T BY TRUMP GUARANTEES THE REPUBLICANS LOSE IN 2026!
THIS ONE AW-SH*T BY TRUMP GUARANTEES THE REPUBLICANS LOSE IN 2026!
THIS ONE AW-SH*T BY TRUMP GUARANTEES THE REPUBLICANS LOSE IN 2026!

It bears repeating, because the yes men Trump has surrounded himself with, or men like him, i.e. Elon Mush, billionaire that only sees what he wants, and not the UGLY TRUTH of H1-b Visas.  Trump is a fine example of one using the H1-b Visa Program to screw over American citizens.  He brings in folks from Ukraine and pays them a fraction of what he would have to pay a USA citizen, better known as a fair wage.

I am a believer in the 80/20 rule.  I think it applies to almost everything in life.  EVERYTHING! 

80%+ of those with H1-b Visas are low cost foreign labor that has displaced a USA citizen.  They are not here because of their exceptionalism.  NO!  They are here to make billionaires even more money while screwing over Americans.

The displacement of Americans with low cost foreign labor is a direct violation of federal law. 
The displacement of Americans with low cost foreign labor is a direct violation of federal law.
The displacement of Americans with low cost foreign labor is a direct violation of federal law.

That bears repeating too!

Before the fool has taken office, he has sunk the future of the Republicans in Congress.  Believe me when I tell you, millions of people will not be voting for Republicans because of this aw-sh*t!!!!  Millions.  As the old expression goes, it only takes one aw-sh*t to wipe out 1,000 that-a-boys.

When Trump increased the H1-b Visa recipients in his 1st term, months into the term, after promising to end the program DAY ONE, I wrote the White House 3 times a week pointing out that if he did not correct this aw-sh*t, he would lose in 2020.  Well, he can't run any more, so the Republicans elected in Congress will pay, and pay dearly.  Trump just handed them[Democommies] the manana from heaven to kick the sh*t our of the Republicans in 2026.

Be prepared for Trump to get impeached a 3rd time when the Democommies retake Congress in 2026.

To say I am disgusted would be a light year away from where I am.  I enter 2025 totally disgusted with Trump.
