Johnson: We are going to cut 3% from DOJ, 7% from the ATF, 6% from the FBI, and 10% from the EPA.

1. Turned against the American people?

WTAF?

I had to click on the video and MAGAHick Johnson actually says that in his mealy mouthed way.

[Swede]

4. Straight from the horses ass' mouth.

[TwilightZone]

14. Yeah, that's Onion-level satire

They've lost all touch with reality. Well, all that they had left, anyway.

[barbaraann]

2. Are those percentages adjusted for inflation?

If they don't take inflation into account, they are a lot more severe.

[multigraincracker]

3. Soon to give another tax break

to the 1% and big business. Just watch.

[LakeArenal]

5. And All Social Security, Medicaid, reduce Medicare, SNAP,

Reinstate student debt, quit all infrastructure updates, hand Ukraine to Putin, cage trans people, deport Democrats ….. yet they have accomplished 0.0 while in office. Now.

[Torchlight]

6. So, the conservatives are waging a Defund the Police initiative.

Law enforcement by any other name...

[pazzyanne]

43. It's their way of "Backing the Blue".

[0rganism]

7. I hope at least some of the cuts can be mitigated by the senate

Current house majority is a complete disaster.

[pfitz59]

8. How about we tax the churches

as we do every other entertainment. Oh, and eliminate all 'faith-based' funding.

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Petty corporals belong in jail. /nt

[KPN]

10. I despise this little prick. How dare he equate "the American people" to radical evangelical and MAGA nationalists!

I truly despise these people for what they are doing to this country. With them, civil discourse and governance can only occur if you accept and agree with their egocentric, evangelical, white supremacist world views They are fucking nuts!

[maxsolomon]

11. the clown party wants a shutdown.

their polling must say it will benefit them in November.

the ATF & EPA have been neutered already; hard to see where they've been "turned against the American People".

[Freethinker65]

12. How much are they cutting legislators salaries?

Did Johnson ever explain why he didn't have a bank account?

[dchill]

24. That's exactly what I was thinking.

Speaker is way overpaid.

[KS Toronado]

33. Rs should be cut 99% since they do nothing.

[BaronChocula]

36. They are facing cuts

with the orange pig they worship pillaging their war chest for his defense fund. I say keep pwning the libs you morons!

[Cheezoholic]

41. 27th Amendment, Congress can't change their own pay in an election year

[pazzyanne]

44. LOL!

Surely you jest.

[global1]

13. Why Does It Seem To Me That The Repugs Are Doing Everything They Can To......

lose in November?

[TwilightZone]

15. Sure seems like it. Rand was on TV talking about cutting SS and Medicare.

Quite openly talking about it.

[Model35mech]

20. Porn for the rightwing base; they get tumescent thinking such wet-dreams

Republican politicians know how to play to their base,

They also know how to not do anything about realizing such fantasies.

As the vast majority of the R's most reliable voters include elderly family members that DEPEND upon those programs, cutting those programs would be self-defeating, or, maybe, an invitation to vengence by their own gun-owning cohorts.

[ShazzieB]

45. Because they're too stupid to realize that what they want is NOT what most American voters want!

Their views and values are so far over the line that most people consider normal that they can't even see "normal" from where they are!

[bluesbassman]

16. Funny how holding TSF accountable for his crimes sounds like turning against the People in his gnat brain.

You ain't winning that one you pusillanimous pipsqueak.

[ShazzieB]

46. A+++ for "pusillanimous pipsqueak"!

That is definitely a keeper!

[bluesbassman]

47. Glad you liked it, was the kindest thing I could think of to describe him.

His mere presence in that position is an affront to decency and an assault on our Democracy.

[Voltaire2]

17. Defund the police!

[Enquiring_Mind]

18. When your party's leader is a criminal, cut law enforcement

That's the logic.

[MontanaMama]

26. Bingo.

Welcome to DU.

[niyad]

28. Welcome to our DU family.

[mzmolly]

19. So - defunding police,

along with access to clean air, water etc.

[DFW]

22. IE defund federal law enforcement

I thought THEY were supposed to be dissing US for using the “defund the police” line. That didn’t last long, did it?

So what’s next? $100 million to fund Opus Dei?

[NoMoreRepugs]

23. Fuck him and the oh so tiny horse he rode in on.

[ShazzieB]

48. But tiny horses are so cute! 🥰

I say we leave the horse out of it!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. Stupid little Fake Jesus Johnson attacks American citizens again.

[niyad]

27. Would you care to guess what I would like to cut, you pathetic little religious creep??

[malthaussen]

35. You'd have to find it, first. n/t

[niyad]

53. That is what powerful magnifiers are for.

[Mr.Bill]

29. I'm old enough to remember

when they used to do shit like this behind closed doors instead of bragging about it. If they didn't talk about it, you sure couldn't count on today's journalists to find out about it and report it.

[MistakenLamb]

30. I thought they opposed Defund The Police?

[Johonny]

31. Jobs, jobs, jobs . . .

Biden should make all the cuts from red state offices

Biden would never sign this budget. Imaginary thinking.

[TNNurse]

32. Yes, increasing crime, pollution

so very Republican these days.

[OldBaldy1701E]

34. Let me fix this one little thing for you there, Mikey...

We have also advanced cuts to some of the agencies that have been turned against the American people hounding Republicans and their sycophants for far too long.

You're welcome Mr. Spatter...

[NBachers]

37. And the police will still be a solid puke voting block.

[BaronChocula]

38. Be careful what you wish for Mikey

When the ginned up magalimbaughs eventually turn on you for the smallest thing you might want that extra % of protection.

[70sEraVet]

39. Trump needs to remind him to cut the Capitol police force

They got in his way last time!

[byronius]

40. What a dirty little shitbird.

Skank. Weasel. Toad.

Pardon me.

[Cheezoholic]

42. They are scrambling today reaching out to whatever non RNC donor they can find

because they all just realized they're on the hook for their own campaigns, daddys got bills to pay lmfao

[TeamProg]

49. Frigging insane. nt

[rockfordfile]

50. The pos is supporting crime

Cutting those agencies supports crime.

[brush]

51. Why, you dumb fuck, just because because? Because you think that's what repulicans are supposed to do?

No, you moron, the cuts are supposed to be to taxes for rich republican donors like the ones who keep your campaign war chest full and Clarence Thomas on luxury vacations (screw everyone else), not to the institutions that keep the nation running.

And another thing, chances are your inexperience behind won't be around to see any such cuts, what with the "motion to vacate rule" your malicious but short-sighted repug colleagues foolishly adopted recently (see Kevin McCarthy).

[OAITW r.2.0]

52. So, the Republican House is reduced to sending up trial balloons, to see what the Base wants?

Can't build a budget and submit via legislative process?

[Emile]

54. Last time they had the majority they couldn't

even come together to pass funding for Trump's border wall. Now how is he going to do this? LOL
