Ron Johnson has a sad and doesn't know what to do

[senseandsensibility]

except go on FAUX, apparently where he said:
"I'm hearing an awful lot from manufacturers in Wisconsin. If this thing drags on, the tariffs remain high, their businesses will be put out of business."

Isn't it terrible that this is happening to poor Ron and his constituents, and he is helpless to do anything about it?

[Skittles]

1. gee Ron

maybe pimping for a fucking CRIMINAL for president wasn't such a GRAND IDEA

FUCK OFF ALREADY

[SheltieLover]

2. Impeach NOW!

But repukes won't...

[senseandsensibility]

4. I don't even think he'd sign that bill

revoking trumps tariffs let alone impeach him. He's just a helpless liddle baby, I guess.

[SheltieLover]

5. Repukes are spineless

And kraznov liksly has a lot of kompromat on every single one of them!

They should try living with ingegrity like the Clintons, Obamas, & Bidens. Pukes frantically dug for years & came up empty!

[struggle4progress]

3. "But I have been unable to do anything since I sold my soul to Donald"

[SheltieLover]

6. Exactly!

[SWBTATTReg]

7. How many jobs does the actions of this moron-in-chief have to be lost before any repug acts? How much of

the economy does the moron have to destroy until any of these thugs wakes up, if ever, to even remotely do anything to really address this idiot and keep him from damaging the Country (he has already damaged it, destroyed a fairly robust economy when he took over in Jan. 2025). How many fake/false excuses will the moron keep uttering before any repug says or do a damn thing? By then, it'll be too late...

[senseandsensibility]

8. Exactly.

It sounds like Ronnie is getting scared because he knows the @# is about to hit the fan, but he's still not scared enough to DO anything.

[drmeow]

10. No repug will act

until some rich MFs who they believe have more power than the moron-in-chief start losing money and threaten them OR if the polls (in 2 years) show they are about to lose reelection (and even then I'm not convinced they would do anything). The reality is that too many repugs are completely OK with what he is doing.

[Traildogbob]

27. He does not

Have to react. His brain dead followers do. You know, the ones losing jobs and homes. If they are allowed to vote in Gerryville , ever again. And the votes are not thrown away to appoint Ronnie back. I.e. North Carolina’ own Gerryville.

[marble falls]

9. He'd have noticed it himself if his head weren't so far up Mango T. Jebus's butt.

[Hassler]

11. Luckily for Ron Johnson, moron from Wisconsin

He's so fking dense he forget all about it by tomorrow.

[senseandsensibility]

12. Lol

He does give off dense vibes. Maybe not as bad as Tommy Tubberville or whatever his name is, but pretty bad.

[CitizenZero]

13. I Hate Ron Johnson With A Passion

I have hated him for years now, ever since I saw him on TV explaining why he wants to get rid of Social Security. He is one of the worst of the Republicans, and that is saying a lot. I hate his guts. Fascist collaborator. Also an economic idiot for following Trump off of a cliff.

[Traildogbob]

28. Multiple Johnson's.

For a homophobic like trump, there are lots of Johnson’s up his ass.

[dchill]

14. What's a poor boy to do?

[NoMoreRepugs]

15. Russian Johnson is a true idiot.

[Cha]

16. Putin's Puppets "winning" elections have CONSEQUENCES.

Ya Dumb POS.

[ananda]

17. He's a whiny snowflake.

That's the Republican kneejerk when reality bites.

[AllyCat]

18. I cannot stand that jerk. I cannot make sense of

How he beat Feingold twice. I just don’t get it. Ruskie Ron is just so DUMB.

[Bluetus]

19. What is he crying about? The tariffs have barely started.

They are basically 10%. Trump has walked back more than 90% of his threats. China remains at 145%, but electronics and auto parts are mostly excluded.

I'm not saying there is no impact, but if he is hearing from constituents, just wait until the announced tariffs ACTUALLY happen. He thinks people are mad at Johnson and Trump now? He hasn't seen anything yet.

On top of the tariffs, the dollar has lost 10% since the election. That's exactly like another 10% tariff on imports, except that the US gets no income from that lost 10% value. It is just gone. That' more likely what importers are feeling now. Everything their import costs 10% more dollars than it cost with Biden was President.

And it doesn't end there. We just learned that 1Q had a DECLINING GDP, and that was BEFORE any of these tariffs came into plan. Q2 will almost certainly be another decline because people are now getting afraid of losing their jobs so they will cut discretionary spending. And we will get few foreign vacationers here this summer. So recession, dead ahead.

Don't waste all your tears just yet, Ronnie Boy. It gets worse, much worse. And we can't help you fix it. Republicans have to take this guy out.

[Chicagogrl1]

20. Play with fire

And get burned

[Skittles]

24. AKA FAFO

YES INDEED

[Chicagogrl1]

25. I like yours better

[Dr. T]

21. Double bird to Ron.

I realize that people under a certain age might be confused.
In days of old, extending a middle finger in someone's direction was described as flipping them the bird. Do the math.

[Blue Owl]

22. That's your party, MoRon

You rolled out the red carpet to usher all this sewage in

[DFW]

23. To think that Wisconsin chose Ron Johnson over Russ Feingold

It stretches the imagination.

Everything bad that has befallen the people of Wisconsin has done so because they voted for Johnson twice ant Trump again in 2024. If they take their complaints anywhere but there, they are directing them in the wrong direction.

[Jilly_in_VA]

26. Ron Johnson IS a sad

whiny moron.

[elocs]

29. FYI: Ron Johnson got elected in WI, beating Russ Feingold (remember him?), when too many Democrats

couldn't be bothered to vote in 2010 while Republicans turned out to vote like it was their duty. Also, in 1 election, the state flipped from total Democratic control to total Republican control with Scott Walker becoming governor. Johnson was reelected in '16 and '22 so unless he retires he is up for reaction again in '28.
Our other WI senator? Tammy Baldwin, who was reelected last November. So how do we get such different senators from the same electorate?

[senseandsensibility]

30. Loved Russ Feingold!

Can not believe WI voters voted for RJ instead of him.

[elocs]

31. Too many Democrats here couldn't be bothered to vote in the 2010 midterms.

Feingold waited for 6 years so he could get revenge on Johnson but he ran a lackluster campaign and lost again.
I think that Feingold could have beaten Walker in his recall election in 2012 because he was still popular here and had statewide name recognition, but no, he wanted Walker. After Feingold lost to Johnson again I didn't hear anything about him anymore.
Googling him I found he served as President of the American Constitution Society at Stanford Law School until he stepped down this year.
