Speaker Johnson thinks Americans worried about affordability need to just “relax”

This from a guy earning a 6 figure salary coming off an 8 week vacation paid for by us. He should do anything but relax. He shld be freaking out about losing his job and having to go to work.

Trump, who promised lower prices on day one. Now Trump and his administration are telling his supporters, "Fuck you, we don't believe you, deal with it"...while they all rake in billions.

Stop making an issue of a word (affordability) that has been understood and used since 1910 and traceable back to 1640s! Everyone knows how bad things are when they go grocery shopping! You don't need Trump or MAGA Mike to preach to you as if they've just discovered a new problem with the economy!

Can NOT wait for him to go down in flames Hope the Rep members of Congress Who are planning to step down Do it soon And en masse It's time for us to take back the House Make America SANE Again

He lies for Trump like a puppet on a string. His answer is condescending, insulting and glimpse into the degree of his arrogance. It is notable however that he completed a sentence that didn’t include:”This is the 1st I’ve heard of it. It’s out of my lane. I don’t know what you’re referring to”.

I was just informed next year, after the election, because of the OBBB I won't have anywhere to access health care because of the cuts. The only available clinics in my county are already on the likely shut down list. Mike Johnson can fuck himself.

The reality is, America is teetering on economic and monetary collapse, and everything Trump and the Republicans are doing is only accelerating the collapse. Kevin Hassett, a sycophantic moron, as Fed Chair will obliterate the value of the U.S. Dollar.

And I say to that, “RELAX- your GOP majority will slip away before then while your rats jump ship!” He is about the most tone-deaf idiot to sit in that seat, and he runs his mouth daily because he’s a sucker for self-torture. It is going to cost him everything.

THIS IS WHAT TRUMP IS DOING - TRYING TO HIDE EVIDENCE OF HIS CRIMES HES COMMITTED AND HIS DAILY CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES. THIS IS WHAT FELON RAPIST TRUMPS BEST FRIEND DID TO HIDE EVIDENCE OF HIS WAR CRIMES👇 WHEN AMERICA???

I wouldn't count on that for yourself, Mikey. Your friends in Congress can't stand you, your capricious Master will tire of you, and crazed mobs could come after you with a gallows, just ask the other Mike. But relax anyway, while you still can.

Name a single thing the GOP has done- from Trump to GOP Congress, GOP Senate, GOP Supreme Court that does one iota of ANYTHING that addresses affordability. You can't. Know why? Because there is nothing. We are witnessing an emptying of the vault by a crime syndicate masquerading as a government

This is a VERY SAD TRUTH. It needs to be on "Truth Social" more than on Blue Sky. Study or read about the fraud & corruption following the US Civil war or of the "Gilded Age" to learn more about how they haven't changed except in the name they call themselves. John Jakes novels if that reaches you.

Be cool everyone, it’s the most expensive month of the year for most Americans - but don’t sweat it. We have a President and a cabinet of people just as smart as him that will make sure you hear that you aren’t going broke despite the reality that you are in fact, going broke.🤡🤡🤡🤡

Inflation during Biden was driven mostly by Trump spending more unpaid-for money than any president in history with his massive tax breaks for the rich (Prior to covid). And now these idiots want us to believe another unpaid-for bill doing the exact same thing will somehow make things better? 🤦‍♂️

When you live hand-to-mouth a month or two can stand between you and homelessness and all that follows. Someone with money won’t understand this. If Johnson were to trade places with an economically-challenged person he’d fold into a sobbing fetal position within a few hours.

I can't see this without wondering how many times this coke-addicted whorebag practiced this in her bathroom mirror looking at her naked skeleton & thinking 'I'm nailing it!'?

Imagine a democrat speaker voicing that in the last election cycle. It would have been top news cycle. Telling poor Americans to hold steady when they elected these idiots on price relief day one is horrible. Many paycheck to paycheck households aren't holding at all right now.

I took a page out of Mike Johnson's book and told the bill collector that called to "Relax. I'm on the trajectory of where I always planned to be. Steady at the wheel, friend. It's gonna be fine. The best days are ahead of me." Needless to say, he was not receptive.

“Any day now, the American people will begin seeing the benefits of the trickle down we’ve been selling for the past 40 years - they just need to keep the faith, and the cash will start flowing into their pockets….”

Employment in the U.S. private sector plummeted faster than expected in November, according to a report from the payroll processing firm ADP, marking the largest decline in years as small businesses were hit hardest.

So 24 hours turned to a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks has turned into a few months and now a few months has turned into sometime next year. Do people actually believe this shite 🙈

It’s taken a painfully long time, but voters are feeling Trump’s economic “policy” in their pocketbooks. This is one issue where Democrats must be thrilled that Trump’s ego blocks him from making voters happy. The convicted felon’s MAGA Party will pay a price in November. bsky.app/profile/vinc...

Convicted felon Donald Trump campaigned on affordability. His tariffs, a budget for the rich and federal government destruction are wrecking the economy. Yet, he calls affordability a Democrat “con job.” Trump knows all about con jobs. He’s a master of them. vincewade.com/beat-afforda...

Trump won’t be the first president sunk by a sour economy, and he won’t be the last. The question is, how many Republicans will sink with him? We will find out in less than a year. bsky.app/profile/vinc...

Denial of reality is one of Donald Trump’s many mental illness issues. A new Politico poll finds nearly half of Americans believe affordability “is out of control” and they blame Trump. As political pro James Carville famously said, “It’s the economy, stupid.” vincewade.com/denial-wont-...

IIRC, the BBB provisions don't kick in until after the midterms. I could be wrong. If correct, he wants us to wait a YEAR to see "improvement". Narrator: "It won't be an improvement."

All throughout 2026 the #BBB will be kicking in to kick the shit out of the poor & middle class so that millionaires can become billionaires. The end is coming & #LilJohnson wants us to be calm while we wait in line to be slaughtered.

Republican best days are always ahead of them that’s the problem. Look over your shoulder and see the mayhem they’re leaving in their wake. Clinton left a surplus, Bush Jr’s future looked great, and then he started spending and lying us into wars. Such a bad job Republicans claimed to be independent

Republican party congresspeople have talked like this for decades. Johnson and the others need to be reminded daily of the struggles of not being able to own a home or even pay rent timely, of having to be extremely careful to keep food on the table, of being unable to get decent healthcare.

Okay, I can relax now. My husband has worked 5 small construction jobs in 7 weeks. My son, who has NEVER been without work, was laid off. I am so glad little Johnson gave me permission to relax. Work issue not due to immigration it is due to incompetence from the top down.

We are supposed to just relax while trump the Lump takes away health care benefits and keeps the prices of food though the roof and that he tears down more of the WhiteHouse uses ice to harm American citizens keep firing government Agencies Terrorist attacks that could happen against us at any time

Per the usual, "because I said so" or "trust me" doesn't feel so reassuring coming from the party that supports a felon with a pedophile BFF, who is also currently enriching himself & his family. Best days ahead for whom?
