Unfortunately for Mike Johnson, his party has been captured by Trump and his dangerous and incorrect beliefs about voter registration. While Johnson attempts to keep the government afloat, a handful of his colleagues have chosen to hold the country hostage and complain about non-existent "illegal voters."

Whether Republicans or Democrats are in charge, these theatrical last-minute spending bill debates always result in the government increasing the national debt. Both parties will pretend to bicker over certain issues, but in the end, the Democrats will get their bloated welfare spending and Republicans will grow the military-industrial complex.
