President Donald Trump called on Republican Senators to implement the “nuclear option,” which would entail ending the filibuster, in an effort to end the now 31 day government shutdown.
In a pair of late night Truth Social posts made on Thursday, Trump accused the Democrats of having “gone stone cold ‘crazy.'”
“THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE “NUCLEAR OPTION,” GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT,” Trump wrote in one post.
House Speaker Mike Johnson was asked about Trump’s suggestion to end the filibuster.
“It’s not my call,” said Johnson. “I don’t have a say in this. It’s a Senate chamber issue. We don’t have that in the House. But the filibuster has traditionally been viewed as a very important safeguard. If the shoe is on the other foot, I don’t think our team would like it.”

Need the filibuster. The democrats stole the election and did everything they could to destroy the country for four years and would have completed the job if there was no fillibuster.
Johnson needs to go. Banning firearms in certain situations should never be a bad thing …. The age of the cowboy is over ….except in America.
When he say democrats will do all sorts of harmful to the country, does he means republican sending ICE agents to democrats state and doing thug job is not something harmful, wow
Asshole
Democrats core belief are Sucking dick, killing babies, illegal aliens. That's all they talked about 4 dam years
They want to get rid of the electoral college, open the border, more drag story hour in front of children, tax Americans, defund the police & ICE, restorative justice instead of prison, give free health-care to noncitizens, military generals wear skirts, reinstate Roe, deny parental rights in schools, and replace God with the state. HOLD THE LINE!
Mike Johnson thinks he is a bright man. He is not. He is a two-faced liar. He will go down in history as a damn weasel. No offense to weasels.
Democrats should stand their ground. Let Republicans destroy the healthcare system in the US. And when they try to steal the election, the American people will be justied in overthrowing their illegal government.
How making Puerto Rico harmful to the country?
