Most Americans might not be able to pick Mike Johnson out of a lineup, but in reality he's far from benign. Johnson is a true Trump believer. He was an architect in the House of Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election, and served as one of the former president's impeachment lawyers. He is opposed to any form of abortion access. He once supported criminalizing gay sex. MSNBC
gonna need you to stop posting stuff from sites that have been known misinformation on them..
I don't watch MSNBC, but I think all of the above is true (not sure about the gay sex thing).
The gay sex issue is well documented by many sources

Trump had an openly gay cabinet member..
When his supporters say he could shoot a man in the street and still maintain their support I wonder if that includes "loving" a man in the street.
Well you haven't been shot yet .

When McCarthy was Speaker you guys hollered about "regular order" primarily for the individual budget bills. You wanted Freedom Caucus members on the Rules Committee.
McCarthy gave you what you wanted and the Freedom Caucus members on the Rules Committee blocked the individual budget bills. An omnibus bill is passed to keep government open and you vacate the chair - McCarthy is out.
Now you want regular order for budget. Freedom Caucus again blocks bills…


If the people's representatives are blocking bills maybe there is something wrong with them.

I know you dislike Democracy but if you can't write a bill out of committee then the problem lies with the bills.

Omnibus bills written by the leadership and dropped in the middle of the night is rule by oligarchy


Fire Johnson
That will solve your problems Why not Boebert?



I didn't make any recommendation to fire anyone

You seem to be the one who is sure of what the Congress should do…

took a once in 100 years pandemic, last minute, non-legislative election rule changes, and Biden still only one by about 76,000 votes..

Trump gonna win the popular vote in 24
I'm not sure why you feel the need to keep bringing up how Trump will win. He might, but I don't think so and doesn't help your case for people to get out and vote.
its fun to watch yall cry about him..

If the vote was Today, he wins convincingly. Things can change..



I just want Trump to win so I can see JR and Ron cry
got $1K says the Criminal does not win. You in?
you are gonna have to be way more specific..

You gotta wonder why keeping the Ukraine money flow and lobbyist Buffett going is so important to people in the leadership?

If I was Speaker I might just sit back and agree to follow what I promised my caucus and not try to cram through another "aid" package of taxpayer cash through against what my members wanted….

Ol' Majorie would do the nation and the Congress the highest good by proving up Wilde's observation that her "absence is good company". Both political parties are complicit in the dissolution of the Republic: the Dems by despicable policy; the GOP by acquiescence.

Instead of continually shooting the messenger in your defense of a Ukrainian regime that has banned its largest Christian denomination, tossed clergy in prison, and cancelled elections in the name of "democracy", perhaps you could point out where she is objectively wrong.

With Kevin McCarthy leaving congress early and hurting the already slim majority that the GOP has, shows that he put his ego above that of the party he pretended to represent and "values" of conservatives he pretended to fight for.

Guy should've never been speaker in the first place.

McCarthy is a slime ball. But then again, so is 99% of Washington DC.
