Well, bless his pea pickin' heart. If everyone involved is to be brought to justice... he and the GQP are 100% culpable. He won't need the job. Mandate? My backside. Thoughts and prayers, Mikey... thoughts and prayers, because the party is fooling far fewer of US citizens today.
Hakeem Jeffries for House Speaker! Mike Johnson is the one who has fully descended into “palace drama,” and now appears to be so stressed out about the speaker election that he can’t string two sentences together. Johnson is MAGAt poison and a disastrous person to lead any organization
There is no low when it comes to Republicons. What a joke! They did absolutely nothing in the last congress. What work are they trying to get done? Oh that's right tax cuts for billionaires.
He’s still gonna be gone and everyone will once again see the dysfunction that is the modern day GOP.
Side note, I like what you said about 45’s declining influence. Hopefully as the years go on, Rs will realize that 45 doesn’t have as much power over them as they think he does and will basically say “f it, we don’t have to listen to you anymore.” I think that will especially be true when (not if) Rs lose the House in 2026.
Wouldn't it be Trump's karma if he can't get Johnson reelected speaker, or anyone else for that matter before the election is to be certified. I think the Republican party is so divided now, that this is what will likely happen, and that shows just how much power Trump has over the Republicans.
Can we please set aside this fiction that the election can't be certified without a Speaker? !
The electoral college vote will be certified on January 6 whether there is a Speaker of the House or not. That's because the procedure for doing so does not require one. When the House convenes, the Clerk presides over all House business until a Speaker is chosen -- that would include transmitting the election results to the Senate.
(For confirmation, please see the US Constitution, Article II, Section 1, paragraph 3 -- There is absolutely no mention of any role for the Speaker of the House.)
Johnson himself is a Louisiana terrorist attack on this once-great country.
What a sorry sack of crap! Typical Rep strategy, BUT when there is a mass shooting, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT GUN REFORM.
I hope three Reps cross lines and vote for Jeffries which would be a miracle.
That would be absolutely awesome and hilarious. Plus would be a great middle finger to 45 from Ds and Rs that still have a brain and spine.

May he receive what he deserves. maga has no place in government.

And now, ladies and gentlemen let us present Elon Musk. What a joke!

Question is: does Trump or maga know what happened in 1812.
Their cult members don’t know what happened in late 1930’s Germany
They might have a “concept “
Or maybe they do
It’s encouraging to witness gop fractures.
Jeffries is qualified.
Johnson said "palace drama." Does he think that this is the Byzantine Empire?
All / MOST republicans in office know how to do is to traffic in the misery and harm to others to make something to enrich themselves IN SOME WAY.
DISGUSTING CREEPS. Yes I am shouting.
It’s the Republican Party, stupid. Useful idiots.
Why would anyone be surprised that MJ would stoop low…he’s just another craven, divisive maga wrapped in the vestments of Christianity.
