  1. Amazing how fast conservative reps begin stating coherent truths when they find the shoe on the other foot and plan to resign. The Republican party constituents should be the definition example of suckers in the dictionary.

  2. Don’t they have some rule now that one person can cause some vote for a new speaker or some shit

    If memory serves me right, didn’t she say she’s gonna bring a resolution to the floor to have him removed as speaker? She’s supposedly retiring in a several days, I don’t think she meant that at all. Nobody believes her.

    You are 100% correct. It’s laughable and sad at the same time. Congress is filled with people elected by the people to represent the people’s interests. Under Johnson only Donald’s desires matter.

    If he is ANYBODY’S Speaker, he is her Speaker. She voted for him *because* he was controlled by the White House.

    January 3, 2025:

    Rep. [Marjorie Taylor Greene ](https://thehill.com/people/marjorie-taylor-greene/)(R-Ga.) announced Tuesday that she would be endorsing Rep. [Mike Johnson ](https://thehill.com/people/mike-johnson/)(R-La.) for House Speaker, a notable win for the Louisiana Republican given Greene has at times found herself at odds with him.

    “Here’s what I’m asking my colleagues to do: Let’s put aside our pride, let’s put aside our egos and let’s put aside the infighting,” Greene [said in a video](https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1874971609196576780) posted on the social platform X. “It’s time to come together as Republicans, and it’s time to do whatever it takes to make sure that we deliver the mandate that the American people told us to do.”

    “And that’s why I’m excited tomorrow. I cannot wait to get started. I’ll be voting for Mike Johnson,” she continued. “I will be looking ahead in complete hopefulness and working as hard as possible.”

  8. They’re both controlled by far-right billionaires who fund the Heritage foundation. Coors, Koch, Davis and Scaife .

  9. Mike Johnson considers himself a literal agent of God, and has in the past described his law career as “legal ministry” to enforce his faith on the nation. He and his wife were some of the [**first people to enter into a covenant marriage**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenant_marriage), which even the religious whackadoo right-wingers think is too crazy.

    He will absolutely support whatever and whoever he thinks is going to enable the spread of his Handmaid’s Tale-ass fanaticism the most, because it is his only goal in this world.

  10. Mike Johnson being weak and controllable was the feature that got him the Gavel. The audacity to act like now thats a problem is laughable
