Vacate Watch - Speaker Mike Johnson (R - LA)

[Dribble]

Interesting if crude legislation. Two key findings:
1. Homosexuality is a choice.
2. Homosexuality leads to pedophilia.

I don't believe either of the above two statements are supported by facts.

They aren't. But do the facts matter when it comes to legislation? I think we fucked up big time Rory. And I am not going to sit back and not hold my Party responsible for their choice

 

[Rightguide]

The Democrats are happy. The Republicans just spent more than two weeks campaigning for them for free.

Delusional Disorder is treatable. There's help out there, seek it out.

 

[Dribble]

It's almost as if you get it.

I do get it. Why don't you?

 

[Bn2f]

It will happen if there are enough "secret patriotic republicans" in the House to join with the Democrats and insist that President Biden’s recent request for a national defense / border security package get an up or down vote.

The new speaker, Mike "somebody / anybody" has already tried to use Israel as a wedge by promising to bring ONLY an aid package for Israel up for a vote.

SAD!!!

Republicans can vote in secret to reject Jordan, can’t on the continuing resolution. Trump will be able to see the turncoats. But this congress has made history for doing nothing. And McCarthy blocked democratic bills coming to the floor because he knew his caucus had plenty of moderates and sane members who would vote for many of these democrat, constituency helping bills. Biden and democrats, I think, have a winning argument in tying aid to Ukraine to Israel. Ball is, again, in the republicans court.

 

[icanhelp1]

No...you fail to accept that everything about to happen we caused.

Tell me...why did we lose the House? We had Roe v Wade being overturned. How is that not great campaign fodder? Yet...it didn't help us did it? Why?

R v W did help, it stopped a red wave. What should have been a 60 +/- seat majority was whittled down to 9 seats.

 

[Lazaran]

They aren't. But do the facts matter when it comes to legislation? I think we fucked up big time Rory. And I am not going to sit back and not hold my Party responsible for their choice

Jesus, Dribbs.

You responded to Rob and called him Rory.



Also:

You’re dumb.

Delusional Disorder is treatable. There's help out there, seek it out.

Facts aren't delusions - Republicans have twice been so dysfunctional that they can't even figure out who should lead. Not to mention they let a total of 8 people fuck shit up.

Why would anyone vote for this?

New House Speaker Mike Johnson Issues Statement Following Today’s Victory: A Commitment to Conservative Policy and Restoration of Trust​

By Jim Hᴏft Oct. 25, 2023 1:45 pm

Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), the newly elected Speaker of the House, released a statement shortly after his win was announced. Johnson has taken the reins as the 56th Speaker, and his statement addressed the path ahead for the House under his leadership.

“It is the honor of a lifetime to have been elected the 56th Speaker of the House,” Johnson began. “Thank you to my colleagues, friends, staff, and family for the unmatched support throughout this process.”

Mike Johnson was elected the 56th Speaker with 220 votes—just five votes over the 215 needed to secure the Speaker’s gavel. The close count came as a result of four absent members.

Johnson acknowledged the arduous campaign that preceded his victory and the complexity of the chamber he is now set to lead.

The Democrats are sad.

Sweet Nebuchadnezzar, now that the Deplorables have a speaker they now feel free to come back and talk about all the crap things they think they’ll be back to doing.

After the galactic insanity of Nancy Pelosi, please give it a rest.

 

[ll74]

I think the most awesome part of this is all the money Democratic candidates have saved from the chaotic Republican discount. Who needs marketing?

 

[butters]

mccarthy refused to bargain with the dems and got binned
jordan...no respectable dem would vote for that piece of work
Emmer...the republicans made sure he didn't even get the vote on the floor where dems could have supported him in order to help break the deadlock
johnson...elected by the repubs without the need for a dem vote for him

so just where were dems supposed to help elect a moderate?
jeez

 

[ll74]

After the galactic insanity of Nancy Pelosi, please give it a rest.

The united party leader who got more major party policy and bipartisan legislation enacted during her tenure than anyone in the past several decades?

I'm definitely not the delusional one here. Democrats can just plaster Gaetz's face on everything they send out.

It gave the party a chance to refocus, in my opinion it was needed. The pub house is more united now.

Youve wasted over a month (combined time during speaker votes) to squabble over interparty horseshit.

But spin it however you need to feel better.

We have 22-23 days until shutdown. A quick scan of the calendar has congress in session 11 days. I want to be optimistic but the majority party has no designed plan to solving problems.

If there is bipartisan support for approving the aid package for Ukraine, Israel, the Indo-pacific, humanitarian assistance, and the border, then the lawmakers should be able to get it through.



Also:

If the "republicans" decide to hold the country hostage again by reneging on the Debt Ceiling deal numbers, then the "republicans" will own the blame for whatever economic damage that follows.

Gaetz made his own bed. That's on him, but Nancy was and is a crazed dishonor to our country.

She gets shit done.

Republicans don't want to govern and should not be trusted to do so.

Your party is much weaker than it was a month ago because your leaders have made it so.

Here you go.
Speaker Johnson? Democrats demand a vote! And border security just to rub it in their hypocritical noses even more.

 

[RobDownSouth]

I'm sure that half of the Secret Service (the half that remained uncompromised by Trump) are extremely worried now.

The United States of America is now a scant two bullets away from becoming the Christian Nationalist Empire.

The two things that stuck out fromSpeaker Mike "Somebody’s" acceptance speech, was the comment about his wife being on her knees, and the not so subtle suggestion that the United States was founded and exists as a theocracy.

SAD!!!

They aired out the dirty laundry for all to see , transparency which is a good thing.

No he’s not. Dems are in for a rough 2024 election cycle.
