There disgusting mega sheet need total defeat 2024.
Vote BLUE for EVER
This guy Johnson used his knowledge as a constitutional lawyer to help try to destroy our Democracy from within.
Sedition is in his background.
Hes Trumps #1 Serf.
Johnson is a fanatical Christian Nationalist & fascism is his path;
– he is against LGBTQ,
– he is determined to destroy our social security and Medicare- asap.
– he is a severe & vicious Misogynistic Fascist
All in all this benign looking man is as dangerous to our Democracy as Trump.is.
Conservative us definitely not
Nor is he Pro Democracy in any form.
Bottom line: hes a a fascist in a suit & tie.
Glad Rachel Scott was stopped on her tracks when trying to put a negative spin on the moment. Take your democratic agenda somewhere else.
A leading election denier and staunch conservative (aka religious nut job)…this country is a hot mess express
I AM ONE HAPPY MAN.I WANTED JORDAN BUT MIKE WILL BE BETTER
Msn/wgn's heroine dealers keep trying to epstine me to cover up there dope there the wiredos from the big brother program
Boebart got her Big O Schnoz out front
They picked the least objectionable KKK member from Louisiana with zero committee leadership experience to run the entire congress? MAGA mistake!
I guess you had to be a reality denier to get the job
Look at that the Republicans they make one decision and came together for one vote after weeks of infighting and paralysis and you would think they discovered the wheel what a joke this is so SAD!!
I really enjoy how they make a point to blame Trump. One things for certain they have made lots of money off Trump. # FJB
Mike Johnson is in a covenant marriage. It means he likes his woman obedient and submissive.
This is not Democracy. Majority of Americans do not want this.
This is self-serving MAGA extremist Republicans causing
chaos and destruction in our country for their own benefits.
I'm available.
Trottin' out the nerd 👓 .
That guy doesn’t check the right box.
Am i crazy or maybe this isnt allowed, but: why dont the Dems just nominate a Dem? I probably am not understanding how it works fully, but if it isnt prohibited, then why not? With their votes, plus maybe a handful of Repub votes from those who dont want to give the speakership to a Trumpist and/or election denier and/or jan 6 apologist … just a thought shrug
A house divided cannot stand. I would have preferred jim jordan. However until jeffrey epstein's flightless is made public it's going to be a problem. How many politicians and other people are on that list.?❤ Have a great day….
4th Nominee?
Putin is trying to take over the Ukraine. That's Europe's "Bread Basket", and him controlling most of Europe's food is just flat crazy.
Israel got attacked and they need help. They also need someone that they'll listen to tell them to show restraint when it comes to killing civilians and kids. Maybe someone who can show them how to do it while they help them.
We need to pass a budget because the Gov is going to run out of money in a few weeks.
The MAGATS have crippled Congress while all this is going on and they're now on their 4th Candidate? Are you serious right now?
My advice to Republicans, kick out the MAGATS and a few break from the party to vote in a Dem as speaker? Why? Because the world is going to hell in a hand basket and you guys can't get your act together, THAT'S WHY!!!
Has Johnson withdrawn from consideration yet? Or is he waiting until after the vote?
