They have managed to be in control of all branches of government, so don't get cocky. We have an election Tuesday. If they are in the Republican column don't vote for them. Show the parties we are watching and we will vote. If we get a midterm election hopefully we can stop this disaster
The thing about people is that they don't live in isolation. It doesn't matter if any one politician feels shame. They have families, they go out in public, and they interact with others often.
Yeah he seems like the kind of weirdo who'd want his own son to know whenever he was jackin it. Like if there was an app he could download to make that happen, he'd totally do it.
Democrats should meet anyways, as a parallel government, and pass laws that they would pass, even if they aren't going to hold up, the show of doing what they could do when they can't because of the GOP won't let them would be good publicisty
Especially with all the "Republicans are not in charge" talk Johnson has been spouting. Just start doing things, rules be damned. They're not being followed anyway, so just start doing what you want to do.
Invite any Republicans who want to join in, even if they want to argue against it, that's fine, just show yourself working. Either make Johnson show up and actually run things, or run things without him.
Hey Mike, you're in an impossible situation. On the one hand pledged your loyalty and honour to a guy, and on the other you're causing children to starve. You're a man of faith, what does your faith say to do in such a situation? Maybe if your guy is worth your loyalty then he has nothing to fear from a fair trial.
He is not a man of faith. No MAGA have any real faith at all. Here is the "faith" test: should kids have free lunch at public school?
If you say yes, you have a shred of decency and goodness.
If you say no, you are a sociopath driven by greed, hate, and evil.
I still have such a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that so many on the right will never watch MSNBC, or, if they do, likely would never admit it, because of fierce brand loyalty to another corporate right-leaning news network.
This brand loyalty is so ironclad that they cannot even understand or at least won't admit that MSNBC is also right leaning. The Faux loyalists really do think it's some kind of liberal outlet, LOL.

This guy is a POS.
But this story is "opposing party calls politician the worst ever."
Dumb gossipy bs

JUST because he's Allowing MILLIONS of Children to Starve so he can Protect the Richest Child Rapists in the world DOESNT make him BAD!

Hmm he’s operating like he’s probably the last speaker in history, anybody else find that alarming?
radio@sh.itjust.works · 22 pts · 307d
If Republicans were at all competent it might be alarming. But these people are all losers and this guy is the biggest loser of them all.
They have the will but they don't have the way.

Shaming them can be very effective.

Maybe they can deploy a paramilitary organization called NICE to protect and help immigrants integrate.

He really should be removed from the Speakership for dereliction of duty, but to do so would require the House to actually meet for business.

There's been Speakers of the House who raped kids so that is really saying a lot about Mike Johnson to call him the worst.

We would have to see the Epstein list to know if he's done that or not 🤷♂️

I loved Mike Johnson's clapback though:

The worst speaker for democracy. But for dictatorship? He is a golden Johnson, and he likes to make it rain yellow on the constituents.
