House Speaker Mike Johnson told a hotel conference roomful of Christian conservatives that he was the only thing stopping Democrats from investigating not just President Donald Trump, but all of his allies and family members — and many of them, too.
Johnson spoke on Friday to the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s annual summit, a gathering of religious conservatives, where Trump also spoke later in the day. Most polling shows Democrats have a good chance of winning back the House of Representatives, but Johnson warned of the consequences for such a Republican defeat.
He warned that while Trump will not be on the ballot again, his future might be, along with their own.

tbh the biggest thing was not making the Senate proportional, which it was originally. now <1/3rd of the country gets 2/3rds of national power

The Senate not being proportional was because the House of Representatives has the issue of small states not getting representation. Tyranny of the majority and all that. It's supposed to be a balance, because legislation has to pass through both.
That's the issue with making a large country out of a bunch of small countries.
But the House decides what benefits the majority, and the Senate decides if that benefits the country as a whole. Although I don't believe the Senate should have the ability to not vote on a house bill.

should be a way for the House to force an issue past the Senate, at a minimum. better would be just dissolving the shit entirely and having 1 parliment. one of the many many failings of the US's government structure

They did. It’s the second amendment. We’re choosing not to utilize it.
What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion?
And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

ChetManly@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 35d
Hes only christian for the bigotry and false sense of superiority
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 34d
That's true, for the kind of Christian Johnson is. They're the bunch who'd kill Jesus if he came back.

hes also into conversion therapy, i think he went to one himself, because people notice have quite "flair" to him.

Said the quiet part out loud again
teawrecks@sopuli.xyz · 9 pts · 36d
He's not saying he'll do it. He's trying to scare them into voting Republican by arguing that Democrats will imprison them all on BS charges if they get control of the house.
He's literally arguing for a one party system though, so maybe that's the quiet part you meant.

God forbid there be any investigation of Donald Trump's actions.

Americans, your targets are waving their dicks at you. There is only one thing you need to do...
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 37d
I don't know whether to laugh or to be terrified that these assholes are straight up telling on themselves.
"JD" "Vance" is saying Watergate would be NBD in comparison to all the crimes his administration is doing.
The Keebler Elf here is straight up saying he's running interference for a pedophile and he's worried about Republicans facing consequences for their crimes.
It's almost like they expect to have zero consequences for being terrible people.

They're bragging.
IronBird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 36d
there have been practically zero real consequences for american politicians for nearly 50+ years, why wouldnt they think that?
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 0 pts · 35d
like all the court cases we say is just "asking them answer questions" in court, never charging or arresting any of them.

So he’s in charge of the mafia protection racket? Is there going to be another season of Sopranos starring Mike Johnson or will it be another season of House of Cards?
