Trump Leaves Johnson Out to Dry

Here's a few of the subjects DONALD TRUMP has weighed in upon this past week: seizing the Panama Canal, the anniversary of his namesake tax cuts, SEAN HANNITY's engagement and electing WAYNE GRETZKY the next Canadian prime minister. One thing Trump has not posted about: electing MIKE JOHNSON as speaker of the House.

Which might seem spectacularly stupid, given that the Congress needs to Certify the Election, not have yet another Speaker Girl Fight instead.

The next 4 years are going to be nothing but a disintegrating belt feed of stupid. It's going to be great!

What's with all the talk about annexing Canada? Just "trolling"?

Justin flying down to personally kiss Lewzer's ass will likely be the end of his career.

Johnson couldn't hold the caucus together on the spending bill so Trump must be trolling the ranks for someone as un-democratic and un-American as himself who can follow his orders.

@#7 ... so Trump must be trolling the ranks for someone as un-democratic and un-American as himself who can follow his orders. ...

Possibly, but would such a person (e.g., possibly Rep Jordan?) be able to win the vote for Speaker?

Let it rest. If Trump wasn't stirring up dust about something, he wouldn't be Trump. Plus, he likes nothing better than to send the media off on wild goose chases.

@#14 ... Let it rest. ...

imo, a valid approach to that current alias, imo.

... If Trump wasn't stirring up dust about something, he wouldn't be Trump. Plus, he likes nothing better than to send the media off on wild goose chases. ...

Pres-elect Trump likes headlines about him.

Good headlines, or bad headlines.

It does not seem to matter.

All he seems to care about is a domination of the news cycle.

And that seems to fit in with his apparent obsession of self-adulation.

Get ready for 4 years of non-stop Lewzer babble.

"Lewzer babble"

Amazing how many people still fall for that.

Noise, and not action that benefits the Country.

He's nothing but noise. He never actually does anything other than make more noise. Short attention span.

@#20

Well, yeah.

But then there is the looming problem ...

If Spkr Johnson is not re-elected to be Speaker of the House, then the results of the November 2024 Election cannot be confirmed by the House.

Stated differently...

Without a Speaker, the House comes to a standstill.

Or might the House just elect a ~Speaker-pro tem~ for the sole purpose of validating the election results, trying to (as usual) put off the big decisions for a later time?

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
Ivy tapping on my window, wine and candle glow
Skies that promise snow have gathered overhead
Buttered toast and creamy coffee, table laid for two
Lovely having you to share a smile with me

And it's all right, sitting in firelight
Making the room bright, keeping us warm
Yes it's so good, smelling that pine-wood
Burning like wood should, glowing like corn

On the wall the clock is chiming, hours passing by
And for you and I the wind sings winter songs
In the village people gather at the Lamplight Inn
Drinking liquid sin to keep the cold away
...

It's obvious there's something afoot in the House Republican caucus.

We'll find out what, if anything, it is in a few days when they come back from their holiday break.

If the bulwarks hold the line, I think we can look forward to a raucous first session.

I, as a citizen of the Wisconsin portion of the United States, am scared witless at the prospect of Tangerine Palpatine getting sworn in as President. I have laid in a stash of Aldi's microwave popcorn, Aldi's greasy and salty snacks, and a twelver of El Cheap-o caffeinated sodas. "These are the times that try men's souls..."
