"He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement," Trump wrote in a Monday social media post.

GOP Rep. Tim Burchett: Speaker Mike Johnson "doesn't cheat on his wife and I find that very appealing." Pretty low bar for the party of family values.

"Trump's endorsement comes as Johnson faced some resistance from Hill conservatives ahead of Friday's vote, but the president-elect's backing could stifle other opposition.

The slim GOP majority in the House for Friday's vote means that Johnson can only afford to lose two Republican votes. Democrats are expected to universally oppose Johnson, and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has already signaled his opposition."

So... someone must have told DJT that he couldn't be Certified as President if the House was too busy with their Speaker Wars.

Shame, that.

Once the election is certified, Pres-elect Trump will likely take a different stance towards Spkr Johnson.

Pres-elect Trump is transactional, I'd say he gave the endorsement mainly to get the election certified.

Hang on political tenterhooks like this ----, twist slowly in the winds, squeak for your master's attention, twist, twist, twist some more and then, should your knees be judged sufficiently pliable, Orange Julius may stir on his gold spray-painted throne in the Hall of Obeisance at Mar-a-Lardo and cast upon you the smirk of conditional acceptance.

I posted this earlier but it so ironic that now Trump's Presidency depends upon the certification of the election by the House of Representatives which was exactly the reason he incited a MAGA mob to invade the Capital to prevent the certification on Jan. 6, 2021 and which was a CRIME HE SHOULD BE TRIED AND CONVICTED FOR AND GO TO PRISON FOR but our country let's TV stars get away with crimes; First Reagan and now Trump. Be a TV star before running for President and then you can get away with any crime you want. And many idiots who post here voted for him twice! Vut hey, the same ---- idiots voted for Dubya twice too! Looking back at your voting history I do conclude you really are ---- stupid!

Related to MAGA's view of, well, just about everything? ...

Reel Big Fish - Everything Sucks (1996)
www.youtube.com

(music part of the video starts around 30 seconds in)
(looks like the band had some fun with the making of this video)

Lyrics excerpt...

...
There's a ska band on my street
A little ska band
Everybody thinks that they're so f---in' neat
There was nothin' on the radio
Was gonna make my own band, play my own shows
But that don't work so I'm givin' up again

[Pre-Chorus 1]
She said she loved me cause I played guitar
That's okay, I didn't love her at all and I say
I'm givin' up because

[Chorus]
I know everything sucks yeah
I know everything sucks woah-oh-oh
I know everything sucks
And this is gonna be the last time you hear me complain

[Verse 2]
Well, I went down to the show
Everybody was there, I didn't wanna go (here we go!)
Cause everything they do is so f---in' cool
Every song is a hit and the girls like 'em too
I can't do that so I'm givin' up again

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't know why I learned to play guitar
Nobody's gonna know who we are and I say
I'm givin' up because

[Chorus]
I know everything sucks yeah
I know everything sucks woah-oh-oh
I know everything sucks
And this is gonna be the last time you hear me complain
...

@#9 ... Fat Donnie Loser is an incompetent, incontinent ----. ...

Ya gonna need to be a whole lot more specific.

Incompetent in channeling adulation and money towards him? I would tend to agree with that statement, imo, he seems to be quite good at that.

Incompetent in leading a Country for the good of the people in that Country? Well, I may have issues with tht statement.
