If Johnson had been more of a man, and more of an American, perhaps he could have avoided all this.

But he was and is neither, and gets (the start of) what he deserves.

Does he at least have an underage boy nearby to help him heal?

Mike Johnson belongs in prison.

Alongside Trump, Musk, the entire republican cabinet and the members of DOGE.

ICE needs to be defunded.

"So far left"?

I'd be surprised to see democrats do anything over the next year before they start campaign for 2028.

There's been a lot of cheering today.

I hope it's more fruitful than 2020.

New Speaker Hakeem Jeffries is going to have his hands full with that loudmouth know-nothing "Gym" Jordan as the minority leader.

As for Mike Johnson, he only served one Master and it wasn't the country he was supposed to serve. I'm surprised that he still has a seat in the House. So much for the judgement of Louisiana.

Johnson should at the very least do the honorable thing and resign his seat

I'll wager that those stupid MAGA hats will not be seen again until Halloween next year, and the royal blue suits and red ties will be seen on the racks at Goodwill before seen On the bodies of GOPers in DC ...

1) Do you want to admit that you were beaten? And why you were beaten?

2) A lot of MAGA belongs in prison because they are criminals. There, I've given you one of the answers to my own #1.

Let me drill into this for a moment. Donald Trump is a criminal on a world scale. His peer in this is Putin himself.

As such, if there is now enough power to cleanly remove the man from office it should be done because he is far from done with his crimes or his tricks.

The reason so relatively few tricks were played against this election (SO FAR) by Trump is that too many of his showed up to vote against him, and TRUMP THE COWARD is showing up.

This the blessing so many millions of us hoped for.

MAGA Mike doesn't want the job because he would actually have to work. In the majority he just sat there, did nothing, and let Trump run rampant. In the minority he would actually need to lead his party. He's not up for that.
