Johnson has never offered even the slightest resistance to Democrats.

Check it out Mike said no more money for Ukraine while our border is open.
This is the hill to die on.

Mike's wife got a letter from the FBI with some suspect ricin in it.

Money to Ukraine is Mike's number one priority.

Massie and that Chip guy will also probably demand regular order no more continuing resolutions. But didn't Speaker J already promise all this?

See it sucks bc you really need guys who give zero fricks and are still electable.

It’s pretty hard to find that.

I’m sure the Democrats will save him. He does everything they want him to do.

Johnson is out. Trump knows it. Orange is just playing 4D underwater. Trump is a time traveler.

The Republicans are in huge trouble if they can’t elect a speaker, again.

Yep. This is one of the things the Freedom Caucus wants and everybody should hope they get.

Who are they going to replace him with that can get the votes? It was a mess when they voted McCarthy out. That’s how they ended up with Johnson.

Exactly. The hard votes are going to be whipped by Trump no matter the Speaker. Change Mike out in ‘26 if they lose the House.

It's funny that I was actually going to say "and no not Rand" cause I saw him mentioned before.

Obviously he technically could do it as you don't have to be in Congress, but thinking someone in the Senate would not be feasible. Especially someone who is salivating at getting his teeth into Fauchi.
