I think it is disgraceful that a member of Congress, much less the Speaker, would bald faced lie to the American public. No matter how he attempts to explain it, it still comes down to a big fat lie. Shouldn’t there be a process for removing the Speaker of the House from the position because he’s no longer a trusted person who is THIRD in the line of succession? I hate to think what our lives would be if he ever inherits the Presidency.

There is a process to remove the speaker (remember McCarthy’s ouster?), but the party in power (Republicans) has to initiate it. Not gonna happen.

There is no one left in the Republican Party with a moral compass or an ethical standard so that’s not going to happen. When McCarthy was ousted the Republican Party had a hard time filling that position a I think I recall, right?

Yes. And why would it be even tougher to get someone to replace him now? Because none of these cowards wants to tell Trump to his face all the illegal things he is doing. The Party is happy Johnson has the job. Nobody in their right mind wants it. Even you or I wouldn't want it.

Yep. It was crazy. On October 3, 2023, the House voted to remove its Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, via a motion to vacate (first time it was ever used in American history), filed by then-Rep. Matt Gaetz. After an 8-day recess, It took 15 rounds of voting to appoint Patrick McHenry as Speaker pro tempore on October 23. On October 25, a new speaker was finally elected - Mike Johnson.

By the way, Johnson is not third in line but second in line. The VP assumes the Presidency if the President dies or incapacitated, and if the VP dies or is incapacitated the Speaker of the House assumes the Presidency.

That makes the VP first in line then it falls to the Speaker which makes him third.

Mike Johnson's defense of Trump and Epstein disgusts me. As a self-professed Christian, he has a terrible way of showing Christ's commands in his daily behavior. I'm especially referring to his constant lies in defense of Trump.

Regardless of what these morons are doing, I think it's just a distraction for the American people. We are becoming a lawless country by deploying the National Guard, not abiding by court rules. He is running a one-man show, and I believe he is preparing himself for a third run and possibly a longer term. This is how countries become dictatorships; look around and follow the footsteps he is taking. The Epstein files are just a needle in a haystack."

Use 5 calls to find your Rep and vent over the phone about Maxwell, tRumpervert and Epstein. It made me feel better. And how did Alan Dershowitz get a car for his wift... oh yeah, he was "working" for the Epstein Sex Ring.

So...Mike Johnson had to walk back his ridiculous claim. Let us face it: Mike Johnson IS a

I'm curious, though, where that ridiculous claim came from. Did he make that up? Somehow I doubt it because I doubt he can even go to the bathroom without instructions and permission. So, I wonder who told him to say all that?

Probably Susie Wiles. I was in a Zoom meeting yesterday with Heather Cox Richardson, and she talked about how Susie is in charge of Babyhead Trump's behavior--to the extent anyone can be She is probably trying to give some credibility to Micro-Mike Johnson, an impossible task, to be sure.
