Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Put her on a rocket and shoot it into space
Just tell her she’s there to install the border lasers.
She can go out there and destroy the Jewish space lasers
She's just trying to keep the government dysfunctional. She needs to go live with her employers in Russia.
Magic The Gathering needs to take her own advice.
Too high upkeep, just discard it
If I said what I believe it is that MTG should do in order to do "the right thing" I'd be censored.
She's caught between a rock and a hard place if the rumors of 2 R's being ready to walk (if Johnson is ousted) are believed on capital hill. Her twitter follows won't be satisfied unless someone motions to vacate but if they cause the majority to change their donor money is going to dry up even more than it already has.
Her real problem is actually a little different. If she introduces a motion to oust, the Democrats will just vote against it this time. They ousted McCarthy because he went and betrayed them plus threw them under the bus, so they had no reason not to hope for a different speaker. Johnson kept his end of the bargain and doesn't go out of his way to fuck them over, so they have no reason not to reward him and keep him in power. Thus, if she introduces a motion to vacate, she and a couple other crazies vote for it and the whole rest of the House votes against it, revealing her to be even more of a joke than she's already become.
It does feel different this time. Even if traditional Republicans bend the knee to Trump and his extremist voters, we're all sick of these sickening new levels of dysfunction. Notice I didn't say they would do the right thing for the right reasons...
so they have no reason not to reward him and keep him in power.
They have dozens of reasons to want him out.
The Dems would be foolish to intervene and prevent the GOP continuing to bludgeon themselves. If the right end to avoid the shit show caused by their own party, they should vote in a Dem speaker, even if a minority party representation.
He should step down, immediately leave Congress and take one other GOP with him.
Funny that Mike Johnson is now a (very relative) good guy in this current atmosphere
Inb4 a bunch of anger
He just did his job as SotH. Don’t read too much into it. He’s chosen the Bible over the life of citizens before, and he’ll happily do it again.
He's a fundy traitor. Just because he finally caved on this issue after ENORMOUS political pressure, doesn't mean he deserves any credit. He should be jailed for all the lives lost in Ukraine while he dicked around and held this up.
Mike Johnson is a weirdo but at least he's willing to let the gears turn with the dems.
He is the first Republican leader since Boehner to have a gonad related name.
Its a calling card of the old money side of the party.
Is she just trying to churn through speakers until she's made the speaker?
Either way, I wish she'd fuck off for good. Her inane, toxic ranting is incredibly annoying.
She's introduced past legislation with basically word-for-word Russian talking points. She's straight up corrupt and wants government dysfunction and inaction.
Stop listening to this idiot. She only exists to be a distraction and/or to promote her own self-interests. She's never saying anything constructive or of any consequence.
She's a Russian mouthpiece
Backseat driver
Her first
