Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was also once called a key “architect” in Congress’s efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.
Johnson finally secured the speaker’s gavel after Republican infighting left the House without a speaker for 22 days. He secured 220 votes.
Johnson is a four-term congressman representing Louisiana. His win also represents the rise of the MAGA front in the Republican Party. Earlier Wednesday morning, Donald Trump endorsed Johnson as House speaker—after quickly killing Mike Emmer’s nomination the day before.
Yeah… we just call them christofascists these days.
I just call them Republicans means the same thing now
Yup. Always has been. Proven time and time again.
Classic. You continue to generalize while ignoring the large diverse reasons these idiots vote this way.
Sure, lets start with racism, homophobia, ignorance, religion and greed. What other reasons do these idiots have for voting for politicians even pond scum looks down on?
Either way, they’re supporting shitty people and making life worse for everyone else just because they can, so fuck em.
Because they are idiots who don’t like the idea that government is imposing on their lives. Forced healthcare, gun restrictions, food restrictions, etc. But yeah let’s paint every single one of them as Nazis. That’s definitely healthy.
L2read friend, I never said you/they were Nazis, you just might be super sensitive to the fascistic nature of the party. Might be something to reflect on.
I only mused on why idiots constantly vote against their own best interests and continue to elect people that actively make their lives worse. The fact you list ‘forced healthcare’ as a reason to vote for these dipshits is honestly more sad than anything. But hey, enjoy your freedom to pay for the opportunity to be told to fuck off and die when the insurance don’t pay your medical procedure.
I’d love to say that’s a problem that will solve itself, but innocent people will be harmed because of the choices republicans force on the rest of the country. So again, fuck republican voters. I would love to still have compassion for their situation, but I’ve but I long ago ran out of sympathy for those who actively reject the idea of compassion to others.
Go on. It’ll be funny.
👌👍
Nat-c’s for short.
And, he’s 3rd in line to the presidency.
Fucking fascists. This close to control. What a sad state.
Isn’t he second in line after VP?
I think we’re saying the same thing, but just assigning numbers and using language with slight variations.
I agree that we’re trying to say the same thing but the other person who commented is trying to make it an indexing problem so I apologize:
When you’re the president, you are the president. You are not in the line of succession. You are not 0th or 1st in line to be president because you aren’t in the queue.
When you are riding a rollercoaster, you aren’t first in line to ride the rollercoaster. You’re not in line. The person who didn’t make it on the ride is first in line
Depends on if you count the president as 0 or 1
The President isn’t in line to be President. He IS the president. This isn’t an array indexing problem.
When you’re on the roller coaster, you are not first in line to be on the roller coaster. The person who just barely didn’t make it on is first in line.
I did nat-c that coming… yeah, it works.
Nazi and/or traitor work as well
Much shorter, too
