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.

        They do, these asshats just refuse to believe they elect more than just greedy assholes, they elect the worst of the worst kinds of people so they need to deflect and say “you elected a jerk too so everything is even and I don’t have to worry about the people I elected.” It’s ridiculous.

          I am really unsure what makes Pelosi a piece of shit. Also, your joke doesn’t make sense because they don’t have the votes to elect anyone.

              That’s it? That’s the one? Donald Trump has multiple credible accusations of rape and Nancy was hypocritical… I know that is what aboutism but I am hoping to all get out that you are some sort of lefty purist.

                Any victim of Donald can take the proper steps to file civil suits and go to the police. Unfortunately nothing is done against Nancy and Newsom and the others that broke thier own rules during covid
