      What price?

      What have Dems gotten for voting for Johnson?

      Probably the Ukrainian funding the MAGAs are trying to oust him for.

      But yeah I guess the existence of an empty impeachment inquiry that is going nowhere probably means the democratic party are full of suckers that don’t know what they’re doing, and MAGAs trying to remove Johnson just because they’re so wacky wacka flacka.

      The first one is always free.

        The first?

        There was the one that got him speaker, and the one that just happened…

        That’s two. And that’s ignoring the other motions to vacate and that it didn’t just take one vote to make him speaker.

        I don’t understand how anyone can think Johnson has only been helped by Dems once…

          There was the one that got him speaker

          That vote was 209 Democrats and 220 Republicans. A straight party line vote.

            That’s right, I was confusing him with the last republican speaker Dems voted for.

            Still not sure why we bailed him out after he tried to impeach Biden for bullshit reasons

              The previous speaker was McCarthy. The final ballot was 216 to 212 in a straight party line vote.

              Democrats did vote for his ouster, when a motion to vacate was brought.

              He was bailed out because he passed Ukraine aid. (And Israel aid, and Taiwan). And before that he avoided a government shutdown.

              He caved on democratic priorities, which, sure, he should have done anyway, but he broke the Hastert rule for the first time in decades.
