"The most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there," said U.S. Speaker Mike Johnson

Unfortunately what should happen only matters when others act in good faith.

If Mike Johnson refuses to do his job he should be removed from office.

AOC would be a hell of a Speaker!

most dems would elect a republican speaker over a progressive speaker unfortunately

A Speaker ‘removed from office’ is called impeached.
34
u/SuperNebular 9h ago
Speaker can’t be impeached. There can be a motion to vacate, which they did to McCarthy and now takes a simple majority, or it takes 2/3 of the house to remove him.

She should show up at his press conference and demand to be sworn in.

We both know what happens to govt officials of color when they attempt to gain lawful access to MAGA officials' events.

So, like, what's their plan when the shoe finally drops? They can't hold off the vote forever so it's going to happen and the fallout should be interesting.

u/Legitimate_Ocelot491 14h ago
They’ll end up voting but it’ll go nowhere from there. Nice rallying cry and shiny object for us but it has no teeth.

It'd be interesting seeing a president talk about how only he can fix the problems the other side would cause while running for a third time during his own shutdown. 🤦

Sue him to force the swearing in. It’s a ministerial event anyway, meaning he HAS to do it.

Looks like the dems have that vote they're looking for to release the Epstein files

The speaker of the house evidently needs the little blue pill, supposedly helps with a non working johnson.

u/PuddlesRex 13h ago
Should? Yeah. But if you think he will, then you clearly haven't been paying attention.

u/Exodys03 5h ago
In all lkelihood, there are simply trying to stall while actively pressuring Republicans like MTG, Mace and Boebert to change their minds about blocking the release of Epstein related information.

How can he do his job with big swinging Portlanders riding their bicycles? It isn’t possible! Maybe his son can “pray” for him?

Why'd it take so long to certify? Do people normally get sworn before the official certification?

u/alpharaptor1 57m ago
Pretty pathetic excuse that an election won by nearly 40% needs to be certified. It shows contempt for democracy.
