Speakership

[Neveragain]

In his acceptance speech for the speaker position in October, Johnson said he believed God had placed him in his new position of power..




He gave more detail about his divine appointment on November 28 in a closed speech to Christian legislators. He believed the speech was not being recorded -- a foolish assumption these days. Rolling Stone was one of the first news sources to report on the speech. I imagine it will be everywhere by the end of today..




Johnson needs to prove it. If God really asked him to be the new Moses, instead of Johnson having delusions about his self-importance, then he will be able to turn a staff into a snake. If he doesn't have a staff, since they're not as popular as they used to be, he can use the flagpole rioters beat the cop with.

Rolling Stone died when Dr. Hunter S, Thompson left the publication.

Evangelical extremists are goofy fucks, there's nothing unconstitutional about being a goofy fuck.

You're still free to cut off your cock at 18, we will be here to defend your right to do that. Maybe you can turn your severed cock into a sausage. Goofy fuck.

Is The Rolling Stone considered journalism? I thought that ship had sailed when they glorified the Boston bombers.

It's journalism if the primary ingredient in your diet is soy.

I'd just note that for a lot of Christians, prayer and listening to their inner voice while they 'speak to God' about their burdens is a very important part of his face. Yeah he may be hamming it up a bit in sharing the details about his prayer to drum up Conservative support, but I wouldn't call them delusions. Call it projected faith.

As Republicans make plans to vote out their current speaker, kingslayer Matt Gaetz has a suggestion for the replacement..

Representative Matt Gaetz floated the prospect on Thursday that Representative Lauren Boebert could be better suited to serve as House speaker than current Speaker Mike Johnson who continues facing outrage from conservatives over his support for Ukraine aid.

Boebert is a dumb ho and shouldn't even be in Congress. She's a Corrie Bush equivalent. Or an AOC, or any of the squad.

[Gelston]

Boebart is being shit on by other Republicans and has no say over anything. She is an idiot.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Wednesday she’ll force a vote next week on whether to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), an extraordinary move highlighting the internal turmoil in the GOP.

But it’s also a move that is all but certain to fail after Democratic leaders said they would vote to protect the Speaker from her coup attempt.

Forcing a vote on the motion to vacate resolution — which Greene filed against Johnson more than a month ago — will compel the chamber to act on the measure within two legislative days.

It's on! Does Greene have what it takes to replicate the Gaetz maneuver?

It's on! Does Greene have what it takes to replicate the Gaetz maneuver?

The Dems will come to Johnson's aid this time like they should have done for McCarthy.

They don't want to take a chance on having a real Republican voted in... they get everything they want currently.
