“He’s Cooked”: Republicans Say This Is Mike Johnson’s Last Rodeo

House Republicans know Mike Johnson can’t hold on for much longer as speaker.

So, how long will Johnson keep the speakership after he passes a clean CR with Dem support?

My guess would be, like before, the Dems won't support a removal and he's got enough support in his own party to survive.......until the repubs are voted out in Nov and the new Congress is seated. Then they'll pick a new minority leader.

Should public office be a volunteer position in government? You don't get a paycheck. You just get housing (an apartment for congressional leaders or the White House for POTUS), government health insurance, and a trust fund upon completion of a term.

Maybe she attended a few and knows more about them than we do.

She is such an embarrassment and is too stupid to understand that.

If they keep this up, they won't win a presidency for a long time, and justifiably so.
