Agreed. I want to believe that the back-and-forth a couple of weeks ago was Trump once again playing 5D chess, w/ Johnson needing to take all the heat in order to expose the back-room deals cut by Schumer and the rest. Time will tell.
But I didnt have any doubts to begin with. Johnsons meetings with Trump at Mar a Lago, his presence in the suite at the Army-Navy game and his spot in the photo of Trump and his consiglieres eating McDonalds, was enough for me.
I won't even put the Christian fish on the back of my car so that when I inevitably catch a whiff of road rage and flip someone off, the whole of Christianity won't take a hypocrite hit.
Of course I'd have to flip them off with my left hand because that Christian fish is tattooed on my right wrist.
Very wise Amber; as we all have our down days and best not to give people an excuse to blame "Christians" as hypocrites. I do my best to always remind myself that I have that on the back of my bumper but of course not perfect by any stretch.
KEK… had a couple of young fellas in their late 20’s flip me off one time a couple of years back.. as I’ve gotten older, I usually can let it roll off but guess it wasn’t a usual day.. When they parked their car I moved it ahead a couple of feet with the front of my pickup, got out and in their face, and gave them a very un-Christian Tongue Lashing..
They apologized so it didn’t go any farther, got in my rig and drove off…
Remembered then I had a rear license plate cover that said “Fight like a real man.. Get on your knees and pray”… I didn’t go to guns like I would have 20 years ago, but still Kinda messed up my Testimony that day !!!🥴🥴🥴
KEK!!!! Years ago I had two teens try to play chicken with me, I watched them laugh their fool heads off when they turned off just before hitting me. I got the license plate and ran it when I got home. I thought the name sounded familiar. The driver was the son of one of our church pastors who had just gotten his license 2 days before. And when I told Daddy about it via email he was receptive at first, "why yes I do have that kind of car, why?" And then crickets.
Exactly. Make damned sure Trump is seated as President, and then the changes can begin to roll. It is not time just yet to push for everything we want. That will start after the inauguration.
When Massie put up his poll on whether Johnson should be re-elected speaker, I said then he needed a third choice, which was I support whatever Trump wants. Why second guess whatever strategy he has? Trolls and never Trumpers are working hard on this one, and I say this as no fan whatsoever of Johnson.
There is NO way we’d get a Jeffries Speaker when we have a voting majority. That’s silly. Any Republican that votes for a Dem speaker would have holy hell to pay.
It would be rational and realistic to consider that you and I probably know less than 25% of the reality that goes on in that world, in the political sphere and in Wash DC. All we get to see is the surface narratives, those that come through on the propaganda media, alt media and social media. Unless you are an intern over there at DC, in one of the parties or even in the office of an independent.
In which case, you probably know up to 28% of what actually goes on.
It makes no sense to gainsay the person you put there to represent your interests when you have only a fraction of the information they have, and they have mountains more information (and experience) than you.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion (i.e. to Trump), but a modicum of situational awareness seems likely to inspire reflection and a big swing towards 'benefit of the doubt', when I "doubt".
Because a newly-elected Speaker administers the oath of office to newly elected (and reelected) House members. The worry here is no speaker, no house members. You know - the people (along with senators) that count and object to the electoral votes. Without them, the votes can't be certified by cameltoe.
Here is an article that claims it is possible for either the clerk of the house to administer the oaths, or get the republicans to elect a temporary speaker for x days to get through J6 - then elect a permanent speaker:
Remember - one of our favorite moron RINO senators (Susan Collins) worked with Manchin to create a new law that changes the ability to object to electoral votes, requiring 20% of each house to agree. The bill did in fact pass and is a law.
In addition to Senators Collins, Manchin, the senators 22 Senators co-sponsoring the bill include: Rob Portman (R-OH), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mark Warner (D-VA), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Ben Cardin (D-MD), Todd Young (R-IN), Chris Coons (D-DE), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), John Hickenlooper (D-CO), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Pat Toomey (R-PA), and Maggie Hassan (D-NH).
Sticky. Rather a long message Anons. Some decent numbers and Capital Letters in this post. Any Q-Clues perhaps? 😉 I have a feeling our best of the best Autists will find something.
As long as Johnson helps drain the cesspit swamp, then fine. I'm all for it. But if it's even another 6 months of the usual Repub b.s. after Trump's inaugurated, then we need to demand Johnson's immediate removal.
I think it would be a good thing if each of us let our congressmen and senators know how we want them to vote. That is how WE THE PEOPLE put the pressure on. It is easier to do than you think.

Is he talking to the traitorous GOP who demonstrated thru the Clinton, Bush, O’Bummer and FJB admins their absolute back-stabbing hatred for the people of their party… especially MAGA?? Hope the patriots are in charge…
I'm trusting the lord first, plan second. I'm done being proven stupid with time. Who knows, perhaps Grassley can get in? Then shuts down the government an installs a completely different cabinet for Trump?
It doesn’t. It does say appear to be weak aka divided when you are strong. MAGA is strong right now, so much so, that Trump has something he didn’t in 2016- moral authority.
If Johnson is fine by Trump there's little point in overthinking it.
Agreed. I want to believe that the back-and-forth a couple of weeks ago was Trump once again playing 5D chess, w/ Johnson needing to take all the heat in order to expose the back-room deals cut by Schumer and the rest. Time will tell.
Without a doubt.
But I didnt have any doubts to begin with. Johnsons meetings with Trump at Mar a Lago, his presence in the suite at the Army-Navy game and his spot in the photo of Trump and his consiglieres eating McDonalds, was enough for me.
I don’t trust him at all to do the right thing. If he does it will be because Trump has leverage over him.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5,6
Amen, ironically I have Proverbs 3:5 on the back of my car
Romans 12:12 here
I won't even put the Christian fish on the back of my car so that when I inevitably catch a whiff of road rage and flip someone off, the whole of Christianity won't take a hypocrite hit.
Of course I'd have to flip them off with my left hand because that Christian fish is tattooed on my right wrist.
Now that's some fine tactical planning and execution right there.

...good on you!
they can always let Tromp get in and inaugurated then vacate the chair and toss his ass out
Exactly. Make damned sure Trump is seated as President, and then the changes can begin to roll. It is not time just yet to push for everything we want. That will start after the inauguration.
Sounds like a plan to me.
Johnson has done exactly what Trump wanted him to do. Trump endorsement proves it.
When Massie put up his poll on whether Johnson should be re-elected speaker, I said then he needed a third choice, which was I support whatever Trump wants. Why second guess whatever strategy he has? Trolls and never Trumpers are working hard on this one, and I say this as no fan whatsoever of Johnson.
Everyone should give this time to play out.
Gotta listen to the boss on this one.
The boss is wrong on this one.

This is assuming Mike Johnson will actually certify the election. Would be an epic rug pull if he doesn't.
Yeah, not happy about what Speaker Johnson did to Brandon Herrera.
I thought the VP certified the results
Wait that's a good point...why the fuck do we need the speaker then???

Notice Grassley was a sponsor! If he is elected Senate President Pro Tempore and nothing is certified by 1/20, he will become Acting President.
Great information. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks. I like learning new (or relearning old) things. This one was a little of both for me.
🤷♀️ I thought the VP presided over the certification. Pence did.
This is the end of any conversation on who the next Speaker should be.
The way I see it is you get pictures coming out of Trump force 1 with DJT, Musk and Johnson giving the thumbs up laughing. Thats good enough for me!
Sticky. Rather a long message Anons. Some decent numbers and Capital Letters in this post. Any Q-Clues perhaps? 😉 I have a feeling our best of the best Autists will find something.
Totally agree... Johnson was playing his role in the exposure of the demonrats and RHINOS. Some of you need to look at the big picture.
As long as Johnson helps drain the cesspit swamp, then fine. I'm all for it. But if it's even another 6 months of the usual Repub b.s. after Trump's inaugurated, then we need to demand Johnson's immediate removal.

What the fuck Trump? Johnson is a total snake. We don’t want him.
I understand the reason for it but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Johnson is a scum bucket, a liar, and I'm fairly certain he's a Democrat.
I'm trusting the lord first, plan second. I'm done being proven stupid with time. Who knows, perhaps Grassley can get in? Then shuts down the government an installs a completely different cabinet for Trump?
F U too????...damn those are strong words to our Pres.
Read Sun Tzu.
You have no clue about the Art of War, do ya?
Trump and Team know what they are doing. Shut yer yap.
"Shut yer yap" translates to German as halt[s for das] Maul .
It doesn’t. It does say appear to be weak aka divided when you are strong. MAGA is strong right now, so much so, that Trump has something he didn’t in 2016- moral authority.
You, faggot, have no clue what is going on.
What are you on about fella?
