Speaker Johnson is the epitome of a spineless toady.
MrLurid on
The election fuckery will be extreme.
I have no doubt he will go full Republican and do everything he can to hand it to Trump, hoping the Compromised Court will “fix” it.

We are already in a civil war with these assholes.

Which is why we need to flush the Republican toilet.

Isn’t this only applicable if republicans maintain control of the house?
VinnieBagaDoughnuts on
I may be mistaken but isn’t the new congress sworn in before the election gets certified? So if dems take the house Jeffries will be speaker for the certification not Johnson.
black641 on
Johnson caved over the budget because the idea of a shut-down government was too much pressure for him. He’s as weak as any other Republican Speaker, and when it comes down to it, he’ll take the easy was out and save his own skin. He’ll certify the election when Harris wins. I guarantee it.

Can already see him being escorted out of the building for refusing to certify it. Election interference is a federal crime right?

I agree with her.
What are we doing about it?
StanDaMan1 on
The good news is that, by January 6th of this coming year, it’s very likely that we’ll have a Democratic House again, and we’ll still have Harris as VP.

Crap like this is why I really miss doing heroin. Yeah it ruined my life for awhile and almost killed me multiple times, but I could just ignore life on it like I want to do now. Weed just doesn’t cut it with the sheer insanity and hypocrisy I confront on a daily basis. Rant over.

fun times ahead if they try to install orange Shitler on the country.

It’s more of a fact that the Republicans are engaging and will continue to engage in election fraud until this thing is over.
Republicans haven’t won the popular vote in 2 decades. They know they can’t win it and the only advantage the have is to continue their ELECTION FRAUD agenda.
You aren’t voting Republican, you are voting for ELECTION FRAUD

Republican cowards think their treason doesn’t have consequences. It does.

Put him in the same spot as Pence and watch him cry like a baby
titanfan694 on
He literally wrote the opinion in the lawsuit on why they shouldn’t certify the last one. He is there for a reason

Buckle up, kids, because the post-election is going to be a shit show on a scale we can’t imagine.

If he doesn’t, he needs to be put in handcuffs.

The vice president presides over the certification. The speaker plays no role. So I’m really not sure what all the fuss is about.
PsychLegalMind on
Neither him nor the current majority in the GOP House is worthy of any trust [much less faith] when the choice is Trump vs upholding the Election Results. They will all bow down to Trump and his assertion that he won again, [just like he did in 2021.] The man cannot accept a loss, he has yet to accept he lost 4 years ago.
This time around if he loses again one thing is different. The power of the White House is with the Democrats. They must take any and all action to prevent any wrongdoing.

It’s going to be a Supreme Court Decision. Gonna be 2000 all over again.

We 100% need to be prepared for the Republican party rejecting this election and attempting to seize the White House.

I mean, duh. The real question is what response are they planning for that inevitability?
IdahoMTman222 on
Hell he won’t even act for the hurricane victims. He sure won’t certify the votes.

I hope the Democrats are prepared for this fuckery.

There’s a possibility Mike Johnson won’t be Speaker of the House at that point, so hopefully it doesn’t come close to that

All the more reason why the Democrats need to win the house

So what’s the consequence, if any, for a scenario where President Biden, given total immunity by SCOTUS, facilitates the Constitution’s peaceful transition of power, swearing in the winner, Kamala Harris, as President, if the Speaker refuses to certify the election?
Polite_lyreal on
Kamala also has to certify the results. But then it goes to the Supreme Court. That could be how they plan to coup. But now Biden has unilateral immunity… maybe he would use it? He could decide to have the military protect him against Trump. This is bad.
NotOnHerb5 on
It’s fixing to be the year 2000 all over again. I guarantee it. I just hope we don’t take it lying down nor will Kamala.
Flashy_Watercress398 on
Doesn’t the vice president certify?
Also, there’s no way to predict that Johnson will even retain the office of Speaker. The new congress is sworn in on January 5, right? And a Speaker is elected (or re-elected) by the majority party.
Unless I’m completely misremembering my civics class?
MoltresRising on
Then I guess we get either 4 more years of Biden or we get to see Biden flex those Executive Branch powers and make Mike Johnson abide by the law.
FanDry5374 on
At which point Biden should have him arrested for sedition.
EarthDwellant on
We will be heading to DC if that is the case. There will be at least 10 million strong and we will follow the laws!
1877KlownsForKids on
That’s why we need to flip the House so the Speaker isn’t a crazy person. They new House seats January 3rd, President certifies the 20th.
Operation-FuturePuss on
How many Trump campaign managers, lawyers and cronies will get convicted this time around? My guess is triple digits.
alabasterskim on
There’s a real chance Harris wins, but Rs hold the House, and certify Trump as the president. By just discounting a handful of EVs, they’ll be able to force the tiebreaker that gets decided overwhelmingly by Rs.
Nodebunny on
What do you do when officials do not carry out their official duties??
ColorMeSchocked on
We do not either. We also don’t have faith the GoP states will honor this election correctly.

They will only certified if it’s such a blowout that there is no possible way to ratfuck it. So vote like your freedom depends on it.
