This story is 10 days old. The only reason I'm belatedly posting it now is because another FRer yesterday published a Guardian story with the headline, "Democrats vow to block Marjorie Taylor Greene effort to remove House speaker," which is utterly irrelevant since it refers to the speakership contest BACK LAST APRIL.

Well, unfortunately I think Republicans had better vote Johnson in as Speaker, least they allow Democrats to make hay of it to stop Trump from taking office.

[wildcard_redneck]

Any Republican Speaker that needs communist Democratic Party votes to assume office is illegitimate. Johnson should have not been such a Uniparty squish. He has only himself to blame.

[fwdude]

Democrats cheated enough in the election to minimized the Republicans’ margin in the House. This was the reason.

In a fair election Republicans would be up 15 seats.

So who do the No vote in Congress purpose to elect instead? I been looking for who they are purposing as “Speaker in Waiting” and there is no buzz at all about who would be the replacement

[mass55th]

Black RATS can’t make their mind up to vote for the white guy or not.

[FreedomPoster]

Jeffries, AKA Dollar Store Obama.

Anybody whose name when spoken sounds like the noise you make when you are clearing your throat doesn’t exactly get my vote of confidence.

[cowboyusa]

Shut up Dollar Store Obama you mumbling ghetto thug moron.

[VictoryGal]

I’m torn.

On the one hand Johnson is a duplicitous simp who doesn’t deserve to be Speaker.

On the other hand, if the Speaker vote is a long, protracted fight, Congress will not be able to certify the President’s election.

We know the democrats are dirty. We know they have secrets. We know they are being blackmailed. We know they fear exposure.

What we don't know is if any of the republicans are clean enough and have spine enough to tap the dirty democrats on the shoulder and tell them to get in line.

So there's the question, Trump. Are you going to tap The People's enemies on the shoulders and tell them to get in line? Or are you going to use your significant media power to beat up on Chip Roy who is doing what We the People asked for and really just wants time to read the bills, smaller paged bills, and single purpose bills without the democrat-hand-out pork attachments?

[Political Junkie Too]

Peaceful transfer of power.

Jeffries' comments aren't going to encourage Republicans to work with him. I hope Johnson learned the lesson of the frog and the scorpion and what happens when someone tries to work with Democrats "in good faith."

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries shortly to become Speaker Hakeem Jeffries.

Unless the Rs get their collective heads out of their yknowhats

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Hakeem should resign, and return home to pick cotton with Kunta Kinte.

[Gene Eric]

too bad the Rats stole so many Congressional seats right before our eyes with the many weeks of after-election counting
