The same reason they’re still investigating Joe for things on Videotape from eight years ago.
They love Joe, and they are addicted to the Spending.

A handful of House Democrats say they’d step in to help Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) keep his gavel in the face of a potential conservative revolt — but it wouldn’t come free.
Democrats willing to consider the matter said Johnson would first have to forge an agreement with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) ensuring Democrats had a greater voice in the legislative process. In that case, they’d be willing to provide the votes to keep the Speaker in power.
“Just like I told McCarthy: Talk to Hakeem, and there are some of us that can support you,” said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), referring to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who was booted from his leadership post last year at the hands of disgruntled conservatives.
“I’ll say the same thing [to Johnson].”…
…“We wouldn’t be offering it as an act of charity,” Kildee continued. “We would say, ‘Look, if you need Democrats to govern, then you’re going to have to take Democratic input.’”…

A Deal with the Devil.
Crooked, Communist, Bastards...
dims do not care about anything except for power.
As far as I am concerned, the DNC are the terrorist party.They terrorize everything this country stands for. Never negotiate with terrorists. We are being played by both political parties.
You’re watching the GOP die a slow death.
>> demonic minds of some Democrats
and #ing RINOs
“...this idea is bubbling around in the devious and demonic minds of some Democrats.”
If Johnson agrees to submit and comply, I guess his Biblical world view goes out the window and he wants to play footsie with the devil.
America needs a new Republican Party. Perhaps Trump can renovate the old one.
Let’s hope he doesn’t have a framed photo of Mitch the Turtle on his desk at home.
“Reaching across the aisle” always mean the good guys lose to the Dems.
After the budget deal I have zero faith in either party doing the right thing for the USA.
They’re simply a den of thieves.
They’re already dead. Gutless.
In short, Luke 4:6, the temptation of Christ:
And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
Boot him out and keep doing it one after another until we the people win the chair. Not one more dime until THEY finally get it right.
Some Democrats know that Hakeem is an idiot firebrand and would hurt the party in the election.
Didn’t he get the position with the help of dems, or at least no outcry?
We should have been suspect then. He’s already being a RINO and making deals with the devil.
They’re already dead. Gutless.
Just STOP IT!
Give the guy a chance. Herding cats is a very tough feat to accomplish.
He is the Speaker of the “HOUSE”, not the “Republican” House, the WHOLE House.
Sure Republicans have a majority, (WAIT, I haven’t checked the resignation/retirement list yet TODAY).
Getting rid of Mike Johnson would be DISASTROUS! We had trouble finding ANYONE who would take the job just a few weeks ago. WHO ya gonna get NOW?
UNITE behind Mike Johnson! PERIOD! FULL STOP!
WINTER is coming, so is the election!
AFTER the election, the direction this country is heading will be clear (depending on which party wins).
Y’all can wait THAT long! Put the “long knives” AWAY! (for now)
