Johnson: Motion to Vacate ‘Harmed this Office,’ But We Lack the Votes to Change the Rules for Now
Breitbart ^ | 18 Apr 2024 | Bradley Jaye

lamenting he does not have the votes to change the rules at this time.

Johnson’s carefully worded statement stopped short of outright calling for a rule change that could save his gavel, but he made clear he opposed the current rules and understands “the importance of that idea” of changing them.

Rep. Thomas Massie pointed out Johnson’s misleading statement, responding to it on social media.

“The Speaker tried to change the rules to eliminate the motion to vacate but he didn’t have the votes today,” Massie posted on X.

Look at the devil horns literally protruding on Strozk’s forehead. I’ve seen pictures showing those same horns were on the foreheads of everyone sitting behind him too.

I don’t think Johnson is that possessed with evil, but this is conclusive proof he needs to go as soon as possible. Yet those that removed McCarthy are nowhere to be found, when this seems a lot worse.

The motion to vacate is great! These guys are Repukes. Id say if you lose a specific % there should be an ability to vacate the chair.

uplift individuals and communities on a global scale to participate in and contribute to a world free of aspheterism

I had to look that one up:

aspheterism (æsˈfɛtəˌrɪzəm)
n (Sociology)
The teaching that all property should be in common ownership
and no individual should benefit from personal possession

Yeah, I agree. Let's advocate to be free of such malarky - it only benefits con-artists and charlatans.

I wonder if it is too late to run someone against him in the upcoming election... Even as an independent candidate. I don’t care if the rat wins, it would be great if this guy is defeated and sent home.

I tried but could not send a message to Mike Johnson via his House web page.

The zip code provision screens me out since I am not in his district.

My position is that Mr. Johnson should resign immediately.

Crazy thing to say. Hakeem is much worse than Johnson. Remember the J6 "committee"?

Johnson turned out to be just another POS pretending to be a Conservative.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) made history Thursday night just before midnight by essentially surrendering Republican majority control to Democrats.

For the first time in recorded history — since the House began keeping records — the House Rules Committee relied on minority party votes to overcome objections from the majority and advance a rule bill to the House floor.

The committee voted nine to three, with all four Democrats on the committee voting with five Republicans to move a rule to the House floor, which, if passed with Democrat support as expected, would allow votes on Johnson’s foreign aid package, including a bill that includes tens of billions to fund Ukraine.

Conservative Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX), Thomas Massie (R-KY), and Ralph Norman (R-SC) voted no.

Thank goodness I had armor plating surgically weaved onto my back.

I’d be dead otherwise with aholes like Johnson.
