Democrats only needed to flip three seats to gain the majority in the House — they picked up 44 in a massive GOP shellacking
House Speaker Mike Johnson has blasted voters for making the “wrong choice” on Election Day last week.
Donald Trump, Johnson and other Republican leaders were tasked with keeping the majority in Congress, but despite their best efforts, Democrats swept the midterms in a defeat so crushing that it was dubbed a blue tsunami.
Johnson shared regret for the GOP’s shellacking, but not the blame. Instead, the Republican leader pinned it on the Americans who voted against his party on Tuesday.
When asked by CNN’s Manu Raju on Capitol Hill Monday whether Trump needs to “course correct” after the midterm losses, Johnson said, “I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job. We have an incredible record of the first two years of his term, and I expect more success in the days ahead.”
What an interesting thing to say, for someone whose job is literally to represent the voters and enact the will of the people. He is literally a Congressional Representative.
“I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job. We have an incredible record of the first two years of his term, and I expect more success in the days ahead.”
Johnson expects SO much success, in fact, that he is stepping down from leadership in the new Congress altogether, and refused the minority leader position that was offered him.
Fuck you Mike. You conceded one of the three branches of Governmental power to the President. You are one of the biggest failures of Congressman that has ever served.
Can I blast Mike’s dad for making the wrong decision in not pulling out?
Fuck you in the neck Mikey.
Yea. They could have stormed the Capitol instead. That would have been a choice.
Hey Mike, sit down and shut up. The grownups are talking.
Hahahahaha, god I love Stephen Colbert’s deadpan humor.
Oh wait that’s Mike Johnson?
To be able to say that seriously is an admission that you do not believe in democracy.
So true.
Except for not at all?
Democracy is not a system of truth seeking. It’s a compromise.
LOL, I love it when these dingles actually say out loud such whoppers like donnie “is doing so many good things for the American people” or “we had so much work to do to undo all the damage that Biden and the Democrat (sic) Party did” or whatever the fuck.
Such unbelievably blatant liars.
With an added dose of condescension about how people don’t even appreciate all the good they are doing, how could this happen?
These assholes completely pooched the economy, gave even more money away to the obscenely wealthy parasitic class, and then set up a bomb to have shit really hit the fan for the 99% in Jan 2027 and have the balls to sit there and whine that people didn’t vote for them.
Did Mike Johnson even say thank you?!?!?
piss off Mikey, don’t you have to monitor your sons porn habits?
Mike can chortle my balls
Shut up bitch
This wasn’t the voters fault, Mike.
Hell if I were to pin it on anyone it’s probably be Zelensky. And I didn’t even say thank you once.
Man I’d love to kick the shit out of this assshole.
In terms of most punchable I’d put Stephen Miller as #1 and Elon as #2. He’s a strong contender for #3
I’d throw Trump in there, but somehow it’d be both elder and child abuse.
I think your #1 and 2 are definitely in the right spots. The earth and everyone on it would be better off if those 2 were gone.
I just….i really need Stephen miller to know what it feels like to have his skull bones broken. His rib cage too.
“Torture is a celebration of life and human dignity” - Stephen Miller
He 100% is into that kind of thing. You don’t turn out like this without playing up the hateable punchable dork asshole that enjoys being beat up and mocked as his kink. That schmarmy demeanor says it all.
You have a point.
Give him the 'ol Fight Club face-rearangement!
