"You're going to see a new form of government." - Mike Johnson

[PSPS]

WASHINGTON — U.S. House Republicans late Tuesday voted to tap Louisiana’s Mike Johnson as speaker after the GOP nominee from earlier in the day was tanked. Johnson, 51, is the fourth Republican nominee attempting to break the deadlock in the lower chamber that has been leaderless and frozen for three weeks. He is the second to hail from Louisiana.

“Democracy is messy sometimes,” Johnson said at a jubilant press conference following his victory. “We’re going to serve the people of this country. You’re going to see a new form of government.”

Republicans in the room cheered his name, “Mike, Mike, Mike,” as they gathered behind him in a show of unity.

Chilling coming from a trump goon.

1. Very weird.

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. And you'll see it all die in the Democratic-controlled Senate, Mikey.

He's such an asshole.

[Deuxcents]

3. I am counting on that

[Rebl2]

17. Absolutely

[Matthew28]

4. I am seeing a month or two shutdown starting later next month

because they're probably going to cut ssi, medicare and attack LGBT rights big time. This is what the bastards kicked McCarthy out for because he wouldn't do it.

I am really hoping enough people vote against this crap next year.

[getagrip_already]

33. Month? Well, sure, if a month has 180 days.....

These guys don't ever want the government to reopen under anything but their terms.

No ss, no medicare/medicaid, no VA, no nato, no abortion, no gay anything, no doj investigations prosecutions into tiny or j6.

And a couple of dozen other poison pills shutting down huge swaths of the govt.

They won't budge. It's their time.

[Carlitos Brigante]

5. There's nothing "new" about theocracy , fucking dipshit! nt

[AntiFascist]

7. "A new form of government"

If theocrats take control of government then we will definitely be headed toward global WWIII, not to mention the domestic Christo-Fascist/white supremacist shift that seems to be happening amongst all Republicans.

[getagrip_already]

38. What pootie doesnt get..

Is that if chistofascisys rise and take power, they will try to achieve global domination.

Remember Hitler turning on Stalin?

That will happen again, with devastating effects since these assholes believe God is on their side.

The Russians and Chinese talk a good game, but they are realists. They don't want to fie because they don't believe in an afterlife (with some exceptions).

But our loons, it is core to who they are. They are the chosen ones and the sooner everyone dies the better.

That is who potty is enabling. He won't be able to control shit if they get real power.

8. lol.

sure, mike.

[Skittles]

9. he means serving the white rich people

nothing new coming from a repuke

[Chautauquas]

36. Exactly right

Serving the rich white people at the expense of everybody who isn't in that category.

[calimary]

10. God help us all...

[NotHardly]

41. He's dead ... and there are no Calvary coming ...

[Comfortably_Numb]

11. Mike the mini-magat with the oversized Christo-fascist hate disease. Jebus we're fucked.

A ridiculously short, bespectacled, fundamentalist bible thumping, election denying fascist magat turd wrapped in a necrotic foreskin.
That’s as disgusting a description as I can come up with but it still feels like it comes up short. Fucking clown.

13. There is no bottom to the Republican pit.

[czarjak]

24. Bottomless Barrels?

[Wonder Why]

14. Dictatorship

[dalton99a]

15. A beautiful form of government

[Ray Bruns]

27. That's a keeper.

[ananda]

16. Just substitute the word "no" for "new" and that will be it.

...

[Happy Hoosier]

18. Don't get too bothered....

The GQP is a giant shit show, and they'll continue their streak of feckless dumbfuckery.... and this dude will be another MAGAt fuckstick on the discard pile.

[bif]

19. A form we haven't seen since 1930's Germany!

[hunter]

20. It'll be a republican christofascist flash mob circle jerk.

“Democracy is messy sometimes,” Johnson said at a jubilant press conference following his victory.

[OMGWTF]

31. Democracy is messy ... wile I am murdering it.

[Wounded Bear]

21. "...and you're not going to like it." Finished the quote for y'all...nt

[Johonny]

22. Same old shit, different shoveler

[Autumn]

23. As long as Democrats kill his new form of government in the Senate with NO deals, he can do what ever

the fuck he wants to do. Fuck that sleazy mother fucker.

[spanone]

25. A tribe of idiots.

[Windicator]

26. KristoFascism, Inc. (R)

[SKKY]

29. And he went on to say...

..."We're not going to make the same mistakes they made in the Republic of Gilead. We'll take the good things they did, perfect them, but also address the failings." I mean, that's probably what he was thinking.

[Beachnutt]

30. President Biden holds the mighty pen

Executive orders AND
VETO

[dchill]

32. Mike. Read the Beatitudes.

While you're at it, try to learn something about Christ.

Oh - and go to hell.

[BlueIdaho]

34. The long entrenched rules of the House and Senate

Make that an impossibility. Virtually every GQP House leader in recent memory has promised radical change and when they can’t deliver - they become the target of the crazies in Congress. How long will it be before Matt Gaetz is calling for his head? Not long me thinks…

[DallasNE]

35. Our Constitution Defines Our Form Of Government

Not some wet behind the ears Speaker who swears to uphold the Constitution but attempts to subvert it at every turn. He doesn’t sound like he has a mental foundation to govern. And then what?

[ismnotwasm]

37. lol. So....he's an idiot?

I take it he’s going to hold his hateful line and not get anything done? He’s the epitome of the RW, ignorant and hateful

[republianmushroom]

39. Yup, And your not going to like it.

[PortTack]

40. Your form of government...nope. All your shit is DOA in the senate...

[The Unmitigated Gall]

42. Fascism isn't new, slippery fuck.

[area51]

43. The nazi party will *never* serve the ppl of this country;

they only serve the wealthiest 1%.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

44. Theocracies are not new

Move to Saudi Arabia or Iran if that's what you want Mike.

[Joinfortmill]

45. It keeps getting worse.

8 years of this shit and counting

[Freethinker65]

46. Let the GOP House vote to codify blastocyst personhood, cuts to all social programs, abolishment of dept of education...

Etc. Get these MAGA House member votes on record.

Watch those bills die in the Senate and/or get vetoed by Biden.

Refusing to fund the government will do real economic damage, and cause lots of suffering to many, including poor Trump supporters and wealthy Trump supporters with market investments.

[eShirl]

47. Theocracies are nothing new, Michael.
