What DOES Mike Johnson know?

He doesn't know any details about Trump wanting $230M compensation from the DOJ, knows nothing about the Epstein files, doesn't know anything about the meme coin deal or the crypto dinner, hasn't followed the twists and turns of the Qatari jet, hasn't looked into the details of the RSC budget, hadn't heard about the pardoned J6 rioter who threatened Hakeem Jeffries, doesn't know details about Trump considering not paying furloughed workers, knows nothing about the Argentina bailout... etc, etc, etc.

If he's so limited in knowledge of what's going on in the government he's supposed to be responsible for, he should resign.

3. He doesn't know much by his own admission. What are we paying him for? Are his constituents happy?

Does he care? He’s the perfect little man to do the dirty work for his boss, at any cost to the country, his reputation, or his soul. Spineless and worthless to the taxpayers but a loyal jester in TSF’s circus

4. Well, he at least knows something about the 22nd amendment.

"Johnson doesn't see a path for a third Trump term."


Lawrence O'Donnell says Johnson wants everyone to quit talking about a third Trump term because it will increase the likelihood of Dems regaining control of the House.
