Showing Original Post only (View all)I am not and never have been a fan of Facebook [View all]
but there is a person there named Tonnocus McClain who posted a multi-page argument that Mike Johnson has no intention of reconvening the House of Representatives. I've read his argument via a cobbled together cut and pasted then printed document. I understand Facebook has taken the post down more than once. It is pretty convincing. If someone here has a working link to the document, please post it. Here is a brief quote from it:
By weaponizing time, Johnson found that the soft underbelly of the republic isn't ideology or partisanship-it's process. Through the manipulation of something as ordinary as the congressional calendar, the United States has stumbled into the unacknowledged suspension of its own legislative branch.
Scary stuff.
