But it seems he pulled a fast one on the Republicans and Trump.


Every single one of the Freedom Caucus or “MAGA Republicans” in Congress new Mike Johnson very well before he was voted Speaker.

So is your position that they should’ve kept McCarthy?

Recall if you will that none of the more conservative options had the votes to get elected.

If he remains in office this passes anyways so worst case it appears to be no worse than it would’ve been to begin with.

The move to remove McCarthy hasn’t helped…but it hasn’t hurt.


You sure about that?

They need to be purged from the party immediately. We need names.


Well, he was voted Speaker by every single House Republican and came with Trump’s "strong recommendation" (though not an endorsement technically. I guess he's learning) so I'd start there.

Can he get the votes?

If not, who is someone who can actually get the votes who would be preferred over Mike Johnson?

I think we need to purge the ones that still support him knowing what he has done. They are more of an issue then people who supported him over MCCarthy .McCarthy wouldn’t have done any better.

So a tweeter named "Catturd" has become MAGAs arbitrator of Christian authenticity.

I support Donald Trump but I also support he makes bad choices.

He should turn personnel decisions over to someone else.

So your second attempt at this.


The only person responsible for Johnson is the man, Mike Johnson.


The fact that we are actively trying to weed these people out is great. Either get on board or we will remove you from office.

So the plan is to elevate them one by one to speaker and then remove them from office?

Congrats on Democrat rule for a decade or so.

This board loved the appointment. A few were even calling Johnson presidential material.

We have to. We've done nothing but lose since 2016. We need to stop being mentally weak and start developing some mental toughness. If Republicans get exposed as RINO's after portraying themselves as big conservatives, then they're out.

The same applies to various "Republican" politicians and "Republican" influencers if November is a blue wave:

-Kari Lake-Abrams
-The entire Trump family
-Jack Posobiec
-Charlie Kirk
-Steve Bannon
-Catturd
-Anyone involved with TP USA


And then primary the following pukes:

-Lindsey Graham
-JD Vance
-Bobo the clown
-MTG
-Every member of the "Florida sucks" caucus
-Nancy Mace
-Elise Stefanik

It's a big election. Their futures are on the line. If November is a disaster, they all need to be purged for the role they played in it.
