"Republicans in disarray..."
Republicans are disarray
Vote em off the island of misfit toys! Out!
The misfit toys were actually all about inclusivity so this isn’t a fair comparison
An engine of chaos. The shaman nailed that part of it at least...
Republicans are shambles.
Republican recursion :-)
I’m not the disarray, you’re the disarray!
…”and that’s bad news for Biden”
The number of articles that end in this phrase is exhausting. Why not report on the ACTUAL dysfunction in the Republican Party?
It's always projection.
They injected the parasitic MAGA into their veins for the sake of votes - That "high" was short lived and they are now becoming one of those walking-dead bugs, controlled by a parasite.
They were briefly unified still while under the Trump regime. Unfortunately for the party, his insistence on loyalty Oaths and other such vehicles for power consolidation drove serious divides amongst the various factions of the party. No longer was it simply a matter of selecting three issues to always move lockstep in terms of voting, rather half of their time was spent figuring out if they were on one of the secret blacklists or not, and doing everything to avoid getting on such a list. These divides keep compounding, but during that brief period of still Unified voting, they force the Democratic party's hand. Creating a unified front of just not MAGA.
Democrats still in fight plenty, but when presented with a mutually disagreeable enemy, it is human nature to circle the wagons
That's not really true, though. One of the most famous extended "events" in American political history is the realignment of the political parties due to the civil rights movement in the 1950s-60s. The Democratic Party split; the Republican Party, not so much.
It's going to be hard to top that, and the modern GOP just isn't there yet.
Are they more loyal to Putin than Trump? Mike Johnson went to Maralogo and got trump's support, didn't he? Please someone explain this to me.
Ironically the fact that this guy believes he's "Moses" probably means he does feel some obligation to do SOMETHING to lead people to the "promised land"
That is different than people like MTG who just want to "watch the world burn"
She doesn't care about the world burning. She cares about all eyes being on her regardless of what's happening.
Fair enough
I can’t figure out what MTG actually wants.
Trumps a complete narcissist out for himself. He wants money, and an easy life, and he wants everyone to think he’s great, and he wants to do whatever he wants all the time. He has no empathy or conscience, but paper thin skin. Simple.
Johnson is a religious freak, he wants to do whatever his wacko make believe interpretation of the bible says. Or what he thinks god personally told him to do over dinner last night. Basically control people (women especially) and make them all act like he thinks they should. He wants everything in order, clean, saintly and untarnished. This is the only way for guys like him and Pence. Again, simple.
You can do this with most of the GOP. Gaetz is a sleazebag he wants women, money, power and drugs. Basically a narcissist like Trump, except he doesn’t care if anyone likes him or not. For a lot of others its just about money.
MTG, I have no real idea. She is chaos. My guess is maybe she’s actually working for Putin, or blackmailed by him in some way? She’s a dangerous manchurian candidate? Or maybe she actually believes the conspiracies she spreads? Is she a true believer of Q-anon and the Jewish Space lasers? If so, she’s just really stupid? Just mentally ill? She’s a mystery. I think she’s stupid. But is she just a rogue idiot that found her way into congress or does she have a keeper holding her leash? Does she want attention? Does she just want chaos? Why? Does she think she’s a good person and she’s doing the right thing? Does she care about that? Does she want to be liked? Hated? Does she just want donor money? Her motivations are very unclear to me unlike the others.
She wants to be in office long enough to get federal retirement. She wants to be in office, but have it be such chaos about choosing new speakers that she can just sit there for months/years and absorb money without having to do any actual lawmaking.
Also she's lusting after Hunter Bidens massive crotch sausage and is mad she can never have it. That's why she keeps holding up massive posterboard sized pictures of it in the House. Over and over again.
Lol fair enough
Trump likes it when his pets fight among themselves. The winner gets a scrap from the table for proving to be the stronger.
They are loyal to Putin. They met in Mar-a-lago to coordinate what stupid theatrics to employ next to ensure that Ukraine aid doesn’t pass, and everyone gets even more frustrated and angry at each other so that no one can focus on how to solve anything. It’s more of the same chaos and distraction until the Democrats find a way to take over.
Trump is loyal to Putin and the House Republicans do his bidding.

Trump wants to be the one to win against Russia.
Same as the Border bill. Nothing wrong with it. But it wasn't going to have his signature.
Yes, he's that petty.
He gave Putin exactly what he wanted. Pulled out of Syria, divided NATO and said he believed his lies against his own security forces.
Trump's win will be ending the war by forcing Ukraine to cede half of its country. That isn't a win - that's surrendering.

Know what’s funny is I have always thought this guy looked like a Crank Yanker puppet. Something about his mouth
Never heard of Ruble Republican. Gotta remember that.
From Rolling Stone's Nikki McCann Ramirez:
Marjorie Taylor Greene has gained an ally in her crusade to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson from his position as head of the Republican caucus. On Tuesday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) announced that he has signed on to co-sponsor Greene’s motion to vacate against Johnson.
So just two this time.
Ok, so bring it to the floor you pussies.
Republican's have a single vote advantage in the house at the moment and if there's even one more disgruntled republican like the last two that resigned they'll lose the speaker.
And every time I bring this up someone always says "but the Dems will save Johnson"
Why? why would they do that? The house is already in chaos, it makes the republicans look bad, and they're already not getting a goddamn thing done so what exactly do they have to lose?
If there's a single vote lead and proof that the opposition is getting tired of their own parties shit, it would be stupid to pass up the chance to get a democrat in the speaker's office and actually get something done.
Nothing makes the Republicans look bad to Republican voters. Except having empathy, maybe.
You’re experiencing an emotion that is not hate or fear?!
Fucking pussy
Lust and greed?
Spot on
Why? why would they do that?
Ukraine. Democrats need to act like the adults because they (for the most part) genuinely want to govern in good faith and send aid to an ally who needs it.
I don't know if it's a good move politically, nor do I necessarily think they should go for it...but that's the likely reasoning if they do.
If Johnson wants the Democrats to save him, then he better get moving on that aid bill.
Johnson has said he'll do it, but words are cheap, especially Republican ones.
Johnson has said he'll do it, but words are cheap, especially Republican ones.
No doubt. Democrats saw this play out during McCarthy's speakership, so it's understandable if they decide not to trust Johnson.
Then Biden and Dem leadership in the House need to sit down with Mike Johnson and have a come-to-Jesus meeting.
You forward Ukraine aid, we help you keep your job.
Yeah. I suspect that's already in the works. Or it's not, and Mike really doesn't care if the Democrats help him or not.
God imagine another round of trying to get a new speaker, I swear CSPAN needs to start playing enter the gladiators when in session
On loop until a new speaker is elected. Gets louder with each failed vote
I’d be cautious asking Johnson for a meeting with that phrasing, he might have to report it to his son
I hate the fact I understand what you're referencing.
is it still a come to jesus moment whent the guy you are sitting down with called himself Moses?
Isn't Johnson the only thing holding back a vote on Ukraine aid? I seem to recall the votes are there, but the most extremist asshats in Republican party are preventing it with the threat of removing Johnson.
Am I missing something?
Isn't Johnson the only thing holding back a vote on Ukraine aid?
Yes.
and they won't join Dems on a discharge petition to pass the package because that would make Johnson look even weaker.
Well, look how it's going for them so far, they've got exactly jack shit for Ukraine so far so why would the status suddenly change now? They're getting nothing for Ukraine and they will continue to get nothing for Ukraine as long as Johnson has the gavel.
so why would the status suddenly change now?
Motion to vacate is a change in the status. Don't know if that's enough to get Ukraine aid moving. We'll see.
I could see Dems stepping up to save Johnson... If they worked with them to give them what they want. Kevin was all too quick to throw them under the bus and that's why he's not speaker anymore.
Kevin also didn't keep many of his promises he made to Republicans or Democrats. I think many on both sides were not too unhappy to see him ousted. The problem was that there was never a solid plan for what was to follow his removal.
A few democrats will absolutely vote to save Johnson. It’s a different situation than McCarthy, whom didn’t work with democrats at all. Keeping Johnson will allow them to negotiate to get something they want passed.
They’d better not save him unless he publicly recants on his BS about election integrity.
Why? why would they do that? The house is already in chaos, it makes the republicans look bad, and they're already not getting a goddamn thing done so what exactly do they have to lose?
So Ukraine doesn't fall.
Democrats want government, not chaos, and not to only "win." Several have already said they would support Johnson in the past, if he gets aid through.
So Ukraine doesn't fall.
They haven't gotten any aid for Ukraine so far, it's a weak argument because Johnson has been actively blocking Ukraine aid, he killed a border bill better than any offer they'll ever get again because Ukraine aid got tacked on.
Keeping him in power is hurting Ukraine, sure he can promise all he wants but promise in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up faster.
Democrats want government, not chaos
The house is already in chaos and achieving just about as much as they would if it were shut down, which is jack shit.
he killed a border bill better than any offer they'll ever get again because Ukraine aid got tacked on.
You mean the bill that died in the Senate? You are ascribing far too much power to Johnson, and focusing solely on him, at the exclusion of all other factors. Johnson is part of the problem, not the sole problem, and he's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is the banana set of rules the Republicans voted on for the House.
What would stop republicans from filing a motion to vacate every day of Jeffries’ hypothetical term?
Democrats changing the rules back so that it can't be brought up with just one single vote, like it was before the republicans fucked it up.
"but the Dems will save Johnson" Why? why would they do that?
Leverage. If he wants to stay in power, it's going to come with some massive strings.
He needs to deliver something before they save his ass, not after. Republican's aren't famous for paying their bills or delivering on promises.
Does anyone really care as no one in the Republican Party will get a single thing done in the house other than pushing back on anything of importance
I'm going to imagine that Zelenskyy very much does.
Would he get the help he needs if they weren't having these internal tussles? I'm not sure.
By all appearances, an absolute majority of Representatives, and certainly most of the Senate, are in favor. The problem really boils down to a dozen or so Representatives that are keen to cause the Speaker grief at every turn.
If the speaker would put a Ukraine aid bill up for a vote it would almost certainly pass with almost all Dems and a minority of republicans voting yes
That's not true. They will pass an ever-increasing military funding bill.
I didn't think it was possible for a guy to look even more generic than Mike Johnson, but I now stand corrected.
Seems to be a Christofascist thing. See: Mike Pence
Mike Pence doesn't look generic.
He looks fucking evil. First time i ever saw on TV I thought he looked a demon. He's always struck me as a cross between a "burn the witch' fanatic and a child molester.
My first thought on the pic was, "Who is this Wish.com-looking Ham Rove?"
He's Great Value Rand Paul.
Isn't Rand Paul Great Value Ron Paul? I checked BillTrack and Rand has passed only a handful of bills with most of them being honoring someone and one being an actual bill, out of the 112 he's introduced. Dude has been elected three times and never done anything of substance.
I meant in terms of looks
Lol fair point haha

You’re not wrong. It’s a historically inept congress. They’ve passed like 1/10th the amount of legislation as past ones.
Democrats should follow this strategy.
1: Promise to keep Johnson in exchange for the Ukraine military aid.
2: Pass the Ukraine military aid.
3: Vote to oust Johnson and engulf Republicans in another chaotic speaker race.
If we could get a no strings Ukraine deal out of him, I think it would be in our best interest to keep him as a pet, and let republicans just vote him out for being a good little woke Biden puppet.
We’re just not gonna win if he gets voted out, unless he also resigns.
But, he won’t be a puppet. At best, a convenience for getting something done. But, much more likely, it will require another event, exactly like this, further requiring Republicans not unify to oust him with a vote margin the Dems can’t overcome or Republicans just keep the House in a loop trying to oust Johnson and truly stopping everything.
But, I do understand the sentiment.
If he won’t be a good little lap dog, and refuses to bark when they say bark, he will get ousted by republicans in a heart beat with no problem. The best move here is tit for tat.
Being kept in power by democrats would make him totally hated by his party. I just hope he sees that it’s a no-win situation so he might as well pass Ukraine funding on his way out.
Nah. rule number one is you don't punish the turncoats that sells out to you. You keep them at arms length sure, but don't punish them. Makes it MUCH harder to seduce others to your side.
I mean - they don't have to punish Johnson to get what they want. The reality is I doubt any Republican is switching over to vote Hakeem as its political suicide for them. Forcing Johnson to bring Ukraine aid to keep him as speaker is beneficial. Ukraine aid gets passed while Johnson gets to keep being speaker.
Ultimately, MAGA will betray Johnson themselves and vote him out of office entirely because he will be another Liz Cheney to them. Remember - Liz Cheney voted more for Trump's policies than even Rand Paul did (94% to 74%) and shes called a democrat amongst MAGA over J6 and the impeachment.
Not to mention this will cause greater resentment amongst the freedom circus as they harass Johnson over it - which either leads to months of harassment hurting his political imagine amongst other Republicans or another ouster attempt with dems getting another deal from it.
Passing Ukraine aid for Johnson's speakership is really saying: "We will get Ukraine aid passed while MAGA will vote you out come next election cycle so you can keep your gavel till then".
That was the old way. In this day and age politicians want to be treated like shit. Exhibit A, the relationship between Trump and his employees (the GOP).
Looks at the hundreds, if not thousands, of people Trump has brought into his circle only to kick to the curb later
Looks at the hundreds, if not thousands, of people lined up to be brought into Trump's circle.
You sure about that?
The thing you're missing is that it's not really trump's circle. He was never the one in control; he's just the decoy being used as a distraction. Very close to being cast aside for outliving hits usefulness.
His usefulness has been gone for a while, they will hold onto him until the day he dies.
Hell yes.
A page from the old GOP handbook
Honestly you probably wouldn’t even have to do step 3, they would oust him for working with the Dems on their own
No. You can’t go back on promises like that. It ruins trust in leadership. Literally look what happened to McCarthy.
It doesn't make any sense to oust Johnson.
He delivered, belatedly, on the budget.
He seems to be delivering, painfully belatedly, on Ukraine.
Why would you want to make the definitely-not-Klannish wing of the GOP kingmakers again? Here, you have a chance to reward good behavior, seize power in the House from the far right, and even claim credit with the American people for getting something done and shutting up the far-right clown show.
Yeah, that's the problem with the Democrats, though... If they say they'll do something, they actually will follow through and do it, because they are pretending like rules matter these days. They're still trying to calmly play chess with an opponent that's flipped the board, shit in his own hand, and is currently hammering nails into the head of a baseball bat.
Na. Hold the line till deeper into campaign season. Show all the people suddenly paying attention to politics wtf these asshats are doing.
No. The United states, any democracy for that matter , need compromise/a somewhat functioning Congress. We need whatever lesser form of chaos is available.
For the record, Mike Johnson is pretty fucking far from being my ideal Speaker of the house. But the reality is that after evicting Kevin "Carpet" MCarthy, Mike "Moses" Johnson is STILL not extremist enough for Gaetz and co. Precisely because he's SOMEWHAT considering working with Democrats. If he's willing to work with the Democrats and actually respect his word, then the Dems need to respect their end too. Make some Republican consider that Democrats are worth working with.
Keep in mind : there will always be conservative oriented person. Just like there will always be liberal oriented person. What the US needs is to have a somewhat functioning conservative party, willing to cross the aisle. THAT is how you make ACTUAL deals. Even a massively popular POTUS like FDR made deals and tried to include the Republicans in his "New Deal coalition". And there's hardly a more progressive president than him. The enemy is not so much the GOP as this knuckle-dragging, shit-throwing MAGA that has completely taken over GOP and will destroy the US as long as they can be on top of the ashes and piss on Democrats. We need to neuter those fuckers. If Johnson respects his word, the Dems need to protect him to make the best of the situation.
More fundamentally, the enemy is Putin. This POS is a cancer to the world, doing everything he can to poison the West so that it collapses and he might restore his idealized middle age version of the world with Russia as the overlord. The current GOP are just useful idiots for him. Absolutely anything to burn that evil motherfucker down to the ground.
Democrats also need to remind Americans there are consequences when you vote - if you throw a temper-tantrum because you don't under economics and decide to give the Republican Party a majority in congress then don't be surprised that nothing get's done. This whole fiasco is caused by Americans voting to give Republicans a majority - the question is whether any lessons are learnt as a result.
Any democrat supporting such a plan would forever lose my vote.
Okay… how many times have we heard “I am not resigning” before a Resignation from a Republican?
BFOP. Bombthrowing Fucknuts On Parade. Too busy vogueing every fucking day to actually govern.
I picture the hands
He better hurray and get that Ukraine aid in place. Letting Russia win would be an awful legacy.
If Russia prevails and Ukraine falls because of our inaction, it will be a stain on American leadership for decades to come and will show us to be an unreliable, unfaithful ally (again). There is no way that Ukraine can hold out without this, and it's a situation that is becoming more precarious for them by the day.
He shoukd not put his job ahead of what Ukraine needs and especially because of what Greene wants.
He's really over a barrel on this. I sure as shit wouldn't want that guy's job.
If I lost my job so that Greene lost, I would sleep ok at night. It isn’t just a matter of the possibility that Russia wins this war but it also means that Russia wins the war here. The Cold War never ended for them.
Yeah, funny how everything they do plays right into Putin's hands, huh?
And funny how even GOP people are coming forward and saying that other House members are just vessels for Russian propaganda.
And the media would continue to give, at worst, equal reporting to a woman who believes that God dimmed the lights for four minutes over a very narrow band of the country as a sign of repentance and at the same time reporting that Joe Biden’s economy is amazing but why aren’t we talking about that?
Edit: For the most part, the eclipse covered Red states!
So, MTG found one Rep. dumber than her. Thats some solid leadership skills. /s
Mike Johnson resigns, not only as speaker, but from the house. Democrat gets elected as speaker.
Ukrainians really need ammo bad, like months ago. Specifically artillery. Our political dysfunction has real world consequences that are paid in blood.
The picture on the post made me think Mike Johnson had started gaining weight recently.
Side note - how does Massie manage to look both 15 and 55 at the same time?
Please oust him. I can't wait for Hakeem Jeffries speakership when one Republican goes absentee just because they're sick of the bullshit.
There is only one reason not to support Ukraine and that is to actively support Russia. No sane member of congress who isn't on the take would want Russia to win this war.
This is so counter to America's best interests that it can only be viewed as an act of treason.
Mike Johnson: "I'm not resigning."
So he's totally resigning, right?
It's baffling how incompetent these clowns are. Mike Johnson did the same thing Kevin McCarthy did which will be the exact same thing the next Republican speaker will do because they have to appeal to the entire spectrum of Republican voters not just MAGA such as purple-state politicians that have to play the moderate game to preserve their chances of victory.
But sure, lets do it about 6-7 months before an election to show the American public just how dysfunctional conservative leadership and government is. Would be lovely for Republicans who know they won't run or be re-elected again due to the MAGA takeover (like Liz Cheney) to go and deliberately vote in Hakeem Jeffries and immediately declaring themselves independent when the inevitable Republican retribution comes for them. If you're going out anyways, make the freedom caucus a living hell and show Americans just how dumb conservative leadership is.
Another speaker race would trigger more resignations and the Republican majority is already razor thin, they couldn't afford to lose anymore seats.
Imagine thinking these people can be trusted to run anything.
To those wondering what's really going on. It seems like there is momentum towards an agreement and funding of Ukraine. Certain individuals ousting Johnson and throwing the House back into chaos is probably the only way to further delay Ukraine aid at this point. Keep an eye on who wants to oust Johnson.
This is by far the least appealing photo of Mike Johnson i’ve ever seen.
I don't think the Republicans know who they want as the speaker. Maybe have one ready before taking down the current one.
Please. Don’t. Fight amongst yourselves…
Anyone else think Massie looks like a wet washcloth in zero gravity? He just looks like he’s perpetually in water, without being wet.
So let me get this straight. He has still never moved Ukraine aid and yet they still want him gone? Wow
He’s the latest high wire act in the Trump cult , aka Republican House caucus . He wants to aide Israel but not Ukraine . Trumpler calls the shots on these issues for his lackies . The bipartisan , Senate aide bill for both countries languishes due to the House fascist group . Mikey is on very thin ice and Ukraine is losing .
Massie? The guy whose Christmas card featured his family posing with automatic weapons?
Kentucky politicians are the absolute worst 🤮
I hope they can, that will force Johnson to pick what’s more important, Ukraine or remaining the speaker
While I laugh at the republicans continued inability to govern anything more complicated than a lemonade stand, I fucking hate Thomas Massie with a passion. My disdain for this shit stain of a human being knows no limit. Infinitely grateful to have had to opportunity to move out of this little fucks district.
I look forward to the next article in a few hours…
“Mike Johnson To Step Down As Speaker of The House After Republican Pressure To Resign Mounts”
GOP is a clown show, with the King clown leading them.
Marjorie Toilet Greeen and Thomas Messy's shit show is favoring Vladimir Poutine's ass.
I think Democrats should keep him - slim chance they'll get Jeffries in the position and Johnson is better than many other options. Jim Jordan for example might not bring anything to a vote at all (and complain about people not voting all the way). Johnson's being willing to bring Ukraine support up for vote now is better than nothing and suggests to me he is starting to understand he's not ever going to please the extremists in his party. So, keep him on and work with him. I wish they'd done so with McCarthy, though I don't blame the Dems at all for this circus.
I don't think the chances of getting speaker Jeffries is as low as you think if Johnson gets booted.
We've already seen a few Republicans resign dwindling down their razor thin margin to like a 2 vote margin. And a couple of those Republicans that resigned? Cited the chaos, and said more agree with them, and are considering resigning too.
It's possible another round of speaker votes with all the backroom dealings and threats by the Chaos Caucus, gets just another couple Republicans to resign or vote Jeffries. Then speaker Jeffries just immediately starts a vote to get rid of that dumb chaos cactus rule to be able to easily remove a speaker? And then the rest of this Congress could actually sail somewhat smoothly.
Advice to Dems…When your opponents plan to do something stupid, do nothing to stop them from doing so.
The GOP is such a diaster in the house, it's pretty funny
As I understand it a second Republican was not needed. Didn’t they change the rules in a way that allowed for a single member of their caucus to force a vote? Is it not that MTG did not really push it through, because she doesn’t really want the vote?
So as I understand it this is another round of posturing and attention seeking.
Dude looks like who Sublime was singing about in “Date Rape.”
And he screamed! But the guards paid no attention to his cries!!!
Yes, The GOP needs MAGA Mike to not certify the 2024 pres election and throw the election to himself. Thus MAGA Mike becomes an un-elected President of the United States of America as his god intended.
I saw that headline earlier today and didn’t think too much of it until I saw Thomas Massey face. I am from Northern Kentucky and has not seen him do anything worthwhile
Just refer to them all as PSBs. Putin Sugar Babies. They like to call Vladdy, Daddy.
Oh this guy looks like a pedo
Fucking guy looks like a Mike Myers character.
Putins brilliance is only matched by the self serving incompetent stupidity of Republicans. This clown show should not be allowed to weigh in on anything at this point.
If Come on, dude, I triple-dog dare you were a person.
Has Mike Johnson gained weight?
Johnson should force the removal of the disruptors and agent of orange/Putin.
Ain’t your choice buddy
Didn't they have a tough time finding a house speaker to begin with? Why do they want this jag off out now?
Kevin McCarthy said the exact same thing.
In other news. Mike Johnson is changing his last name because the name Johnson conjures up impure thoughts.
No no no GQP.
He met with dear leader and THEN you still are against him.
GQP even cant do cult of personality right
I'm glad to know that my district's representative is also been fed from the teet of Moscow.....and my aunt taught him in school...
There's something extra special about seeing Mike Johnson's failure as speaker. What would have otherwise been an unremarkable, but lasting tenure a generation ago, he's outed for not meeting the needs of the more erratic party. Just six months into the role after comparing himself to Moses, he's groveling to Trump of all people to cling to the position.
Do not underestimate Rep. Massie. Unlike most Republicans, he is no dumbass. Dude is an MIT graduate.
The world needs decisive legislative action by the US, not another leadership fight.
We need a helping hand here, pretty please!
Someone needs to explain to Mike that they are voting him out. His resignation would be an unnecessary formality. For the rest of us, it matters not. They don’t do anything when he’s there anyway.
Second? I thought it only took one.
Wow isn't this the same dude that was on the drain the swamp documentary?
Isn’t that a picture of Masse not Johnson?
Massie sucks so fucking much.
If I'm the democrats I engineer it to where the votes of the squad save mike Johnson
Do it. Make a vote happen
Do or a privileged motion. Both this guy and Marge have the authority to do it, but they just don’t. They are not serious people.
"Putin's the boss and Putin wants me to stay!"
Mike Johnson (probably)
in my ideal world, Ukraine aid passes and Johnson gets ousted and the house descends into chaos again proving the R's aren't capable doing their jobs.
George Santos vibes
Never thought I’d be rooting for MJ but here I am.
lol - Johnson went to Trump to get himself saved - but nope. MTG wants a Johnson.
😭 please go for it, flip the house 🥹
