We are doomed 😢

[@Jack-yw7bq]

No we aren’t

[@Bat_Boy]

*The Trouble with the USA* We are a “flawed democracy” on the Democracy Index because of 1) the electoral college 2) plurality voting 3) the Senate 4) gerrymandering via the House 5) money in politics (aka, legalized corruption; Citizens United, lobbyists, etc)

[@buttercup3518]

You feel that way because you seem to have voted for Biden. Trump is on the way...

0:01 Louisiana in Control of the Nation's Purse❌😬 This is so wrongggggggg💸💸💸💸❌

[@TheGreatBrandino12]

I love how they paint Mike Johnson’s previous votes as bad things when they were all good. Mike Johnson we are with you!

[@soviet9366]

Sounds like America will continue to decend into clownish chaos 😒. Thoughts and prayers from your friends in Europe 🇪🇺

[@liviadix1433]

Not interested . I hope he’s not as bad that I fear.

[@user-be4cr8cx1f]

This man is so in experience... gave him the position as a last resort bc it's been 3 weeks without a speaker an there coming up on a government shut down....they say what u want to hear just to get in...they were desperate the Rep. He didn't want to give aid to Ukraine.. let's see what he does now...

[@sharonwashington7243]

That’s what happens when you have God on your side.

[@user-be4cr8cx1f]

This vote was fixed....

[@ronnierogers5999]

Now Matt Gates needs to stay seated and shutup.

[@matthewsmith5374]

I think they could get 2/3rds majority to expel Matt Gaetz by now.

[@digitalsoldier-1742]

In their shared committees, I have always seen Johnson sitting to the high right of Jordan, and his questions to seek the truth were an echo of everything Jordan sought to know. I even tossed his name into the ring before Jordan accepted a nomination. Here's to Johnson being anything other than the next McCarthy. The Republic cannot afford another.

[@joycesmith8120]

Hope he is a leader and not a follower

[@buttercup3518]

I get Catholic Priest vibes. I approve.

46 about to play ooe' boy like a fiddle, wet behind the ears

[@williamseale971]

Thank God hopefully we go back to single line spending bills and no more omibus crap.

[@beorbeorian150]

Legistrative paralysis 😅😅😅😅😅😅 these people.

[@thebigeazye3000]

That was easy

[@stevechance150]

Is that sarcasm? We should stop using sarcasm, because it really annoys dimwitted conservatives. They don't get sarcasm, but they do get annoyed that we are making a joke that they can't understand.

[@marypentecost1296]

I think your bias is beyond sad. Face The Nation, really?

[@yvonneplant9434]

Face the Nation is one of the oldest shows on tv. Meet the Press is the oldest. MtP started on radio. It's okay to not agree with the content. But it's a historic part of American history.

[@marypentecost1296]

@@yvonneplant9434 I know how important Face The Nation is. That's why blatant bias is So Upsetting. Just Report, Inform, Perspectives NOT inferred innuendo. You ie FTN demean themselves, their legacy, and make themselves irrelevant. Why watch because they used to be relevant. Edward Morrow and Walter Cronkite are spinning in their graves.

[@user-te6xy7sf6o]

Trump ❤✝️👍

[@stephensundayjr9991]

Americans want term limits and single Subject bills, unlike the Media and Mccarthy, Gaetz kept his word to keep pushing for that. And we are over 30trillion is in debt, we need someone who doesn't wanna spend and print, spend and print

[@matthewwilliams1709]

We don’t need someone who is completely comfortable disenfranchising US voters
