'The math is not good': Mike Johnson's tenure as House Speaker in doubt

[@russianbluecat6865]

No matter how bad the next MAGA speaker could be, Democrats should NOT help Mike Johnston retain his position as speaker. He has shown how easily he will betray any bipartisan agreement, even those he put his stamp on.

[@richardincm]

I'm not sure that he Did betray the bipartisan-agreement, it was more that his own party wouldn't support him, when so-ordered by Musk & Trump ? With almost a hung-Congress, it's a bit of a poisoned-chalice, to be Speaker. As this clip said.

[@cydoman8014]

There is a material point that all Americans have a big stake in right now. It's about how unfair it is for an elected Representative or Senator to do their job as if all or some part of his or her Constituents can be ignored - written out of the discussion - whenever that elected official is doing his or her job. This is a corrupted form of Representation. What is acceptable, fair, honest, Constitutional Representation in the House and in the Senate? How can a Constituent know, find out about, analyze and respond to their Representative in the House and Senators in the Senate when each is performing their "core" job functions and their "para-core" job functions both of which impact constituents lives and expectations? How often do constituents fill out a form judging how well their elected folks are doing in reflecting the representational wishes of each constituent eligible to weigh in? How can we - as the owners of our government, as the financial supporters of our government, as the defenders of our Constitution which we established as the written body of information defining the authorities by which our Representatives and Senators are given the power to act in our name - how can we take control so the satisfaction we must feel in the way elected officials discharge their duties underpinning their right to be in the House and Senate are in fact truely representing what Constituents were promised and are expecting to get? In a nation which is established on the principle of electing specific men and women to represent us, why are so many in elected positions acting as if, talking as if, marking up laws as if, debating as if, holding committees as if, voting as if they are representing their Constituents when it is obvious they are only representing a political ideology? If an entire district or State voted for a particular political ideology, that and only that could be called a landslide for that ideology. It cannot be considered a landslide for a political ideology until every person eligible to weigh in had agreed that political ideology was in fact, identical to that person's ideology. So why do we allow an elected person to discharge representation acting only as a vote for an ideologically driven law? If Representation using a democracratic model - a model based on the people being the source of authority and not a 1) monarchy (king) 2) theocracy (priest) 3) managed economy (sovietism, communism) and all the other isms - if the people really are the owners of this Representational Republic, why oh why do we have a two party system which pits the people in one State against their own citizens, and citizens of another State against other citizens in three neighboring States? Congress is constantly forced to trash can effective legislation to satisfy a small cabal's political wishes. This is not true Representation. This is hijacked Representation to promote the aims of some who must keep hiding their influence machinations. The People have been hoodwinked into believing a competition for dominance will produce the best government for a democracy. This is The Big Lie, born from the urge for control, the goal of sustainable, enduring dominance espoused by the Republican Party and Karl Rove, advisor to George Bush II, both of whom lied us into a war in Iraq (WMD anyone) and ushered us into the Great Recession (think Bernie Madoff and the great SEC scandal for starters).

In New York it's seventeen. In Florida it's eighteen. If you cross the border it's sixteen in Georgia and Alabama. So if Gaetz (or anyone) stood five inches to the north or west, their actions would have been okay-"legal." The questions is, "What it law"? How can Action "A" be allowed on that piece of land yet not allowed on the very piece next to it? Humans can be so foolish-so often.
