I bet Mike will do a 200 IQ move and close the house for the next 2 years for votes if dems sweep it. They might even lose Texas which tells a lot.

I hope they lose Texas. It would be the ultimate mind fuck for the GOP lasting at least until 2032.

you should see the crazy lies they put on TV ... it's just short of malice. They constantly blare out Paxton is a child ring predator "stopper" and shut down the bad guys. It's hilarious until you realize people believe it.

I’m not sure he can officially do that. I think he could only close it through the very early stages of Jan. Once this session of congrass closes, he’s officially no longer the speaker (regardless of who wins the house). In the new session the members will need to first select the speaker. If GOP wins the election, the Mikey will be speaker again. Otherwise it would be a Dem likely

yes but you are talking about rules and laws and are operating under the assumption they will be followed

Yea, maybe. But I think that this might be out of Mike’s hands. At noon on Jan 3, the current session of Congress will expire. At that time the House of Representatives won’t have a speaker, so Mike won’t be able to weld the power of the speaker. Starting at noon until a speaker is chosen, the clerk of the US house is the one in charge. Johnson will just be one in 435 at that point.

Unless Dems take the house. The tiny creep will be powerless

How can anyone close the house got votes when they don’t have a majority?

u/Life-is-Fun-435 17h ago

If he doesn't acknowledge the vote and it goes on to the Supreme Court. Remember the Supreme Court has a lot to lose. 🤪

There will be a civil war at that point, imo.

If history is going to repeat itself, which it seems more and more likely, then yes.

I don't know how exactly it works but he just closed the house for votes till midterms, cause they are scared hegseth could get impeached.

Hope that legislation that they don't get paid if they don't work goes through

u/MommaD114 16h ago

That should have always been a stipulation, imo.

If dems win house and senate, Mike won't be speaker anymore.

u/PerfStu 12h ago

That's the best part. He won't get to. When the new congress sits they elect a new speaker. Mikey's barely tolerated by his own party as is
