Speaker vs. Head of Lettuce
From being "Dean" of a failed before it started law school to questions about his financial reporting statements or his "adopted" son the questions keep piling up.
The more we're learning about this fellow the more it's feeling like the lettuce just might have a chance.

His whole financial disclosure thing is really sounding kinda shady.

Hard to believe that the collective issues highlighted in this thread have no pulse with the MSM. Not sure what that means across the board.

While on The Speaker thread-
"MIKE JOHNSON is speaker of the House because KEVIN McCARTHYpushed through a “clean” continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown and was ousted by right-wingers for it.
Forty days later, and Johnson is in the same spot. The McCarthy CR runs out on Friday night and Johnson has vowed to avoid a government shutdown.
His solution?
A clean CR.
Well, technically, it’s one clean CR with two timelines, a parliamentary gimmick that Johnson is hoping is enough to get him past the Friday shutdown deadline.
Now, the question for Johnson is whether that’s enough to convince the most rebellious House Republicans to offer him any more leeway than they granted McCarthy.
Johnson has no legislative experience at this level, has never chaired a committee and comes from the party’s anti-leadership wing that made governing so difficult for his predecessors. (Remember: In late September he voted against the McCarthy CR, along with 89 other Republicans.)
But all of that was a feature, not a bug, during the Speaker Battle Royale of October, when his rare combination of right-wing credentials (Johnson is a 2020 election denier) and pissing off the fewest number of colleagues (not serving in top posts means never having to tell colleagues no) were the essential criteria."
Late Friday we will see how this all played out.

Salon.com has an article/interview with Katherine Stewart who a few years ago wrote the excellent book "The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism". The interview is a good read regarding Mr. Johnson and his ideology/history of working to further the aims of Christian Nationalists. Recommended reading for anyone that may not already have some familiarity with Johnson and his crowds motives/ambitions in turning the US into a theocracy.

Hard to believe Johnson continues to get a free pass in the MSM.

Let's see the traction...timing right before Thanksgiving is a negative move.

Could be another Speaker fight. Might need to get a new head of lettuce.

MTG is in her own world while angling to be CHEETO's VP. I would be embarrassed if I had to acknowledge her as my representative.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
