    Former President Donald Trump gave House Speaker Mike Johnson a political lifeline Friday amid discontent with his leadership among conservatives in the House, saying, “I stand with the speaker, we’ve had a very good relationship."

    And he owns the House of Representatives. Way to go Republicans.

    Yep, after the humiliation of Johnson on camera yesterday, he's now officially Trump's little b***h! The way these people pander is contra their oath of office.

    I don't know how those people can look at themselves in the mirror after publicly playing Trump's doormat. Plus, they know that Trump will dump them in a millisecond, should it become expedient to him. The kind of things people do for power....

    The need to be in the proximity of what they percieve as power (to help only themselves). They are self serving and should never take a public service "job" with an oath they wipe their arses with.

    Johnson knows if he doesn't stay in line the Donald will tell Marge to pull the trigger.

    I seriously don't understand what the problem with this is. What am I missing?

    Apparently a lot. An unelected citizen can control Congress.

    When was the last a single unelected citizen controlled Congress or is this a troll post?

    No, they haven't ... always. That's something the Koch Machine really got going and tRaitor tRump has turned into an art form.

    Unelected citizen? He's the Republican nominee. He's getting the same deference from the elected branch that unelected Biden and unelected Obama got before they were elected President, but after they were the de facto nominee.

    It's bizarre that you look at this as some sort of special occurrence that has NEVER happened before.

    I once was silly enough to ask that and was quickly told, "a brain," but I'd never ever say so in your case Mike.

    The problem is that Humpty**** owns this bitch now, well and truly, from his socks to his jocks and locks.

    Did you know this is Obama's third term? He owns all of them. Black Jesus to leftists. But remember, Obama's failures are why Trump was elected in 2016. Obama was a failure.

    The Communists are in the denial phase right now. Once they get to anger it will get really ugly.

    Oh, do you remember nominees Obama, Hillary, Biden.. killing a bill that the Senate Dems were ready to vote for just so it could help them with their campaign? Because I do not remember. So, therefore, this is just another false equivalency that are a dime a dozen in Trump world to justify Trump's abhorrent behavior.

    I came across a typically Aussie saying today that instantly had me thinking of the American GOP

    “A conga line of suck holes”

    IMO, he's trying to trigger the person he quoted. MAGA embrace Trump's bottomlessness, he reinforces their "preconceived notions", imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

    It seems obvious they are already in the incoherent anger stage.

    More than one thing can be true at once. I'm sure Trump wanted the bill killed, but so did almost all conservatives. I wanted the bill killed for reasons that had nothing to do with Trump. Sorry, the bill, once it's details were known, had no chance.

    If you want an immigration bill, HR2.

    All of your rationalizations aside, Trump has the unprecedented ability for a candidate to dismiss the House Speaker if he is "disloyal to the party" and he is crazy/dumb enough to do it.

    And both are owned by AIPAC and Tel Aviv, along with many (a majority) in Congress.
