The speaker expressed his caution when walking down stairs, emphasizing the importance of avoiding falls, referencing past presidents who have stumbled. He then contrasted his approach with that of a former president, whom he criticized but acknowledged for his quick descent down stairs. The speaker imitated the former president’s stair-walking style and shared how he would never adopt such a dangerous practice. Despite the unnecessary comments about the former president, it appears he may have some musical talent.

Mike Johnson Snaps as Shutdown Arguments Repeatedly Crumble on Air
It seems Mike Johnson is having a rough go of it. The House Speaker, it appears, is finding his arguments for a government shutdown aren’t holding up under scrutiny, and the pressure is clearly getting to him. You know things are bad when even Fox News starts pushing back on your claims – it really highlights the crumbling foundation of his talking points.
This whole situation is exposing a weakness, isn’t it? The bedrock of a lot of conservative stances is faith and pre-fabricated talking points. When you scratch beneath the surface, the whole structure tends to collapse. It’s like their beliefs haven’t been intellectually processed, so they crumble when challenged. It’s not a strong base to build a political argument on.
Let’s just stop for a moment and consider the fact that Mike Johnson allegedly doesn’t even have a bank account. No bank account at all. That’s wild. No bank account. No disclosure possible, because there’s nothing to disclose. And we just let that slide. If the Epstein files were released, he wouldn’t be in this position.
Many are declaring Mike Johnson the worst Speaker of the House ever. Some are pointing to the fact that the Speaker of the House may have been aiding and protecting pedophiles. It’s not a good look and it’s hard to imagine what could possibly excuse such behavior. Can you imagine the reaction of someone who claims to be religious if they knew that lying and bearing false witness were a central part of their agenda?
Take the whole healthcare debate, for example. Johnson’s claims about healthcare for undocumented immigrants keep getting shot down. The assertion that healthcare is going to undocumented immigrants is just not true. It’s against federal law. The facts don’t align with the argument.
The response is often to “agree to disagree,” but it’s a pretty weak approach when the core premise is demonstrably false. It makes you wonder: if Democrats had the votes to shut down the government, would we be reading the Epstein files?
Some are saying that Mike Johnson gives off “little dick energy” or is a “little weasel”. Even the media is finally calling him out on the outlandish lies. You can see how the American voter is being taken for a ride. It’s Johnson’s fault, plain and simple. Even with control of every branch of the government, Republicans can’t seem to do the job they’re supposed to do. They can’t be boring, they can’t keep their heads down, and they can’t focus on making life better for ordinary Americans. Instead, they’re obsessed with elevating their leader and passing legislation that benefits the wealthy. It’s a betrayal.
Even Fox News seems to understand that shutting down the government is never a good strategy for Republicans. It appears that little Christian man lies a lot. The fact is, they can’t keep the country running. It’s time to get your act together. Their reasoning for cutting healthcare is a lie, and reporters are finally calling them on it.
“During an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Johnson was brutally fact-checked on his outlandish claims about the Democratic proposal to extend tax credits for the Affordable Care Act that were set to expire at the end of the year.” The truth is, undocumented immigrants are not eligible for those tax credits. An estimated 5.1 million Americans could lose their insurance by 2034 if the ACA funding expires at the end of the year.
Johnson, it seems, is in over his head. He’s the meek type, in way over his head, like Jerry Lundegaard in the movie “Fargo”. He’s lying and lying until he can turn it into a supposed truth.
