This column belongs in the New York Times so more readers can be reached about the rotten politicians in the GOP. I am so tired of these weasels getting paid to undermine the United States in their positions in Congress and the House. Mary, you did a wonderful with the story exposing Mike Johnson!

They really need to get rid of this guy. Can you imagine that ukraine's future depends on this moron, white Christian nationalist and trump sycophant... Something needs to be done.

This is one thing I’d like to see hounded on MSM. Remember, Johnson has no bank accounts or credit cards, etc. Does he pay all his bills in cash? Where the hell does he keep his $$?!?

The situation in Ukraine represents an existential threat to the national security of the United States..Period. Full Stop. Biden must circumnavigate Johnson and take the money from somewhere else and give Ukraine what they need..By preventing the U.S. from helping an ally from the unprovoked aggression of an adversary, Johnson is providing aid and comfort to our enemy..TAKE HIM INTO CUSTODY FOR TREASON AND GIVE UKRAINE WHAT THEY NEED!!

More importantly this shows why the plan was ALWAYS to tank McCarthy. He was always just a placeholder. They only ever pretended he might not be to deflect suspicion.

I thought it was odd when they publicly installed him with that provision that he could be sacked at any time. There was no reason to be public about that unless they knew upfront they intended to invoke it.

That's why it went to 15 votes. They were giving him a mein of gross incompetence and had to appear to desperately accept him so that no one would question his later dismissal.

And Mike Johnson got in right away. No questions asked. My, how convenient.

Mary, you're becoming an indispensable voice for truth and Democracy. Can I suggest that you include links to Facebook, X, Instagram in your messages. Way more people need to hear your voice. Please let us help spread your words.

At least three things we can count on from our House of "Representatives" until January.

1. Continued Continuing Resolutions

2. ZERO dollars for Ukraine

3. Johnson asking for Border Security, and the rejecting it when it's handed to him.

My knowledge of Russian history is limited but it certainly appears that the KGB/FSB has pulled off the most effective, successfully executed op of all time.

Thank you Mary for this superb reporting about Mike Johnson. Taking money from Russians is obscene, and his acts need to be pulled open so everyone can see his subversive intentions. He needs to be removed from the Speaker position and censured. As all the facts come forth so should whatever action is needed. We must demonstrate moral courage and ethics in everything we do.
