Mike Johnson refuses to open the House. Refuses to do oversight. Refuses to defend the Constitutional rights that only protect so long as they are enforced. Refuses to stand up to child predators. So we organized our own hearing in Chicago yesterday. youtu.be/2ihL3DpXj2A

And if you’re objecting to this on the grounds that I accused Trump of being a child predator… well, you can choose to follow Mike Johnsons example and protect child predators too. Or you could insist on the release of the Epstein files that might clear his name.

Maybe the release of the Epstein files will explain why this corroboration of the prior which also alleges a the rape of a 12 year old girl by Trump is somehow not as bad as it looks. courthousenews.com/wp-content/

Maybe the release of the Epstein files, which presumably include this picture will turn out to be a picture of a puppy on a beach that only looked like Trump with topless teenagers and a stain on his pants if you hold it upside down and squint your eyes just right. youtube.com/shorts/dJ_4xk6HepQ

Maybe Mike Johnson, who was - I’m not making this up - the Dean of a law school named after a child rapist - has had a midlife crisis and now really wants to stand up for victims of child traffickers. apnews.com/article/paul-pressl

Maybe when Mike Johnson says he’s nervous about releasing unredacted versions of the Epstein files because of the effect it might have on victims he isn’t saying that he believes Donald Trump to be said victim in need of protection. youtube.com/watch?v=tVaPSz8i9Nk

Or maybe not.

But here’s what I know: Mike Johnson isn’t doing a goddamned thing to protect children who are being abducted off the streets by a White House who knows this sanctimonious, cowardly man would rather shred the Constitution than stand up for the American people.

@SeanCasten maybe Mike Johnson is Speaker of the House, and his role in the Congress is larger than an obsession with this one guy.

Maybe he's just not as tunnel focused on your thing; maybe his job is larger than that.

It is.

Maybe the sniveling sonofabitch needs to DO his fucking job, then, instead of shutting down the House to avoid swearing in a new Representative from AZ who will provide the one signature necessary to bring RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES to a vote.

Maybe he should stop lying to cover for the felon's stupidity, ignorance, hate, racism, misogyny, ableism, greed, and apathy.

He is doing his job. The members of the House don't want to be in session right now because of what's happening in the Senate, so Johnson's job is to reflect what the representatives want to do.

This is literally him doing his job. I think a lot of people are confused about what his job is, it is to represent the will of the chamber, and that's exactly what he's doing here.

Regardless of your opinion or my opinion, his job is to do what our elected representatives want done. They don't want to be in session, they want the Senate to figure its stuff out, so Johnson is bound by his job to keep them out of session for the moment so the Senate will figure its stuff out.
