Of course it serves Trump: he doesn’t want a working government, as that slows down his looting of the US.

It’s not a coup, it’s a heist.

Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

Hey, how about I be Speaker?? I apparently am as qualified as the current Speaker.

I don’t ever have to know anything, and I don’t even have to show up for work!! I still get paid even if I shut down the government, and I get affordable health insurance!

Pretty damn good deal!
