James Michael Johnson, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is fanatically devoted to Donald Trump and expresses his adoration by endeavoring to give Trump everything he wants, despite never having heard a word Trump has written or said or any specific account of anything Trump has done.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

I finally had I unfollow the post everything Trump says guy. On the one hand it's good to stay informed of Trump's actual word when the media softens it. On the other seeing lie after lie is not healthy for me rn.

I haven't seen the video, but usually those collars have a progression: a tone, a vibration, and the shock. You don't hear anything when it shocks to my knowledge. You can hear when its the vibration akin to your phone vibrating.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?
