Look, I’m only human and therefore enjoy the delicious taste of the salty tears of my opponents (athletic, poker, or political) — especially when those tears are served with a side of irony. That’s why I don’t feel TOO bad for spending the morning browsing Twitter and reading the left screeching about today’s election of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House.
(I highlighted only “big” accounts with lots of likes/retweets — with the exception of Mary Trump, who needs no introduction.)
But who IS Mike Johnson? Well first, he’s obviously Hitler — continuing the GOP’s “amazing” streak of nominating Hitler in every election since the end of WWII. (Before the start of WWII, the left spoke highly of Hitler.)
See, the election of Little Hitler means that Biden and Harris will be ASSASSINATED to save Trump and Putin! A “good Republican” like Kevin McCarthy being in the role of speaker was the only thing holding back those MAGA assassins, who are now free to kill the President and Vice President!
🙄
Some complaints actually sound like advocacy to me (this is how you know I’m a ‘terrorist’):
And while Democrats spent weeks mocking Jim Jordan for “not having the votes”, 0-for-19 Speaker Candidate Hakeem Jefferies explains why Mike Johnson is such a terrible choice:
But this important story isn’t just about Mike Johnson and the GOP — this is about HOW ALL THE BAD PEOPLE NOW WIN!
“Institutionalist, Responsible, Moderate Republicans lose” by voting for their preferred candidate in an open session, as per the rules of our Republic. It almost makes me wonder if this whole “defending democracy” shtick is just a motto — like “serve and protect.”
Some people are optimistic the election of Johnson will simply shift control back to the Democrats (I believe the kids call this ‘copium’):
And some people don’t know the meaning of the word “fascists” (or “in charge”, for that matter).
EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE AND UNFAIR! THE EXTREMISTS ARE TAKING OVER! TRUMP IS WINNING!
You have to wonder if Democrats are regretting ousting McCarthy in the first place. (Nah, that would take a micro-second of self-reflection.)
So while I don’t know what kind of Speaker Johnson will be (and I’m certainly not hanging my hopes on him), he’s already provided an entire morning of entertainment — that’s far better than what we got out of McCarthy. Now, if we can get those 1/6 tapes released………….

Editing in a video a new Speaker Johnson:
Also, it looks the Adam Schiff part of the story got deleted as I was moving stuff around. Here’s his insane Tweet:
A second edit to add this “archived” video from this July in which Johnson is questioning FBI Director Chris Wray:
Edited to add a video of new Speaker Johnson, and re-adding a Schiff tweet that was erroneously deleted during original editing.
Second edit to add an 'old' video I was reminded of when watching the Greenwald video posted below.
Hey, I've always wondered what the 'T' stands for in 'MAGAT'.
Can anyone fill me in?
Mary?
