By most accounts, Speaker Mike Johnson inherited a House Republican majority in disarray after the sudden ouster of his predecessor last month.

But as Johnson, R-La., tries to rebuild that slim majority, he’s fast running into the same hard-right factions and divisions that Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was unable to tame. That’s disrupting the party’s agenda, shelving priorities and leaving gnawing questions about any leader’s ability to govern.

    Mike Johnson just exudes creep vibes in this picture. Is that just how he looks all the time. Or is he just bad at taking photos?

      He is creepy. He said that he has a phone app that he uses with his son to stop them both from watching gay porno. He is a fucking creepy piece of shit.

          Okay I could be wrong but the article I read I thought I remembered it specifically saying gay porno. But yea I don’t care what kind of porno it is either.

          Except that he is outspoken against the lgbt community which would actually change the situation.

      Like his suit is the only thing keeping all manner of pure evil from bursting forth and wriggling all over the podium?

      Yes, very creepy vibes.
