1. Don’t look at the man behind the curtain, he’s currently fucking up, but you don’t know that.  

2. These people are pathetic

   Too many of us here have unrealistic expectations for what we can expect the House to do. The House has a slight Republican majority, Democrats do not have the math to be check or balance while their Republican colleagues do shit like this.

4. “Stop insisting we fulfill our constitutional duty!” ~GOP Congress

5. Goodbye checks and balances. Hello authoritarianism.

6. Does little bitty Mike Johnson’s accountability app alert his son every time he kisses Trump’s ass?

7. The four boxes of liberty. Two failed. Third is in distress

8. fuck house republicans

9. They conveniently forgot about all those Biden family crimes they said they were investigating

10. Nope. Executive oversight is bad.

    But hey! Here’s Hunter Biden’s junk in a congressional hearing!

11. Republicans continue their consolidation of power while enabling Trump’s rise to kingship.

12. Abrogating even more power to the executive branch. The Enabling Act in baby steps.

13. The only thing Congress is good at in the 2020s is holding theatrical hearings and passing procedural changes to avoid having to actually commit to anything.

14. Congress stopping congress from congress’ duty of balancing the executive branch.

15. It’s the role of legislative branch to be a check to on the executive branch. Self sabotage of the ability to provide effective oversight feels unconstitutional to me.

16. Is executive oversight not a huge portion of Congress’s reason for being?

17. Mass protests are going to be the only way. They keep shutting down our legal avenues 

18. We now have a king

19. I hope sincerely hope that when their day of accountability comes, they are met with the same lack of compassion they used when helping to destroy our democracy.

20. There have always been and will always be self-serving people who want power and money above all else. However, their attainment of that power and money requires many people to help and many more to acquiesce. The fact that people like Johnson, Trump, Elon, and all their toadies feel physically safe doing this is a massive condemnation of the American people and will be remembered in history. Hopefully, that chapter is short, but signs are not positive at all. Everyone waits for someone else to do something.

21. Oh swell … I guess the constitution isn’t a thing anymore.

22. Dems! It’s only a fucking rule! Break it!

23. Sick of all republicans. I never want to see any dem attempt to reach across the aisle. It’s getting to where republicans need to be forced out.

24. Why do we even need congress if they don’t have a role in government?

25. Willfully dismantled the United States. Well done Republicans.

26. There you have it folks. If you want the legislature to be an equal branch of a working government then you can’t have republicans as a majority. Simple as that.

27. Maybe I was just young and naive, but I feel like I can remember a time when being a republican didn’t automatically mean you were stupid, evil, or insane . . . or all three.

    But that’s sure as fuck what it means now.

    Beacause ignorant is off the goddamn table.

28. Fuck house republicans. Fuck all republicans

29. MAGA filth.  These fucking idiot shit-stain ghouls will burn it all down just so they can sift through the ashes.   Scumfucks.  Every single one of them. 

30. IF there is a legit election in 2026 and Democrats do not win back the house, it is game over. Roll the credits on America as we knew it.

32. “We hate how they are making us look like the villains” -Republicans probably

33. If Trump doesnt die before the next election, the next president should pass an EO stating that Trump was the worse president ever, forever written in the history books. See what he thinks after that.

34. Republicans need to realize they’re not gonna be able to hold onto power forever so the rules are creating now to basically screw Democrats are gonna come right back at them.

35. It’s unconstitutional because it prevents Congress from doing one of the most basic functions of its job.

36. Shit better hit the ceiling when/if Democrats take back the House. Justice delayed or less than appropriate is no Justice at all. Treason must be met accordingly!

37. Do checks and balances not exist in the maga sphere?

38. Look, if they’re going to play these games the democrats need to learn how to play dirty.

39. Another step in voting to be a dictatorship. Well done GOP

40. Do any of these stupid bastards realize they are jeopardizing their own jobs? Do they think they get to stick around after Trump consolidates power?

41. If anything I think this will actually help Dems in the midterms – the GOP is giving themselves more rope to hang themselves with by forfeiting more power to Donny. The only hurdle I see is having enough spine to turn the screws anytime the opportunity is given.

42. how is this even legal

43. How does the lower the cost of housing in America?

44. If by some miracle dems regain control of the country, they will have some serious reforms to do…

45. I’m sure they will act exactly the same with a Dem POTUS. Oh, wait.

46. Mike Johnson, “I know we are incompetent and hateful, but I don’t want anybody to find out”.

47. Enjoy this rule when you try and investigate the next Dem president and run into your own pothole.

48. Hey Dems, at this point rules are made to be broken.

49. Tell me again why the entire gop aren’t traitors to our country?
