  1. It IS his lane, as the executive is only allowed to accept gifts if approved by Congress.

  2. >”My understanding is it’s not a personal gift to the president, it’s a gift to the United States,” Johnson said. “Other nations give us gifts all the time… I’m going to leave it to the administration. They know much more about the details of that. It’s not my lane.”

    A cowardly and pathetic response. He is smart enough to know this is a massive violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause, as this ~~bribe~~ gift did not get approved through Congress.

    Being this afraid of 47 and his brain dead cult is truly embarrassing.

  3. Sure as hell would be his lane if the president was a democrat, though

  4. Every single one of these fucking Republican morons just makes it up as they go. They continuously pick the most wrong, anti-democratic side to every issue. They are a literal threat to our country and society.

    Oh, and, it is LITERALLY YOUR LANE, you chowderhead.

  5. It’s always someone else’s problem “the buck stops somewhere else just stop bothering me about it!”

  7. Unfortunately Mike’s job is more than boot licking.

  8. “No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

    The Constitution says this is Mike Johnson’s lane. Because if Trump takes that plane without Congressional action he should be impeached and removed from office.

    But I suppose Mike Johnson and the Congressional Republicans sure are busy stripping health care away from 12 million Americans including the poorest, sickest, disabled and vulnerable among us. As well as significantly increasing the taxes on working class Americans – all while ceding their power to the oval office.

  9. *No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.*

    “… without the Consent of Congress …”

    It’s right there in the Constitution, Mike.

  11. Too bad they don’t offer a truthful headline…

    “….gets dragged by random social media nobodies.”

    I just have no time for bullshit articles. I mean we’re dragging this criminal administration and their sycophants in congress 24×7 here in Reddit. These articles are stupid.

    I get momentarily enthused that some one…anyone with some power in this country to do anything about this crap is “dragging” that little piss ant mikey johnson. But no, it’s just someone on twitter.

  12. He’s doing all he can just to make it to the end of the day where he can go home and put his dog collar on again. It makes him feel safe.

    Poor little fella.

  14. You mean republicans cherry pick which laws they want to enforce the same way they cherry pick bible verses when they want to use when damning you?

  15. fuck mike johnson and the rest of these ghouls. There will be a find out phase for them eventually, but it’s going to take some collective action to get us there quickly.

  17. No. He just means Congressional Republicans have decided to turn a blind eye to any and all corruption in the White House. “It’s not my lane” is just a colloquial way of saying “Trump can do whatever he wants.”

  18. Substitute “Obama” for “tump” and mike would be calling for his head.

  20. Words fail to express what a creepy Christian Taliban shit stain scum bag incompetent fuck this clown is.

  23. This is a great opportunity for the press to ask him why is it not his job?

  24. Well, I guess Trump doesn’t get to keep the plane.

  25. I say we flood his office with calls asking to use the jet. Since it’s apparently a gift to the American public on par with the Statue of Liberty, I’m sure they’ll be okay with it.

  26. Right, just like RFK Jr is insisting he does not give medical advice. No one in this administration will ever be responsible for anything negative.

    But they’re absolutely taking credit for anything remotely positive or anything that can be spun positive.

  27. “I’m not here to check or balance anything. Pretty sure that’s not my job. If the White House wanted me to do that they’d tell me to.”

  28. So in other words, Mike Johnson knows it’s wrong but is afraid to say anything that might anger dear leader

    Spineless coward

  29. You know, in Brazil it’s an actual crime for public officials to deliberately refuse to do the jobs they were hired to do. Perhaps Americans should be looking at something along these lines.

  31. Complete abdication of constitutional responsibility by the GOP.

  32. I hope Johnson is held accountable for his treason

  33. Looks like Mike Johnson is forgetting about his oath to the constitution. He needs to be removed along with all the other maga traitors.

  34. Yeah you should probably hold your politicians accountable so they stop this

  36. Lol. Not my clowns not my circus.

    Wait, they are my clowns? Well. Shit.

  37. “It’s not our place to make any decisions that might displease our king.” – What Mike really means.

  38. > “My understanding is it’s not a personal gift to the president, it’s a gift to the United States,”

    In the form of a plane meant to be used by The President alone.

    …

    The fact that Republicans take this shit and shove it down their own throats with glee is amazing to me.

    Wow.
