WASHINGTON Speaker Mike Johnson is staring down a revolt from House Republican women. Several female lawmakers have been increasingly defying Johnson, R-La., on legislative matters and lobbing public broadsides at him including a member of Johnsons own leadership team.
This week alone, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., launched a discharge petition to go around Johnson and force a floor vote on a congressional stock trading ban, posting on X that shes pissed that leadership isnt moving fast enough on the issue while clarifying, I like Mike. Johnson prefers to go through regular order, and there has been an initial hearing on the issue.
Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, the chair of House Republican Leadership, not only signed on to Lunas petition but also publicly unloaded on Johnson over an unrelated issue in the national defense bill, suggesting in a series of social media posts that Johnson lied about the matter. The spat has seemingly since been resolved, but the bad blood between the two has long been simmering.
Asked about Stefaniks broadsides in the Capitol on Wednesday, Johnson shrugged off the complaints and said hes not worried about his standing at all.

Johnson has created his own "Mojo Dojo Casa House".

Nothing about healthcare or "affordability".
Don't know how long the GOP "Stepford Wives" women will continue to rebel before being reigned in but...

(13,907 posts)Mike Johnson's help meet recently said in an interview "men's brains are like waffles, with "little compartments" that allow them to think about one thing at a time or even nothing at all. In contrast, she described women's brains as being like "spaghetti," in which all thoughts, concerns, and emotionsthe "meatballs, the pasta, the sauce, the oregano"are intertwined, meaning they "can't stop thinking".
Of course her husband stays in the part of the waffle that doesn't think since Trump takes care of that for him.

She is a moral coward. She never would have challenged him if her Congressional position depended on being compliant.

(3 posts)Stefanik, and Luna have no right at all to complain about poor treatment by MAGAAAAAH caucus. Where were they when Planned Parenthood was gutted. When Roe vs Wade was overturned. When mostly women professions were limited to 100 K student loans.
At least when maga Mike takes it in the a#s he politely says thank you while wiping the j#zz dripping from his rump. He does not complain afterward like these two idiots who have taken one load after another before finally realizing they were not eating pumpkin pie whip cream.
Stefanik wants to be NY Gov. talk about delusional. New Yorkers will chew her up and spit the shreds into the Hudson.
I feel disgusted for taking the few minutes to write this post. On the positive I do feel a minuscule amount more devilish.
