    Was watching CNN at the gym for a minute just to see what the libs were saying. They were comparing him to Dubya as a "reasonable conservative" or something along those lines. Lol.

    He'll last a week before Lauren Boebert turns on him because he doesn't support putting mothers who had an abortion into concentration camps.

      I think I doubt that. Mike Johnson is Trump-aligned and very much opposed to abortion. Here's a photo of Borbert celebrating with Johnson today.

      “Johnson is a RINO because he can’t reduce the deficit and cut taxes while also doubling the military budget!”

    He is in a covenant marriage, which I just learned is a thing in 3 states. A covenant marriage is basically marriage without the option of no-fault divorce. His wife would have to attend marriage counseling and have a legal reason to divorce him, such as infidelity.
