Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was also once called a key “architect” in Congress’s efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.
Johnson finally secured the speaker’s gavel after Republican infighting left the House without a speaker for 22 days. He secured 220 votes.
Johnson is a four-term congressman representing Louisiana. His win also represents the rise of the MAGA front in the Republican Party. Earlier Wednesday morning, Donald Trump endorsed Johnson as House speaker—after quickly killing Mike Emmer’s nomination the day before.
You, sir, are demonstrably wrong! Let me post a long response citing multiple sources to correct you!
…Nah, you’re good. Ain’t nobody got time for that (or so you’d think).
FFS I only saw the first part in notifications, and I was about to have a conniption.
Dear Diary. Today I learnt a new word. I will probably forget it in 5mins but what I know for sure is I will have many conniptions when I quit vaping nicotine and I’ll probably wish I’d remembered the word so I could satisfyingly label them as such when I do.
“Gives me conniptions”
Interestingly enough, you might remember it better. One of the effects of nicotine is enhanced memory.
Sorry about that! XD
