The lunatic fringe isn't getting rid of him: he's one of theirs. The "moderate" Republicans aren't getting rid of him: they don't want another round of speakerlessness. The Democrats aren't getting rid of him: he was never getting any of their votes to begin with So how would he get removed?

Exactly this. I would wager that multiple factions of the Castrated Caucus believe they've got somebody they can lead around by the nose. Time will tell.

But one look at this guy's political beliefs points to the likely outcome that Mike Johnson is the new "Nancy Pelosi"... that is, I mean, in regards to political advertising. The ads write themselves.

Mike Johnson proposed trillions of dollars in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. Somebody notify Empty Green, Boebert and the GOP idiots in Congress so they'll stop screaming at President Biden for stating facts that are easily verifiable:

Multimillionaire Mike believes that abortion should be banned even in cases of rape and incest. He's blamed Roe v. Wade for robbing the United States of "able-bodied workers" and therefore depriving Social Security.

So forced births -- even in cases of rape and incest -- are necessary to fund Social Security. They want trillions of dollars in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Today's GOP; they own this agenda. The ads write themselves.

In light of recent history I wouldn’t wager on how long this guy lasts.

I wouldn't wager either, but not for the same reasons (I think) you are meaning. :)

Trump's Lawyers Flip On Him

Au contraire mon frère! Because according to Poor Donald, none of those bottle-nosed dolphins -- I mean, flippers -- were ever actually lawyers of his. Now, I (think I) know what you're thinking: Donald simply "forgot" (again) that he previously claimed exactly the opposite (again) of what he's stating now... what we non con artists refer to as "pathological lying."

As everyone (who isn't a Trump chump, rube, and/or has some functioning brain cells) actually already knows, Donald is a prolific "talker" who can't/won't stop "sharing" things on "social" media and won't/can't shut his (orange) blowhole. If you don't believe me, just ask any of his (alleged) lawyers (current or former) or "fixers" or (soon to be) ex-lawyers.

A quick search of "X" -- formerly known as "Twitter" -- I call it "Xitter," and that "xi" is pronounced like "sh" as in "anxious," but come to think of it, "X" definitely fits because so many Twitter users are now "ex" users -- meaning they no longer post on Shitter -- I mean "X" or "Xitter" or whatever other people are calling it these days:

Donald J. Trump

I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!

Seems like there's always a Twit; although, I suppose technically, I should now be calling it a "Xit." Poor Donald, it must really suck to be a criminally felonious deranged old man who can't remember his shit.

Giuliani has another problem as well -- he's apparently broke.

That's because Giuliani has a deadbeat for a client who is famous for bullying and suing his way out of paying his debts to all manner of financial institutions, taxing authorities, business entities, lawyers/fixers, and individuals... vendors, employees, etc. Rudy knowingly worked (litigated, lied) for Deadbeat Donald so he's got no one to blame but himself.

He can't pay his lawyers' bills and Donald Trump is refusing to foot the bill for him.

Deadbeat Donald hasn't paid many of his own lawyers' bills (Guiliani, Ellis, Powell, etc.) so why would Trump pay Guiliani's lawyers' bills? Rhetorical question.

Last night, ABC News ran a scoop: Meadows had already flipped on Trump by testifying to the federal grand jury in the January 6th case, after being granted immunity for his testimony.

If I had to hazard a guess (let's pretend I have to), I would wager that since Meadows is (to date) NOT an unnamed player in the federal DC J6 case of Jack Smith, I think he also isn't exactly a flipper who is cooperating with prosecutors but was given a limited grant of immunity in order to secure actual testimony. In other words, anything to which he testified that would incriminate himself would/could not be used by prosecutors unless (of course) he gave false testimony. That's not cooperating or flipping; it's simply agreeing to provide actual information (NOT take the Fifth) in exchange for not being prosecuted.

Other than all that, how's things? ;)

Oh yeah? Would you wager that this guy will last longer than the last guy? With this GQP?

In light of recent history I wouldn’t wager on how long this guy lasts.
