Democrats only needed to flip three seats to gain the majority in the House — they picked up 44 in a massive GOP shellacking

House Speaker Mike Johnson has blasted voters for making the “wrong choice” on Election Day last week.

Donald Trump, Johnson and other Republican leaders were tasked with keeping the majority in Congress, but despite their best efforts, Democrats swept the midterms in a defeat so crushing that it was dubbed a blue tsunami.

Johnson shared regret for the GOP’s shellacking, but not the blame. Instead, the Republican leader pinned it on the Americans who voted against his party on Tuesday.

When asked by CNN’s Manu Raju on Capitol Hill Monday whether Trump needs to “course correct” after the midterm losses, Johnson said, “I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job. We have an incredible record of the first two years of his term, and I expect more success in the days ahead.”

    In terms of most punchable I’d put Stephen Miller as #1 and Elon as #2. He’s a strong contender for #3

    I think your #1 and 2 are definitely in the right spots. The earth and everyone on it would be better off if those 2 were gone.

    Democracy is not a system of truth seeking. It's a compromise.

    Nobody said this is about truth seeking.

    If an elected official thinks he can tell the voters that they were wrong for not choosing his party, that is anti-democracy

    No, it isn't. Goddamn y'all are dumb as shit sometimes.

    What, you think Trump was the right choice in 2024 because he won both the popular vote and ec?

    What an interesting thing to say, for someone whose job is literally to represent the voters and enact the will of the people. He is literally a Congressional Representative.

    “I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job. We have an incredible record of the first two years of his term, and I expect more success in the days ahead.”

    Johnson expects SO much success, in fact, that he is stepping down from leadership in the new Congress altogether, and refused the minority leader position that was offered him.

    LOL, I love it when these dingles actually say out loud such whoppers like donnie "is doing so many good things for the American people" or "we had so much work to do to undo all the damage that Biden and the Democrat (sic) Party did" or whatever the fuck.

    Such unbelievably blatant liars.

    With an added dose of condescension about how people don't even appreciate all the good they are doing, how could this happen?

    These assholes completely pooched the economy, gave even more money away to the obscenely wealthy parasitic class, and then set up a bomb to have shit really hit the fan for the 99% in Jan 2027 and have the balls to sit there and whine that people didn't vote for them.

    With any luck Johnson will fade quickly into obscurity and this will be one of the last times this asshole makes the news.

    He can go back to monitoring his son's phone to make sure he doesn't look at any pictures that would make the baby Jesus cry.

    So as we've seen for the past 2 years, there is absolutely zero accountability in the Republican party whatsoever. And even after getting their asses completely fucking handed to them, they still don't have any capacity for accountability, even personal self accountability to the extent that they would rather blame the people who put them in their position of power to begin with, than to incorporate and impose the will of those people.

    What do you expect though when a party who bases their beliefs and ideals on a 2,000-year-old textbook and are not capable of any rational thought of any kind on their own? A shameless party with egos so massive, they're unwilling to accept reality in any form or fashion, especially if it gets in the way of their ability to make a dollar.

    They don't actually believe in the Bible, as evidenced by their complete refusal to follow the commandments of Christ. They just use it as crowbar to hit brain dead evangelists over the head with to keep them in the party base. True Christians are all leftists and mostly socialists. However, they are extremely hard to find, especially in the evangelical Christian nationalist US of A. These cunts only use Christianity as a weapon to hurt people not in their tribe.

    Congress, especially the House has been full on fucking clown shoes for 2 years and this spineless piece of shit is saying the Dems will bring a circus? The guy who could barely get his seat and hold it? The guy speedrunning the line to kiss trumps diapered ass?

    Johnson is admitting (after his own fashion) that the Dems are likely to investigate the everloving SHIT out of the GOP cronies and corrupt contributors (bribes and enrichments, oh my!) as well as lock down the budget until they get their way. So, you know.... stopping the circus the GOP brought to town.

    but despite their best efforts, Democrats swept the midterms

    No, it was because of their best efforts, not despite them.

    Voters finally got to see what republicans do when they’re given free rein. They went mask-off, making it undeniable to anyone paying even partial attention how despicable they truly are.
