What difference does it make to him? I’d love for him to be incapacitated and unable to vote in person for several months, just to appreciate what he’s trying to deny women.
Never piss off new mamas &
Holy Hypocrite Johnson learns it the hard way
Bravo Brittany Petersen & Anna Luna ( who also quit the House “Freedom” Caucus in disgust)
Allowing proxy voting to new parents is a win-win except for the GOP where:
The cruelty is the point
Their whole ideology says women shouldn't be working in the first place. They want the good ol days back when a woman's sole duty was to cook, clean, and pop out kids.
This guy is worthless. He is nothing but a pathetic little boy and a lackey for this convicted felon/criminal by doing what he is told to do…it’s absolutely disgusting, disgraceful, shameful and insane…
Lets see Mike Johnson squeeze an 8 pound turd out of his a$$hole and then come in the next day to vote. He is the biggest douche bag scrotum licker around! Fk that guy!
Johnson was terrified that a Dem would use it to proxy vote so he was willing to sacrifice republican women. PLUS he's mad now he lost control of his party so he CANCELED work for the rest of the week!
“The speaker tried to use an unprecedented parliamentary maneuver to deny a bipartisan majority the chance to hold a vote on their proposal to allow new parents to vote remotely in the House.”
“suffering an embarrassing defeat that paralyzed the chamber”
... the last time I checked MAGA, Mike Johnson does NOT have a uterus. He may think that his wife's uterus is a bargaining chip...NOT for real American women.
That's what entitled children do at play. When they lose their a** gets chapped and they just go home to sulk. They're cowards. But, at least children have the excuse of an incomplete frontal lobe development.
I don’t see the conflict there.
Is there a crueler group in world history? 1600 years of rape pillaging and murder on every continent.
Somebody told you they’re the good guys?
You were conned.
If Trump goes ahead with a massive tariff on all countries of the world the proverbial (tariff) shit will hit the fan with a vengeance and with a certainty of a brutal recession!
I hope that all Americans will be able to absorb yet another 10 to 25 % increase in their bills.
Little Mike can't get anything done right. Not even passing hateful and hurtful bills that encourage suffering. He needs to stop praying to the Golden Calf... mostly Orange turd.
Everytime I look at that loser, I can't quite place that expression. Till now: Failure. The face of failure. And we'll start with the Christianity part...
Key context about the origins and purpose of proxy voting during the COVID-19 pandemic was initially absent. Discover how the summary enhances understanding of the bipartisan effort to modernize parental leave policies in Congress.
the White Heritage Foundation wants only white evangelical republican men working in government and most other places. they think women should only be employed in “traditional” female jobs like teacher, nurse, secretary, etc. you don’t have to dig very far to discover this
Men and religion, same as men with whiskey. This dude doesn't have a consensus and wont have voting power to help Trump change the gov't. So much shit Trump wants done, before his midterm wipeout leads to lame duck 2nd half.
I thought that the Republicans were pro-family and would support women who have children? Oh, I see, the babies are fine, just no systems to support them or their parent(s).
We all know that the GoP is trying everything possible to create the Republic of Gilead, a Christian Theocratic Autocracy that forces anyone who is not white, male, and Evangelist to bow before their power and oppression.

We support empathy and doing the right thing. We support standing up to the weak and insecure fascist Administration.
We are the People.

Just fuck Mike Johnson.
The citizenry can still bit it, though.
This no defeat worth trumpeting. It's just more self-dealing that doesn't extend to any of us.
GDP of 3.3% (2017). Same as 2016 when Biden was president.
In 2018, GDP dropped to 2.9%.
In 2019, before covid, GDP dropped to 2.1%.
GDP was negative in 2020, during 45s management of the COVID pandemic.
It was a stupid stance to take forcing new mothers to come in for votes.
If he had killed it, what would the headline be?
“In an ENCOURAGING WIN…defeated measure to ban remote voting..”
What the fuck are you saying??
He failed because 9 Republicans voted against his move.
So some Rep. do have a conscience? Now start using this conscience on a daily basis.
has no original thoughts
Only what TRUMP tells him to do
Until that changes Speaker Mike Johnson
remains flaccid

We are prepared.

You mean: “House passes measure to allow members to proxy vote after birth of a child - despite Speaker Johnson’s best efforts.”
Your focus on the Speaker is as embarrassing as it is a grammatical nightmare.
I’m history teacher, so that’s what I’m focused on.
But you do you, friend.
I guess demeaning women *while* subjugating them is an important enough goal for these people that they have to fight for it.
