Kentucky MAGA hick Congressman Thomas Massie on Wednesday told Punchbowl’s Melanie Zanona he will not be voting for Speaker Mike Johnson come January 3rd, raising the possibility there could be major chaos once again at the beginning of the 119th Congress, just as there was in 2023 when it took goddamned 15 votes for Kevin McCarthy to squeak across the finish line.
In related news, maybe good for Mike Johnson but who the hell knows, Matt Gaetz on Wednesday floated the possibility he could come back to DC to get sworn in and serve for three days to “File a privileged motion to expose every ‘me too’ settlement paid using public funds (even of former members)” and then “Resign and start my @OANN program at 9pm EST on January 6, 2025.”
Maybe that’ll help Johnson. What won’t is what Elon Musk just tweeted. “Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in 2 years!” wrote Ketamine Brain on the social media network he ruined, to which Gaetz replied “Elon isn’t fucking around. He’s fully engaged, funding massive efforts. This is not an empty threat.” Ballsucker, lol.
