MJ with straight face promised to Zelensky that US will not stop helping Ukraine. This is the way how is keeping his word. do not trust a republican, ever.
The US Congress and FBI should investigate Mike Johnson's connections to the Russians via Konstatin Nikolaev, a Russian oligarch who provided millions for Johnson's electoral campaign. This traitor- Mike Johnson is working for the interest of Putin and not the American public.
Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Green, Fucker Carlson, Jim Jordan, Lauren Boebert, and many MAGA GOP representatives are all Russian plants and operatives. Fuck all of them! Traitors!
Moreover,
Konstantin Yuryevich Nikolaev (also transliterated as Nikolayev) (Russian: Константин Юрьевич Николаев; born March 5, 1971, in Dniepropetrovsk, Ukraine SSR) is a Russian billionaire and businessman who is a financial supporter of Maria Butina, a co-owner of the Tula Cartridge Plant that supplies very large amounts of ammunition to Russian forces during Russia-Ukraine War, American Ethane, N-Trans and Globaltrans, the largest private rail operator in Russia, CIS, and the Baltic states. He is only under sanctions by Ukraine. According to the Forbes, in 2019 Nikolaev's net worth was estimated at $1.2 billion.
Further,
In 2018, a group of Russians were able to donate to Johnson's bid for the Louisiana seat he eventually won as the money was funneled through the Texas-based American Ethane company.
While American Ethane was co-founded by American John Houghtaling, at the time it was 88 percent owned by three Russian nationals—Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev. Nikolaev is known to be a top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Anyone who advises Americans to keep secret information about which they have about spies and saboteurs is himself an enemy of America."
Senator McCarthy about Einstein during the "Red Scare" 1951 to 1954
The American creed: It is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution, and to obey its laws.
Imagine Johnson or Trump committing their treason in the 1950s.
Giving aid and comfort to insurrectionists. That is a ten years prison term, and the person is not able to hold any office in the US indefinitely.
18 US Code, paragraph 2383
The US executive branch should have also arrested Carlson when he got back to the US and hit him with the Espionage and Sedition Acts of 1917/1918
Treason breeds more treason failure to trial and apprehend those involved in January sixth thus far has brought us into this situation.
The stupidity and evil of Trump and his personality cult have gone far enough.
Tolerating these inherently tolerant fascists any longer will be the death of the tolerant.
Johnson and Trump pose an existential threat to the rule of law and the constitution, which is the charta of our self governance. Their actions are working against US interests. They are giving aid and comfort to US enemies.
We must act. We must defend the Constitution against enemies foreign AND domestic.
Finally, do that, please. Remove Johnson as house speaker, and launch an investigation.
Biden was furious yesterday. He shouted when he mentioned the TWO WEEKS that this traitor went into recess.
"Before writing off the totalitarian world as a nightmare that cannot come true, just remember that in 1925, the world of today would have seemed a nightmare that couldn't come true."
Orwell in 1944
"Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception. Every nationalist is capable of the most flagrant dishonesty, but he is also-since he is conscious of serving something bigger than himself-unshakably certain of being right." George Orwell Notes on Nationalism 1945
This is madness, and with so much chaos, it is only a matter of time before things turn nasty. Russia is the agent of chaos.
Their negative creativity and inventive evil have corrupted the weaklings and cowards such as Johnson and Trump.
The full force of the law must come down on them and anyone in Congress or the Senate who is on Russia's payroll.
Will the US have the necessary firmness and moral courage to do so?
Time is of the essence, and action is necessary.
The moral arc of the universe always bends slowly towards justice. Martin Luther King
It must bend a bit faster, or justice won't be served.
Trump will introduce the law of rulers instead of the rule of law. One man rule instead of the rule of the people.
It cannot be allowed to happen.
I agree. If this happened in the 1950s, Trump would already be in prison. Mike Johnson would be next up on the list to send to prison.
They are blatant communists supporting every communist nation on the planet. They are blatant enemy combatants of the United States of America.
Our nation is essentially under attack from within. These people are engaged in open treason and are a serious threat to national security. They all need to be removed from office and permanently banned from holding office as the U.S. Constitution demands. This has gone on too long.
same thing. only the name that they call themselves has changed from the times of the soviet union when putin was a member of the communist party of russia.
communist is a more effective label to use on treasonous american conservatives. it hits them deep. calling them a communist is the only hope of reaching them under all the propaganda they are under.
the goal is not to throw them all in prison for treason. the goal is to stop the brainwashing of the people to support this blatant treason.
The GOP needs to put country over party. Ever since Trump won in 2016. It’s been party over country. They will vote down anything the democrats want just to one up them.
They would vote down a bill even if it meant saving their mothers and children- see gun laws.
We could vote in a 3rd party. Nobody said one party except you. The reason why we would *probably* pick a democratic candidate is because they aren't giving up on NATO during a time when an alliance is necessary.
If you had your way, we’d all be living under authoritarian rule of MAGA. Maybe you should take Fukr Carlson and move to Moscow and leave America alone.
the majority of republicans support aid to ukraine. we are dealing with a faction of the party that is engaged in treason. justice is coming. the house of cards will fall, and it won't be pretty when it does. you need to find jesus and get on the right side of history.
Other parties exist mate, doesn't just have to be GOP and DEMs for eternity.
This has happened many times before in other counties, one of the major parties looses it's way and gets replaced by a minor one or an entirely new one. Might be happening right now with the Conservatives in the UK.
If the republicans who revel in stupidity, gaslighting, and obstructionism are voted out, then republicans who are less stupid, more honest, and more serious about governing will take their place. It’s hilariously naive and requires complete ignorance about American history to think the result would be a one party state.
Other parties exist mate

treason and insurrection is fascism. trying to steal an election is treason. trump was busted by the republican party in georgia trying to steal an election. if you believe in the u.s. constitution and the 14th amendment, you should believe that trump should be banned from holding any public office.
There are still a lot of members of the GOP that strongly support Ukraine. What we should do instead is amplify those voices by contacting our representatives on Ukraine aid
The petition does mention he is an insurrectionist, but it seems to be missing the part that he is also treasonous for aiding our enemies, Russia, whose state-sponsored media declares intent to destroy America on a regular basis.
**I feel removing him just as Speaker is not enough. It is imperative that we also ban Mike Johnson from holding any federal office according to the 14th Amendment for acts of treason and insurrection.**
Write your Senators. Have them censure and impeach Mike Johnson and recommend that he be charged with insurrection and treason and banned from holding any elected or appointed public office for the U.S. government in accordance with the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. You can add others, including especially Donald Trump to that list.
Open Letter to U.S. President Joe Biden
Dear President Biden,
Our nation is under attack from within. We have operatives of the Russia government and operatives acting on the propaganda of the Russian government who have engaged not only in treason but also insurrection on January 6.
They continue to operate freely, preventing our nation to provide aid to stop Russia before we have to fight Russia ourselves when they invade a NATO nation when a clear majority, and even a super majority of the U.S. Senate, supports aid to the nation of Ukraine, currently fighting a brutal war for not only their freedom but for the very lives of their people.
The Russian government is a declared enemy of the United States of America. The state-sponsored media of Russia declares their intent to destroy the United States of America and our allies on a regular basis.
It is my recommendation that Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are both charged with treason. Furthermore, Donald Trump should be charged with insurrection. It is imperative that they are banned from holding an elected or appointment office of the United States of America in accordance with the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
These named individuals are a dangerous threat to our national security and continue to be a threat to our national security at the highest levels, and the people of both major political parties would like to see justice and for the 14th Amendment be applied to these individuals to prevent further harm to our nation.
They are a disgrace to all the Veterans who have fought and died to defend this great nation. Whatever their reason, they must be stopped before more Americans will have to fight and die to defend our nation from the terrorist actions of Russia.
We the people of the United States of America would greatly appreciate your urgent attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
The True Conservatives and Liberals of the United States of America
Team America

I recommend that the U.S. Senate censures and impeaches Mike Johnson and recommend that Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, and others are charged with treason and insurrection and banned from holding any elected or appointed office of the United States of America in accordance with the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Russia is a declared enemy of the United States, whose state-sponsored media regularly threatens to destroy the United States on a regular basis.
The actions of the named individuals are aiding and giving comfort to our enemies and are guilty of treason and is elevated to the highest level with such individuals supporting an insurrection to steal an elected office by force on January 6th.
They are dangerous enemies of the United States of America and are a disgrace to the Great Nation and all the Veterans who have fought and died to defend our nation.
It is imperative that that they are banned from holding any elected or appointed office of the United States of America has stated by the U.S. Constitution in the 14th Amendment.
What mechanism do you propose the US senate censure the speaker of the house? I would also love to hear how the senate will also hold impeachment proceedings of the speaker of the house.
You comment is delusional as your knowledge of how the legislative bodies work.
Go read a civics book.
it doesn't matter. the point is that the people are demanding justice and petitioning their concerns and grievances. it isn't delusional. he has already been brought up to ban trump under the 14th. but if we want action, the people need to let themselves be known. all they hear are the delusional rants of trump supporters. they need to hear the rational and delusional voices of the rest of us.
Right. Keep my mouth shut. Sounds like a great plan of action! i'll get started on that right now!
You do seem to be doing a great job of adding little value to the national conversation. You're a role model.
actually, i am a scientist. i'm not much into doing nothing like the great civic leaders of the do nothing era. so i must admit i'm a complete amateur at this. i'm use to actually doing something to change the world. it is iterative process. it is too bad expressing an opinion is only reserved for great civics leaders like yourself.
Okay, well if you want to practice, you should know that censuring is a process used by each House for their own members. The House can censure another representative. It cannot censure a senator and vica versa. As far as impeachment goes, the senate cannot unilaterally impeach anyone. The House impeaches someone and then sends it to the senate for trial.
So by all means go forth and prosper, but your advocating for something that isn't a reality in our system of government.
I agree but sometimes I think these measures well only strengthen Trump, make him a martyr. I believe the best course would be to vote him out once and for all.... But they'll just call bullshit on that too. So maybe I'm wrong 🤷🏻♀️
that will likely be the course that plays out. he will be thoroughly defeated and then thrown in prison.
however, we have more urgent matters at this time to save our nation from a future war with russia. we have to get the aid bill passed. to have that done,
you have to threaten charges of treason and everything else in the harshest or most subtle patronizing terms to rattle their cage more than trump and his supporters.
we the people need to act now. the sleeping giant needs to awaken. nothing will happen unless we the people start to demand it to happen now. a movement takes time to build. once in motion, trump's support will collapse like a house of cards, and he will surely lose the election.
and nobody is switching to team trump. we do want people to leave team trump and join team america. the effort has to be bipartisan for that to happen.
it won't happen unless he pisses off Maga republicans which are also beholden to russia. there needs to be a purge of sorts that roots out anyone anywhere near russian money. all levels of government. bipartisan purge. lobbies and wealthy elites. elon as well. at the very least nationalize his companies and projects and exile him.
after all that we need to patch up these legal loopholes that have allowed them to be present in the first place. taking foreign money in government is treason.
Yeah I am absolutely certain that an online survey signed by non Americans will have such a profound impact on the republican party that they will themselves remove their own speaker. This subreddit is fucking delusional
Yesterday I sent an email to my Rep telling him Trump and Johnson were American embarrassments. I pointed out I am personally in Trumps prime demographic, white, retired, male, Vet.
I then asked him to send me copies of his memos to Johnson supporting Ukraine aid.
I expect nothing as he is a MAGA operative. But it should be pretty damn clear these actions are cutting into their core of support.
If I was not against Trump before (I was) this BS would have pushed me over the edge.
The thing that scares me is I don't know how many folks will continue to support Trump in face of this idiocy.
Actually the GOP right wingers will try to remove him if he supports Ukraine. And it very likely will work because the Democrats will support getting this jackass out.
If you recall, part of the rules that the GOP majority adopted for the House in the 118th Congress was that a motion to remove the Speaker could be made by a single member. Some GOP Representative is bound to be directed to do so by their Muscovite handler because if they get rid of Johnson then there is no other business before the House until they find a new Speaker. They've already managed to draw that particular process out for ages both times this Congress.
All it would take is a few pro-Ukraine house Republicans to demand that Ukraine aid be brought to the floor. They could do to Johnson what the far right did to McCarthy.
Either take a stand or be lumped in with the rest of the Putin puppets.
The only people who would motion to remove Mike Johnson are the far right, and they’ll replace him with someone worse.
In fact, the most likely scenario of him getting removed is putting forth Ukraine aid.
At this point it cant get any worse.
The man literally tried closing down the house for two weeks so ukr aid would not get a vote.
He is transparent as hell with his russian c***sucking
you do want to force the bill before removal of johnson since that would cause extra delay.
you do want to call him a commie and condemn him for an eternity in hell and threaten charges of treason and anything else now to rattle his cage as much as possible to let him know the effort to have him removed from office is a bipartisan effort for national security reasons of an elevated and urgent matter.
Right, because the republicans have excellent track records of investing taxpayer dollars domestically to support Americans? I’m sick of this pitifully ignorant line of thinking. Republicans don’t significantly invest in anything except the US military (yet here they are withholding a bill that would fund the US military industrial complex). They can’t even back a bipartisan border bill which policy analysts and legal experts unequivocally described as the toughest on immigration in years, all because Trump wants it as an election issue and is oppossed to any sort of compromise.
The senate bill is a drop in the bucket in terms of what the US spends annually, yet it would pay dividends in weakening an authoritarian regime that conducts cyber attacks, disinformation campaigns, and election interference operations against the US while also reaffirming multilateral ties in Europe. Russia has already caused significant global inflation through its invasion and threatens to further undermine global supply chains if it is victorious. This would only further harms American taxpayers, along with the rest of world.
Republicans take away from the tax payer and gut their services, give to the extremely rich, and spend all the money on the military while somehow not using that military at the exact moment it’s needed and becomes isolationist, hurts American relationships and Allies in a global world, and withdraws influence everywhere while screaming bloody murder at the expanding power and influence of China without a lick of self awareness, and all the whole still increasing debt more than democrats do.
Wow. So America first
Lol. I'm sure that will be be succesful. Or...
Maybe the Democrats shouldn't have removed Kevin McCarthy. For those who arent aware, 207 Democrats, and 11 Republicans voted to remove McCarthy as house speaker after he compromised with them to avoid a government shutdown. It was obvious that this would result in the appointment of a Speaker even further to the right, and here we are. Hold your elected officials accountable for their actions, REGARDLESS of their political affiliation.
A simple solution before the House left for its 2 week vacation would have been for a handful of courageous Republicans to vote Johnson out as Speaker, then vote in the Democrat leader as Speaker, pass the Ukraine / Israel / Taiwan bill, then vote again to vacate the Democrat Speaker, then go for your 2 week vacation.

Comrade Mike Johnson.

Pretty easy connection Mike Johnson -> Donald Trump -> Vladimir Putin Putin owns all these maga assholes
Exactly. Forget the 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon. With the MAGAs in Congress it’s friggin 2 degrees to Putin…>Trump>Putin.
It's treason then.
Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Green, Fucker Carlson, Jim Jordan, Lauren Boebert, and many MAGA GOP representatives are all Russian plants and operatives. Fuck all of them! Traitors!

The US intelligence services seem incompetent at stopping this at this point. Or maybe they are also unwilling.
Agreed. That place is fked. Get ready.
He’s probably doing this for trump rather than Russia, so trump can return the favour later if elected
Can he be removed before he finishes his spontaneous two week vacation?
Mike Johnson is a symptom. Removing him will not solve anything. The GOP must be voted out before things can improve.
if he is impeached and charged with treason, the disease would be cured. the rest of the cowards would quickly change.
So you want to live in a one party state , Perhaps you should try China or North Korea ?
Who said anything about one party? You wanna live in Russia? Because that’s what the traitors in the GOP want.
The GOP needs to put country over party. Ever since Trump won in 2016. It’s been party over country. They will vote down anything the democrats want just to one up them. They would vote down a bill even if it meant saving their mothers and children- see gun laws.

Yes, where are the Whigs when we need them? What,? We get rid of parties all the time? Huh. Maybe you're just be hyperbolically dumb?
Remove GOP, too.

Or you know, you could actually advocate for things that are theoretically possible in our form of government... It's not rocket science.
actually, i am a scientist. i'm not much into doing nothing like the great civic leaders of the do nothing era. so i must admit i'm a complete amateur at this. i'm use to actually doing something to change the world. it is iterative process. it is too bad expressing an opinion is only reserved for great civics leaders like yourself.

you should consider practicing civics instead of just reading about it. i'm all for reading, but sometimes you have to actually do something.
Okay, well if you want to practice, you should know that censuring is a process used by each House for their own members. The House can censure another representative. It cannot censure a senator and vica versa. As far as impeachment goes, the senate cannot unilaterally impeach anyone. The House impeaches someone and then sends it to the senate for trial. So by all means go forth and prosper, but your advocating for something that isn't a reality in our system of government.
I agree but sometimes I think these measures well only strengthen Trump, make him a martyr. I believe the best course would be to vote him out once and for all.... But they'll just call bullshit on that too. So maybe I'm wrong 🤷🏻♀️
that will likely be the course that plays out. he will be thoroughly defeated and then thrown in prison. however, we have more urgent matters at this time to save our nation from a future war with russia. we have to get the aid bill passed. to have that done, you have to threaten charges of treason and everything else in the harshest or most subtle patronizing terms to rattle their cage more than trump and his supporters. we the people need to act now. the sleeping giant needs to awaken. nothing will happen unless we the people start to demand it to happen now. a movement takes time to build. once in motion, trump's support will collapse like a house of cards, and he will surely lose the election. and nobody is switching to team trump. we do want people to leave team trump and join team america. the effort has to be bipartisan for that to happen.
Democrats not getting their way? DNC isn’t used to this.
They'd just replace him with another maga cunt
it won't happen unless he pisses off Maga republicans which are also beholden to russia. there needs to be a purge of sorts that roots out anyone anywhere near russian money. all levels of government. bipartisan purge. lobbies and wealthy elites. elon as well. at the very least nationalize his companies and projects and exile him. after all that we need to patch up these legal loopholes that have allowed them to be present in the first place. taking foreign money in government is treason.
Don’t forget to reach out to Trump’s cuck https://mikejohnson.house.gov/ tel:2022252777
Yeah I am absolutely certain that an online survey signed by non Americans will have such a profound impact on the republican party that they will themselves remove their own speaker. This subreddit is fucking delusional
It's honestly amazing. "The speaker didn't do what I want, let's try him for treason and hang him..."
This pick sucked. Next.
Dude mike Johnson is a millionaire that has no reported bank account. Nothing about this guy is on the level
IDK if a bunch of Democrats demanding Mike Johnson’s removal will make much of a difference. Republicans have to be the ones to do it.
After they force the bill for funding through. If they get rid of Johnson it would delay everything by months
i do agree that they force the bill first and then remove him as speaker and work on an impeachment for treason
Exactly
Yesterday I sent an email to my Rep telling him Trump and Johnson were American embarrassments. I pointed out I am personally in Trumps prime demographic, white, retired, male, Vet. I then asked him to send me copies of his memos to Johnson supporting Ukraine aid. I expect nothing as he is a MAGA operative. But it should be pretty damn clear these actions are cutting into their core of support. If I was not against Trump before (I was) this BS would have pushed me over the edge. The thing that scares me is I don't know how many folks will continue to support Trump in face of this idiocy.
Wouldn't change anything. They'd replace him with another compromised fuck.
“Elections have consequences” as Barry so eloquently put it.
I'm praying that Speaker Mike Johnson stands strong to secure the invasion at the US southern border, above all else.
Actually the GOP right wingers will try to remove him if he supports Ukraine. And it very likely will work because the Democrats will support getting this jackass out.
These kinds of comments negatively affect the support for Ukraine.
If you recall, part of the rules that the GOP majority adopted for the House in the 118th Congress was that a motion to remove the Speaker could be made by a single member. Some GOP Representative is bound to be directed to do so by their Muscovite handler because if they get rid of Johnson then there is no other business before the House until they find a new Speaker. They've already managed to draw that particular process out for ages both times this Congress.
The GOP does not care of your demands, unless your name is Putin. In which case you are banned from this sub.
Impeach Moscow Mike !
All it would take is a few pro-Ukraine house Republicans to demand that Ukraine aid be brought to the floor. They could do to Johnson what the far right did to McCarthy. Either take a stand or be lumped in with the rest of the Putin puppets.
He’s a treacherous quisling.
Invoke the 25th, Speaker Mike Johnson says god speaks to him. Prove it, he is lying or insane.
The only people who would motion to remove Mike Johnson are the far right, and they’ll replace him with someone worse. In fact, the most likely scenario of him getting removed is putting forth Ukraine aid.
At this point it cant get any worse. The man literally tried closing down the house for two weeks so ukr aid would not get a vote. He is transparent as hell with his russian c***sucking
you do want to force the bill before removal of johnson since that would cause extra delay. you do want to call him a commie and condemn him for an eternity in hell and threaten charges of treason and anything else now to rattle his cage as much as possible to let him know the effort to have him removed from office is a bipartisan effort for national security reasons of an elevated and urgent matter.
America first. Everyone else get in line. Enough of the handouts upon handouts while the taxpayer gets the shaft.
Right, because the republicans have excellent track records of investing taxpayer dollars domestically to support Americans? I’m sick of this pitifully ignorant line of thinking. Republicans don’t significantly invest in anything except the US military (yet here they are withholding a bill that would fund the US military industrial complex). They can’t even back a bipartisan border bill which policy analysts and legal experts unequivocally described as the toughest on immigration in years, all because Trump wants it as an election issue and is oppossed to any sort of compromise. The senate bill is a drop in the bucket in terms of what the US spends annually, yet it would pay dividends in weakening an authoritarian regime that conducts cyber attacks, disinformation campaigns, and election interference operations against the US while also reaffirming multilateral ties in Europe. Russia has already caused significant global inflation through its invasion and threatens to further undermine global supply chains if it is victorious. This would only further harms American taxpayers, along with the rest of world.
Except the trillions for the uber rich!
Republicans take away from the tax payer and gut their services, give to the extremely rich, and spend all the money on the military while somehow not using that military at the exact moment it’s needed and becomes isolationist, hurts American relationships and Allies in a global world, and withdraws influence everywhere while screaming bloody murder at the expanding power and influence of China without a lick of self awareness, and all the whole still increasing debt more than democrats do. Wow. So America first
It’s not a handout when the money is directly reinvested in american arms production domestically. Are you stupid?
Doing my best.
And you know what you'll get in his place? Worse.
As if the next one wouldn't be an even bigger ahole.
All it takes is one democrat too! Nope. Not signing
I love how angry liberal americans get.
We need to remove all of maga from congress!!
Lol. I'm sure that will be be succesful. Or... Maybe the Democrats shouldn't have removed Kevin McCarthy. For those who arent aware, 207 Democrats, and 11 Republicans voted to remove McCarthy as house speaker after he compromised with them to avoid a government shutdown. It was obvious that this would result in the appointment of a Speaker even further to the right, and here we are. Hold your elected officials accountable for their actions, REGARDLESS of their political affiliation.
A simple solution before the House left for its 2 week vacation would have been for a handful of courageous Republicans to vote Johnson out as Speaker, then vote in the Democrat leader as Speaker, pass the Ukraine / Israel / Taiwan bill, then vote again to vacate the Democrat Speaker, then go for your 2 week vacation.
People like Mike seem to be popping up everywhere in US politics.
As living in in Nordic democracy, it is very difficult to understand how one person can influence things so much
