Mike Johnson (R) Has 48 Hours To Swear In Adelita Grijalva (D) Or Arizona Is Suing Him

They already know about those things. They don’t care.

In their minds, raping young girls is what powerful rich men do.

Some of them believe that. Most of maga is in denial. Most of maga is not OK with raping under age girls. Most of them are good people who have been led astray by peer pressure and rumors. Many of the rumors have been started by big money funded (billionaires) right wing "think tanks." They want people to hate our own self government that we created and have the power to improve. Immigrant hated is a distraction. They want people to think it is hopeless to try to improve government and stupidly believe the best that can be done is to minimize government. This plays right into the hands of the billionaires who want less regulation of commerce so they can freely rip us all off. A smaller government is easier for billionaires to buy and control for their own selfish purposes.

Billionaires control maga beliefs. Trump has been a useful idiot to them, but the luster is wearing off. When the billionaires see the American public will not accept the rape of underage girls as "OK," the billionaires will abandon Trump and shift to Vance. The billionaires are reluctant to do this because Vance does not have the appeal nor charisma that Donald does. But when they finally are forced to give up on Donald that will be it for Donald.

FAFO, this is how Republicans will end up losing the midterms, telling voters who they voted for is not worthy of being sworn in.

Johnson's name is in the books as one of the worst Speakers we've seen in the modern era.

While also serving the worst President America's ever had.

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

Is House Speaker Johnson the ONLY person who can swear in Rep. Grijalva or can a judge, ANY judge, do it?
Go get a judge, ANY judge, walk the two into the House, swear her in and break the locks on her office door.
Screw the rules, MAGA and Trump don't follow rules, so why should anyone else.
She's sworn in, done deal.

Am I wrong on this, legal and constitutional scholars?

PS: And Arizona can STILL sue him anyway, the optics alone are worth it, even if the swearing in is declared null and void, because Johnson would have
to go on TV and respond to it.

 

[ColdHardTruth]

Swear her in!

Let her Vote!

You can bend the rules all you want, Mike, but at some point it's obvious that while you can push things a little bit and get away with it, refusing to swear in an elected member of Congress is crossing the line. It is pushing things too far. Your ass needs to be tossed.

This behavior on his part is good evidence that supports his removal from office.

He should also be deported to Louisiana.

 

[Linc]

If the roles were reversed, magas would have sued already.

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

Doesn't seem like Speaker Johnson can prevent someone else from swearing in Anita Grijalva. Am I wrong?
Even if I am wrong, forcing Speaker Johnson to repeatedly explain why she can't be sworn in will be wonderfully bad optics.
Imagine video of the Sergeant-at-Arms and Capitol Police dragging away a federal judge to prevent Anita from being sworn in.

Do it with a different judge every day.

2 U.S. Code § 25 - Oath of Speaker, Members, and Delegates

www.law.cornell.edu

At the first session of Congress after every general election of Representatives, the oath of office shall be administered by any Member of the House of Representatives to the Speaker; and by the Speaker to all the Members and Delegates present, and to the Clerk, previous to entering on any other business; and to the Members and Delegates who afterward appear, previous to their taking their seats.

The Clerk of the House of Representatives of the Eightieth and each succeeding Congress shall cause the oath of office to be printed, furnishing two copies to each Member and Delegate who has taken the oath of office in accordance with law, which shall be subscribed in person by the Member or Delegate, who shall thereupon deliver them to the Clerk, one to be filed in the records of the House of Representatives, and the other to be recorded in the Journal of the House and in the Congressional Record; and such signed copies, or certified copies thereof, or of either of such records thereof, shall be admissible in evidence in any court of the United States, and shall be held conclusive proof of the fact that the signer duly took the oath of office in accordance with law.
(R.S. § 30; Feb. 18, 1948, ch. 53, 62 Stat. 20.)

I agree that billionaires control MAGA, primarily through the right wing media they control. They’re pretty munched hypnotized at this point, after decades of propaganda. It’s the Independents who stumbled last election we need to win back.

 

[Deuce]

Arizona shouldn't just sue, they should put out a warrant for his arrest.

800,000 charges of conspiracy to deprive Americans of their rights.

 

[OrphanSlug]

Is this the plan for the midterms? Just refuse to swear anyone in and ignore the courts?

I would not rule it out, MAGAs are not known for concerning themselves with the Constitution or rule of law.

 

[Craig234]

There aren't that many 'independents'. Most are similar to party members who just want to say they aren't in a party. I've commented it seems independents are the least informed voters.

 

[CaughtInThe]

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Welcome back.

 

[Hamish Howl]

This has to be it. If ever there is something so bad that even Trump's BS can't make it go away, raping a 13yo girl has to be it.

Donald, your past is catching up with you.

The MAGAs would forgive even that.

 

[Fearandloathing]

Never forget that he did this to slow the release of the Epstein files (who the pedophiles are) EVEN AFTER they've redacted Trump's name and the names of Republicans.

He's not a Christian.

No shame!

Outright grifting!

There MUST be serious shit in the Epstein files. Trump is expending mucho political points in keeping this under wraps. Who he will owe will be very powerful in DC.

I suspect it could be something that would bring the fat bastard down.

 

[Peacenik]

No they don't. They simply deny it. Refuse to believe the truth. They are quite well practiced at that.

Wouldn't they just say it's a biblical

 

[phoenix2020]

I wonder which MAGA idiot will be rolled in to run air cover for Mike Johnson.

 

[bythoughts]

It only takes one Republican to sign on to that discharge petition, and then denying Arizona representation wouldn't even matter. So every Republican is making the choice to give up on the republican form of government in favor of letting billionaires rape little kids.

From now on it will be people in Thailand cracking jokes about the US, never again the other way around.
