Current Events > Speaker Johnson: We Thought Democrat would be in Surgery During Impeachment

(+) Yeah! (+)

Johnson: Last night was a setback, but democracy is messy. We live in a time of divided government. We have a razor-thin margin here, and every vote counts. Sometimes when youre counting votes and people show up when theyre not expected to be in the building, it changes the equation.

Johnson and House Republicans were infuriated by Green's presence at the vote, and apparently had not counted on this possibility. In fact, the vote was planned with Green's absence in mind. Speaker Johnson planned the vote for Tuesday because he thought the Democrats would be down a vote while Green was in surgery.

They should have just waited

I'm sitting on 2 warnings for being to bold in my suggestions for what should happen to fascists. I'll just state that fascists are bad and there is a real simple way to deal with them.

I've got one warning for pretty much the same reason, and I'm in full agreement with you.

This should probably be mentioned next time those useless fucking ghouls screech about "decorum."

They need to let them vote from the hospital in situations like that

I just heard audio of Greene telling reporters that Democrats played "some game by hiding a Congressman and messing with our perception of the vote count"

Fucking cretins.

Yeah, for important-future deciding stuff like this they should let you vote remotely or some sort of proxy vote with a notarized letter idk.

Don't worry, the liberal media will call them out. They'll never hear the end of it.

If you vote Republican, then you are abetting evil.

Does the Senate have no say for this impeachment

Reps/House impeaches
Senate removes

That's what I thought. So it's cool that he showed up to vote, but it really wasn't going to result in anything actually happening had this passed

The result would mostly be "Hey, we impeached Biden! He's crooked and shouldn't be president!"

This nonsense isn't a Biden impeachment. It's an impeachment of the Homeland Security cabinet member for allegedly fucking up the border.

Frivolous, of course.

They actually don't want to be able to vote remotely. It's a better excuse to be absent than be forced to vote "present" for a bill that you were waffling on.

This is nothing compared to what y'all got, I did get modded for saying conservatives are evil. "Don't generalize conservatives" the mod said, but 99% of American conservatives support the fascist Republican party and all their actions.

I got modded for saying anyone who believes Trump is an idiot. Mod said, "don't call all Trump voters idiots".

It's also a reason for not repealing that law that limits how many representatives.

It forces right-wing media to cover the failure, which enrages and dismays their base.

It's also fucking hilarious.

No but the failure party is still wasting everyone's time with the vote in the first place. Also now refusing to address the border with funding or new bills.
