The Louisiana Republican announced on Wednesday morning on an all-staff call that he will not run for House minority leader for the new Congress next year, following Tuesday’s historical Democratic landslide takeover of the House of Representatives.
It’s not clear yet if Johnson has anointed a successor to lead the Republican caucus. Representative Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has already thrown his hat into the ring and announced he’s running for House minority leader. According to Punchbowl News, Jordan’s pitch will be that new blood is needed and that he specializes in investigations.
The current number two Republican in the House, Representative Steve Scalise, also announced that he is running for caucus leader.
I’m every single photo I’ve ever seen of him, he just looks confused to hell. Like he’s having super early dementia.
I mean I know he’s just plain evil, but he looks confused as hell, and Patel always looks awkward as fuck.
It’s all the drugs. Poppers probably. They are popular in the gay community.
They’re eating their young. I’m sending (yet another) e-mail to our RethugliKKKan Senator, asking if she regrets not removing it from office as I demanded so many times in the past. Her reply will be priceless.
I don’t know… pretty sure, behind closed doors, lil man LOVES him some humiliation!
You know you’re actually right about that? No joke. That’s actually how they are.
Jeffries and Schumer should have both stepped down after the embarrassing 2024 losses.
Good riddance racist loser.
Welcome to the club of the ex-future leaders of the Republican party.
Private equity, investment banking, and runs a SuperPac. They landed pretty well.
Was that an actual book?
That’s hilarious. I’ll keep an eye out for it on the resell books.
Brave Sir Johnson ran away…
I was struggling yesterday to remember whst this guys name is. He just carries trumps diaper bag now and rubber stamps his crimes. He didnt quit leadership, he got sidelined. Like all trumps allies, its only a matter of time until trump backstabs or scapegoats them.
Bye bye Mike
Next ghoul up.
Whomever leads Republicans in the House will be a sleazy little shit who lives to suck Trump’s stinking little toadstool.
Damn I’m just eating my lunch
well that narrowed it down…
Gotta get your résumé ready and sent to Fox News huh Mikey?…
Jordan’s pitch will be that new blood is needed and that he specializes in investigations
Yeah, of his own belly button.
Around here, we refer to him by his full Christian name, Gymnasium B. Jordan.
Handjob Jim “investigated” the boners of young wrestlers.
He’ll fit in well with trump. Trumps speeches about male asses are really unnerving. How would you like to be in that crowd listening to him drool.
Damn. People voted so hard they bullied this loser into quitting lol. Don’t stop now! Demand Democrats actually improve people’s lives.
In order to do that we need to replace the house and senate leadership.

Agreed. That’s part of the demand…
This guy?
The guy who’s parents probably dressed him like an old man with a briefcase from the age of 5?
The guy who looks like he went to boarding school as a kid, soil himself regularly and noone liked him there because he would tell on everyone?
The same guy who was most likely never invited, even out of sympathy, to any parties in University because he still dressed like an old man with a briefcase, never got laid because of his Oedipal complex, and would rat his entire alumni out for a pat on the head from the professors?
That guy?
Colour me absolutely fucking unsurprised. He made less effort to hide his wretched being than Grima Wormtongue.
That guy?
I’m sure that a company that caters to highly conservative people who feel the need to be “kept honest” with their browsing history does a bangup job keeping their servers up to date, and no foreign intelligence teams focus on it at all after the Speaker of the House bragged about using it.
That’s not just weird. That’s weeeeird.
These guys are just so absolutely non human.
The way I tend to think about it these days is that this guy is part of a community where that kind of thing is normal; otherwise, why would he share it?
If anything sexual is so big of a deal to him (and I infer it is from the statements he made), then how does that align with shielding his boss from the allegations made against him?
He would not be out of place in his own 8mm movie. That’s possibly why he’s done so well in the Republican party.
