Johnson Rages After Republican Rebellion Humiliates His Lard and Savior Trump

House Speaker Mike Johnson fumed after Republican s failed to approve a short-term extension of a key spy authority provision, known as FISA, in a blow to President Trump.

The president posted on Truth Social on Wednesday, calling the extension "very important to our Military, and keeping the American People safe," but the vote failed dramatically on Thursday.

The bill did not even get a simple majority, let alone the necessary two-thirds majority, failing 198 to 218. 19 Republicans joined 199 Democrats to vote against the bill. Only seven Democrats voted for it. 15 members did not vote.

Democrats in both the House and Senate have balked at the president's naming Bill Pulte, who has zero national security or intelligence experience, as his acting Director of National Intelligence, upending talks on a bipartisan Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) extension.

The felon has one qualification: Will the appointee abuse power to corrupt the election??

Jay Clayton answered that question with a big fat "You can count on me" earlier this week.

This is not a man that can be entrusted with FISA power.

Cowards now, but starting to realize their Führer is a senile old fraud who has lost the MAGA support that feeds them all. Bored with Iran? Inflation is great? Child molester? Corruption so severe that even his most obsequious sycophants are speechless? His are not minor failings that can be ignored forever.

When it comes, I actually expect the change to be swift. The question for me is how/when:

- Will he die before he can be removed? We're all holding our breaths.
- Convinced to resign "at the top of his career" so he can sleep all day?
- Kicked out by the 25th Section 4?
- Or impeached and removed?

There's no way he'll last his term. What's unknown is just how critical his health problems are and whether he knows he should step aside before being carried out on a stretcher.

Just my opinion ofc, and I'm often wrong.

Apparently he loves spying and eavesdropping on people, but hates the people who do that legally.
