If I didn’t know Johnson was serious, I’d laugh out loud-- what nerve! 🤯 Of course, he’s just currying favor with Der Trumpnik. **Johnson urges Supreme Court to “step in” on Trump verdict** [https://www.axios.com/2024/05/31/mike-johnson-trump-supreme-court](https://www.axios.com/2024/05/31/mike-johnson-trump-supreme-court) > House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) called for the U.S. Supreme Court to “step in” to overturn the [guilty verdict](https://www.axios.com/2024/05/30/trump-guilty-new-york-criminal-trial) against former President Trump in his New York hush money trial. > > **Why it matters:** It’s one of the starkest examples yet of Republicans, [furious about the jury’s decision](https://www.axios.com/2024/05/31/trump-trial-guilty-verdict-republican-revenge), calling for some form of intervention to protect the ex-president. > > … > > **What he’s saying:** “There’s a lot of developments yet to come, but I do believe the Supreme Court should step in, obviously, this is totally unprecedented,” Johnson said Friday in an [appearance on Fox and Friends](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np6SbZbYNd0). > > - “I think that the Justices on the court – **I know many of them personally** – I think they are deeply concerned about that, as we are. So I think they’ll set this straight,” the Louisiana Republican added. > - But, Johnson added, “it’s going to take a while … this will be overturned, guys, there’s no question about it, it’s just going to take some time to do it.” > > … My bold. Okay, when I got to _“I know many of them personally,”_ I DID laugh out loud! 😉 ---

Tell me you count on your audience not knowing how the federal and state government branches work to make them think you’re doing anything about it, without telling me you are sure that your audience doesn’t know how the federal and state government branches work. ---

Translation: “We’re going to go on doing the exact same thing we’ve been doing for the last 4 years. We’re just going to yell about it a little bit louder in the hopes of changing the public narrative right now.” I would also like to suggest to the MAGAT’S that a real temper tantrum includes holding your breath until you turn blue in the face and pass out. Come on guys do it right. ---

Nope. But they’re all bragging about how they’ll proudly vote for a convicted felon, posting upside down American flags, and pictures of “We the People are Pissed” flags. Oh, and they’re threatening to arrest all Democrats they don’t like (yeah, I know), and, of course, “deport Obama back to his native country”. ---

Stupid is thinking that you can ride the same wave of cash that Trump is using. He never shares.
