Mike Johnson falling short in speaker vote, in unity test for Trump's Republicans

Nancy Mace’s Capitol Hill Bathroom Ban Missing from House Rules Package - Mike Johnson’s assurances from November that the controversial ban would be included appear to have fallen through.​

The House of Representatives convenes today and new members of the House – including out Reps.-elect Julie Johnson (D-TX), Sarah McBride (D-DE), and Emily Randall (D-WA) – will be sworn in.

The House will also have to pass a new set of rules that will govern how the House works over the next two years, and them noticed that one much-discussed rule from 2024 is not in the resolution: Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-SC) ban on trans women using the appropriate restrooms at the Capitol complex.

Shortly after the 2024 elections and after it became clear that McBride would be the first out trans member of Congress, Mace introduced a resolution to ban trans people from using the facilities associated with their genders at the Capitol complex. Trans people have been working at the Capitol and visiting it for decades without incident and McBride will get her own private bathroom in her office, so Mace’s rule would mainly have the effect of making it harder for trans staffers to work at the Capitol and for trans people to participate in democracy.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced in November that restroom usage would be determined by “biological sex,” but he didn’t provide any more details about his policy, how it would be enforced, or how “biological sex” would be defined.

Mace said in November that Johnson told her that her anti-trans language would be included in the rules resolution


“I talked to him multiple times yesterday, but he assured me it would be in the House rules package,” she told the HuffPost at the time.

The rules resolution does contain one reference to LGBTQ+ people. In the section on fast-tracked legislation that the House will vote on without any chance to modify them is a bill to ban trans kids, nationwide, from participating in school sports. Most of the other pieces of legislation listed in this section are related to immigration.

Republicans have an even narrower majority in the House this session. The GOP won 220 seats in the 2024 elections, but former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has already resigned from the House and won’t claim his seat. There were 215 Democrats who won seats in the House in the 2024 elections.

This could set up a contentious fight today over who will be the speaker. Republicans over the past several years have shown that they have a difficult time coming to a consensus on their House leadership, and it would take only two Republicans voting against Johnson to derail his speakership, since all Democrats are expected to vote against Johnson.
 
Only the far left Democratic Socialist loons could have a problem finding which bathroom a biological male or female should use.

Too funny.

Meanwhile, Trump and Vance take office in 16 days.

What to know about the new Congress​

  • Rep. Mike Johnson was elected as House speakerduring the first round of ballots by a razor-thin margin of 218-215.
  • Three Republicans initially defected from Johnson: Reps. Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Keith Self of Texas and Thomas Massie of Kentucky. Norman and Self switched their votes to Johnson after briefly meeting with him.
  • Massie voted for Majority Whip Tom Emmer. Every House Democrat voted for Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.

ALSO: It is important to remember that Mike Johnson shares an anti-masturbation app with his son so that he and his son can keep each other from rubbin' one out at the drop of a hat.

You know, maybe a big vote is coming up in the House and Mike really needs to run the vote but he also has an "urge" to masturbate to a picture of Melania Trump. He really wants to rub his pee pee, but they are calling members to the House floor. What to do??? Well he can just hit the app and his son will be alerted that dad is having impure thoughts and his son can call him and say "Dad, keep it together! You have a job to do!"

And more legislation that will make America Great Again can happen all thanks to a little anti-masturbation app.

She didn't flip a single county, not one.

Here's another fun fact. Hakeem Jeffries broke the record for the most number of times to be rejected as Speaker, at 20. Couldn't happen to a nicer America hater. This was due to all the votes they took to oust McCarthy, lol.
 
Magats…”They have majority of the house. Why did they need to flip 3 republicans? We see the shit show you elected. Can't even vote on a speaker without drama.”

A lie.
