Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 I'd bet Mike Johnson will keep his speakership because if the GOP can't pick a speaker on Jan 3 they can't certify the election on Jan 6.

And why? https://fortune.com/2024/12/23/can-trump-buy-greenland-what-to-know-besides-no/ Greenland has a strategic location straddling the North Atlantic and the Arctic, a region whose vast stores of critical minerals and fossil fuels are coveted by the US, Russia and China.

B-Man Posted January 2 Author Posted January 2 Mike Johnson's High Noon Moment Tomorrow Duane Patterson With the nation's focus rightly on the terrorist attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, and with what appears to be a gang shootout at a nightclub in Queens, the vote for the first domino to fall in a series of changes from the outgoing Biden administration to the incoming Trump administration takes place at Noon Eastern on Friday. Sure, Inauguration Day is on the 20th, and that promises to a Day One for the ages. But don't forget January 6th, which is when the House certifies the election results, putting President-Elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-Elect J.D. Vance on the glide path for the 20th. But tomorrow, January 3rd, is when the new Congress and Senate constitute. There will not be any fireworks in the upper chamber, as South Dakota Senator John Thune will now run things instead of Chuck Schumer, which is a grand thing. In the House, however, nothing happens until they have a Speaker. Mike Johnson is the only person who has or wants the job, but is not a lock to win the required 217 votes. The Republican caucus will send 219 members. He can lose two and no more to become Speaker. https://hotair.com/generalissimo/2025/01/02/mike-johnsons-high-noon-moment-tomorrow-n3798419
