It’s slipping away from them

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

More and more people are acknowledging that it is a distinct possibility that Democrats will have the House Majority BEFORE the 2024 November election.
Mike Johnson’s Speakership appears to be on borrowed time. Reports are that her royal nutcase, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has been whispering in the ears of many a MAGA House Republican trying to get support to oust the Purity Ball aficionado.

But there’s more. Republican sources say that Johnson himself is not happy with the job. They say Johnson has been whining in private about the job’s demands and how difficult it is. He reportedly says he’s drained and cannot sleep well. Some Republicans say they think he’d be happy if the Speakership were no longer his at all.

But there is more. “Many republicans privately concede that they’re unlikely to keep the House this fall.” Wait just a minute here! Republicans are seeing reality? Wow. This I did not expect.

They will NOT keep the House because they’re a bunch of snarling and dirty dogs who do not know how to govern, and come November, WE will take back competence and the House and show the American people how it’s done.

Sources also say that on the almost non-existent chance they did keep the House, Johnson would be pressured to step aside. You know, friends and readers, incompetence never thrives. It may try, but at the end of the day, incompetence can’t win simply because it’s incompetence. I mean, think about it.

Republicans STILL, to this day, cannot agree on a House Speaker. It is really rather remarkable. Think about those online reviews of companies. If one were to write a review of the GOP House caucus, it might go something like this:

“Horrible place to work. Everyone is out to get each other. No work gets done. A lot of screaming however DOES get done.”

“If you work here, you will spend your time feeling frustrated, angry and walking on egg shells. Everyone hates each other, there is no leader and it is the most incompetent, absurd place one could possibly work at.”

So, yes, there is little sanity in the House of Horrors. If one were to name the Republican caucus, what would the name be? Perhaps in tribute to Johnson’s love of purity balls, the title of the House Republican caucus would be called “pure bullshit.”
