Spineless Mike Johnson Grovels to Trump and Shutters the House Early (www.commondreams.org)

The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mike Johnson—probably the worst speaker in American history—shut down the House early this week before its five-week vacation. He wants to avoid holding votes on releasing the Epstein files that reportedly include, among other notables, President Donald J. Trump.

This is the latest valet service provided by a spineless Johnson, a Trump toady, whose groveling has no known boundaries. Imagine Johnson, a lawyer, took an oath to uphold the Constitution yet has no interest in safeguarding the independence of the congressional branch of our government.

It makes one wonder what dirt they have on Johnson.

It's the most obvious conclusion to draw from his behavior.

He has goals is a christo fascist theocracy. He'll do whatever he needs to do to make that happen

Looks like the last little bit of his soul being drained straight out of him.

Ugh, so we have to deal with the controversy for another five weeks.
