Never thought I would see the day! A politician that truly wants to serve rather than to wield his power!

Of course I am talking about Mike Johnson, the Speaker of The House that jumped to his feet and cheered when Der Fuehrer peed on him in front of millions of people around the world. This man is so giving and so thoughtful that when he is told that the branch of government that he leads is unnecessary and powerless to stop the man that he should be a counterbalance to, he not only concedes, he leads the crowd in his own ass kicking! "That's right, sir. I am useless, as are the hundreds of duly elected representatives I lead. You do not need us to institute any tariffs or for that matter any form of taxation you want".
We are in very dark days in this democracy. When most members of the House do not even understand that when the President says he will do whatever he wants and ignore the wishes of the House they should be furious, not thrilled, there is a real problem. These people must be replaced.
