I am writing this on the day In October 2023, that speaker Johnson was selected. Politically, I completely disagree with speaker Johnson. But, he is indeed a very eloquent man with a good sense of humor. I hope that he will keep to his word and work on both sides of the aisle for the good of the American people.

And the new Frankenstein has just landed with a gavel.

The fact alone he puts God first is comforting. I greatly appreciate his inspiring words. I think they chose wisely.

"A strong America is good for the world"
True but the GOP believes that raising the "golden cow" is how strength is achieved.

Notice how the democrats continued sitting after he addressed the border catastrophe when the republicans stood and applauded?

Separation of Church and State. Stop the “pearl clutching”. A lie and fib is a lie and fib.

Election denier. Part 2 of the clown show coming up.

[chrisforrest]

Wow love this just how it unpredictably went unlike the pre ordained coronation style of voting a speaker

[reneebauman]

A young leader. As a Democrate even I'm excited by this choice. Political views are not mine. But let's give this new House a chance to work together.

[TenYearTexan]

Scalise is SO damn proud that Republicans finally elected a speaker. What a low bar of competence!

[carolinesharvest]

Praise the Lord God of Israel! He is removing every ungodly and wicked leader in our nation. More is coming including the false prophets of Baal i.e. legacy media. Stand firm saints and see the salvation of the Lord. We decree "America shall be saved!"🕊️🇺🇸🙏
