Who knew that it was so exhausting to... *not* do your job?

Speaker Johnson is pooped.

so he had no real work to do during that time. And he's complaining about being exhausted? I'm sure all the Democrats in the House would be glad to give him a permanent vacation....

These people are the wealthiest and most powerful, most famous, and best connected in the world. They have every privilege and treat their public service as a career.

Speaker Johnson does not need to be Speaker, nor does he need to be a Representative. If it is so difficult, quit.

I realize Speaker Johnson thinks he was called by his Creator and Lord. In this capacity, he seems to be serving two masters. Or perhaps none.

I am exhausted by him. I hope he is humiliated like Kevin McCarthy was.
