Politics congress mike johnson
Mike Johnson condescendingly announced Congress will take off until September, and the internet united in a state of rage
It must be hard work mucking up a country so thoroughly and so quickly, because congress is heading off for vacation a day early. They won’t be back to vote on anything until September. It’s almost as if they’re breaking to block a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
Speaker of the House and Trump loyalist Mike Johnson was there to smugly deliver the news.

Sure, we could all use a break from this political turmoil, only, most of us aren’t the ones being paid to sort out this whole mess. As you can imagine, the internet wasn’t thrilled with this news and responded accordingly.

There is no explanation, at this point, that doesn’t include Trump"s guilt.

MAJOR BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson says he’ll SUSPEND the House until SEPTEMBER to block Epstein file votes—and brags Trump “agreed.” They’re not leaders. They’re accomplices. Cowards protecting predators. Never forget it.

You'd think a man of 'faith" would want the Epstein files released so Pedos could be prosecuted?

Congress has 19 weeks of scheduled time off this calendar year.
Frankly, it’s an insult to hard working Americans who foot the bill.— Susie (@SoCalSister22) July 22, 2025
