When longtime House Republican Ken Buck announced a few months ago that he was retiring at the end of the term, he seemed rather burned out and disgusted with the direction that his party was headed in. So it shouldn’t have come as a surprise when Buck decided this week that he’s actually going to retire before the end of the month.

But this news apparently did come as a surprise to “Speaker” of the House Mike Johnson, who was reportedly caught entirely off guard by the news. Apparently Johnson is so inexperienced, unskilled, and clueless when it comes to politics, it didn’t even occur to him that this kind of obvious development might happen.




Really? Mike Johnson couldn’t foresee that a member of his own caucus who was burned out and retiring in disgust might end up skipping out early? What does Johnson think it means when he sees dark clouds in the sky? What does he think happens when someone touches a hot stove? Mike Johnson is an idiot.
